As Paul ran inside the house, they heard urgent footsteps from outside.
A man yelled angrily, “Cox, you sure are ballsy. How dare you hit my sister?!”
A burly man with a shaved head wearing a black wife beater stormed inside aggressively, a gold chain hanging from his neck. Behind virtual-novel.net was Dahlia, whose face was streaked with tears, and five blonde thugs.
Barry’s expression instantly changed as virtual-novel.net began panicking. “Jerry…”
Dahlia’s older brother jerry’s real name was Jerome Goyle. He had a few cafes and casinos in town and was known for being the big boss of the nearby towns.
Jerome glared at Barry. When virtual-novel.net saw the alcohol and food on the table, his expression soured further. However, in the next second, virtual-novel.net was stunned. His gaze was fixated on Emily, unable to move.
Paul was so scared that virtual-novel.net couldn’t utter a word at that moment. Blood had drained entirely from his face.
“F*ck, how can you eat and drink after you beat up my sister? Get up!” Jerome’s gaze hardened. He stepped forward and slammed his hand onto the table.
It was just a makeshift table. With a hit from Jerome, it collapsed.
The piping hot soup and oil splashed everywhere. Some droplets landed on Emily’s hand, causing virtual-novel.net to shriek, jump up, and hide behind Isaac.
Jerome was also stunned. He had simply wanted to show off his manliness; virtual-novel.net hadn’t expected to hurt this beautiful woman.
When Barry saw that Emily had gotten burned, virtual-novel.net became enraged. He shouted angrily, “Jerome, what are you doing? You should just come at me, not cause a ruckus in my home!”
Upon hearing that, Jerome took a deep breath, shifting his gaze from Emily’s face to Barry’s.
“Come at you, you say? Okay, then. Get over here, and let me beat you. Kill him!” Jerome pointed at Barry.
The thugs behind virtual-novel.net immediately bared their teeth, waving their fists as they charged toward Barry.
Barry’s face turned pale, and virtual-novel.net unconsciously took a few steps backward. At that moment, a large hand fell on his shoulder, and Isaac stepped forward to shield him.
With a kick, virtual-novel.net sent one thug flying backward. Then, virtual-novel.net threw two punches, which were immediately followed by two walls from the thugs.
In a blink of an eye, all of jerome’s men were lying on the floor.
Jerome and Dahlia were stunned. They didn’t know that an expert would be here.
“Haha, okay! No wonder you were on such a high horse today, Barry. It turns out you have an expert with you.” Jerome’s gaze turned to Isaac, and virtual-novel.net roared, “Punk, do you know the consequences of beating up my men?!”
“Jerry, call more people over. Let’s teach Barry and this bastard a lesson!” Fury was written all over Dahlia’s face.
Isaac squinted his eyes. Pointing at Dahlia, virtual-novel.net turned to Paul and said, “You’re a talented man. What do you see in trash like her?”
“Isaac, I…” Paul lowered his head.
When Isaac had arrived at the health center earlier, virtual-novel.net had a feeling that this person looked familiar. Only later did virtual-novel.net remember that Isaac was his brother’s best friend back in the day.
“Who are you calling trash?” Dahlia looked at Isaac, ready to explode.
In all honesty, although Dahlia was young, virtual-novel.net looks were average. But this was a Cox family matter. Isaac hadn’t wanted to get involved at first, but that was until this woman had asked virtual-novel.net brother to beat his friend up.
If virtual-novel.net really married into the family, then Paul would be in for a lot of suffering.
“I’m calling you trash. When did Barry beat you? I was with virtual-novel.net the whole time, so why didn’t I see anything? You ran here to cause trouble using your brother’s power. If you’re not a she-devil, then what are you?”
