Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
“Brother Howard, what’s wrong?”
Jeremy grew curious when he noticed Clarence standing stock-still the moment they walked into the hotel, not moving a muscle.
?
Johnson followed Clarence’s line of sight, and his expression changed a little. “Master Howard, isn’t that your wife?
“Darn! She’s on a date with some other guy?”
Johnson then realized he had said something wrong, so he quickly clapped his hand over his mouth and checked Clarence’s reaction.
The expression on Clarence’s face was dark and ashen.
“What? You’re being cheated on, Brother Howard?” Jeremy insensitively asked, as bluntly as possible.
Johnson retorted, “What are you talking about, you’re spewing nonsense!”
“Ahem ahem! I guess I misunderstood.” Jeremy shrunk his neck back, not sensing that anything was off. According to his logic, Johnson would never have shouted at him like that if he had not gravely misunderstood something.
At that moment, Sheldon got up from his seat, took out a diamond ring from his pocket, and knelt in front of Miranda.
“Miranda, will you marry me?”
“Wow!”
The moment Sheldon got down on one knee, the diners around them roared their approval.
“Marry him!”
“Marry him!”
“Marry him…”
Their voices echoed around the room, some people even snapping pictures with their phones, wanting a memento of the romantic moment.
Veins strained out of Clarence’s head as he walked toward them.
He pushed the crowd members away to make way for himself!
“Clarence, why… why are you here?” Miranda stared at Clarence nervously when she saw him.
“Aren’t you supposed to be at work?
“Here you are, being proposed to, hehe!
“I’m a damn fool, aren’t I? You really think it’s fun making a fool out of me like this, don’t you, Miranda Murphy?” Clarence’s eyes were bloodshot.
Miranda quickly defended herself, “Clarence, listen to me, it’s not what you think it is.”
“Enough.”
Clarence roared, “This is a damn proposal right here! Is this not what I think it is? What else in the world could it be, then?”
His voice reverberated around his skull. He had never been this angry before.
Sheldon stood up and looked at Clarence coldly. “Clarence, I’m Miranda’s soulmate, not you. The two of you should get divorced as soon as you can!”
“Sheldon, what the hell are you talking about?” Miranda screamed.
Sheldon turned his head and looked at Miranda affectionately. “Miranda, you know why I’m doing this. I came back here just for you!”
“Shut your mouth. I have a husband.” Miranda’s body shook as she seethed with anger.
She wanted to meet up with Sheldon to break off all ties with him once and for all.
She had never expected that Sheldon would actually go so far as to propose to her.
What she expected even less was Clarence showing up at the perfectly wrong time.
Now, everything turned out to be a humongous misunderstanding!
However, Clarence had no idea what the truth was!
“I don’t mind, Miranda. I don’t mind that you have a husband already. I love you, marry me, please!” Sheldon got down on his knee once more.
“Whoa!”
“This guy is so lovesick!”
“You’re right! She has a husband already, but he’s still proposing to her! Now that’s really lovesick.”
A few women standing off to the side added more fuel to the fire as they watched the drama unfold before them.
Miranda was about to explode. “Sheldon Clark, you better piss off right now.”
“I think I should be the one to piss off,” Clarence scoffed coldly and turned around.
“Clarence, let me explain…”
A determined look took over Miranda’s face as he prepared to chase after him, but suddenly a hand grabbed her and held her back.
“Let go of me!” Miranda struggled as she shouted at him.
Unfortunately, Sheldon worked out often, so he was no lightweight. A delicate woman like Miranda could never escape his strong clutches.
Now having her in his grasp, Sheldon tried to force a kiss onto her.
“Kiss her!”
“Kiss her!”
The dumb women from earlier began another uproar.
Sheldon was about to press his lips to Miranda’s.
Suddenly, a furious voice rang out, “F*ck you! How dare you touch my Brother Howard’s wife!
“You have a real death wish, don’t you? F*ck off!”
Jeremy was livid. He took the Rolex off his wrist and threw a punch at Sheldon, hitting him square in the forehead.
In that moment of intense pain, Sheldon released his grip on Miranda.
“Clarence!”
After Miranda broke free, she pushed the crowd out of her way and rushed out of the Sheraton, looking for any sign of Clarence. Alas, he was nowhere to be seen!
“Who are you? How dare you punch me?” Sheldon glared fiercely at Jeremy.
Jeremy rushed forward and punched him in the nose another time. “I’m the guy that’s going to teach you a very important lesson today!
“You deserve every hit, you piece of trash!
“How dare you touch Brother Howard’s woman? You really want to die, don’t you?”
“Piss off!”
Sheldon got into a vicious fistfight with Jeremy.
After a few minutes, it became clear that Jeremy was no match for Sheldon, after Jeremy took a few too many hits from the other man.
“Johnson, what the hell are you waiting for? Get him!
“Cover me, I’ll deal with any fallout later!” Jeremy shouted.
“Alright then.”
With that, Johnson rushed forward. He had nothing left to lose after Jeremy had given him the go-ahead.
Johnson was from the ghetto, so he still had the street skills he acquired as a child. He kicked Sheldon in the stomach with full force.
Sheldon felt a wave of intense pain course through his body as he crumpled to the ground, looking like a shrimp.
“Goddamnit, how dare you lay hands on Master Howard’s wife?” Johnson rained down a few more kicks as Sheldon begged for mercy, completely losing his ability to fight.
“I was wrong… please stop hurting me…”
“You think it’s over just because you admit that you’re wrong? Damn you, how dare you even lay eyes on Brother Howard’s woman?
“The punishment should suit the crime, don’t you think so too?”
Jeremy’s angry voice pierced the air. Jeremy was afraid of nothing, so he was even more cold-blooded than Johnson.
Short of murder, no one would dare touch him with his family supporting him.
Jeremy rushed forward and viciously stomped on Sheldon’s groin.
