Chapter 1131 The Feisty Lina
Chapter 1131 The Feisty Lina
"Are you under Fabio's command?"
Upon hearing Lina's question, Duccio nodded.
He often enjoyed playing with knives in his spare time, so he knew the circumstances under which a person could hold a knife most steadily.
At this moment, Lina was in no situation to hold a knife steadily.
Her wrist was still trembling slightly. Duccio was afraid that Lina might accidentally cut her own neck if she wasn't careful.
"Indeed, I work for Fabio. As an Iugrean, you should know what that means." NôvelDrama.Org (C) content.
Originally, Duccio intended to use Fabio's name to see if he could persuade Lina to back off.
However, Lina unexpectedly turned around and fiercely stabbed Duccio in the thigh.
"Ah! You wretched woman!"
Subconsciously, Duccio felt the urge to hit Lina.
Donald grabbed his hair and forcefully slammed Duccio's head against the car.
In front of Donald, Duccio was like a child whose every move was completely transparent. No matter how he resisted, Donald would always intercept him first, and then give him a severe lesson.
At first, Lina was actually quite afraid of Duccio's counterattack.
But when she realized that with Donald around, Duccio couldn't harm her at all, Lina's courage grew even stronger.
The small knife in her hand was no longer used to stab directly into Duccio's thigh. Instead, she used the blade to slice open Duccio's jeans, creating one cut after another on his leg.
This kind of pain may not be as intense as a piercing wound at the beginning, but the pain would last long.
He could neither fight nor hide from it.
Duccio could only grit his teeth and silently endure this pain.
Right now, all he could think about was surviving. If he did, he would certainly make this wretched woman, Lina, pay for it.
"Since you're under Fabio's command, there's no way you don't know you've crossed the line. If you're looking to take revenge on me, I'm ready anytime. But you'd better tell the truth to Fabio. Get lost, and don't let me see you again, or next time I won't hesitate to stab you to death!"
With a swift kick, Lina's foot landed on Duccio's thigh, her high heel striking precisely where he had just been injured.
Worried that Donald might attack him again, Duccio, enduring the pain, helped Enver hobble away.
Once the two of them had left, Lina returned to her previous ladylike demeanor.
Feeling somewhat embarrassed, she said to Donald, "I'm truly sorry, Mr. Campbell. Not only did I fail to offer you a proper dinner, but I also caused a conflict between you and the people of Testa Nera because of me."
Donald waved his hand to indicate it was nothing.
At this moment, Geraldine stepped forward and said, "We're not helping you out of any special consideration. If any girl were in the situation you were just in, we would have stepped in to help."
Hearing Geraldine speak like this, Lina knew that Geraldine was still angry.
She quickly explained to Geraldine, "Ms. Harper, our CEO is genuinely interested in pursuing a business partnership with you. Even though Baccio is our manager, his ideas don't align with those of our CEO."
"So, that's why he was so rude earlier in the banquet hall. Can your manager really have a different opinion from the CEO?"
Geraldine found Lina's words quite strange.
After all, the CEO was the big boss of the company. If you dared to defy the CEO, didn't that mean you essentially didn't want to keep your job anymore?
With a sincere look on her face, Lina said to Geraldine, "If Ms. Harper is willing to give me another chance, I can explain everything to you properly over dinner."
Is she asking Geraldine out for a meal?
Donald was beginning to lose faith in these Iugreans.
Yet, Geraldine felt that Lina's gaze was very sincere, not as if she was trying to deceive them.
"All right, then. Dinner is on you. We want something delicious."
