My Bossy CEO Husband

Nearby, Tilda was also dancing to keep an eye on Sheldon.

“I’m not a bad guy.

Don’t be so cautious.

I fell for you at first sight.

How about giving me a chance?” the man continued, misunderstanding Karina’s reluctance as shyness.

He brazenly put his arm around her shoulder.

Karina’s face hardened, and she shoved him away.

“Hands off.

I told you, I have a boyfriend.

”

The man stumbled back a few steps, his expression turning cold at her defiance.

He snorted, “We’re all here to have fun, aren’t we? What’s wrong with you?”

Karina felt exasperated by his persistence.

Just as she was about to retort, she saw Barlow approaching.

Her eyes lit up.

“I wasn’t lying.

My boyfriend is right there.

”

The man followed her gaze and saw Barlow as he hurried over.

Due to his injury, Barlow looked weird when he walked, especially when he hurried.

The man sneered, “Really? You chose a cripple for a boyfriend?”

Karina’s face turned icy.

“Shut your mouth, or I’ll shut it for you.

The man laughed derisively.

“Wow, so tough! He’s a cripple.

Unable to tolerate the insult, Karina slapped him hard across the face.

“Shut your mouth, or I’ll do it again.

”

Stunned by the force of her slap, the man hadn’t expected such a fierce response.

He rolled up his sleeves, eyes blazing with anger.

“You dare slap me? You-“

He raised his hand to strike back, but before he could, Barlow grabbed his arm and twisted it hard.

The man screamed in pain.

With a cold glare, Barlow shoved him away.

“Don’t you dare harm her.

”

The man winced from the pain in his twisted arm and saw Barlow standing protectively in front of Karina.

“You are lame and blind! She started the fight,” he huffed.

Upon hearing the man insult Barlow once more, Karina stepped out from behind Barlow.

“So what? You deserve more than one slap for being a jerk!”

The man pointed at Karina, furious.

“You!”
