The low voice suddenly roared The rude guy found the source of the voice, turned his head, and saw a handsome man who towered above him. His confidence took a hit, âWhatâs it to you?â
Balfourâs handsome and elegant face showed no obvious anger. He calmly looked down at the rude guy, then said, âStay away from her.â
Despite his calm demeanor, the chill emanating from him was bone-chilling.
The crowd in the elevator all turned their attention to thern, seemingly eager to see the dispute.
The rude guy was actually a bit scared inside. The other party was obviously a big shot with a strong aura. But in front of all these people, his pride wouldnât let him back down easily, so he retorted âWho are you to her? Why should I listen to you?â
Balfour remained unflustered. âYou donât need to know that much. Just leave her side now!â
The guy felt strange. Did they know each other? If they did, why werenât they together just now?
They definitely didnât know each other.
He looked at Ellinor, whom he had cornered, thought for a moment, and quickly figured out some things.
âEver heard of the concept of first come, first served? I spotted this pretty lady first. Youâre too late, mate!â
Balfour didnât say anything but just narrowed his eyes.
âAh!â
Suddenly, the guyâs face contorted in pain.
Just now, Balfour had grabbed the guyâs wrist, pulled him away from Ellinor, and then gave it a hard twist.
His arm was twisted behind him; the pain was unbearable, and he finally gave in, âOuch! That hurtsâ¦
Man, can we talk this through? Letâs talk this through! Just let go of me. Iâll leave the pretty girl to you, alright?!â
Balfour was still holding the guyâs arm but didnât even glance at him again. Instead, he turned to the girl squeezed in the corner and commanded, âCome here, stand by me!â
Ellinor blinked, moved through the crowd, and obediently stood next to Balfour.
Despite their disagreements, they were both decent people, which was a lot better than standing next to the rude guy.
Also, this hotel elevator was so slow. Why hadnât it reached the ground floor yet?
Balfour raised his other arm, gently moved Ellinor behind him, shielding her, and then finally let go of the rude guy.
The rude guy was free again. He rubbed his twisted arm and grumbled, âMan, you hit someone over a stranger? Itâs just a woman, isnât it? If I canât get her, you can still try! Whyâd you have to get physical?!â
Balfour arrogantly looked at the scumbag; not only was he unacceptable to women, but Balfour also despised such people who did not respect a girlâs wishes. He wasnât worthy of being called a man.
When the elevator doors finally opened.
The spectators dispersed, whispering among themselves.
The scumbag was also ready to leave the elevator, but he was still disgruntled over the humiliation. He shot Ellinor a nasty look before leaving and spitefully spat out, âPah! Troublesome woman! Even if you were free, I wouldnât want you!â
With that, he was on his way to stride down the stairs..
However, he didnât get to. His other arm was again seized, then given a brutal twist, almost dislocating it on the spot.
