Chapter 284

He didn't even have time to worry about the blood streaming down his scratched face. Spinning around, he rushed to Garnett Brown's side, his voice tight with concern: "Garnett, are you alright?"

To Nathan, Garnett was more than just Sophia's younger brother. After their parents died when they were children, the siblings had only each other to rely on. Garnett had dropped out of school young to work, making sure Sophia could go on to college without a care.

If Sophia ever found out he hadn't looked after Garnett, Nathan knew it would break her heart.

Besides, Vanessa had always held a deep respect for her uncle. She'd often say, "There's nothing like a mother's brother," and Nathan couldn't agree more.

Garnett had sacrificed his own happiness to care for Vanessa, putting off marriage and any thoughts of a family of his own. Now in his forties, he was still single, no wife, no children—just a life spent in service to his loved ones.

As far as Nathan was concerned, you wouldn't find a brother-in-law like Garnett anywhere else in all of Vesperia.

Nathan rounded on Victor, his voice raw with fury. "Victor, if you've messed up Garnett and he can't have kids because of you, I swear I won't let you off easy!"

Victor couldn't help but laugh in disbelief.

He looked at Nathan like he was the world's biggest fool. "You're worried about him? I saw it with my own eyes-he's been screwing around behind your back. Maybe you should worry about yourself first."
