“Wasn’t this girl on the news two days ago? Is she the one who’s going to marry Josh Batton soon?”
“Does that mean these two who got beaten up are related to this girl?”
“You have no idea, but this girl is that man’s daughter, and she’s that lady’s cousin.”
“It’s over for this jerk today, isn’t it? Messing with this girl’s family means messing with the entire Batton family. The Batton family isn’t easy to deal with.”
The surrounding people were still whispering among themselves.
Many of them began to speak their mind without fear of repercussions.
Meanwhile, the middle-aged man’s face turned even paler when he heard what everyone was saying.
It really was over for him!
“Annabeth, look. I’m your cousin-in-law. Hurry up and ask them to let me go…” The middle-aged man said.
Being pinned to the ground, he struggled to set himself free as he humbly pleaded with Annabeth Cates.
He no longer seemed as arrogant and bossy as he did when speaking to Annabeth’s father and cousin earlier.
Right now, he looked like a weakling.
Annabeth sneered. “Why didn’t you recall the fact that we were family when you were beating my father and cousin up?”
“Annabeth… You can do whatever you want to this man…” Sharon Lindt said as she looked at the middle-aged man coldly.
Having lived so long, this was the first time Sharon met such a terrible man.
He was way too cruel.
“Annabeth, please… Don’t do this. Let me go. I’ll never do it again,” the middle-aged man begged.
Right then, he was feeling extremely fearful…
In the next second, his body trembled even worse.
He had no one to blame but himself for lingering in casinos and clubs all the time. He lived a hedonistic existence, and he paid no attention to society or the news.
If he had paid at least a little attention, this wouldn’t have happened today.
After being helped to their feet, Bobby Cates and his niece were still in a daze.
They leaned weakly against Sharon and Josh Batton, respectively.
With their bodies aching all over, they barely had any energy left.
Right then, their bodies were completely limp.
“Annabeth… What do you want to do?” Sharon’s heart ached, and she felt angry when she saw Annabeth’s father.
She wished she could tear the middle-aged man into pieces right there and then.
Even if Annabeth was usually a person with a good temper, she now felt the urge to kill her cousin-in-law.
