Chapter 71 Change of Target

Seeing Herbert's behavior was too much, Tony, being the hothead he was, couldn't just stand by and watch his mom get humiliated. He stormed forward, shouting, "What the hell, man? Let go of my mom, or I'll bash your head in!" Tony grabbed a wine bottle and charged at Herbert, but Herbert's goons quickly pinned him to the dining table. Brian and Brenda saw their son being restrained and instantly freaked out.

Brian, all nervous, said, "Herbert, I'm sorry. My son is young and doesn't know better. This has nothing to do with the kids. Please, let them go. We can talk this out."

"Yeah, let them go first," Brenda added, even though she was still humiliated, she was more worried about the kids.

Herbert gave Brenda a sleazy smile and said, "Alright, I'll let them go, but you have to spend the night with me."

"This..." Brenda looked at Brian and the kids, feeling totally stuck.

Brian was furious, but as a law-abiding businessman, he was no match for Herbert. When he tried to stand up to him, Herbert's men slapped him.
