Elliot did not expect Hayden to be so direct. He did not give them a chance to breathe or think.
They were at Nick's place. They were in their territory, yet he had completely torn off the pretense of friendliness. Was he not afraid that they would do something extreme?
"Hayden, we don't have any evidence yet right now," Elliot said to Hayden in a voice filled with suppressed worry.
However, the others heard him clearly.
Hehe! They never imagined that father and son would dare to say such a thing without proof.
"Didn't that man say that he is a man just now?" Hayden was talking about Edward. "He dares to commit the crime but he does not dare admit to it. What sort of man is that? A man that is as timid as a rat is generally called a coward."
Slam!
Edward was furious. He slammed the table and glared at Hayden. He barked, "You brat! Who are you talking about!"
Hayden calmly said, "I'm talking about you three."
Edward and Nick, who were watching the scene unfold, were speechless.
"Hehe! Elliot, did you tell your son to say this?" Edward felt that this was surely Elliot's plan.
Elliot replied, "Yes, I stand by what my son said."
No matter what trouble Hayden caused, Elliot was going to bear the consequences of his son's actions.
Hayden sneered. "I'll say what I want to say, and do what I want to do. I don't need to go through Elliot. Do you think I'm afraid of all of you?"
Edward's face darkened. His anger was raging! A murderous intention rose from the bottom of his heart.
