Unfortunately, there was no way Natalie could stop Stephen in time, even if she ran after him\u00a0<\/p>\n
now.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Upon realizing that Abigail was getting closer to him, Jeffrey furrowed his brow slightly. \u201cAb?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
What did she plan on doing?\u00a0<\/p>\n
However, Abigail didn\u2019t respond. She singlemindedly leaned over as she zeroed in on his lips.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Jeffrey pushed a little harder with his hand that was pressing on her shoulder, his fingers turning white.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Just as Abigail\u2019s breath fanned across his mouth, Jeffrey felt a strong hand clamp his arm before he was yanked backward.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The sudden motion caused Jeffrey to stumble back several steps. Once he had steadied himself, he turned to look at who had grabbed him, only to see Stephen. The latter\u2019s face was flushed\u00a0<\/p>\n
red, and he reeked of alcohol.\u00a0<\/p>\n
UN\u00a0<\/p>\n
Before Jeffrey could say anything, Stephen was throwing a punch right at him.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cKissing Abigail and being all lovey\u2013dovey with her out in public\u2026 Do you even care about my sister? Have you ever respected her? She must have really been blind back then to fall for a scumbag like you! Not only did she waste her youth on you, but she even gave up on her career! \u201cStephen ranted.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Swinging his fist forward again, he continued screaming, Jeffrey Foster, you don\u2019t fucking deserve her! You don\u2019t deserve having such a wonderful wife! Serves you right for being deceived and played for a fool by a pretentious bitch like Abigail!\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
His second punch was a miss as Jeffrey had finally come to his senses. He swiftly dodged the\u00a0<\/p>\n
blow.\u00a0<\/p>\n
With lightning speed, Jeffrey retaliated and seized Stephen\u2019s wrist, his eyes shining with murderous intent. No one had ever hit him before. Stephen was the first.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The vice grip around his wrist caused Stephen to be unable to move it, but he still had his other hand, so he didn\u2019t hesitate to continue his attack. In fact, he even lashed out with his legs, throwing kicks and punches everywhere.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Alcohol and sheer fury lent Stephen more strength than usual, raising his ferociousness by several levels. Hence, Jeffrey was unable to hold his ground and was forced to retreat over and over again.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Like a recklessly charging bull, Stephen kept up the assault as he bellowed, \u201cI\u2019ve long since\u00a0<\/p>\n
Chapter 96\u00a0<\/p>\n
wanted to beat you to death, you bastard! It seems I\u2019m finally getting the chance today!\u00a0<\/p>\n
212\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cHaving a mistress, aiding the Wright family, and letting down Nat\u2026 I used to think that you\u2019d snap out of it one day and come to your senses, so I tried to get in your good graces and always stood on your side. I immediately let you know when Nat had an abortion, yet what did you do? You were glad that she voluntarily got rid of the baby!\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Jeffrey\u2019s expression was grim, though he remained silent.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Seizing the opportunity when Stephen launched another fist at him, Jeffrey ducked under it and darted behind Stephen. Then, he reached forward and wrapped his arm around Stephen\u2019s neck, putting him in a headlock.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The tables were immediately turned with that move, and Stephen lost any ability to fight back All he could do was scrabble helplessly at Jeffrey\u2019s arm, yet Jeffrey didn\u2019t even budge an inch.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Jeffrey uttered coldly, \u201cYou have a death wish, huh?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
As he gradually tightened his grip, Stephen\u2019s expression grew increasingly pained.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cSteph! Let him go! He\u2019ll choke to death!\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Natalie rushed over, her hair a disheveled mess while her face was deathly pale. She wanted to help but didn\u2019t know what to do. Her hands hovered in mid\u2013air for a moment before dropping back to her sides uselessly.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cJeffrey Foster, let go\u00a0<\/p>\n
of my\u00a0<\/p>\n
brother!\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Jeffrey\u2019s expression was terrifyingly dark as he retorted, \u201cDo you seriously think I will?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Just who the hell did she think he was? With his status and influence, everybody had to show him respect, no matter who they were.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Yet, Stephen had physically assaulted him without any warning. This was a blatant challenge to his authority! He had never, in his entire life, been hit before!\u00a0<\/p>\n
And that was not even counting the fact that Stephen hadn\u2019t held back with that first punch. A bruise was already visibly forming at the corner of Jeffrey\u2019s mouth. He would not be letting this matter go.\u00a0<\/p>\n
