Nathan had been a scoundrel his entire life and had never been afraid of anything.
However, now that he was faced with Elliot's savage, malicious expression, he felt fear for the first time in his lie!
He knew that if he continued to provoke Elliot, he would be beaten to death right there and then.
He immediately swallowed the words that he had wanted to say.
He had a lapse in judgment! He had mistakenly underestimated Elliot's temper! He should not have recklessly shown up here like this.
All he wanted right now was to be able to walk out of there alive.
"Mrs. Scarlet! My ribs are broken! Hurry and call 911!" Nathan did not dare speak to Elliot, so he howled at Mrs. Scarlet instead.
Mrs. Scarlet saw Nathan lying on the ground with his bloody face and twitching body and got so scared that she began to search for her phone to call 911.
"Don't go soft on this b*st*rd, Mrs. Scarlet!" Elliot roared loudly.
Mrs. Scarlet immediately snapped out of her daze. "Get the bodyguards to throw him out, Master Elliot! I won't ever let him step foot in the mansion again!"
Elliot shot a signaling look at the bodyguard.
The bodyguard quickly approached Nathan and dragged him outside by the arm.
As Elliot watched Nathan's pitiful face as he was being dragged out, he ordered the bodyguard cold-bloodedly, "Throw him out further away!"
Moments later, the living room returned to its earlier calm.
Mrs. Scarlet carried a bucket of water from the bathroom and began to clean up the blood on the floor with a rag.
She apologized to Elliot as she cleaned. "I was being unprofessional, Master Elliot. When he said he used to work with me at the old mansion, I invited him into the mansion. It's my fault that I didn’t recognize him right away—"
Elliot's mood had yet to calm down. "Did he say what he came here for?"
