Ryan’s hair stood the moment Bella’s brother showed up.
Though highly revered in the underworld, Ryan became small in the face of Drew. Plus, Drew was Bella’s brother. There was no way Ryan would want to hurt him.
“I’m sorry… Mr. Hoffman. Yasmin heaved heavily and looked at Ryan, blaming herself for losing control of the situation.
Ryan swallowed hard and shouted urgently, “Don’t do anything rash. I’m sure the young heir of the Thompsons won’t hit a woman.”
“So I should just stand here, take a beating like a man, and let her kill me?” Drew yawned nonchalantly. “Am I that stupid?”
Ryan had nothing to say.
He knew Yasmin’s loyalty lay with him. Yasmin would take drastic actions to punish those who were against Ryan.
“But you’re right. I don’t hit women.”
Drew released his hold on Yasmin and looked up. “You should thank your lucky stars that you’re a woman. Otherwise, I would’ve broken your arms.”
“Bastard!” A proud individual like Yasmin could not take the humiliation lying down. With a menacing look, she pulled a punch, but Ryan stopped her.
“Stop it, Yasmin! He’s Ms. Thompson’s brother.”
Yasmin paused and pulled herself back.
Brother?
The untamed man turned out to be Bella’s brother and an heir of the Thompson family.
Drew cheekily stuck his tongue out at a dazed Yasmin before turning to Ryan. His gaze was piercing.
“Bella and Justin are here, right?”
…
The room was a haven of tranquility.
Noticing the bruise on Justin’s face, Bella cupped his face angrily and heart-wrenchingly. “Who did this to you? Tell me.”
“I fell when I was on my way to you.” Justin smiled bitterly while putting his hands over hers. He caressed her hands gently.
“As if you fell flat on your face. Are you that silly?”
