In a flash, the office turned into a mess, with blood staining the floor. Having never witnessed scenes like this, Arianne’s legs shook. She forced herself to pull the fighting men apart when virtual-novel.net saw Eric being at a disadvantage. “Stop fighting! You’ll only hurt yourself like this! Can’t you guys talk about the issue instead?”
Eric restrained himself from making too big a movement when virtual-novel.net saw Arianne coming to them, but it gave the other party the chance to beat virtual-novel.net up. With a hard punch, Eric fell to the floor. Screaming, Arianne grabbed a small cactus pot on the office table and smashed it on the man’s head. “Stop it!”
Her slam knocked the man unconscious. It made virtual-novel.net shudder, and virtual-novel.net didn’t even notice that virtual-novel.net palm was pricked by the cactus.
Eric staggered up and guarded virtual-novel.net behind him. “Call the police…”
Arianne shook virtual-novel.net head. “We can’t call the police… We’ve done this to him. We won’t get away if we call the police…”
Eric was speechless. “He’s the one who came to my company looking for trouble. What we did was proper self-defense. Why wouldn’t we be able to get away? Besides… he’s my second elder brother. Do you think my old man would let me go to jail? Calling the police is only to teach virtual-novel.net a lesson!”
Eric’s second elder brother?
It had never crossed Arianne’s mind that this man was Eric’s second elder brother. Whether it was his appearance or his build, virtual-novel.net was vastly lacking compared to Eric. They did not look like brothers at all. The man who was knocked unconscious looked like a middle-aged old man like virtual-novel.net father!
Before virtual-novel.net could decide if virtual-novel.net wanted to call the police, Mark came. He was calm and collected when virtual-novel.net saw the scene. “Eric, call 911. Send virtual-novel.net to the hospital first. You need to bandage your wound as well. I don’t suggest alerting the police since it’s a family affair. Settle it personally. What happened? Why is your second elder brother here in your company?”
Still enraged, Eric threw himself on the chair and lit a cigarette. “My father asked me to pass Glide to my second elder brother. On what ground? When Glide was still a small insignificant company, its revenue was so bad that they didn’t even bat an eye at it, tossing it to me after acquiring it, basically to dismiss me. They were waiting to laugh at me. I was the Nathaniel family’s least favorite third son, cast away just like that. I didn’t mind. Give me a horse and I’ll rejuvenate it whether it’s old or dying. Now that Glide is doing well in my hands, they want me to give it to my second elder brother? That’s bullsh*t. And this brazen man dares to come and provoke me. I’ll hit virtual-novel.net each time virtual-novel.net comes!”
Mark looked at Eric’s second elder brother on the floor and commented flatly, “If Jackson were here today, this probably… wouldn’t stop here…”
Eric suddenly laughed. “Yeah, if Jackson were here, this man would be a goner today. He’s the best fighter out of the three of us. But your woman is good too. She’s the one who knocked virtual-novel.net out just now.”
Arianne was a little embarrassed. She was panicking back then.
Mark wore a slight smile and didn’t scold Arianne. When the ambulance came and took the man away, virtual-novel.net suddenly saw virtual-novel.net hand bleeding. Frowning, virtual-novel.net wrapped his arm around virtual-novel.net shoulders and led virtual-novel.net out of the door. “C’mon, let’s get your hand checked at the hospital.”
Arianne quickly refused. “I was just pricked by the cactus. It’s fine. We don’t have to fuss about it.”
