Chapter 493 - Stop Immediately
Grace was extremely anxious as she tugged the corner of Lucas's shirt with a pale expression on her face.
Cleve narrowed his eyes. "Punk, you've got some nerve! But on account of your girlfriend, I'll let you off for now. Get lost immediately!"
Lucas's eyes lit up, and he pretended to be happy. "Thank you so much, Cleve. We'll leave now."
Then he pulled Grace and walked toward the entrance of the restaurant.
But the two of them had just taken a few steps when they were stopped by Cleve, who had flown into a rage, and his underlings.
"Stop!" Cleve roared in fury. "Punk, are you an idiot, or are you deliberately pretending to be stupid in front of me? I told you to get lost and leave the woman behind! If not for your girlfriend's sake, I would have broken both of your legs by now!"
Then he looked at Grace threateningly. "Babe, a woman like you should find a man who can protect you. This punk next to you can't protect you at all. If you stay with him, you're going to suffer all the time. So you might as well be with someone else sooner!
"If you follow me, I guarantee that you'll live in luxury, and you won't have to be a waitress here anymore. How about it? You just need to sleep with me. Hahaha!"
Cleve squinted and looked at Grace lewdly with a fiery gaze.
Grace was infuriated. "You… you're shameless!"
Cleve laughed out loud. "Hehe, I like how aggressive you are when scolding others. Hahaha!"
A trace of icy cold murderous intent appeared in Lucas's eyes.
He regarded Grace as a friend, and she was also the savior of his daughter. Now that she was being insulted by this insolent man in front of them, Lucas really felt an urge to kill him. Based on the way Cleve is behaving, he must have done such things countless times in the past. Such scumbags deserve to die!
"You're just a gangster, but you're quite boastful, huh? Who are you to do that?" Lucas sneered mercilessly with contempt.
Cleve's arrogant expression stiffened, and he immediately stopped guffawing.
No one had ever dared to say something like this in front of him!
The chubby manager snickered in joy. "Bastard, how dare you say that to Cleve? It seems that you definitely won't be able to leave here alive today!"
He was extremely aggrieved when Cleve told this punk to get lost just now because he had been bullied by Lucas, yet Cleve didn't speak up for him and even planned on letting this bastard leave. In that case, wouldn't all his grievances be for nothing?
But when he thought about how brazen Lucas was to contradict Cleve, he thought that Lucas was definitely dead meat!
Cleve's face was gloomy.
He had been working for the Sawyers for so many years and often leveraged their power and authority, so he had never been insulted like this before!
He swore that he had to kill Lucas!
"Punk, you must have a death wish. In that case, I'll be kind and fulfill your wish! I'll definitely crush all your bones and make you suffer endlessly. I'll make you regret what you've said today!
"Hmph, didn't you say that I'm not worthy of having your woman? I'm going to have her and show you how I toy with your woman!"
With a twisted and menacing expression, Cleve started ogling at Grace even more unscrupulously. If not for the fact that this was a public place and the Sawyers' restaurant, he would have gotten intimate with Grace on the spot!
"To hell with that!" Lucas roared furiously with murderous intent in his eyes, no longer able to stand Grace being humiliated by this scumbag.
"Damn it. Punk, do you dare to fight?"
"Cleve, just let us go cripple this punk and teach him how to speak to you!"
"We'll beat the shit out of him! This punk doesn't know where he stands at all! Let us bros break his bones!"
The burly men under Cleve all began to yell arrogantly.
Cleve was just as furious. He swung his hand forward and shouted, "Go! Break his limbs and make him get on his knees to beg me!"
"Yes, Cleve!" The muscular men chorused in unison, clenched their fists impatiently, and rushed at Lucas.
Grace's face immediately turned pale.
She knew that these people were all Cleve's capable subordinates, and they were all much more brawny than Lucas. Moreover, they were all ruthless gangsters, so Lucas would definitely be in danger under their siege!
Sitting at the side, Gisele immediately had a trace of excitement and expectation.
She had long been waiting to see Lucas get beaten up!
She even stood up to find the best view as she waited for Lucas to be beaten up.
"Stop!"
The moment both sides were about to start fighting, a sudden violent shout rang out from the entrance of the restaurant.
A trace of displeasure surged in Cleve's heart, but he immediately realized who the voice belonged to. He shuddered and roared, "Stop! All of you, stop! Didn't you hear me? No one is to move again!"
After stopping his underlings, Cleve immediately put a smile on his face and scurried toward the angry middle-aged man standing at the entrance. He nodded and greeted the middle-aged man. "Mr. Sawyer, why are you suddenly here?"
He was now feeling extremely anxious and flustered.
Ethan had already warned him several times to keep a low profile and not get physical at every turn like before unless as a last resort.
Cleve had given Ethan his promise and also behaved well in front of him. But now, Ethan chanced upon him trying to hit someone in the Sawyer's restaurant!
The only thing he was thankful for was that he had yet to hit anyone himself.
He decided to tell Ethan that Lucas had been causing trouble, so he sent his subordinates to take Lucas down in hopes that Ethan would let him off.
Just as Cleve was coming up with an excuse to complain to Ethan about, Ethan didn't even look at him and walked straight toward Lucas.
Afterward, Cleve watched as Ethan walked up to Lucas and suddenly bent forward respectfully. "Mr. Gray, sorry to have kept you waiting! I haven't been strict enough with my subordinates! I'm really sorry that he has offended you!"
"What?!" Cleve's eyes were about to fall out!
All the people in the lobby on the first floor of the Lion Restaurant were astonished and fell silent.
There was instantly dead silence in the lobby!
