Chapter 207 Know Your Place
?
He stared at Celine coldly and asked, "Who is he?"
Although she was being stared at coldly, Celine didn't tense up at all. Instead, she looked directly into Arthur's eyes as she responded, "He is someone who is way out of your league." Celine's voice was filled with confidence and she didn't look like she was lying at all.
Even Katelyn herself was surprised by how confident Celine was in Jack. But, she had no choice but to think that Celine's confidence in such a situation was nothing but foolishness. Being brave and confident wasn't bad. But, it depended in the situation that one was currently in.
True to her thoughts, the mood that Arthur was in at the moment plummeted further at the mention that he wasn't as good as the boyfriend that Celine was mentioning.
He had previously made sure to investigate Celine well enough to know that at that time, she had no boyfriend. In the end, it had already been some time already and it wasn't an impossibility for her to get a boyfriend in that time. That was more so due to the fact that she had left Kartu city recently.
"Since that's the case then, I'll have to take you with me so that that bastard that you are calling boyfriend will come to look for me on his own accord." Arthur stated with a perverse smile on his face.
"What do you mean by saying that you are taking her with you? Let me inform you as early as now that you better not touch my daughter. Otherwise, I'm going to make sure that you regret it." Katelyn frowned at the moment that Arthur mentioned that he was planning to take Celine away.
"Hahaha, you don't need to worry about anything at all. I'm going to take care of your daughter for you. As for her boyfriend, I'll merely cripple him. That should be enough punishment for laying his hands on something that this young master has set his eyes on." Arthur laughed as he responded.
At this moment, the door was opened again. And this time, there was a group of three bulky men that entered. Their entrance made Katelyn and Celine alarmed. To say the least, none of them was expecting that there was someone who was going to come in at this moment.
From their ferocious expressions, they could already tell that they were not on their side. Seeing their change in expressions, Arthur laughed again as he said, "You didn't think that I always walk alone, did you? Those three are the ones that are in charge of my security. So, today they are going to be more than that. They are going to help me in carrying my girl out of here."
Katelyn's and Celine's expressions shifted drastically. This was basically out of their expectations. Who would have thought that Arthur would try forcefully taking Celine with him during the day?
Celine on the other hand, although she was surprised and was somehow afraid about what was going to happen next, she had some kind of blind faith that her man would be there for her.
So, she hurriedly took out her phone and sent a text message to Jack to inform him that she was in trouble. Although she didn't know if he was free to come to her aid, she was sure that he would definitely come.
Arthur saw that Celine was taking out her phone. But he didn't try to stop her. He was curious about who this man was that dared to try getting his hands on Celine.
Katelyn knew that there was no way that the staff members of the company would risk their everything just to help her out. At the end of the day, they all knew about the reputation of this young master.
She was ready to try her best to fight so that she would give her daughter a chance to get out of the situation. But, she had to wait till the three people who were blocking the entrance moved from there.
She didn't even realize that Celine had taken out her phone and was texting Jack. Otherwise, she would have stopped her from doing that. After all, she didn't know about Jack's current abilities and would have thought that he would be in trouble the moment that he got here.
After sending the text to inform Jack about what was happening, Celine was surprised to see that Arthur was looking at her with great interest instead of trying to stop her. This made her curl her lips coldly.
Although she didn't know who this young master in front of her was, at the end of the day, she knew Jack. Although he didn't show it, she knew that he was powerful enough than a young master like the one that was in front of her.
As for his combat abilities, that was something that she was the least worried about because she had been lucky enough to see Jack fighting. And, he was so strong in that he had completely captured her heart with his strength.
"Now that you are done, I guess it's time for us to leave, right?" As he said that, Arthur motioned towards the three guys that had entered into the office. They immediately took action because they knew what Arthur was expecting of them.
Seeing the three that were heading their way, although she wasn't sure about what Arthur was talking about, Katelyn immediately decided to block the path of the three. "You better not try touching my daughter. Otherwise, I'm going to call the police."
Hearing her threats, Arthur simply chuckled and said, "Do you think that the police can help you out? You better stop dreaming and let me do this the easy way. Though I don't mind the hard way either as that will make things more interesting."
Before Katelyn could say more, the three had already made their moves. And although they were sure that a single of them could easily take care of the two women, because they were not supposed to hurt the lady that was going to be their young master's woman, they made a move together.
Katelyn tried blocking the way while shouting, "Celine, get out of here immediately. I'll stop them for you."
Unfortunately, she hadn't finished speaking when a tight slap landed on her cheek. There was great force behind the slap in that it threw her down on the floor.
The action of the one that had slapped her infuriated Celine. "How dare you hot my mother?! I'm going to kill you!" Although she knew that the situation wasn't in their favor, she still couldn't accept someone laying a hand on her mother.
Although her mother was always strict on her, she loved her dearly. So, she decided to give her all in making sure that she made someone paid for his actions.
She picked up a cup that was on the desk and threw it towards one of the two that were heading her way. The cup was thrown with all the strength that Celine had due to her anger. So, the guy that was targeted had no chance of evading at all.
The cup smashed onto his forehead, making him seize his actions for a moment before he continued going forward in the next second.
Although Celine had thrown the cup with all her strength, the guy that was hit was a war veteran. He had been engaged in several fights and had suffered several grievous injuries. So, the injury that was caused by the cup was nothing serious to him.
By the time that Celine was looking for another thing that she could use to hit someone with it, the other guy had already gotten to her. He immediately grabbed her by her wrists as he pulled her towards him as he tried restraining her.
Although Celine tried her best to get out of the man's grasp, she was no match for him at all in terms of strength. So, before she could even struggle even further, the other guy had already gotten to her and the two of them managed to stop her from doing anything other than trying to struggle and shouting in anger.
On the other hand, Katelyn was being held down by the remaining of the three. Although she had been slapped badly previously, she didn't lose her consciousness. But all the same, there was nothing that she could do in the situation that they were in at the moment.
Not only were they disadvantageous in terms of numbers, but the ones that were holding them down were men that were far stronger than the two of them.
Arthur looked at all of this with a bright smile on his face. He clapped his hands and said, "Let's get going then, I simply hope that the one that you texted was your boyfriend and not the police. Otherwise, things won't be interesting anymore.
*knock* *knock* *knock*
At this moment, there was another knock on the door. It was only that the person on the other side didn't come in immediately after knocking on the door. Instead, it seemed that the person was waiting to be invited in.
"What idiot is it that is here now?" Even though he was about to leave, the moment that he heard someone knocking on the door, he was immediately displeased. So, he shouted at the person although he didn't know who it was. "Better get lost right now before I lose my temper."
Instead of leaving, the other person opened the door. The moment that he stepped into the room, all eyes that were looking at the door widened in both surprise and disbelief.
The person that had just come in didn't think anything about the different gazes that landed on him. Instead, his eyes were extremely cold as he stared at the situation in the office. He then shifted his gaze to the three that were holding Celine and Katelyn.
Lastly, he looked at Arthur and stated coldly, "You really are bold. I wonder if you know your place or not?"
At this moment, there were three gasps that had finally managed to escape the mouths of three people.
