Out of Control: Into Your Everything-Chapter 58: Humiliation

The silence grows increasingly intense.

No one present could even comprehend what had transpired in those few seconds just now.

After all, who would have thought that someone would not only dare to strike The Fords’ Second Son on the head but also dare to splash water on Julian Ford’s face?

This was practically courting death!

Scarlett Shaw’s hand trembled slightly, but she was more composed than she expected.

The inexplicable distress that had suffocated her throughout the night was finally alleviated.

She glanced around; all the possible exits were blocked by security guards, leaving no way to escape.

In this godforsaken place, running out now would mean freezing to death.

Scarlett Shaw took a deep breath, casually tossed the remaining half of the wine bottle on the ground, and stood her ground, silent.

Mr. Sutton looked at Ryan Ford, "The Fords’ Second Son, should we deal with her?"

Ryan Ford’s gaze was as sharp as a blade, standing in front of Scarlett Shaw, "She’s mine, dare you touch her and see what happens."

Scarlett Shaw didn’t know, but everyone present who knew Mr. Sutton had witnessed his methods.

Causing a scene on his turf without leaving something valuable behind meant escaping was impossible.

If you had money, you’d pay; if not, you’d trade a life. As for women—

The outcome was predictable.

Especially now, from Mr. Sutton’s perspective, Scarlett Shaw had also offended Julian Ford.

Ryan Ford and Julian Ford were brothers, but everyone in the circle knew Ryan wasn’t valued by the Ford family.

Everything in the Ford family would belong to Julian Ford in the future.

This man truly occupied a high position, someone who must not be offended.

Julian Ford’s unpredictable mood tonight was already evident when playing cards; even if Scarlett was brought by The Fords’ Second Son, it didn’t exclude the possibility of him bearing the brunt of Julian’s anger.

"Zoe, hurry and help President Ford change his clothes!"

Mr. Sutton, fearing any neglect, called for help to tend to Ryan Ford’s injury.

Zoe?

Leaning against the wall, Scarlett Shaw’s eyelids flickered, she glanced lightly at Zoe.

The latter was nervously helping Julian Ford wipe away the liquid.

The contours of her features indeed bore some resemblance to Zoe Sutton.

However, Zoe Sutton was so proud; she wouldn’t show such weakness in front of Julian Ford.

Scarlett Shaw’s thoughts flew wildly.

Julian Ford took the towel handed by the waiter, wiped away the remaining juice on his face, pushed aside Zoe’s outstretched hand, casually took the coat from her arm, and stepped towards Ryan Ford and Scarlett Shaw.

"You two, come with me."

Straight to the point.

Without sparing them a glance, he walked towards the club’s exit after speaking.

Ryan Ford’s wound had been temporarily stopped, and he followed.

Scarlett Shaw followed too.

Having a ride and not taking it would be foolish.

Having done such a bold move just now, there’s no point in hesitating now.

Julian Ford took Ryan Ford to the hospital.

Scarlett Shaw hadn’t said a word throughout the journey.

The anger inside her was alleviated somewhat by striking Ryan Ford and splashing fruit juice on Julian Ford.

What remained was eighty percent.

All were due to someone playing tricks on her, causing annoyance and suffocation.

However, while Ryan Ford was getting his wound treated, she couldn’t hold back and sneezed.

Julian Ford stood tall on the side, coldly scoffed, "Sneeze again, unaware, people would think you’d turned mute."

Scarlett Shaw: "You had me wait for you all night just to say this?" 𝑓𝑟ℯ𝘦𝓌𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝑐ℴ𝓂

Now, she spoke without the courtesy of addressing him as President, totally disregarding any respectful titles.

Respect is self-given.

If he didn’t respect her, why should she give him face?

Scarlett Shaw’s expression showed clearly; Julian Ford naturally wouldn’t coddle her, his aura as icy as ever.

"So what if I did."

"Nothing much."

Scarlett Shaw smirked coldly.

"Since it was only to say this, now that you’re done, can I leave?"

Julian Ford: "Cause a ruckus and then just leave?"

Scarlett Shaw: "It was just self-defense."

"The wine bottle you shattered is worth six figures, Ryan’s medical expenses, and—"

Julian Ford said leisurely:

"Do you think being justified as self-defense can gloss over the clothes you soaked?"

His gaze was calm.

Yet his words were aggressive.

Scarlett Shaw clenched her fist, "I’ll compensate."

Julian Ford watched her indifferently.

From his eyes, Scarlett Shaw read his usual mockery towards her, clearly saying: Can you afford it?

Julian Ford indeed meant this.

However, mockery wasn’t his intent.

It was merely to remind her of this fact.

Ryan Ford emerged from the wound treatment room with his head wrapped in white bandages.

He heard Scarlett Shaw say compensation and told Julian Ford, "Brother, I’ll compensate Mr. Sutton for that bottle of wine, and Scarlett doesn’t need to cover my medical expenses."

Ryan Ford paused, looked at Julian Ford’s stained shirt.

"As for your clothes, can you not mind them on my behalf?"

Julian Ford didn’t respond.

He merely said in a soft voice: "Go home."

Ryan Ford didn’t move, his eyes bore a touch of reproach.

"Brother, it’s such cold weather. Isn’t it a bit harsh to leave her outside so long? Besides, you were just playing cards with Mr. Sutton in the private room."

"Do I need to say it twice?"

Julian Ford’s voice was cold, listening closely, it carried an undetectable trace of anger.

Ryan Ford went silent.

He glanced at Scarlett Shaw again.

Julian Ford: "Still not leaving?"

Ryan Ford took a deep breath, only then did he withdraw his gaze, turning to leave.

Julian Ford’s gaze returned to Scarlett Shaw’s face.

"I’ll take you home."

He said calmly.

The two of them on this journey naturally ignored each other.

Seemingly calm on the surface, but turbulence brewed underneath.

The car stopped beneath the apartment building.

Scarlett Shaw opened the car door, and as she stepped out, Julian Ford also got off with a thud.

Scarlett Shaw halted, unceremoniously trying to send him away, "You go."

Julian Ford looked at her with calm detachment, "Quite capable, slept with me so many times, and still had Ryan stand up for you."

"His standing up for me, what his true intentions are, you don’t know better than I?"

This topic was a minefield.

Previously, Scarlett Shaw had mentioned it to Julian Ford and was driven out of the room.

Now that their atmosphere had already become exceedingly tense, bringing it up made no difference.

Anyway, he wasn’t showing a good face.

Julian Ford stepped forward, pushed her against the car door, and looked down at her disdainfully, "I’ve been too lenient on you, so much so, you don’t even know where you went wrong."

Scarlett Shaw: "What have you indulged me with? Broken promises are indulgence? Treating me like a monkey, playing tricks on me is indulgence? Julian Ford, you sure know how to flatter yourself."

"I said the premise of not putting you in a difficult position is you not deceiving me."

Julian Ford pinched her chin, his eyes cold as ice.
