"Master, are we really going to let this slide just like that? The young master... He's...”
One of the fighters stepped forward and asked James.
Although he could not say that the young master did not deserve it, Fane had just brought his wife to the Drake family's residence and beat Young Master Drake into a pulp. Plenty of passersby outside would have seen everything.
This was a cause of extreme humiliation for the Drake family. Fortunately, not many people had witnessed the incident, but the Drake family's reputation had really been trampled on.
"I really think there’s no way out of this. Fane is too strong. There’s no way to take
him on by oneself—at least for me!
Elder Gordon finally spoke up after he thought about it. In reality, he wanted to say that it would be useless even if all of them went for Fane at the same time. He tried to tone it down though, for the sake of their dignity.
"It's obvious that Fane has full confidence, judging from how he spoke just now. He's very sure of himself. So all we can do is to forget about this incident!”
James gave a helpless smile. "I've already chided Timothy so many times, but he simply refused to listen to me. Never mind that he fired both Fane and Selena, but he actually dared to touch the latter. Ah. If it were you, wouldn't you think about killing him? Fane had been considering the relationship between us from before, and his friendship with Tanya, that's why..." The fighters could do nothing but bob their heads in obedience when they heard him say that, keeping as quiet as they could.
James thought that it made sense. "You're right. We'll go over to the hospital in a while and check up on my son. His condition must be kept a secret. We'll get the doctors to diagnose that he has mild injuries from a fistfight. There’ll be nothing serious!"
After Fane and Selena went back, they quickly showered and went downstairs, sitting together at the table for dinner.
"Selena, Fane has been fired by Timothy!"
Fiona smiled. "But it doesn't matter. Heh. Fane won ten billion bucks from billiards," she said. "Ten whole billions! He lost his job, but it's great that he has ten billion to his name now. We won't have to worry about having no money in the future! This money doesn't belong to the entire Taylor family. It belongs to us!"
