[Chapter 46]
Wasn't that the celebrity Marie Kent?
A few days ago, he heard Mr. Gomez say that he wanted to ask Marie to play the supporting female lead i in his movie and have Tara as the female lead. However, Tara rejected him.
David did not think that he would see this celebrity so soon.
However, she was not as bright and beautiful as she was on television.
Her left cheek was slightly red and swollen. It might be from the slap just now, which David could even hear from where he was seated.
David liked Marie back then. She was in a lot of television shows and movies, and she was regarded as the Geek Conqueror.
Back then, David was one of these fans.
Looking at the goddess whom he used to worship right now, David was not that interested anymore.
Indeed, the goddesses who looked so beautiful and cool to the paupers were just playthings to those bigshots.
She was taken advantage of, slapped, and she still had to follow behind him obediently.
Unbeknownst to him, right now, David was also a big shot in the eyes of others.
Marie lifted her left hand to touch her slightly red and swollen face as she sobbed softly.
She felt aggrieved. Just now, that man touched her bottom and chest. She was only trying to stop him, but she was slapped.
However, she did not dare to leave because her agent told her that if she infuriated these men, her future would be ruined.
Not only would she be finished, but the company behind her would also be finished.
Thus, she could only stay here and see whether she could quell his temper.
"John, can you stop this?" Hugh said with his eyebrows furrowed.
"Greene, stay out of this. I only touched her a few times and she's pretending to be so innocent. Listen, Marie, if you don't wash up and wait for me tonight, I'll ruin your reputation tomorrow!"
"I'm sorry, Mr. York," Marie said softly.
"Sorry? What the hell can I do with sorry? Wash up and wait for me tonight, do you hear me?"
"I'm sorry, Mr. York."
"I asked you if you f*cking heard me?"
"Mr. York,"
"Do you want to be f*cking beat up?"
After John said that, he stood up and slapped Marie again.
Marie was scared stupid, so she did not dare to move.
However, this final slap did not land on Marie's face.
David, who was sitting at one side, could not watch this anymore. She used to be the goddess he worshiped, so he could not watch as she was slapped in front of him.
So, he stood in front of Marie and used his hand to stop John's slap.
John was also stunned. He did not think that someone would dare to stop him.
"Who the f*ck are you, kid? How dare you interfere? Are you tired of living?" "Your name is John, right? How can you slap women? Are you still a man?" When the two of them were about to fight, Hugh quickly stood between them and said, "John, Dave, we're family, don't do anything impulsive!"
'Who the f*ck wants to be family with him? Do I even know him?" John asked disdainfully.
At this moment, someone whispered into John's ear.
John's unpleasant expression from a second ago was now replaced with a huge grin. "Oh, it's Dave! I'm so sorry. Of course, we're family. Since you have your eyes on this chick, then I'll give her to you," John said generously. Just now, someone told him that David spent 11 billion to forcefully upgrade from a normal member to a high-tier member.
John was just a middle-tier member, and a high-tier member was one tier higher than him.
Plus, David directly spent 11 billion to upgrade his tier. SCC had been founded so many years ago, but this had never happened.
However, two people did spend 1 billion to upgrade to the middle-tier.
How much money did he have since he dared to spend so much money to upgrade his tier? This level of wealth was no longer comparable to the upstarts. David was definitely from a super-wealthy family which John could not afford to offend.
Since John was starting to admit defeat, David did not pursue the matter anymore.
Everyone sat down and started chatting. However, they were all here for David because they wanted to have a good relationship with him.
Meanwhile, Marie just stood behind him the whole time.
