True Love Deserves a Second Chance by Nox Shadow

Chapter 216 He is Nye

"Beatrice, gritting her teeth, snapped, ""Who she is is none of your concern. How I treat her is none of your business. If it weren't for your connection with Theodore, do you think the Taylor Family would let you off so easily for treating Connie that way? You're not welcome here. Leave now, or I'll have the bodyguards throw you out!""

Benjamin, equally furious, grabbed a broom and swung it at Darren.

"""I warned you last time, insult my daughter again, and I won't let it slide. My little princess, whom I've cherished since she was a child, is not for you to insult!"" He struck Darren on the back with the broom.

Though the blow itself wasn't particularly painful, the humiliation it carried stung. Darren wanted to fight back but was intimidated by Sebastian's cold stare.

Darren clenched his fists in anger and glared at Benjamin. ""You better hope I don't find your weakness, or I'll destroy you!""

Sebastian looked at him coldly. ""Try it. See if you make it out of here in one piece.""

Darren was so angry he nearly ground his teeth to dust. He pointed at Theodore and cursed, ""You see me getting beaten, but you don't say a word. Theodore, you're really something. You and Sebastian are in cahoots. He dares to put his mother under house arrest, and you want to do it to me!""

Theodore looked at him expressionlessly. ""If you dare to go after Joyce again, it's not out of the question.""

"Joyce again! What did Joyce ever do to you all? Sebastian and you do so much for her. Fine, just you wait. One day, I'll make you all regret it!"" With that, Darren stormed off.

Benjamin, still fuming, couldn't swallow the insult of Darren repeatedly cursing Joyce. He turned and shouted at Baxter, ""Baxter, this man bullied your mom. Scare him a bit.""

Baxter darted out quickly, barking furiously as he charged at Darren.

Baxter bit his pant leg and yanked hard. Darren, terrified, started running, but the faster he ran, the harder Baxter chased him.
