Chapter 0209
Hawk’s move not only startled Dylan but also gave Suzy a scare.
Especially as his face came closer and closer.
Just as Suzy prepared to cut the act short and end the performance, a fist carrying a menacing chill suddenly shot toward Hawk.
Hawk swiftly dodged to the side and glanced unhappily at Dylan. “Mr. Wright, I’m comforting my girlfriend. If you don’t want to watch, you can leave. Don’t you think it’s rather rude to interfere like this?”
“Claude, let me warn you–if you dare touch her again, I’ll make your life a living hell!”
His intent to kill was impossible to conceal.
Dylan had never felt so driven to kill anyone as he did at this moment.
“Correction–I’m Caleb. And she’s my girlfriend. Don’t you think you’re overstepping a bit, Mr. Wright?”
Hawk wasn’t intimidated by Dylan’s threat; instead, he continued provoking him.
Since talking to him was clearly getting nowhere, Dylan stopped wasting his breath and threw another punch straight at Hawk’s face.
Hawk quickly ducked behind Suzy and shouted, “Sweetheart, save me!”
Suzy was left speechless.
Good grief, this disgusting acting–it really made her want to abandon the script.
Although she found Hawk’s behavior revolting, Suzy decided to see the act through. With a blank expression, she said to Dylan, “Dylan, this isn’t the place for you to lose your temper.”
“You’re defending him?” Dylan’s eyes instantly turned crimson, blood vessels bursting one by one. “Do you have any idea that he’s lying to you?”
“Like I said, what does that have to do with you?” Suzy’s tone turned icy: “Whether he’s Claude or Caleb, it’s between him and me. It’s none of your business, ex–husband.”
She pointed to the door. “Get out.”
“You’re actually kicking me out?” Dylan felt his heart shatter into countless pieces, the pain making it hard for him to even breathe.
Suzy seemed indifferent to the anguish on his face, her words colder still. “You barged in uninvited.”

Dylan gritted his teeth against the pain. “You trust him that much?”
“You sure talk a lot!” Suzy, thoroughly exasperated, walked to her desk and pressed the intercom button. “Send a few security guards up to clear out anyone who doesn’t belong here.”
Dylan could see her resolute attitude and felt it deeply. Clenching his fists, he didn’t say another word. He hung his head in defeat and left dejectedly.
The moment Dylan stepped out, Suzy turned to Hawk with the same icy tone. “You, out too!”
“Junior, isn’t that a bit heartless, burning bridges like this?” Hawk was clearly more shameless than Dylan, as he stayed put without a hint of embarrassment. “Besides, I’m officially your boyfriend now. You can’t treat me as coldly as you do to Dylan.”
Suzy’s dislike for him was no less than what she felt for Dylan, especially when he made such presumptuous remarks. “Hawk, don’t push my patience too far. If you don’t get lost now, you won’t like it if I lose my temper.”
Seeing that Suzy was genuinely angry, Hawk shrugged. “Oh, I just remembered–I have something urgent to take care of. Junior, I’ll head out for now. If you miss me, just give me a call. No matter how far, I’ll show up at lightning speed…”
Before he could finish, Suzy grabbed a book and threw it at him. “Out!”
Hawk, quick on his feet, darted to the door, using it as a shield against the flying book. With a playful grin, he turned back and said, “Junior, one last thing–I forgot to tell you my new name. From now on, I’m Caleb Harlow. You can address me casually, just like you did with Claude, and call me Caleb.”
