Chapter 273
"You, how dare you hit me?"
Her chest heaved with anger as she cupped her face with her hand, "You bastard. You're just a
bodyguard, d o you get it? That means you're a servant. How dare you hit me! Even the assistant
commander calls me sister politely when he sees me. Who do you think you are?"
"Yes, I said both of you are working hand in glove to accuse me. So what?"
Slap!
He gave her another slap.
"You..."
Sonia was terrified. She never imagined that the bodyguard in front of her was so daring.
"Uncle, can you please say something? What kind of bodyguard is he? Is he your servant? Since when
servants were allowed to hit their boss?"
Feeling aggrieved, she took a few steps backward.
Tears poured down her cheeks as she looked at James with an aggrieved look.
Her thick makeup was all smudged. She looked like a ghost!
Sonia thought Fane was humiliating the Drake family
for hitting her and James would beat him up.
After all, they were the Drake family and she was part of their family. Fane went overboard this time; Content rights by NôvelDr//ama.Org.
she thought James should at least fire him and chase him out of the house or beat him up.
However, she never expected James to scold her indifferently instead, "Who told you to deny your own
mistake and slander others? You deserve it! Fane is a veteran. He is someone who is willing to shed
his blood and sacrifice his life for the country. He's an upright and respectable man. How could you say
that he's accusing you? I would've hit you too if I was him!"
James was embarrassed. Fane slapped her right in front of him, not giving him an out. That guy was
too reckless.
However, James was a wily old fox. He immediately knew why Fane dared to be so bold. It meant that
Fane had no scruple. He did not give a damn for the Drake family. In that case, his speculation was
confirmed. There was something more behind his identity!
Fane was stunned as well. He was speechless. He felt shy hearing James praising him with so many
commendatory terms.
He could only laugh awkwardly, "Master Drake is indeed the richest man in the Middle Province. You
surely have a wide range of vocabulary!"
Sonia was utterly confused. She did not understand what was going on. Rooted to the spot, she was at
a loss.
She wanted to rage quit so badly. 1
However, she gritted her teeth and told herself to hang in there as the salary was decent and she could
also earn from Ivan's side. Moreover, she could not make impulsive decisions as her boyfriend was
now, jobless.
"Even if I said the wrong thing, it's not right for him to hit me like this, isn't it?"
Sonia was still unhappy. She felt extremely aggrieved.
"Next time, think twice before you speak!"
James replied to her, "Alright, I assume you're not in a good mood today since your boyfriend couldn't
get the job. Take a day off and go back to work tomorrow. Of course, I won't stop you if you want to
quit!"
"Uncle!"
Sonia was speechless. Then, she started to speak in a pettishly charming manner, "I'm so devoted to
the Drake family, it's impossible I would want to quit. I even wanted to help the company to improve and
become stronger. Why not transfer Manager Taylor to another department since I don't get along well
with her?"
James went black for a moment. Then, he said, "What about I transfer you to another department?"
