Meeting Rory’s gaze, Devin didn’t smile as he usually did. His eyes were filled with coldness. “Let’s take this outside.”
He had wanted to teach Rory a lesson for a long time now.
Rory sneered. “Okay. Where?”
He hadn’t vented his anger all day.
Alcohol made people reckless. He had wanted to pour out his bitterness to Aiken, but his words only made Rory more frustrated.
Now that he bumped into Devin, Rory didn’t want to hold his anger in anymore.
“Come with me.”
Devin shot Rory a cold glance, snorted, and then got in his car.
Aiken turned to look at Rory and asked, “Rory, you must be joking, right?”
They were both grown men. Mature adults were supposed to be capable of solving problems without resorting to violence.
If the two of them fought, Aiken wondered if he should try to stop them or cheer them up.
Rory didn’t want to waste his breath on Aiken anymore. He dragged him to his car and barked, “Start the car and follow him!”
Aiken couldn’t help but chuckle. “It’s good you still remember that you drank! How responsible of you!”
Without hesitation, Rory kicked Aiken in the stomach. Caught off guard, Aiken almost fell to the ground. After steadying himself, he gritted his teeth and glared at Rory for a while. Finally, he threw up his hands in defeat and said, “Forget it. I owe you one anyway.”
Given how late in the night it was, there was no other place open except late-night food stalls, bars, and clubs.
But now the situation was different. Becky and Rory had divorced, so he didn’t have to worry about the Casper family making things difficult for her.
Thinking of this, Devin threw punches faster and heavier.
After being punched in the face, Rory felt dizzy for a moment, but he quickly gathered his bearings. When Devin’s fist came at him again, he bent down to dodge and took the opportunity to kick Devin.
It seemed that the two men were going to beat each other to death. Aiken finally got out of the car and yelled, “Stop! Stop right now! If you keep fighting like this, you’ll be on the news tomorrow!”
But no one listened to him. Seeing that Rory was at a disadvantage, Aiken hurried to stop Devin. “Devin, that’s enough! He’s drunk! That’s not fair, is it?”
“Fuck you! He’s the one taking unfair advantage!” Devin roared and refused to slow down even though Aiken tried to stop him. He punched Rory in the face and said, “Why didn’t you treat your own wife well while you two were married? Why would you marry her in the first place if you didn’t even like her? Rory, you are a fucking scumbag!”
If Devin hadn’t been late, he would never have let Rory marry Becky.
