In Love With My Evil Stepbrother

Chapter 39

Chapter 39: Scheming When we walk into the study, Mr. Ramirez is already expecting us. He seems calm but I still can’t help but feel edgy.

Mom walks in with us and closes the door behind her. She sits down next to me, her lips pressed firmly together, and she seems just as nervous as I am.

“Eason,” Mr. Ramirez turns his eyes toward his son, his voice deep and stern. “I just received a phone call from the hospital. They said that the boy is suffering a server head concussion, internal bleeding, and his rib is broken. Do you have anything to say about this?”

I inhale quietly. This is even worse than I thought.

Yet Eason doesn’t seem to care at all. He lets out a cold sneer and crosses his legs, “serves that bastard just right.”

BANG!

Mr. Ramirez hits the table surface really hard with his hand. I almost cry out in fear but quickly stifle my voice. I cower in my chair, keeping my eyes down.

I know Mr. Ramirez is an intimidating person. Yet I’ve never seen him lost his temper like this before. Now I understand why he is both feared and respected by many people.

“Eason, do you think this is some kind of joke?” Mr. Ramirez stands up looking straight at his son. His face holds a frightening trace of anger that makes me hold my breath involuntarily.” Is this how you solve all kinds of problems? To beat someone to near death right on the street in front of everyone’s eyes? Is this how a Ramirez react facing crisis?”

“Of course not,” Eason replies coldly. “Because beating the shit out of him isn’t enough. I want to see him destroyed, academically, socially, and permanently.”

My heart has jumped to my throat. Before I can stop myself, I’ve blurted out, “No! Eason stop,
