Thinking about all that Izabella had been through – the torture she suffered, her crippled fingers, lying in bed for three months, and her mental state being severely affected – Brett made sure that every blow he landed on Nathaniel hit where it hurt, and he was going all out. This time, Nathaniel was really down to half a life, not even having the strength to speak.
The old butler, trembling inside the house, worried that the brothers would get too carried away and that someone could die.
As he was fretting, Patrick leisurely sipped tea, seemingly unconcerned.
The old butler checked the time - it had been 20 minutes.
"Sir, I'm afraid something bad will happen if we don't intervene."
Patrick looked up slightly and said, "Don't worry, they won't die."
His calm tone seemed like they were just discussing what food to have for dinner. He then stood up and put down his cup.
"Go and call some people over, and get the family doctor as well." In Patrick's view, even if something did happen, no one would die or be disabled; at most, one of them would be disabled for a couple of weeks.
Fighting among the Windham family siblings was a common occurrence and even considered a form of practice.
The old butler hurriedly sent people to the backyard.
Brett, forcing Nathaniel's neck down, slapped him in the head.
"Don't you just want to threaten me? Here's your chance to make a deal."
Nathaniel, unyielding, reached up and grabbed Brett's hair, resulting in a deadlock fight on the ground. Upon hearing the sound of messy footsteps not far away, Nathaniel immediately sobered up and, in a voice only the two of them could hear, said, "Fine, then send Izabella to my bed again, and after I've properly slept with her, I'll delete those videos and photos, and I won't say a word to her about it ever again."
Having said that, Nathaniel smirked, his eyes fearless as if saying, "What can you do to me?"
This statement ignited Brett's rage; he was furious, his scalp numb, his brain buzzing and unable to think. All he had in mind was one thought – kill Nathaniel. And even if Nathaniel leaked those videos and photos, as long as he confined Izabella to the house, she wouldn't see them and wouldn't remember the painful memories of her past.
As Nathaniel's movements slowed down, Brett took the opportunity, without hesitation, to pummel Nathaniel.
When the old butler came with a group of tall bodyguards, they saw the bruised and battered Nathaniel and the furious Brett who was still beating him.
The old butler, alarmed, quickly called people over to stop them.
Brett had good skills, but it is difficult for one to fight multiple opponents, especially when the four bodyguards were professionally trained. It wasn't long before he was restrained.
The old butler hurried over to help Nathaniel up and asked, "Mr. Krueger, are you okay?"
Brett had fought Nathaniel many times before, but he had never used so much force. Although he had a hot temper, he knew when to restrain himself, and he usually held back when fighting.
In front of others, Brett had a pleasant personality, not overly talkative but always with a smile, giving a sense of quiet authority.
Now, as the guards hold him down, Brett's eyes still couldn't hide his anger. What exactly happened to make him this furious?
Nathaniel was carried inside, his other injuries relatively minor compared to the severity of the broken arm.
