âI donât lack friends. Thank you.â
Charlotte did not take his card. Instead, she glanced at Eleanor and politely refused him.
Eleanor came from a well-off family, and with his outstanding appearance, he had pursued countless women. This was the first time that he had been rejected so bluntly.
This woman had caught his attention.
Eleanor romantically stroked his hair and winked at Charlotte. âFriends are never too many, right?â
âShe already has a husband. Thereâs no need for so-called friends.â Joe had noticed Eleanor early on.
He had thought that Eleanor was just having a simple conversation, but Joe didnât expect Eleanor to talk about such things.
Eleanor looked grave.
As long as he said a few more words, Charlotte might be moved by him. Why should Joe suddenly appear?
âSo, what if youâre married? As long as sheâs willing, I can pay for the best lawyer for herâ¦â Before Eleanor could finish his words, Joe punched him in the face with his right fist.
The face that Eleanor had always been proud of was ruined, and the right side of his face was swollen.
âHow dare you!â Eleanor glared fiercely at Joe, âDo you know who I am? How dare you hit me? The Dryden family is not ordinary!â Before Eleanor could finish his words, Joe had already kicked him in the stomach. Eleanor, who had been screaming just now, fell to the ground with a scream. âYou!â Eleanor pointed at Joe in disbelief. No one had ever dared to be so arrogant to him after he introduced himself.
Joe curled his lips and glanced at Eleanor with disdain. âNot to mention you, even if Gallacher stood in front of me, I would still beat him.â
If Joe, who had just been in front of Charlotte, was like a gentle gentleman, then he was like a high and mighty emperor now.
Joeâs cold gaze made Eleanor shiver. He even ignored the fact that Joe called his grandfatherâs name.
Eleanor staggered to his feet and glared at Joe. âI wonât let you off!â
After that, Eleanor turned around and ran away.
At this time, Dr. Garie and Evelina also hurried over and looked at him with great concern. âJoe, are you right?â
It was not a secret in the community that Eleanor was a womanizer. Evelina and Dr. Garie thought that Charlotte would not like him, but they did not expect that Eleanor would be so ungrateful.
âYeah, Iâm fine. Iâll teach him a lesson.â Joe didnât care about it. After the banquet, he called Eleanorâs grandfather.
Gallacher didnât know what had happened at the banquet. Seeing Joe call him, he was ecstatic.
The Dryden family enterprise had suffered a serious blow for some special reasons. At this time, they were extremely troubled.
If Joe can invest in themâ¦
Gallacher cleared his throat, âHow are you, Mr. Smith?â
âI just had a conflict with your grandson, Eleanor. Iâm sorry.â
Although he was apologizing, there was no trace of apology in his tone.
Gallacher did not notice that something was wrong. He just thought it was a small conflict. He quickly said, âI apologize on his behalf. I donât know how he offended youâ¦â
âEleanor proposed to help my wife hire a divorce lawyer at the banquet,â Joe said in a cold voice.
Gallacher was shocked and almost dropped the phone in his hand.
