The surrounding onlookers erupted in exclamations, taken aback by the unexpected altercation. The beauty who had approached me moments ago let out a scream of fear, retreating hastily to distance herself from the commotion.
I detected a metallic scent of blood lingering near my lips, as if my mouth had been cut and was now bleeding.
As I Lifted my head, my vision cleared, revealing that it was Zoe who had delivered the unexpected punch.
“Caleb, you despicable bastard! You had someone follow and eavesdrop on me! Shame on you!”
Zoe’s anger blazed within her as she locked eyes with me, her gaze wide open, reflecting the intensity of her fury.
A N G E L A ‘s L I B R A R Y
I hadn’t anticipated that she would discover my actions so quickly.
Having just received a slap from Debra and now being unexpectedly punched by Zoe, my mood plummeted even further, sinking into a deeper state of distress and frustration.
I sneered, my voice laced with coldness. “Zoe, you were aware that
Harlan has a child, yet you still insisted on engaging in a so-called fair competition with Debra. Don’t you find it utterly absurd?”
Zoe’s anger reached such a boiling point that her face flushed red with fury. Growling with anger, she retorted, “You despicable bastard, what do you even know? What gives you the right to speak to me like that?”
In a fit of rage, she charged to me, determined to deliver another blow.
However, I was prepared and swiftly blocked her incoming punch, intercepting her attempt to strike me once again
Despite Zoe’s formidable strength, it proved to be no match for me. I effortlessly withstood her force, realizing that her power was insufficient to overpower me. With ease, I successfully intercepted and blocked Zoe’s powerful attack, neutralizing her attempt to harm me.
Apart from Zoe, no one else present was aware that what should have been a fierce and protracted battle had come to an abrupt and silent conclusion.
“How could it be? You..
Zoe’s initial surprise at my strength quickly transformed into doubt her angry expression giving way to confusion and disbelief. She glanced at her own hand, questioning and bewildered by the outcome of our encounter.
“Caleb, who are you really?”
Zoe’s tone shifted to one of heightened alertness. It appeared that she had recognized my true identity as the Alpha, and her expression became guarded and vigilant.
Instead of answering her question, I responded in a cold tone, “I do not engage in violence against women. Leave now.”
“I won’t ask you again.” Zoe spoke in an expressionless manner, her voice devoid of any discernible emotion.
Despite being no match for me in strength, Zoe retained her characteristic arrogance, refusing to be humbled by the situation
In an attempt to divert Zoe’s attention, Carlos let out a whistle, hoping to draw her focus away from the tense situation at hand.
“Zoe, despite your beauty, your temper is extremely volatile. How can
Harlan continue to be with you if you don’t work on changing it?”
Zoe’s face darkened, and her eyes grew cold, reflecting her displeasure and perhaps a hint of resentment. As she shifted her gaze to Carlos, her eyes became piercing, sharp like blades.
