Enrique paused, the chess piece still between his fingers. He hadn’t intended to get involved, but this unexpected tum–is youngest son gaming mess up in things for the sake of a woman–truly caught him off guard.

‘Well, that’s a first, he wondered.

Enrique asked, “What exactly happened?

Gareth’s face lit up with hope. He immediately put on a pitiful act and wailed, “Enrique, you know how worthless my son is, but he’s my only child Lately, he took a liking to some girl, Who could’ve known she was under Mr. Turner’s protection? That’s how this whole mess started.

“After all, our families do have ties. It’s one thing for my son to get beaten up by Mr. Turner disciplining a younger one. But now he wants to put my son behind bars? Isn’t that just blatant bullying?”

Enrique remained impassive. Of the entire Timberlake family, the only decent one had been his eldest son’s wife. Enrique hardly believed a word Gareth

Gareth only harped on how Bowen bullied Jacob, conveniently omitting any mention of what Jacob did to provoke Bowen,

“My eldest daughter is gone. Now I only have this one son left. I can’t just stand by

Enrique’s brow twitched. Before he could speak, an icy voice cut through the air. “Mr. Timberlake, how resourceful–going straight to my b

Gareth turned toward the voice, only to see Bowe

Bowen approaching, flanked by Ethan and Samson

Bowen strode forward, the hem of his charcoal gray coat flaring with each step. His strikingly beautiful, almost demonic features radiated a dangerous allure as he closed in.

Gareth’s heart sank. ‘Damn it. I haven’t even convinced Enrique yet. How did Bowen show up so soon?‘ he thought to himself

Seeing his youngest son arrive, Enrique couldn’t be bothered to intervene, Still, out of respect for his eldest daughter–in–law, he threw in a remark, “You’re here just in time. Whatever issues you have, talk it out face to face, and keep this chil.”

The implication was that Bowen should at least cut the Timberlake family some slack.

But Bowen would never listen.

Bowen said coldly,

y.“if it weren’t out of respect for my sister–in–law, I’d have killed that bastard by now. Since you’ve come all the way here, let’s have a

proper talk.”

Bowen’s voice was cold, yet every word he spoke cut like a knife

Bowen demanded, “Wasn’t Jacob tailing a young woman, attempting to violate her?”

Gareth avoided Bowen’s gaze and muttered, “She’s just nobody, after all. Besides, you’ve already punished Jacob. Why make a mountain out of a molehill?

Bowen’s voice turned lety. “And this isn’t the first lime. The first time, he got a beating but still didn’t learn his lesson. The second time, he actually tried to get physical. So what’s next? Does he think he can have the audacity to mess with her right under my nose?”

Gareth could only mutter weakly, “He’s still just a kid, after all.”

“A twenty–something kid?” Bowen sneered mercilessly.

Behind Bowen, Ethan and Samson snickered.

Gareth’s face burned red with humiliation at their laughter.

Bowen declared coldly, “I’m laying it out right now. No matter who comes begging it won’t make a damn bit of difference.”

Gareth choked with fury. Their families were tied by marriage, yet Bowen dared to show him absolutely no respect
