Chapter 13


    “Leyton!” Yoel swiftly stepped forward to support Leyton. After checking thetter’s arm over, he


    concluded that his arm was broken and would only recover in a few months. “How dare you hurt my


    son, you b*stard? I’m going to kill you!” Due to the wedding, he had merely nned to teach Jared a


    lesson initially. But right then, only one thought remained in his mind—to kill the man. Otherwise, he


    would be thoroughly humiliated before the many merchants in Horington present there.


    Whipping out his phone, he summoned all the bodyguards at home, all martial artists whom he had


    spent a king’s ransom to hire. Hence, they were far more skilled than Baldy and hisckeys, who were


    just ruffians hanging around Leyton to ingratiate themselves to him. Despite seeing Yoel make a call to


    gather his men, Jared wasn’t in the least bit panicked. Instead, he sat back down and picked his ss


    of water up, sippingnguidly.


    That further inmed Yoel as Jared clearly hadn’t any respect for the Scott family. “Kill him, Dad! I want


    him dead!” Leyton, whose arm was broken, roared with his face contorted. “Don’t worry, Leyton. I’ll


    definitely toss him into the river today for the fishes to feast on!” Yoel swore as he gazed at his son in


    anguish. Knowing that Jared was quite skilled, he didn’t act immediately but waited for his bodyguards


    to arrive. Just then, the door of the banquet hall was pushed open, and Josephine walked in briskly to


    see who exactly was kicking up a fuss there.


    “What happened, Mr. Scott?” Josephine asked Yoel as soon as she stepped in. “This kid dared to


    cause a scene during my son’s wedding and even injure him. As such, there’ll be a bloodbath at your


    hotel today,” Yoel answered, pointing at Jared, who was drinking water at the table. When Josephine


    swung her gaze over, she was wholly stupefied. Never in her wildest dreams had she ever thought that


    the troublemaker would be Jared and that he hadn’t yet left. “Mr. Chance? How could it be you?”


    Josephine inquired with puzzlement etched on her face.


    “Are you surprised, Ms. Sullivan?” Jared shed her a smile. “You’re acquainted with him, Josephine?”


    Yoel’s brows furrowed. “Mr. Scott, there’s probably some mix-up. Mr. Chance is here to treat my father.


    All this must be a misunderstanding!” Josephine rified. “Treat your father?” Yoel’s frown deepened


    further. “Who are you? And what nonsense are you spouting? This fellow doesn’t have any medical


    skills at all! He was just released from prison today!


    Let me tell you that he knows nothing of that sort! I’ve known him for many years, and I’ve never seen


    him treating anyone. Don’t be fooled by him!” Sandy shrieked at Josephine. Josephine’s expression


    went chilly in a sh. But seeing the wedding gown on Sandy, she knew that the woman was the new


    bride of the Scott family, so she stifled her anger and asserted, “I can decide for myself whether it’s


    true.


    The fact that you’ve never seen it doesn’t mean that he doesn’t have any medical skills!” “What a load


    of crap! How could I possibly not know his capabilities? We were ssmates for four years during


    university, and we dated for many years then. Even when I was sick, I had to go to the hospital. It was


    raining heavily once, and he was the one who carried me there on his back! If he had medical skills,


    would I have had to go to the hospital?”

    Sandy wore a contemptuous expression on her face. In her eyes, Jared wasn’t worth a dime. Upon


    hearing that, Josephine nced at Jared. She seemingly understood why he was making trouble at the


    wedding. “Don’t interfere in this matter, Josephine. I’ll get an expert from abroad to treat your father. But


    today, this kid must die!” Yoel dered, his tone leaving no room for negotiation. He was older than


    Josephine, so he naturally didn’t have to be courteous to her. “No, you can’t hurt Mr. Chance!” In a


    trice, Josephine moved to stand in front of Jared.


    I’m still counting on him to save Dad, so I can’t just watch as they make a move against him! Yoel’s


    expression turned cial. “Are you forcing my hand, Josephine?” A murderous intent glinted in his


    eyes. No sooner had his words fallen than dozens of bodyguards from the Scott family barged in, all


    radiating an oppressive aura. When Yoel saw that they had arrived, the look in his eyes grew all the


    colder as he stared at Jared. “Mr. Scott, no matter what, I can’t allow you to hurt Mr. Chance!”


    Right after Josephine finished speaking, more than a dozen hotel security guards rushed in and


    shielded her. The atmosphere in the banquet hall instantly became tense, and many guests retreated


    to a safe distance in fear that they would be caught in the crossfire when the fight broke out. “Girl, I can


    kill you anytime if it weren’t for your father’s sake! Step aside right this moment! Do you think you can


    stop me with these measly security guards?”


    Livid, Yoel no longer showed Josephine any courtesy. Following his words, the dozens of bodyguards


    from the Scott family unleashed their menacing auras. Just that alone petrified the dozen security


    guards so much that they went as white as a sheet. Josephine also went a shade paler, but she


    remained standing before Jared with resolve in her eyes.


    “Scott, don’t you think you’re going too far to scare a child when you’re already up in years?” At that


    exact moment, the door of the banquet hall swung open once more, and William walked in with a trace


    of displeasure on his face.
