“We just…” Candice hesitated, glancing at Marcus, hoping he’d come up with a more reasonable excuse.

“You just love manipulating and controlling those weaker than you, women and kids,” Jeffrey said, his voice icy, never showing a hint of emotion. “It’s all about your twisted need to feel powerful.”

Marcus’s face instantly turned grim. “Bastard, watch your mouth.”

Jeffrey didn’t acknowledge him at all and just strode straight toward Rebecca.

Marcus couldn’t stand being ignored in front of outsiders, and his temper snapped. “You can protect her today, but you can’t shield her forever.”

“I won’t ever let anything like this happen to her again, not as long as I’m alive,” Jeffrey said, pausing mid–step, each word clear and forceful. “If you dare lay a finger on her again, I’ll give up the Hanson Group to Stephen.”

“You…” Marcus was genuinely stunned by how unyielding Jeffrey was.

‘Just for a woman? Is he really willing to risk the Hanson Group for her?‘ Marcus thought, disbelief and frustration swirling in his mind.

“Gregory,” Jeffrey said, his voice cold as ice. “Do to Mr. Marcus Hanson what he did to Rebecca earlier. If he dies, I’ll take the fall.”

“Yes, sir,” Gregory said, sounding almost eager.

Marcus’s face drained of color. “You wouldn’t dare.”

But Gregory proved he absolutely dared. He shoved Marcus into the pool, pressed him down, and held him under. Marcus was helpless, choking and gulping mouthfuls of water as he struggled to break free.

Candice watched anxiously as Marcus thrashed desperately in the water, her voice rising with panic. “Jeffrey, he’s still your father. How can you treat him like this just for a woman?”

“You should be glad you only watched and didn’t join in,” Jeffrey replied coldly. “Otherwise, you’d be the one drowning in there, too.”
