Jason retorted, his naturally cold face showing rare signs of anger. "I've faced countless dangerous individuals in my life. What could I possibly be afraid of?" Courtney smirked, grabbed his wrist, and pulled him toward the door. "Then cwithto Mr. Shaw. Let's resign together." Jason hesitated, pulling his hand free. "Wait. Hold on. I never said I was resigning. Letthink about it." A soft breeze blew through the sheer curtains, brushing against their faces. Courtney scratched her cheek, her face tickled by the wind. Watching Jason retreat hurriedly, her clear eyes sparkled with amusement. The Brookes Family Confrontation It was midday, the twhen the Brookes family typically enjoyed their afternoon rest. Even Isaac, the busiest among them, would seize the opportunity for a rare break. For someone like Brandon, who disliked naps, this would be tspent gaming in an air-conditioned room or chatting with Angela, who was likely tending to Natalie somewhere.

But today was different.
Led by lan, the Brookes family stood together in the courtyard. Isaac supported their elderly father, while Gavin and his two brothers flanked lan on either side. The women and children of the family were shielded behind them. One by one, their sharp gazes locked on the figure before them.
Carl, as always, was dressed in a black suit. Despite the sweltering summer heat, he didn't seem bothered. He stood opposite lan, holding prayer beads in his hand. "Ian, you and my father go way back. I don't want to make this difficult. Hand over Tina now, or don't blme for what happens next." Unlike the condescending politeness he showed Tina the previous day, Carl's demeanor toward lan was entirely different. His presence was commanding, his sharp, phoenix-like eyes radiating intensity. He wasted no words. Behind him stood the Langdon family's members, armed and clearly prepared for a confrontation.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmBrandon sneered at Carl's lofty attitude. "Carl, without your father, what are you even worth? You dare strut around here? If I don't beat you to the ground today, you won't know what it means to show respect!"
Jack twirled a long sword in his hand, his smile dripping with disdain. "Brother, why bother with someone like him? Let your younger brother take care of this. I haven't stretched my muscles in days. He'll make a fine warm-up." If Grandpa Langdon were here, the Brookes family might have reconsidered their approach. But Carl? He was nothing. Gavin remained silent, but his contempt for Carl was written all over his face.
Carl's expression didn't change, but the prayer beads in his hand cracked, the shattered fragments scattering in the wind. Colin Nash, standing behind him, could no longer hold back. He stepped forward, pointing a finger at lan. "lan, is this how the Brookes family treats its guests?! Our young master cto negotiate politely. It's just Tina-she has nothing to do with your family! Even if you're fond of her as your god-granddaughter, you should think about the well-being of everyone in your family!" His chin lifted slightly, his arrogant demeanor grating on even the mildest of the Brookes family. Isaac frowned in irritation.
"I advise you not to be stubborn. These men behindare Langdon family elites, the very best. Your family of old men, women, and children won't stand a chance against them."
Before he could finish, Gavin stepped forward and delivered a swift kick to Colin's chest. The impact sent Colin flying backward his body-hitting the ground with a sickening crack. He skidded several meters before slamming into a pillar, finally coming to a stop. Blood pooled on the ground, the crimson stain shocking everyone present. Carl's face darkened, the change in his expression unmistakable. The man who usually exuded poise and elegance now looked like a vengeful spirit from the depths of hell. His cold, piercing gaze fixed on Gavin before shifting back to lan. "Old man," Carl said, his voice low and dangerous. "It seems you've made your choice."
