Chapter 290
Cordy promptly pulled Dicky out of harm's way, refusing to let her son get hurt.
Adam laughed coldly before snapping viciously at the boy, "Your mom’s a liar! Do you really think that
John Levine, the heir to the richest family in North City, is your father? Why don't you look yourself in
the mirror or see how slutty your mom looks! You really think John Levine would tap that and have
you? Dream on!"
"John Levine is my-"
"That's enough! Don't waste your time with them," Eva said, losing patience. "Jerry's next event is
coming up."
Adam agreed, and started to threaten Cordy again. "Last chance! Are you going to do it or not?"
"No!" Cordy refused, not budging an inch.
"So we're doing this the hard way, huh?" The man's face contorted with horrific intent, and he raised his
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtpudgy hand, aiming it squarely on Cordy's face.
Cordy gritted her teeth-she had already bought as much time as she could.
There was no way she and Dicky could get out with so many people encircling them. Even if she could
wrestle against them, she might end up hurting Dicky in the process.
Hence, she simply watched as Adam's palm swung towards her.
At the very moment Adam's palm almost reached her face, Cordy saw a large hand catch Adam's wrist
abruptly, holding his hand in place and stopping him.
Adam glowered at the hand that held him with a vice-grip and turned angrily, looking savage as he saw
the other man.
After a brief moment of surprise, however, panic immediately colored his face.
Before he could say a word, John pushed him off, sending him stumbling backwards by several paces.
However, John didn’t even look at him as he turned towards Cordy, asking softly, "Was he bullying
you?"
Cordy nodded. "His son was bullying Dicky."
There was a cold flash in John's eyes, and he crouched to look at Dicky, whose face was covered with
filth.
"Daddy," Dicky greeted him, loudly and clearly.
And that left Adam with a creeping chill in his heart.
He certainly knew who John was; even if they never met before, he had worked with subsidiaries of
Levine Ventures on one of his construction projects. In fact, he was relatively famous as a principal
contractor in North City, having worked on various megaprojects; he was a typical parvenu who had
done better than most of his peers.
Getting rich meant he also grew conceited, and he grew to believe that any problem that can be
resolved with money was no problem at all.
Naturally, when he realized he had stepped on John's toes, his brain fried right there and then.
On the other hand, Eva didn't recognize John immediately. Still, she could tell that Adam looked like his
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmsoul just left him, and quickly asked, "What's gotten into you, dear?"
Adam still couldn't say a word, even as Dickly complained loudly and angrily, "Daddy, they were
bullying mommy and were going to hit her. They also called me a b*st*rd and said that you'd never like
mommy, and that you wouldn’t have a kid with mommy."
"His son beat me up because I won the swimming event, and he also threatened me to let him win in
other events. I said no, so he put a trash can over my head and told me his father would bankrupt us!"
John's glare turned horrific right then.
Jessica had never seen him so furious, even though she spent years hovering around him.
They had left earlier, and Jessica knew that was because John wanted to let Cordy spend time with
Dicky. After waiting for a long while and seeing that neither of them were coming out, John promptly
made a dash to the dressing room; he was so quick Jessica almost couldn't keep up.
He looked deathly worried that something would happen to Dicky and Cordy, and his concern was
there for all to see.
