"What difference will it make if you tell Sir and his wife? I’ll just say you broke your leg jumping from the second floor, trying to sneak out. They won’t punish me for that!"
"Attack!"
The men charged toward me, swinging their batons. I could already hear the sound of my bones cracking.
My white shirt was soaked with blood and even my black suit had turned dark red, a shocking sight, but they showed no mercy, as if they wouldn’t stop until I was dead.
"If I die here today, the Rodriguez Family won’t let you go!"
"You still think you’re the cherished eldest son of the Rodriguez Family? You’re just a mistake, a bastard who was taken by accident! If Sir and Madam didn’t pity you, they would’ve thrown you out long ago!"
"When Matthew returned, they wanted to send you away. If it weren’t for Cindy begging for you to stay, saying it’s like keeping another dog, do you think you’d still be here in the Rodriguez family?"
"And now you still dream of stealing Matthew’s bride!"
I suddenly laughed. "So you’re not scared I’ll mess up the wedding, you actually want to kill me!"
"It wouldn’t be strange if you fell to your death while trying to escape, right, Joseph?"
