Chapter 392\u00a0<\/p>\n
As Torrin passed the spot where Jagger lay groaning on the floor, a hand shot out and grabbed his pant leg.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cYou little bastard\u2026 You\u2019re not leaving today! I\u2019ve already called my nephew! You\u2019re dead!\u201d Jagger hissed, clutching his phone in his other hand.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Torrin looked down, kicked his hand away, and said, \u201cFine. I\u2019ll wait. I\u2019m curious to see just how tough your nephew really is.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Avril\u2019s heart sank. The real power in the Lincoln family lay with Helena and Lucius. If Lucius showed up, Torrin was in serious trouble. She felt a pang of guilt. She had lured him here, and he had fought for Larissa\u2019s honor. She couldn\u2019t just abandon him.\u00a0<\/p>\n
She grabbed the food bag and stood up. \u201cTorrin, you should really go.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Torrin shot her a sideways glance. \u201cI\u2019m not leaving. I\u2019m a Dillon heir. I\u2019m not afraid of anyone.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Jagger struggled to his feet, gingerly touching his bruised face. \u201cStill acting tough after being kicked out to deliver food? Fine. You just wait!\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWhatever,\u201d Torrin scoffed, finding a seat. \u201cI\u2019m waiting.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Seeing that the stubborn fool was determined to stay, Avril had no choice but to remain as well. Worried they couldn\u2019t handle the Lincolns alone, she sent a quick text to Haskell.\u00a0<\/p>\n
[Haskell, SOS! I\u2019m at Subzero.]\u00a0<\/p>\n
The rest of the bar patrons stayed put, eager to see the drama unfold.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Twenty minutes passed.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWhere\u2019s your nephew? Did he chicken out?\u201d Torrin asked impatiently.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Sharon\u2019s friend groaned inwardly. The Dillons had truly brought a troublemaker home. She frantically texted Sharon again: [This is bad! Jagger called Lucius!]\u00a0<\/p>\n
Jagger checked his phone, about to call his nephew himself, when someone in the crowd shouted.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cLucius Lincoln is here!\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
A moment later, Lucius strode in, flanked by bodyguards. He glanced at Jagger\u2019s battered face.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Jagger scrambled up from his seat. \u201cLucius, you\u2019re finally here! This punk from the Dillon family beat me like this. You have to teach him a lesson.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Lucius cast a cold, appraising look at Torrin and tilted his chin. Two of his bodyguards immediately\u00a0<\/p>\n
advanced on Torrin.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Seeing he was outnumbered, Torrin\u2019s bravado faltered slightly. \u201cI\u2019m a Dillon heir! If you touch me, you\u2019re declaring war on my family!\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cDon\u2019t listen to him, Lucius,\u201d Jagger sneered. \u201cThe Dillons already kicked him out to deliver food.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cEven if they hadn\u2019t, I would still touch him,\u201d Lucius said, his voice like ice. He had been reining himself\u00a0<\/p>\n

in for too long as his family tried to clean up its image. First, Larissa had the audacity to attack his family, and now some nobody from the Dillons was doing the same. It didn\u2019t matter that the person being beaten was his useless uncle\u2013it was still a stain on the Lincoln family\u2019s name.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The authority of the Lincoln family would not be challenged, not by the Dillons or anyone else.\u00a0<\/p>\n
One of the bodyguards lunged forward, kicking Torrin hard in the stomach and sending him sprawling to the floor.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Lucius\u2019s patience had worn thin.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cUncle,\u201d he said, his voice dripping with menace, \u201che hit you. Now, you hit him back.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Jagger\u2019s eyes lit up. \u201cThat\u2019s my boy!\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
He walked over to Torrin, raising his foot to stomp on him.\u00a0<\/p>\n
