Moon Lovers: Bound by Blood and Revenge

Ronan and Natasha tried to maintain their cool, not allowing themselves to be intimidated by Marceline's overbearing aura.

On the other hand, the three men cowered in fear while looking at the duo. Marceline's deathly glare was enough to send chills down their spines while Kira's mocking smile reminded them of how they got beaten up today.

"Cousin, maybe you have misunderstood something here. I think we are here because someone just ran wild, beating people for no valid reason." Natasha was the one who dared to speak up, correcting Marceline.

Ronan chose to remain quiet as he didn't want to look biased. Although, he already set his mind on supporting his daughter's claim, making Marceline take responsibility for her bodyguard's aggressive behavior. He would pretend to hear both sides but he already decided whom they should punish.

Kira sneered as he already read Ronan's mind. He moved closer to Marceline, leaning over to whisper something.

Marceline's eyebrows twitched and her lips already formed a thin line, indicating that she was already displeased.

Having someone by your side who could read people's minds was very convenient and advantageous for her. Now, she appreciated Kira's power more.

"The CCTV recorded the incident. My daughter also witnessed it. After visiting the hospital, these three men already got their medical records for the injury inflicted on them by your bodyguard. Now I want to hear your side. Why did your bodyguard do it?" Ronan questioned Marceline.

The three men looked at their CEO and Finance Director as if they were their angels who would save them from this evil Witch.

"Dad already told you several times to hire your bodyguard from Triple W Security Agency. At least, their bodyguards are well-trained and know the proper conduct, not just a pretty face," Natasha chimed in, not waiting for Marceline to respond.

Ronan and Natasha exchanged meaningful glances with one another. It was a good thing she brought up the Triple W.

Ronan had been urging Marceline to hire her bodyguard from Triple W so that he could ask Cedric's people to monitor her every move. But Marceline was so stubborn. She refused to do it, saying she hated being watched by bodyguards.

Surprisingly today, she brought her newly hired bodyguard, making Ronan wonder what she was planning. He thought she hated bodyguards but now, she hired her own personal bodyguard whom they didn't know what security agency he came from.

"Director, I think you should heed to their suggestions. You should fire your bodyguard! He will cause you more trouble in the future. I am planning to sue him for the assault. Now, I have a broken nose." The program manager found the courage to speak up because he knew Natasha and Ronan would back him up.

"I got four broken ribs!" The finance staff also joined the conversation.

"I will ask for compensation to settle this!"

All eyes were on Marceline, waiting for her response. They wondered what she should do now as they got concrete evidence for this assault. They thought there's no way she could protect and defend her bodyguard.

Once again, Kira leaned over and whispered, "Boss Lin, do you want me to use my power to fix this? Just say the word and I will do it."

Marceline's lips tugged upward into a devilish smile before giving Kira an instruction. Ronan, Natasha, and others were annoyed seeing the two of them exchanging messages to each other that only the two of them could hear. 𝑓re𝘦𝔀𝗲𝘣𝘯𝘰νℯ𝒍.c𝗼ｍ

Kira nodded before leaving the office. The three men reacted and complained when Kira left just like that.

"Where is he going?"

"He should apologize to us first!"

"Marceline, what is the meaning of this? Speak up and explain!" Ronan demanded sternly.

Marceline strode toward them. She stopped upon reaching the three men. Natasha and Ronan were watching her confusedly. What happened next in that office surprised everyone to the core.

Marceline raised her hand, slapping each one of them. The loud smacking sound of a palm hitting their faces reverberated in the room.

Natasha gasped while Ronan's eyes bulged out as they didn't expect Marceline to do that.

"I hit you so you can try and sue me. I can pay the compensation. But before anything else, I want you to know that… You. Are. All. Fired!" Marceline emphasized her last four words.

"If you have complaints then go ask my grandfather, the Chairman. I will just tell him how you disrespect me. You sick perverts! Scram!"

Three men: "..."

This was not the result they expected. They wanted the bodyguard to be fired, not them! And how come Marceline knew that they talked about her? Did the bodyguard overhear them? But he was not there when they were talking about Marceline.

"Oh, by the way, Natasha… these three men were talking about spending the night with you as well. My bodyguard overheard them. So if you want to support and defend these perverts, then suit yourself." Marceline smiled at her mockingly.

"What??!" Natasha glared at the three men. Ronan's expression also darkened.

Everyone inside didn't notice that they already had some company there who witnessed Marceline's boldness.

His eyes were sparkling with admiration. He liked Marceline's fierce attitude, including her guts.

"CEO Zhou, I think you should listen to this brave lady. Disrespecting a woman is so unmanly. I hate those men. The lady's decision is right. You should fire them." A baritone voice of a man was heard from the entrance door.

Everyone tossed a look in his direction. Natasha's eyes glowed in excitement upon seeing the man while Ronan was surprised to see him. On the other hand, Marceline just stared at him with a blank expression.

"Cedric Morgan…" Ronan mumbled his name.

'Cedric!' Natasha screamed his name in her mind as she looked at him with her fluttering eyes.

But Cedric didn't pay attention to Natasha. His eyes were fixed on Marceline's lovely face, giving her an enigmatic smile. "Sorry for the intrusion. The door is open so I entered without asking permission. I didn't mean to witness all of this."
