Kenny was so pissed off that he almost hit him again. If Ava hadn''t stopped him, he might have pummeled ke so badly that he''d need another surgery When ke found out that Herman was the one who beat him up, he was scared shitless. They were both rich kids, but the gap between them was enormous.


    ke was a party animal, while Herman was a standalone leader. He had spent three years turning Elysian Technologies into a top dog in the industry Herman''s ruthlessness was legendary in their circle. So, when these rich kids saw him, they''d automatically steer clear Though they seemed to be in the same circle, they werent on the same level anymore


    "No way. I didn''t hear that Herman got hitched. Who''s the luckydy?"


    ke was kicking himself. He shouldn''t have messed with Herman''s woman. It was like poking a bear.


    "Who knows what goes on in Herman''s head? Maybe he just wants a quiet life with his wife"


    Kenny said, "Shielding your wife from all the outside interference is not something just anyone can do. Tomorrow, you''reing with me to apologize to Herman''s wife. If she doesn''t forgive us, the Ledford family is toast"


    Word spread about ke getting his ass handed to him at Eclipse Lounge.


    Now the whole circle was buzzing about who had the guts to send ke to the hospital.


    There were quite a few people in the circle who had been bullied by ke. Seeing him get a taste of his own medicine made them happy, but they also felt sorry for whoever punched him.


    Whoever had the balls to hit ke wouldn''t get away with it.


    The incident was a big deal, and the news spread fast. Selena heard about it too.


    When Selena found out that Anastasia had caused trouble and beat up ke, she was also a bit scared. But she thought, what did this have to do with me?


    How could a newbie bepared to her, the chief designer?


    She had sent Anastasia to find Everlee, not to get into a fight with ke.


    Thinking about this made Selena feel much better. This time, thepany would surely fire Anastasia. She had caused such a big loss for thepany. As a mere assistant, Selena didn''t believe thepany would keep her around. Anastasia was also worried about losing her job.


    It was already 2 am, and Herman hadnte back. Anastasia was on pins and needles, no matter how Katelyn tried to soothe her.


    After Lauren managed to shake off those people, she heard about what happened and called Anastasia.


    "Anastasia, are you okay?" Lauren asked worriedly on the phone. Those guys stole my phone, and I was locked in a room. I just got out. I heard something happened. Are you okay?"


    "I''m fine, Lauren, Thank you"


    Anastasia was really grateful. Even in such a situation, Lauren had chosen to protect her. Even though Lauren had been taken away, Anastasia remembered her kindness.


    "I''m d you''re okay" Lauren sighed in relief. I heard ke is in the hospital with serious injuries, and the people at Eclipse Lounge are looking for the


    Lounge person who hit him. Do you know who it was?"


    Anastasia didn''t say it was Herman. She couldn''t betray Herman. She just said, "Lauren, I''m sorry, I can''t tell you."


    Lauren said, "I understand. Whoever it is, you''d better tell him toy low. If ke finds him, there could be serious consequences."


    Thanks for the heads-up."


    After hanging up, Anastasia was very worried, "Will Herman be arrested?"


    Katelynughed, Ana, don''t worry. Herman will be back soon, don''t stress out."


    Just as she finished speaking, the door opened, and in walked Herman


    Katelyn said. See, I told you he''d be back shortly. Herman, now that you''re back, I''ll leave you two alone"


    Katelyn wisely gave them some space.
