The Billionaire CEO Wants to Marry Me Every Day-Chapter 554: Heartbeat Stopped
Damian Knight heard this, his eyes narrowed as he coldly glanced at the man.
His black eyes seemed to be shrouded in mist, a sudden flash of cold light sending shivers down one’s spine.
The man’s heart skipped a beat, his arrogance seemed to be extinguished by water, not daring to make a sound anymore.
This was the suppression of aura.
Summer Monroe had learned a lot about micro-expressions from the Williams couple. She stood by silently observing the elderly woman and this man.
The anger and sadness on the elderly woman’s face were genuine, but this man... upon seeing Damian Knight, there was a trace of delight in his eyes.
And when Damian Knight met the man’s gaze, Summer Monroe clearly captured a guilty conscience.
Guilty conscience? What is he guilty about?
Delight? What is he delighted about?
Other than guilt and delight, Summer Monroe did not find any feelings similar to the elderly woman’s worry and concern on the man’s face.
She vaguely captured a trace of something, just unable to confirm it yet.
The elderly woman saw her eldest son silent, feeling more enraged.
Once again, she reached out to hit Damian Knight, cursing, "Do you think money makes you formidable? I want my son back, give me back my son!"
This time, Damian Knight did not plan to stop the elderly woman. Her son was in an emergency after eating from his store, anyone would be angry.
However, just as the elderly woman’s fist was about to hit Damian Knight’s face, a slender yet strong hand suddenly reached out, tightly gripping the elderly woman’s hand.
Damian Knight glanced sideways, only to see Summer Monroe’s cold expression, a protective look on her face.
Warmth filled his heart, and he spoke, "Summer, it’s alright, let her hit."
How much strength could an elderly woman have?
If hitting him could stabilize her emotions a little, then let her do it.
However, Summer Monroe didn’t listen to Damian Knight. She firmly grasped the elderly woman’s hand and coldly said, "Auntie, your son isn’t dead yet, and things haven’t been clearly investigated. Isn’t it excessive to hold people responsible and start hitting?"
The elderly woman furrowed her brows in anger and replied, "My son ate his store’s food and fainted before even leaving the store. If it’s not his store’s fault, then what is?!"
The man behind the elderly woman also spoke up. He was frightened by Damian Knight but would he be scared by a flashy, oddly-dressed young girl?
"What does our business have to do with a little yellow-haired girl like you? My brother was harmed by him, he has to pay!"
"Compensation?" Summer Monroe elongated her tone, asking with a smile, "Alright, how much do you want?"
The man was startled, then his eyes gleamed with a hint of joy as he reported a number: "Ten million! Not a penny less!"
"Ten million?" Summer Monroe raised an eyebrow, "That’s enough to buy a life. Does that mean if your brother dies, ten million in compensation would suffice?"
The man hesitated for a moment before speaking, "If my brother really dies... besides ten million, you must permanently close your coffee shop!"
Summer Monroe nodded thoughtfully and asked, "If he doesn’t die, does that mean you don’t want a penny?"
"He..." the man paused for two seconds.
It was in this moment that Summer Monroe saw the man’s hesitation.
This was enough to prove that, in this man’s eyes, ten million was far more important than his brother’s life.
"Rest assured!" Summer Monroe said, "Your brother won’t die, and we will investigate the cause of your brother’s incident."
However, just as Summer Monroe finished speaking, the door to the VIP emergency room suddenly opened.
"Are the family members here? The patient’s heart has stopped. Please prepare yourselves mentally."
