Chapter 280: Promise

Sebastian noticed Natalie standing on the staircase and quickly looked away, perhaps embarrassed that he had been beaten up by his brother. He was equally tall and well-built like Justin, except his youthful face which showed that he was younger.

It was both sad and comical to see such a grown man sitting quietly in front of his older brother, visibly defeated.

Not wanting to embarrass him further, Natalie decided to retreat to the room. However, Justin, who had noticed Sebastian glancing in her direction, turned his gaze to her and said, "Come here."

Natalie froze in her tracks, looking at Justin, then at Sebastian, who stubbornly refused to meet her eyes.

"I have some work to do," she said, already taking a step back. "You two carry on."

Before Justin could respond, she had already disappeared back into the room.

I thought I was violent with my siblings just by slapping them a few times, but these people... they’re on another level. Poor guy—his handsome face is swollen everywhere.

Meanwhile, in the drawing room...

Justin pulled out his phone, snapped a picture of Sebastian’s beaten-up appearance, and did something with it. Moments later, both his and Sebastian’s phones began ringing with a flood of notifications.

Sebastian picked up his phone, his eyes widening in disbelief as he scrolled through the messages.

"You sent my picture like this to the group?" he asked in shock.

Justin ignored him and read the responses from others, which were satisfying to his senses. It included a few cousins and friends of Justin and Sebastian.

The group, where Sebastian had shared the information of Justin finally having a woman, in that same group Justin had sent an image of beaten-up Sebastian.

All the members who had previously been speculating wildly about Justin’s mysterious woman suddenly went silent. After seeing Sebastian’s state, their tones changed completely—they all knew exactly who must have been responsible for his bruises.

"I don’t know who this beggar is."

"I don’t know this man either."

"I don’t trust whatever he says."

"Yeah, just ignore him."

Sebastian read these messages, his jaw tightening in frustration. He angrily typed back: "I don’t know you all either. Forget about getting any more information from me. I don’t even understand why you’re all scared of him!"
