A Call That Changed Her Entire Life

Chapter 1551 Confrontation

“If you have an appointment with Mr. Ke, please wait in the reception room for a bit. He's still in a meeting right now, but I'll call you as soon as he's finished,“ the secretary uttered with a cheerful smile. Her beauty stunned Bill's henchman and caused him to feel embarrassed. It was as if he had forgotten he was angry in the first place.

“Yes, we have an appointment with him,“ the man confidently replied. Since it was his first time meeting this wonderful woman, he tried his best to come across as a respectable and modest man.

“If that's the case, I'd like to apologize on Mr. Ke's behalf. He is in an important overseas investment conference and can't be disturbed at the moment. But don't worry, he's very professional and never misses an appointment. I assure you that the moment he finishes, he'll come to you as soon as he can,“ the secretary explained while pointing the man in the direction of the reception room. Even though Bill hated waiting, the man didn't want to ruin his first impression on this fine lady. That was why he simply nodded in agreement and left.

The man went back to his group and told everyone that they needed to wait in the reception room first. When they arrived, they were surprised to see that it was just a small office with a few chairs and tables.

Everyone sat down and waited for about an hour. During that time, several of Bill's men grew impatient. They left with the excuse of smoking a cigarette but didn't come back at all.

Two hours later, everyone who remained couldn't help but feel sleepy. They were so bored from staring at the wall and talking with one another.

By the third hour, Bill didn't want to wait anymore. With a disgruntled look on his face, he angrily ordered one of his men to talk to the secretary once again.

“Go and ask Louis if he even wants to meet us or not. We've been very understanding of his busy schedule but I won't be taken for granted. If he doesn't meet us right now, I will never talk to him again.“ Bill was so angry at this point that his blood pressure had started to rise.

The man rushed over to the front desk but his face flushed the moment he laid his eyes upon the secretary a second time. He tried his best to look manly in an attempt to hide his embarrassment. The man conveyed Bill's order and even added that it was urgent, but he was still rejected in the end. When he came back, he tried to make excuses so that Bill wouldn't get angry at the secretary. “She said that Louis is still in a meeting.“

As soon as he said those words, Bill roared in anger. While forming both his hands into fists, he exclaimed, “Louis, what a shameless man you are. I'll make sure you regret treating me like a pushover.“

Filled with rage, Bill and his men stormed past the front desk. Just when they were about to enter Louis' office, more than a dozen security guards came out of nowhere and ordered them to stop. The guards formed a neat line in front of the door, ready to draw their weapons if needed.

“Louis, who do you think you are? You don't know who you're messing with! You young bloods need to learn respect! Don't think these measly guards will scare me. I swear I'll make you kneel in front of me and beg for mercy!“ Bill absolutely lost it and shouted with all his might. He couldn't keep his composure anymore and continued to curse while pointing at the door.

But before he could finish, the glass door in front of him finally opened. A group of employees walked out with stressed-out looks on their faces. It was as if their souls had been sucked out from being in a meeting for so long.

With his eyes half-closed, Louis teased his employees. “Wow, that meeting was so boring that I almost fell asleep. Hey, secretary, find someone else to take my place for these kinds of things. I don't want to

do them anymore.“

The playful look on Louis' face infuriated Bill even more. With his blood at the boiling point, he shouted at him. “Louis! I've been waiting to talk to you for three hours. Since you were so bored with your meeting, how about you square off with one of my men? That should definitely wake you up.“

As soon as Bill was finished shouting, his men tried their best to look intimidating. They puffed out their chests and formed their hands into fists.

“Mr. Liu, I'm sorry, but I don't take business affairs that seriously. To tell you the truth, I really don't want to be a billionaire. But being one is the only way I can get other people to listen to me. That's why I have no choice but to try my best to stay awake in these meetings!“ Louis teasingly replied with a fake smile on his face. It was clear that he was trying to anger Bill even more.

Louis' words were obviously referring to the time when Bill was beaten to within an inch of his life. This made Bill a little wary of what to say next. As a result, he spoke in a soft, calm voice. “Mr. Ke, now that you're finished with that conference, do you want to proceed with our meeting?“

Everything suddenly became civilized and Louis answered him calmly as well. “Yes. I've prepared a special conference room for our meeting. Please, follow me.“

The fact that Louis had even prepared a special meeting place for them gave Bill's men a sense of entitlement. Each of them thought that Louis finally considered them a worthy foe, and the time they had wasted waiting for him was not in vain.

With their egos filled to the brim, Bill's men followed Bill. All of them were excited to see what Louis had in store for them. They took an elevator to the basement floor, but when they arrived at their destination, their jaws dropped in disappointment. They hadn't expected that the special meeting place would just be an empty warehouse of the Ke Group.

Even though it wasn't what they were expecting, Bill's men quickly realized it was a great place to fight in an all-out brawl. There was more than enough space that they could move without worrying about hitting each other. The bigger men in Bill's group couldn't wait to get the fight started.

“Why are we here? Louis, what the hell do you think you're doing?“ Just when Bill was about to open his mouth again, his men started shouting. They couldn't wait anymore to start throwing punches.

Louis had no response and simply stood in front of them in a dashing, debonair pose. Just when he was about to be attacked, more than a dozen security guards equipped with electric batons and tear gas jumped out from behind him. They were so prepared that Louis didn't even need to open his mouth. Just the mere sight of weapons caused Bill's men to shut up. All their arrogance was gone in a single second.

“Louis, is this how you entertain your guests?“ Bill warily asked. He was a man with countless years of experience in these kinds of situations. He immediately realized that his men were in a disadvantageous situation, and they would surely lose if a fight broke out. In order to get out there safely, he knew he had to use his words instead of his fists.

“Oh, do you not like my surprise? I have this belief that I have to entertain my guests the way they want. For example, if I had distinguished guests from abroad, I would've prepared a five-star hotel for them. But since you're all ruffians, I thought this would be more up your alley.“

Realizing that a fight was bound to happen, Bill's men cracked their knuckles and stretched their arms. All of them donned a hostile look on their faces and tried their best to look tough. But the truth was, everyone was just pretending. All of them were frightened to death and didn't want to go up against electric batons.

“Louis, even though you've trashed my place countless times, I still treat you nicely out of respect for Hunk. I thought I was here for business but you deliberately humiliate me in front of my men. Why are

you doing this to me? What did I even do to offend you?“ Bill's words were all in an attempt to prevent any trouble, but his disciples were too arrogant to realize that. Content from NôvelDr(a)ma.Org.

Looking straight at Bill's eyes, Louis casually answered him with a smirk on his face. “You do things that harm innocent people. Your very existence is a hindrance to a peaceful way of life. I think that's more than enough reason for my actions, Bill.“

“You weren't even affected by my actions!“ Bill fiercely exclaimed in response while his face turned red from anger.

“Well then, do you really think you're qualified to be in business with a world-class firm like my company? I'm sorry to say this, but dirty old men like you are only fit to live in dark alleys and dirty sewers, just like rats. Taking that into consideration, I think I've been more than polite to you,“ Louis answered in a frigid, cold-hearted voice.

Bill's right hand man couldn't accept that his boss was being talked down to. As a result, he ran towards Louis at full speed to shut him up. Unfortunately for him, he was struck by Louis' bodyguard with an electric baton when he was about three meters from him. He was instantly electrocuted, which made him fall to the ground.

“I'm sorry about that. I honestly don't want to hurt your men, but if someone wants to hurt me, I can't let that happen,“ Louis uttered in the most arrogant voice he could muster.

Just when Bill's men thought that one of their own was badly injured, the security guard was kind enough to explain his injuries. “Don't worry about him, he just passed out from the electric shock. I'm sure he'll wake up soon enough. If he has any health problems, we can go to the police station to report this incident, and then go to the hospital to have a physical examination.“

The guards were acting in such a weird way towards an enemy that Bill's men were left dumbfounded and scratching their heads in confusion. 'Why did he say that? Why would we even go to the police

station?' they wondered.

Right at that moment, Bill could literally feel his blood boil. But even though he was pissed off, he knew he was no match for Louis. In his mind, offending him would surely guarantee his defeat. With that in mind, he tried his best to remain calm, and continue talking his way out of trouble. “Mr. Ke, I'm asking you for the last time. What did I do to offend you?“
