Chapter 187 Antonio Got Into a Fight for Her
Asa redirected his gaze and casually said, "Mr. Jerrett misunderstood. How are things progressing regarding the cooperation with the Valencia family today?"
"It's a bit tricky. They are currently unsatisfied with our pricing... We need to make more preparations," Serene replied with a restrained smile, her voice deep.
Asa nodded. He had likely guessed that the Valencia family wouldn't easily cooperate with J&K. After all, the Valencia family was the outstanding figure in this city, and their cooperation wasn't something an ordinary company could secure.
...
Sarah had just arrived at the station near the company when she saw the familiar car parked not far away. She quickly walked over, opened the car door, and saw Antonio sitting in the driver's seat.
"You're quite punctual," Sarah said as she fastened her seatbelt.
"I didn't want to keep you waiting, so of course, I had to be on time."
Antonio's voice was calm, but Sarah sensed a hint of warmth in it, though she wasn't sure if it was her imagination.
"However, we need to make a trip to the supermarket. We need to buy some ingredients," Sarah said after thinking for a moment. Their home refrigerator probably didn't have the ingredients Harper wanted to eat.
"Alright," Antonio raised an eyebrow, knowing that Sarah was planning to cook dinner for the children herself tonight.
The two of them went to the largest nearby mall. Whether it was due to an event or discounts in the fresh produce area, it was abnormally crowded.
Antonio frowned as he looked at the scene. He was hesitating whether to call the servants and have them prepare the ingredients. However, his palm suddenly felt warm.
His eyes widened, and he turned his head to the woman beside him, who was smiling lightly at him.
"Mr. Valencia, today you shall experience life among humans," Sarah said, grabbing Antonio's arm and walking towards a narrow aisle beside the crowd.
Antonio subconsciously tightened his grip on her hand.
Sarah looked up with confusion and met his gaze.
She saw his expressionless face and heard him say, "It's crowded, and I'm afraid you'll get lost."
Sarah smiled tactfully in response to Antonio's thoughts.
Without retorting, she directly led Antonio towards the fruit section.
Durian curry rice was Harper and Ethan's favorite, and Sarah naturally wouldn't overlook it this time.
Just as the two of them were approaching the fruit section, a man who had just picked out a durian suddenly turned and headed towards a side path.
Caught off guard, Sarah collided with the man who appeared out of nowhere!
In an instant, she had an intimate encounter with the durian held in the man's hand.
The sudden pain made Sarah let out a low cry, "Ah..."
At the same time, the durian fell to the ground and split into two halves!
Unexpectedly, the man grew furious and angrily scolded Sarah, "Can't you walk properly? Are you ..."
"Rubbish!"
The way he behaved, it was like a villain making false accusations.
Who doesn't pay attention while walking, who knows the truth in their heart.
Sarah hadn't even recovered from the pain when she heard the abusive words from the nasty uncle. For a moment, she didn't know how to retaliate.
At that moment, Antonio stepped forward, his eyes squinted, revealing a cold glint. His voice was deep and intimidating, "What did you say just now? I didn't hear clearly, say it again."
Seeing Antonio's gaze, a hint of fear appeared in the nasty uncle's eyes.
But then he thought, this is a supermarket, what can this man do to him?
So he mustered up his courage and looked at the man in front of him, "I said, are you all blind, didn't see..."
Before he could finish speaking, Antonio took a step forward and punched him right in the face!
The sudden sound echoed in the room—
Sarah was shocked!
She never expected Antonio to take direct action!
And the nasty uncle was also stunned. He didn't expect this man to actually hit him in broad daylight.
The nasty uncle looked at Antonio with bloodshot eyes, "You, with no manners..."
"Bang!"
"Ahh! I'll kill you..."
"Bang!"
"I..."
"Bang!"
Several consecutive punches left the uncle dazed!
He stared blankly at Antonio in front of him.
But at this moment, the uncle dared not say a word.
Antonio looked into his eyes, then clenched his right hand into a fist. His eyes narrowed, emitting a dangerous light. "I apologize, I didn't hear clearly just now, could you please say it again?"
How could the uncle dare to say another word at this point?
He covered his mouth, shaking his head, afraid that Antonio might hit him again!
A slight smile appeared on Antonio's lips. If he didn't give someone like this a taste of their own medicine, he wouldn't know what society is about.
He took out a check from his pocket and threw it in front of the uncle—
"Your medical expenses!"
Antonio paused, and a hint of a subtle curve appeared. In the eyes of the uncle, it was chilling.
"If the cost is not enough, feel free to continue speaking. I have plenty of money, understand?"
Like a chicken pecking at food, the uncle nodded and didn't even bother to pick up the durian on the ground. He turned around and fled.
Clearly, this man is not one to mess with!
Although he got paid after being beaten, it was still very embarrassing to be seen in public.
After the nasty uncle left, Sarah turned around and looked at Antonio, pretending to be angry as she asked, "Why did you hit him?"
Antonio gave a cold smile, "He can hit and curse at me, but he can't curse at you. Not to mention, what's the harm in beating him up or even killing him?"
Although Sarah knew that Antonio was just saying it harshly, she couldn't help but admit that at this moment, warmth was surging in her heart.
Her hand that was being held by Antonio involuntarily squeezed back...
