Chapter 1847 Summer
At that moment, Nathaniel came out of his room and stood by my side. Looking down at Lucas, he admonished him, “Has no one ever taught you assh*les any manners?”
“What did you say? Assh*les? I dare you to say that again!” Triggered by Nathaniel’s insult, Lucas unlocked the safety pin and cocked his gun.
Ignoring him, Nathaniel turned to me and said, “Let’s go and have breakfast.”
Just as he spoke, he calmly walked past Lucas’ gun barrel and headed toward the dining room.
In the end, Lucas didn’t fire.
Only then, did I follow and sit at the dining table with him.
Something must have happened for both of them to come by. Therefore, I made sure not to miss any crucial information at this point in time.
The moment I took my seat, Lucas ranted, “F*ck, all of our men have been captured and this is entirely her fault! If not for her disallowing us to carry guns, our men wouldn’t have been defeated. Da*n it, I demand you do something about this!”
Nathaniel calmly glanced at him before turning his attention to the breakfast that was served. After laying his napkin, he picked up his fork and knife and began eating leisurely.
After swallowing his first mouthful, he continued cutting through his food and explained, “Without lifting a finger, they were easily arrested by the police and had their weapons taken away. No one was hurt throughout. Given how the enemy was defeated without a fight, your daughter has
demonstrated how exceptional she is.”
Stunned by his words, I recalled what happened at the club the other day. All I had wanted was for the thugs to dress in suits on the account of the club’s reputation. However, I wasn’t aware that Summer had such a massive plan up her sleeve. noveloz.com
After all, I had assumed that she had changed. Evidently, she was also using her own way to defeat these men, just like Ashton.
“Did you hear me?” Lucas exploded,
brandishing his gun. “Listen to me, okay? I don’t care who is the one behind this, I just want both of you to rescue my men!”
“I have no time to be bothered with your affairs.” Nathaniel lowered his gaze to express his annoyance.
Outraged by Nathaniel’s response, Lucas was about to take action but was quickly interrupted by Quince, who had been silent throughout. “Mr. Hall, do you mean that whatever Summer does, it has nothing to do with you? In that case, we no longer need your permission to do anything we want with her?”
Are they going to harm Summer?
Just when I was about to stop them by reflex, Nathaniel answered nonchalantly, “Do what you want.”
His tone sounded as if Summer was someone irrelevant to him.
She might be so from his perspective, but not mine.
I waved my hands at Quince and Lucas at once. “No, he doesn’t mean that. Whatever Summer did, we will take responsibility. I will take responsibility, so don’t you dare do anything to harm her!”
Unfortunately, Quince ignored me and waited for an answer from Nathaniel instead. When he didn’t get a response, his expression darkened. He then raised his gun and hissed, “Nathaniel, you had better prepare to live with the consequences of your decision!”
After a brief pause, he added, “Let’s go!”
With that, he hurriedly left with Lucas.
Given that Nathaniel didn’t want to get involved, he naturally wouldn’t want to protect Summer. Even if just the two of them sought Summer out for revenge, it would pose an overwhelming threat to her, as these men were skilled assassins.
Therefore, Summer was no longer safe the moment both of them left.
When I darted out to stop them, they had already disappeared by the time I left the dining hall.
Given how furious they were, it was likely that they were already on their way to get Summer. Seized by rage, I roared at Nathaniel, “Have you gone mad? Why did you have to tell them that? Even if you don’t want to protect Summer, can’t you delay them with some excuse on my
account? By saying what you said, Summer will die. Do you know that?”
