Roxanne and Lucian followed the address to Building No. 16. It was a three-story, stand-alone mansion. Despite being in the suburbs, it was still valued at no less than ten million.
The yard was surrounded by an iron fence, and there were still lights on at the second floor. It was apparent that Winnie was still awake. With a grim expression, Roxanne rang the doorbell.
Not long after, a gruff voice complained, “Who is it? It’s the middle of the night!” Roxanne narrowed her eyes. She was very familiar with the man’s voice. I’m sure that it belongs to Yosef.
Yosef walked to the iron gate while reeking of alcohol and peered out from inside. He froze when he spotted Roxanne, and then he caught a glimpse of the hostile-looking Lucian.
The streetlights allowed the couple to see the gloomy and uncertain expression on his face. “Roxanne? It’s so late. What do you want?” Yosef’s voice instantly lost its previous gruffness, and he appeared to be more or less sober up.
“Open the gate. I want to see Winnie!”
Roxanne did not wish to waste time talking to him. Her whole face seemed to be shrouded by a thick layer of frost.
“Sorry. My mom isn’t here now. Come back another day!” There was slight panic in Yosef’s eyes, but he still turned his face away and replied awkwardly. Following that, he turned around and wanted to leave.
Just then, Lucian’s steely voice rang out. “If you don’t open the gates, I don’t mind tearing down your mansion tonight!”
Yosef was so frightened that he stopped in his tracks, but he dared not turn around and face Lucian’s frosty gaze. In truth, the mansion’s iron fence was not all that high.
Seeing that Yosef was still frozen on the spot, Lucian had had enough of talking. He turned his head and shot a look at the bodyguards, and they immediately took action.
Darting forward like loosed arrows, they effortlessly went over the iron fence within three seconds. In the next instant, Yosef was pinned to the ground by two of the bodyguards.
“Roxanne, Lucian, what are you trying to do? This is trespassing. It’s against the law. I want to call the police!”
Yosef struggled fiercely, but he was powerless against the strength of the two bodyguards. His hands were tightly restrained, and his tears were about to fall from the pain. Roxanne walked over to him before crouching down. Then, she raised her hand and slapped him twice.
She would never forget how the so-called “elder brother” whom Grant forced her to acknowledge had brought many male classmates to bully her. Not only did they call her a b*tch and a piece of trash, but they also punched and kicked her.
Roxanne never thought that he would still dare to return to Horington and live carefreely in the mansion. Even after hitting him twice, she still could not relieve her hatred.
“Yosef, it’s time to settle the score for the harm you once did to me!” She gritted her teeth and wanted to slap him again, but Lucian held her back.
“Let me do it. Hitting this kind of person will get your hands dirty.” Lucian’s gaze was gloomy. He would never let someone that his wife hated so much off the hook.
“Break his hand!” Lucian’s malevolent aura completely exploded at that moment. His eyes gleamed with murderous intent as he gave the order in a low voice.
The bodyguards acted immediately, and in the blink of an eye, Yosef screamed in agony, “Ahhh! My hands! They are broken!”
Yet, the bodyguards’ expressions remained unchanged. They struck decisively, using their kicks to shatter the radius of Yosef’s hands at the fastest possible speed.
After the screams, only muffled groans left Yosef’s lips, and he kept inhaling sharply. The pain made him tremble all over. The veins on his forehead popped as cold sweat beaded on him.
Roxanne showed no concern for his predicament. She wanted nothing more than to rip him to pieces, so he should be thankful that he only had broken bones in his hands now.
She pondered how he could go so far as to lead a group of people to beat up her ten-year-old self until she was covered in bruises. There were even many hairline fractures on her body at the time. A small bit of retribution like this is nothing!
Yosef’s screams quickly attracted the figure upstairs, and she rushed down quickly.
“Yosef! Yosef, what happened to you?”
