Chapter 726:

Instead of avoiding him, she walked straight toward him.

Brian, as direct as ever, wasted no time getting to the point. “I don’t regret hitting him,” he said flatly. “He let you down. If anything, I went easy on him. I didn’t think he’d be so fragile—just a few hits, and his nose was already broken.”

Rachel’s anger flared. “Oh, so I’m supposed to thank you for not hitting him harder?”

Seeing Rachel’s frustration, Brian quickly backed down. “Alright, alright, it’s my fault. If it bothers you that much, I won’t hit him next time.”

But instead of calming her down, his choice of words only made her angrier. She crossed her arms and glared at him. “What do you mean by ‘if it bothers me’? That’s not the point! Resorting to violence is wrong, no matter what.”

Brian muttered under his breath, frustration creeping into his voice. “But Trey hit me too. Why don’t you say anything to him? You’re obviously taking his side.”

Rachel was so exasperated she didn’t even know how to respond.
