Chapter 8 How Can You Beat My Woman As You Like

"How can you beat my woman as you like?"

Although Tim said that inadvertently, it could be still observed from his expression that he was slightly angry about that.

And then he pushed away Shirley's hand without using any strength.

"Your...woman?"

Shirley's angry face turned to be pale, "Tim, how can you trust this little whore? She is just released from prison..."

"Shirley, shut up!"

Seeing that things did not process in the way they wanted, George hurried himself to let Shirley stand aside.

And George put on a flattering face, "Sorry, Tim! What happened just now...is just a misunderstanding..."

While he said this, he gave Shirley a secret glance hinting that she should not speak anymore.

Smart as George was, he realized the fact in a short time that Joanna knew Tim.

Although George didn't know what the relationship between Tim and Joanna was, George could tell from Tim's expression that Tim wanted to help Joanna.

Anyway, George could not offend Tim as well as The Howards Group because of Joanna.

After all, T&K Group had been relying on the Howards' business to develop well these years.

And George smiled even more brightly. He stepped forward and took Joanna's hands, "Joanna, I mistook your meaning. Don't blame your..."

And Joanna got her hands back emotionlessly before George finished his speech.

"Give me what belongs to my mother." She said resolutely.

George's expression stiffed for a while before it turned to be the "you-are-finding-trouble" look, "Joanna, actually, your mother..."

"She didn't leave anything at all!"

Shirley suddenly jumped from the ground, "We have dug over the shabby house you lived..."

"Shut Up!"

Unable to stop Shirley from saying that, George slapped her in her face directly.

Although Shirley's eyes glowed with anger because she was slapped, Shirley didn't say anything as Tim was there.

"When I got the news, your mother had died already and left no words. Indeed, she didn't leave you anything." George said so as if he was helpless too.

Joanna clenched her fists tightly and knew that she couldn't take all things back in one day. But she had to take away what her mother left.

However, it was clear that George did not want to give her anything.

"Does that mean my woman will get nothing today and was beaten without any compensation?"

When Joanna was about to add something, Tim suddenly said these words slowly.

George was scared to hear Tim said so. Although Tim said that in a normal tone, George still sensed the warning in it.

"No...Tim, that is a misunderstanding..."

Yet Tim only focused his eyes on Joanna and gently continued his words, "I cannot be too impolite as it is the first time I come to the Browns. But you can be wronged for nothing. Here are your choices: take the things you want or beat them? You can choose now."

It was obvious that he wanted to help Joanna by taking things back or beating those men.

Yet Tim said that in a way as if he was friendly to the Browns.

Now George was in an awkward position and did not know how to justify himself.

When George saw the hate in Joanna's eyes, he turned around and scolded Shirley, "Why are you still there? Go and give Joanna what she wants!"

Shirley was also terrified at Tim's words. After all, she was the one who hit Joanna most. If Joanna did not get what she wanted, Shirley would be the one who bore the punishment.

"I...I will fetch it for you immediately."
