Chapter 393\u00a0<\/p>\n
Jagger brought his foot down, aiming to crush Torrin, but Torrin was faster. He twisted aside, grabbing Jagger\u2019s ankle and using the momentum to flip himself upright, slamming Jagger down in his place.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cSon of a bitch,\u201d Torrin muttered, pinning Jagger\u2019s upper body and raising his fist to smash it into his terrified face.\u00a0<\/p>\n
But before his second punch could land, a bodyguard\u2019s kick connected squarely with his side. Torrin lost his balance and fell backward, hitting the floor hard.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Lucius approached slowly, his expression cold and unreadable. He looked down at the struggling Torrin, then deliberately raised his foot and pressed it firmly onto Torrin\u2019s head, grinding it into the floor.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cFeeling tough now?\u201d he sneered.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Seeing the situation spiral out of control and with no sign of Haskell, Avril knew she had to act. \u201cMr. Lincoln,\u201d she said, her voice steady, \u201cI suggest you think this through. Is your uncle really worth making enemies of both Larissa and the Dillon family? You know as well as I do that Larissa isn\u2019t someone to be trifled with, and neither is the head of the Dillon family.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Torrin, still pinned under Lucius\u2019s boot, managed to turn his head. \u201cShut up! This has nothing to do with you!\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Avril fell silent, exasperated.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Jagger, seizing the opportunity, scrambled to his feet. \u201cLucius, that Palmer brat needs a lesson too! She said our family would regret crossing that bitch Larissa!\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cYou lapdog,\u201d Torrin spat from the floor.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Jagger finally had his chance for revenge. He kicked Torrin hard in the ribs. \u201cStill talking tough? I\u2019m going to break both your hands tonight!\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Lucius turned his icy gaze on Avril. \u201cSince you put it that way,\u201d he said, his voice a low threat, \u201cit seems the Lincoln family has already offended the Judsons and the Dillons. I suppose offending the Palmers as well won\u2019t make much difference.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
He waved his hand. One of his bodyguards immediately started walking toward Avril. The other guests in her party shrank back in their seats, their faces pale with fear, none daring to make a sound. Avril clenched her fists as the bodyguard closed in.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Just then, a calm, melodic voice cut through the tension.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cMr. Lincoln, you\u2019re certainly putting on quite a show.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
All eyes turned to the entrance. Sharon Dillon walked in, as graceful and composed as a blooming orchid. She exuded an aura of quiet authority and confidence that was both captivating and intimidating. Though she was a woman, there was no mistaking her power. The slight smile on her lips was neither overly friendly nor coldly distant.\u00a0<\/p>\n
No one looked at her with lust; they looked at her with awe. The title of Regal City\u2019s greatest beauty\u00a0<\/p>\n

had gone to Honora, not because Sharon was any less beautiful or talented, but because her presence was so commanding that no one dared to objectify her.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Lucius watched her approach, his expression hardening. \u201cMs. Dillon, have you come to beg for your brother\u2019s life?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
