However, before he could stand up, Christopher Moore grabbed him again and landed a punch on his eye socket.
"Then open your eyes wide and see who's going to kill whom?!"
After punching the left eye, the man swung his other fist, this time hitting the right eye.
"Insult me again, and you'll meet Lord Yan!"
After the last two punches from Christopher Moore, both of Alvin Hargreaves' eyes were immediately red, swollen, and bleeding.
Before he could scream in pain again.
Christopher Moore stomped on his right ankle.
"Ah...
Alvin Hargreaves felt his ankle was going to shatter!
He whimpered through cold sweat, "Let go..."
Christopher Moore gave a cold snort, let go of his right leg, and stomped on his left ankle.
Another "crackling" sound of bones breaking.
"Ah..."
Alvin Hargreaves grimaced in pain, "Christopher Moore...
Christopher Moore smiled bloodthirstily, "This time I'll spare your third leg!"
"If you ever try anything against her again, you'll never be a man!"
As he said this, the man lifted his leg towards Alvin's abdomen.
Alvin Hargreaves was so scared he kept retreating, "No..."
Christopher Moore withdrew his foot just in time, "Alvin Hargreaves, you should be grateful I'm not as vile as you; otherwise, you would have been a eunuch long ago!"
With that, the man pulled out a wet wipe from the coffee table and wiped his hands.
"Also, if you have any issues, take them up with me!"
The man gave him a cold glare, "Going after a woman every day, what kind of man are you?!"
Saying the last sentence, Christopher Moore left!
As he reached the door, he added, "By the way, she and I don't need your blessing!"
"If you meddle with the divorce again, losing hands and legs will be the least of your worries!"
After that, the hospital room door closed, and Alvin Hargreaves didn't even have the strength to call for help.
It wasn't until a nurse came to ask about his lunch order that they found Alvin Hargreaves had passed out from the pain.
After leaving the hospital, Christopher Moore finally took the initiative to call Ruby Mercer.
Ruby Mercer received the call on her way to Ever Prosper.
Ever Prosper is one of Capital City's strongest companies besides Moore Cloud of Christopher Moore.
Since she took over the stalled projects from Hargreaves Group, Ruby Mercer wouldn't let these four projects die in her hands.
Besides, if these projects are done well, they would greatly benefit the future development of the Mercer Group over the next decade.
Thus, these projects were no longer just a matter of divorce with Alvin Hargreaves!
It involved the broader strategy of the Mercer Group.
As for why not seek help from the ready partner Christopher Moore...
It was simply because Ruby Mercer had her pride!
Last time, Christopher had clearly expressed he didn't want to cooperate with their Mercer Group, and Ruby Mercer's innate arrogance wouldn't let her hang herself on Moore's tree.
Furthermore, in essence, Ruby Mercer didn't want to associate with Moore Cloud!
Especially given her current awkward and complicated relationship with Christopher Moore.
Ruby Mercer looked at the caller ID, glanced at her father beside her.
Finally, she declined the call!
Soon, she received a notification tone from WeChat.
[Where are you?]
[Pick up the phone!]
Not even two hours had passed, and their roles had reversed again!
In the morning, she was the humble one!
Now, she finally sat upright!
Ruby Mercer set her phone to silent and put it away in her bag.
Out of sight, out of mind!
After reaching Ever Prosper, Ruby Mercer deliberately left her phone behind without even a glance.
Leopold King watched his boss rage in fury and scratched his nose!
Just as he was thinking about how to comfort his boss, Kenneth Morgan walked over.
"See, when you mess around, you eventually have to pay."
Leopold King blinked, "What do you mean?"
Kenneth Morgan began recounting Ruby Mercer's visit to Christopher Moore that morning, along with Moore's behavior.
In the end, Leopold King had nothing to say!
What else could be said?
It was all his own doing!
At this moment, Christopher Moore kept dialing repeatedly, sending messages over and over.
Agitated, he swept everything off his desk.
Kenneth Morgan glanced at the documents in hand.
Initially planning to get his boss's signature, now he decided against it!
Otherwise, there was no way he'd get out unscathed!
It might even ruin his hard-earned vacation plans.
"See, the prouder he was in front of Miss Mercer before, the humbler and more irritable he is now."
Christopher Moore couldn't get through on the phone, and the messages he sent were like sinking stones; he was furious enough to kill that little woman on the other end.
Just then, Leopold King's phone rang.
Kenneth Morgan noticed Leopold King tightening up and glanced at his caller ID.
Grinning, he prepared to leave, "Good luck!"
Leopold King swallowed nervously, grabbing onto Kenneth Morgan to stop him from leaving.
"Brother Kenneth, do you think I'll get scolded?"
Kenneth Morgan laughed, "I only know that if you don't answer the phone, you might get scolded soon enough!"
Immediately, Leopold King released Kenneth Morgan and answered the call.
"Sir!"
"Where is Ruby Mercer now?"
"Sir, hold on a moment, I'll have her exact location in thirty seconds!"
With that, Leopold King immediately started dialing his team members, "Luckily I'm clever and arranged for someone to follow Miss Mercer early on."
Within half an hour, Christopher Moore's car had already arrived at Ever Prosper's entrance.
Upon seeing the distinctive license plate [EMPEROR 8 8 8 8 8], the security personnel swiftly reported it, and the receptionist ran efficiently in high heels.
Soon, Ever Prosper's CEO, George Baxter, received the news from his secretary.
George Baxter looked at his secretary, "Are you saying Christopher Moore from Moore Cloud is here?"
"I don't recall us having any direct cooperation with Moore Cloud either!"
Also shocked were Ruby Mercer and Derek Mercer.
Derek Mercer glanced at his daughter, who was lost in her own thoughts.
She listened to the approaching sound of leather shoes clicking on the tiles, and her breathing grew more anxious.
Why did he come?
To chase after her?
Later, she dismissed the thought, believing she wasn't significant enough for him to make this personal trip.
Just then, without waiting for the young secretary's response, Christopher Moore's figure appeared at the office door.
George Baxter saw the young and handsome Christopher Moore, immediately stepping forward to greet him, "Mr. Moore, sorry for not welcoming you sooner!"
Christopher Moore shook George Baxter's hand with gentlemanly grace, "Apologies for coming unannounced!"
Saying apologetic words, yet all the while looking completely at ease!
Ruby Mercer silently cursed: Absolutely shameless!
It was as if only now did Christopher Moore notice Ruby Mercer on the side, his eyes fixated on her.
"Am I interrupting your meeting?"
Ruby Mercer clenched her fists.
Are you blind?!
Anyone with sight can see that!
"Mr. Moore, you're not wearing glasses, so you shouldn't have poor vision!"
Christopher Moore paused, his furrowed brow raised.
"Are you saying I interrupted you?"
Instantly, the temperature in the CEO's office dropped several degrees.
This time, it was George Baxter who found himself in a tough spot!
However, as the host, he had no choice but to step in to ease the situation.
"Come, come, Mr. Moore, please have a seat!"
"Miss Mercer, Mr. Mercer, please have a seat too!"
"Johnson, bring over some fresh tea!"
While speaking, George Baxter's gaze kept shifting between Christopher Moore and Ruby Mercer.
He had followed the sensational news earlier about Christopher Moore, Alvin Hargreaves, and Ruby Mercer.
And now, seeing the way Christopher Moore looked at Ruby Mercer.
Something was definitely brewing between these two!
With Christopher Moore's involvement, the negotiations they were having had to be put on hold.
