Senior Howard furrowed his brow and looked at Thomas and Tina. Lastly, he closed his eyes and said
with a plain tone, “Why did Dan hit Thomas?” The question caught Tina off–guard; she never thought
Senior Howard would ask that question.
After a while, she pursed her lips and said, “Didn‘t I just say it? He was angry because Thomas shot
you.” She then added, “Don‘t you know how much Dan cares about you? Not like someone else here.
Dan would‘ve fought the person who hurt you with his life if the transgressor wasn‘t his brother.” Senior
Howard sneered, “Is that so? You say Dan cares about me. How does he do that? Using my cars to
gamble and losing them to someone else? Or spending my money behind my back?
“Do you think I don‘t know any of that stuff you two did behind my back?”
Tina‘s eyes blew wide open in shock. She looked at him with a stupefied look.” You…”
After a while, she bit her lip and lowered her voice. “There are outsiders here. Why are you talking
about these? I‘m telling you that Thomas twisted and dislocated Dan‘s hands. We can talk about
everything else later.”
“Outsiders?”
As soon as Tina finished talking, Thomas curled up his lips into a smile.
“Aunt Tina, who are you calling outsiders? Is it me or my fiancee? How come I didn‘t understand what
you just said?” He placed his arm on Yannie‘s shoulder and looked at Senior Howard challengingly.
“Tell me who is the outsider?” Tina‘s face flushed pale. “I‘m referring to…”
“There‘s no outsider here.” Senior Howard did not even bother looking at Tina as he coldly declared,
“Since Yannie is Riley‘s mother, then she‘s my daughter–in law. She‘s not an outsider.”
After that, he looked at Tina coldly, “You said Dan wanted to hit Thomas because he was angry
Thomas hurt me. With that same logic, Thomas dislocating his hands for hitting Yannie is justified.”
Tina was baffled by the sudden turn of events.
She bit her lip. “How is it that he deserves it? He did it because of you...”
“Did he do it because of me, or was it just to find a reason to hit Thomas because I
was injured? You know it yourself!” Senior Howard snorted and closed his eyes. I’m tired. This ends
here.”
He waved his hand. “You may all leave.”
Thomas‘ eyes narrowed at this. Before this, he was dubious of Senior Howard’s motives when he told
him he was passing everything in the family to him. He thought the old geezer was putting up a show
for him to see.
Currently, he was not certain anymore as he stared at Tina’s pale face. ‘The old geezer…isn’t acting?‘
he thought.
“What’s wrong with you?” Tina was infuriated to see Senior Howard not giving a fuck about her woes.
“How is this ending just like this? Dan and I are both worried and care about you, putting you first in this
situation. That’s why he wanted to hit Thomas! If you just let it go like this, do you know how upset Dan
will be?”
“Aunt Tina.” Thomas smiled as he hugged Yannie. “If you are truly worried, caring for my father and
putting him first, how can you come here to make a fuss about this mess when he just woke up and is
still not at his best? Do you truly care about his body or about you and your son’s dignity more?”
