Ryan''s hair stood the moment Be''s brother showed up.


    Though highly revered in the underworld, Ryan became small in the face of Drew. Plus, Drew was


    Be''s brother. There was no way Ryan would want to hurt him.


    "I''m sorry... Mr. Hoffman. Yasmin heaved heavily and looked at Ryan, ming 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 nonchntly.


    "Am I that stupid?"


    Ryan had nothing to say.


    He knew Yasmin''s loyaltyy 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 Be''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.


    "Be and Justin are here, right?"


    The room was a haven of tranquility.


    Noticing the bruise on Justin''s face, Be 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 t on your face. Are you that silly?"


    Be was flushed with rage. "Did Wyatt and my brothers beat you up when you came to my ce two


    days ago?" Justin exined, "No. Not at all..."


    "It was them! You served in the army. You would tie with Drew in a fight. I doubt they could harm you


    unless you stood there and just took it."


    As her eyes welled up, Be reached for his face but was afraid to hurt him. "Of all the ces to hit


    you, why your face? They''re so mean." Justin''s eyes reflected tenderness. The pain was thest thing


    on his mind.


    However, Justin teared up with joy, sadness, and remorse because Be cared so much about him. He


    grabbed her hand and refused to let her go. "That''s not important, Be. Nothing matters more than


    you being here with me."


    Justin felt a lump in his throat.


    Be tearfully plunged headfirst into his arms and held him tight. "I''m back, Justin. I don''t ever want to


    leave you again."


    A flurry of hurried knocks erupted at the door.


    "Justin! Be! Open the door!"


    Be and Justin exchanged nces. "Carrie?"


    Justin picked Be up from bed and helped her to the door. They swung the door open.


    Panicked, Carrie still had buttercream on her cheek. "Justin! Be! A bad guy hase to catch you."


    "A bad guy?" The couple was taken aback.


    Drew emerged behind Carrie, his eyes exuding aloofness.


    "Be."


    "D-Drew..."


    Be turned white and shouted, "Close the door, Justin!"


    Even though Justin prided himself on hisposure, his mind went ck at the sight of Drew.


    Carrie snapped out of her trance and closed the door in a hurry.Exclusive content from N?velDrama.Org.
