Chapter 8 Meny Chapter 8 Warren froze . All of a sudden , he grabbed Melanie's hand and pulled her onto the stage . " Let's start . " Everyone was stunned . What was going on ? Seeing no reaction , Warren frowned slightly , his voice turning cold . " This is my engagement party , isn't it ? Why are you just standing there ? " Words failed Araceli . She never expected that . It was the first time she saw Warren , who never cared about anyone , looking so eager . His parents were also stunned . Sure enough , it was best for him to pick his wife . He was both eager and terrified now . Bethany didn't know what to say . Did he think Melanie was just a random girl ? Did he want to take her away ? The atmosphere turned awkward . Everyone was looking at Estelle . She wished she could disappear . Her fiancé was not only breaking off their engagement . He wanted to get engaged to another woman at her own party . Did he even care about her at all ? Tears welled up in Estelle's eyes . She grabbed Winona's hand and sobbed , " Mom , Mr. Fulton is marrying Melanie . What am I supposed to do ? You know I've loved him since we were kids . I took Melanie's place for years . I owe her , but Mr. Fulton is the one I truly love . " Winona's heart ached . She gently wiped Estelle's tears . " Don't worry . No one can take away what's meant to be yours . " Then she stepped forward and shouted , " Melanie , haven't you caused enough trouble ? The switch wasn't Esty's fault . Why do you keep targeting her ? Since you came back , you've hit her and now you're trying to steal her fiancé . Why are you so full of hatred ? " Melanie had just raised her foot to kick Warren off the stage , but Winona's words stopped her . She slowly lowered her leg and gave Winona a cold stare . Simon stared at Melanie coldly and said in a low voice , " I warned you not to cross Esty . But you didn't listen . Just because Grandma supports you doesn't mean I can't touch you . You gave up on this engagement yourself . Now you're trying to take it back and humiliate Esty in front of everyone . If this gets messy , don't say I didn't warn you . " He continued , expressionless , " You have two choices . Explain things to Warren and apologize to Estelle , or I'll have someone throw you 3.7 % 09:28 AD Kelly Support genuine reading PG 广告 I , the princess of the Mafia empire , now hides like a stray dog .

He walked slowly , his commanding presence making the crowd part . Stopping in front of Simon , he casually spun the ring Melanie had given him and said coldly , " Are you threatening her ? " Menu Simon looked up , unafraid . " Warren , I don't care what happened between you and Melanie before . But now , you're Esty's fiancé . You need to end things with Melanie . " He glanced at Melanie . " And yes , I was threatening her . If she keeps pestering you , I'll personally kick her out of the Rasmussen family . " Before Simon could finish , Warren moved . No one saw how it happened . By the time they realized , Simon's hand was broken . Before anyone could react , Warren kicked him across the hall . The force sent Simon crashing to the floor ,, coughing up blood . The crowd gasped . Warren picked up a chair and walked slowly toward Simon . Simon , lying on the ground , tried to crawl away , but Warren kept closing in . He looked up and saw Warren walking toward him with a chair . Warren walked slowly , and the hotel lights shone on him , making him look like a demon from hell . It was really creepy . Simon struggled to back away , but every time he took a step back , Warren moved a step closer . Behind Simon was a locked door . There was no escape . " W - What are you doing ? " Simon stammered , trying to stand but failing . Yet , he was drained of strength and could only threaten , " Our grandmothers are best friends . If you hurt me , they'll become enemies ! " Araceli and Bethany exchanged a glance and then looked away . Enemies ? Not a chance . Even if Warren wiped out the entire Rasmussen family today , their bond wouldn't break . No one understood how deep their friendship was . Warren stood over Simon , one hand in his pocket , the other holding a chair . His voice was colder than ever . " You dared to bully my woman ? " A loud bang was heard . Warren didn't give Simon a chance to speak and just swung the stool down at his leg . 09:28 AD Kelly Support genuine reading PG 广告 I , the princess of the Mafia empire , now hides like a stray dog . 3.7 % View now > < Chapter 8 A painful scream came from the banquet hall . Warren pulled out a pack of wet wipes and slowly cleaned the hand he'd just used to pick up the chair . Then , without warning , he grabbed the nearest person and asked calmly , " Got any cash ?" " Huh ? " The man jumped , startled . He hadn't done anything to offend Warren . Why was he suddenly the target of his anger ? He didn't react for a while . Before he could even process the question , he found himself staring into Warren's cold eyes . " Y - Yes ... " he stammered , quickly pulling out a stack of cash from his briefcase . " 16 thousand dollars . Is that enough ? " Who even carried cash these days ? Menu That money was payment he'd just received before the party . He hadn't even had time to deposit it , and now Warren was taking it just like that . The key thing was , he wasn't a relative of the Rasmussen family or the Fulton family ! He came to attend the engagement party , but only realized he was in the wrong hall after coming in . He was about to leave , but saw that the groom was Warren , head of Chicago's Fulton family , so he sat down without thinking . He never expected that he would suddenly be hit by such a disaster . He felt like crying . " That's enough . " Warren took the money and tossed it to Simon . " For your medical bills . " Then he threw the used wipe at Simon's feet . " Remember . You can mess with me , but not my woman . Next time , you won't be so lucky . I'll make sure every hospital in Atlanta has a bed ready for you . " A scream cut through the air . Winona finally snapped out of her shock . " Simon ! Are you okay ? " She turned to the nearby waiter , furious . " What are you all standing there for ? Get him to the hospital now ! " Simon was carried out before he could say another word . Winona stormed over to Araceli , seething . " Madam Fulton , don't you think you owe us an explanation ? You insisted that Esty marry Warren . Now he's breaking the engagement and nearly killed Simon . Is this how your family treats people ? " AD
