Chapter 254

“Apologize?!” Justin roared sullenly. “This is a boxing gym and he voluntarily asked for a match. I’m not responsible for the fact that he became injured and fell to the ground. Ask him whether he understands these rules!”

“Well, you were too ruthless! It’s not like you’re in a competition!”

“How am I not in a competition?” he retorted self-righteously. “He lost, so he has to leave you alone from today onward!”

Rachel stared at him in shock.

Even Hernandez, who was still in her arms, had to pause before he immediately changed tactics and moaned, “It hurts, Chris!”

“Where?” She came back to her senses and answered, “Let me take you to the hospital.”

“Okay.”

“Hold up!” An annoyed Justin stepped in front of them to block their way before he questioned Hernandez, “Have you forgotten what you said?”

Despite being a tall adult man, Hernandez continued to moan as he cowered in Rachel’s shadow.

As she stood protectively in front of him, she said sternly, “Let me repeat this, Justin. I’m a person, not an item. It’s childish and ridiculous that you’re using me as a wager for a competition in the first place. Also, there’s no winning or losing when it comes to feelings!” With that, she left while still supporting Hernandez’s weight.

Justin stood rooted to the spot and clenched his fists so hard that his knuckles cracked.

After an interminable amount of time, a young voice spoke up behind him. “I told you it would be hard to pursue my mom.”

A frowning Justin turned to glare at Samuel before asking impatiently, “Why are you still here?”

“To see how pathetic you look.”

“Excuse me?!”

As Samuel folded his arms across his chest, he disdainfully took measure of Justin before continuing, “Look at you-you’re handsome, but you don’t know how to use it to your advantage. You’re so silly. Hernandez is smarter than you-he only had to moan in pain a few times before my mom left with him.”

“He was faking it!”

“So? Aren’t you faking it?”

The wound on Justin’s back had cracked upon a long time ago, which colored his bandages red. Hernandez did not deliver a light punch either-the traces of blood on the corners of Justin’s mouth had yet to dry.

Yet, Justin had wanted to win the fight so badly that he was unwilling to show his weakness in front of outsiders.

“He’s faking an injury whereas you’re faking being fine!” Samuel spread his arms as he shook his head. “There’s no hope for you, you stupid oaf.”
