The Kiss that Sparked it All novel Chapter 639

The man was in so much pain that tears started streaming down his face. "Ouch! Sir, you're about to break my arm. What are you doing? Let go of me! Didn't I already give you the pretty girl? Why are you still holding on to me?"

Balfour replied calmly, "What did you just say?"

The sleazy man shifted his eyes nervously, "I... I didn't say anything about you..."

Balfour didn't say anything and just tightened his grip.

The man yelped in pain, begging for mercy, "I was wrong! I was wrong... I'm sorry; I shouldn't have said such things... I shouldn't have disrespected women... The one who should be reprimanded is me... I'm so shameless."

Balfour tossed him onto the elevator floor, casually stepping on his arm, which was met with a crisp sound.

Then he looked down at the man and said, "You need to respect others when you speak, and what you just did was harassment."

With that, he disdainfully shook his hand and walked out of the elevator.

Quinton followed closely.

Ellinor also followed behind Quinton, stepping over the man's broken arm and out of the elevator.

The man struggled to get up from the elevator floor, cradling his immobile arm, his face streaked with tears. His initial confidence and frivolity were gone, replaced by a pitiful appearance.

...

Outside the hotel lobby, Ellinor caught up with Balfour and said politely, "Thank you for stepping in earlier."

Balfour glanced at her, "You're overthinking it; I just couldn't stand seeing someone misbehaving in public."

He hoped that Ms. Mendoza was really just here to visit a sick friend and not for any other reasons.

After Ellinor left in the taxi, Quinton came up and asked with concern, "Mr. Howard, you used a lot of force on that man; is your arm okay?"

Balfour had recently broken his arm in a fight with Theo and it wasn't fully healed yet. He had temporarily removed the cast to inspect some important projects.

In his encounter with the bully, he had used that arm, and he wondered if it would worsen his injury.

"I'm fine." Balfour replied, not seeming to be bothered by it. But as he moved his arm, his brows furrowed from the pain.

It hurt a lot.

He didn't understand why he had gotten involved in Ellinor's business. But strangely, it felt like an instinct. He just couldn't stand seeing her being bullied.
