Debbie raised her fist and threw it at Lewis' face. Although Lewis knew next to nothing about martial arts, he was a fan of boxing matches, and was fast enough to dodge her fist.
Seeing Debbie start a fight, Portia ordered Ralph in a harsh voice, "Why are you still standing there? The bitch dares to beat Mr. Lewis Huo! If he gets hurt, do you think you could afford it?"
Ralph didn't dare to offend either side, so he told the bodyguards, "Stop them!"
Cornered by Debbie, Lewis warned, "Woman! One more step and I'll escalate this!"
"Escalate to whom? Is it Carlos you're banking on? Shouldn't you be ashamed of calling on another man to fight the stupid scuffles you started?" Debbie snapped.
Seeing Debbie not convinced, Lewis took his phone out from his pocket. Just then, she landed a punch in his belly. He winced in pain.
Joining in, Kasie took the chance to slap him across the face. A humiliated Lewis shouted to the bodyguards, "Drag them away!"
Helpless, yet fumed with rage, Portia thought to herself, 'Who does she think she is?! She used to be the dog of me and my brother.' In her high heels, she rushed to Debbie and grabbed her arm. "Debbie Nian, if you dare touch Mr. Lewis Huo again, I swear it will be the end of you and my brother!"
"Huh?" Debbie's jaw dropped. "Are you kidding me? You think the Gu family is something I give a damn about, don't you? To be honest, your family was even no match for Jared's family before. It is a stroke of luck that Hayden has managed to improve the lot of the Gu family in the last few years. So stop showing off. You are just from a nouveau riche family."
The blunt truth in Debbie's words incensed Portia. With a sour face, she snarled, "Shut up, bitch!"
"Your mouth stinks!" Debbie shook off Portia's hand. "Portia Gu, I'm not the old Debbie Nian anymore. I don't give a hoot about you or your stupid brother. I'm going to teach this Mr. Jerk a lesson today. Oh, don't worry. Kasie won't see him anymore. He doesn't deserve—"
Before Debbie could finish, Portia gave her such a heavy slap that she could feel color flaming up in her cheek.
Kasie, who was blocked by two bodyguards, heard the slap and turned to look what happened. When she saw Debbie's swollen cheek, she broke herself free, charged forward and yelled at Portia, "Portia Gu, how dare you hit Debbie! You will pay for this!"
Not knowing Debbie's strong backer, Portia gave Kasie a mocking smile and taunted, "Really? I don't think I'll pay for it. Debbie Nian is just a worthless bitch who used to suck up to me and my brother."
Two bodyguards helped Lewis to his feet. As he adjusted his clothes, he scowled at Ralph and demanded, "Tie them up."
Ralph held Debbie's coat with utmost care, aware that it was worth over $300, 000—not something he would wish to compensate for, even if he could afford. All the same, there was no way he could disobey Lewis' orders. So he called on his men, "Hear Mr. Lewis Huo? Do as he says."
Debbie got raving mad when she remembered the last time she was slapped—it was on account of the same Portia.
Before the bodyguards could subdue her and Kasie, Debbie grabbed Portia's wrist tight, giving her such a scare that she screamed like a banshee. Debbie dragged Portia to Lewis. "Mr. Jerk, how dare you cheat on my friend! Look how I'm going to teach this whore a lesson."
Ignoring Portia's screams of terror, Debbie slapped her so hard she saw stars.
Lewis, however, had no intention of stopping Debbie at all. His eyes lit up at the sight of this. It had been a long time since he was last turned on by a woman. He wished he could press Debbie against the wall and give her an S and M right now.
While Portia was still reeling from the shock, Debbie gave her two more slaps. Certain that the men around were not able to save her from Debbie, Portia tried to hit back. Flinging her expensive bag in the hope she'd hit Debbie, she yelled hysterically, "Screw you! I'll kill you!"
But Debbie was too quick and dodged with ease. Seeing that she was no match for Debbie, Portia took out her phone from her bag and dialed a number. "Bring guys who know martial arts to the entrance of Alioth Building. Quick!" she hollered.
Debbie looked on with a derisive smile and casually asked, "Are you done with your phone call? Have your people come?"
"Debbie Nian, just wait and see!"
"Why should I wait? Am I a fool? Anyway, I hope you've learnt not to mess with everyone. But in case you still want us to dance, I'll be more than willing. Try me!" With that, Debbie waved at a young man who was watching the fun in front of a beauty salon. "Hi, handsome."
The man's face blushed scarlet. He was too shy to say a word.
Debbie came up to him and asked politely, "Are you an employee of this salon? Can I borrow something from you?"
"What do you want?" he asked in confusion.
After Debbie whispered in his ear, he got into the salon and before long, came out and handed her something.
Debbie returned to Portia, who was trying to call Hayden. Unfortunately, he was on the plane, and his phone had been switched off.
Portia was instantly alerted upon seeing the thing in Debbie's hand. "What are you going to do?" Her voice was trembling.
"Guess what I'm going to do." Debbie waved the scissors in her hand and gave her a wicked grin. "I'll shave you bald right here!"
Portia's face paled. She covered her head and hid behind Lewis. "Mr. Lewis Huo, help me please."
Lewis himself was no match for Debbie. But he was a man, and he couldn't afford to see a woman being bullied in front of him. He tried to coax Debbie, "Beautiful girl, please. Let her go for my sake. Let's put this matter to rest now, okay? It's not safe to play with sharp objects like you're doing. What if someone gets hurt?"
Lewis was a Playboy, Always too soft, too patient with beautiful women.
Debbie, however, didn't none of that crap. She pointed the scissors to his crotch and threatened, "One second thought, I better cut your dick off. You'll never hurt girls again, after this, I promised."
Lewis went numb at the sight of the menacing woman. Certain that of he tried to resist Debbie, things will turn nasty. he choose to corporate. He drew Portia aside, grabbing both her hands so that she wouldn't move while Debbie clipped her hair. "Don't worry, better the small humiliation of a bald shave than to think we can fight her when we both know what she's capable of."
Portia broke herself free and slapped Lewis across the face. "You are good-for-nothing wimp! Why not call your cousin? He's Mr. Huo! And you are the general manager of ZL Group's New York branch yourself! Why are you so afraid of her? Debbie Nian is just a weak woman. We have so many people here. Ask them to tie her up!"
