Though James pretended to look unfazed, his legs were already shaking and numb beneath his pants.

Hunter also kept his mouth shut, feeling intimidated by the intense stare.

Bella and Justin were left completely shocked, needing a moment to collect themselves.

'Wow, Asher's protective instinct is truly intense!'

Bella knew Asher's personality better than anyone. He might seem selfish and uninterested, even cold and distant, but in human terms, he just lacked a bit of warmth. Apart from his own family, there was also Steven, who had been by Asher's side for a long time.

Asher typically would not show much concern for anyone else. But at this particular moment, he displayed an unusual level of care for Arnold that was truly surprising.

It was then that Bella happened to catch Arnold looking at her older brother with such warmth and tenderness that it almost seemed weird.

Bella was confused. 'Why is the vibe so weird? Why do they seem a little bit at odds with each other?'

Before Bella could fully grasp it, Hunter expressed his frustration and said, "But there were still some minor injuries. According to our country's laws, even if the injury is found to be minor, it can lead to a prison sentence of up to three years. Steven won't get away with imprisonment!"

Hunter felt an intense desire to shred Steven's name to pieces. It was hard to believe that he was actually Steven's older brother, someone with close family connections. His excessive enjoyment of pleasures and his insatiable appetite for destroying others turned him into a ruthless monster without any sense of guilt.

Asher was not too concerned about Hunter. After all, he was just a minion for the Iverson family. Naturally, Asher wanted to speak with his boss. "Steven didn't lay a finger on Charles from start to finish, even though he really wanted to. I'm the one who beat Charles, as proven by the video."

As he talked, his gaze shifted to Arnold, and his tone softened. "Arnold, can you play the video for me?"
