"Are you done? If that's all you're here to say, then
get lost. Don't be an eyesore." Dustin waved his hand in
annoyance, clearly showing no respect for them at all.
"You-
" Autumn was about to launch into a new tirade when Spring raised his han
d and interjected. "Enough! Torben started this and is the
one at fault. It's only fair for him to apologize."
"Spring!" Autumn's brow furrowed deeply.
"What? Have you forgotten what Dad said?" Spring gave him the side eye, s
lightly upset.
"I …" Autumn gritted his teeth but remained silent in the end.
Spring gave a nod. "Torben, apologize to the person you beat up and bring
this matter to an end."
"I–
I'm sorry." Torben gritted out the words with difficulty as he laid on th
e stretcher. Since the odds were against him, he did as ordered. This was
more important before he could rest and recover properly.
"Are you satisfied now, kid?" Autumn's expression was dark.
"No." Dustin shook his head. "There's no sincerity. I want him to kneel."
"Don't push your fucking luck!" Autumn spat out. They'd humiliated themse
lves already by apologizing in
public. Getting them to kneel was going too far.
"Kneel!" Spring suddenly raised his voice.
Autumn's eyes widened in shock. "Spring?"
"Someone help Torben get on his
knees." Autumn gestured, wanting to get things over with quickly.
Soon, a few people carried Torben off the stretcher and dropped him on th
e ground, getting him on his knees. It aggravated his wounds, and his fac
e contorted in agony as he howled in pain. Autumn could only glare fierce
ly at Dustin, unable to utter a word even though he was enraged.
Spring asked calmly, "Dustin, would that do it?"
"One more thing." Dustin shook his head.
"What would that be?" Spring responded.
Instead of responding to him, Dustin turned to Abigail and said, "Kid, th
is is the guy that beat your dad up into that state. He's right in front
of you now. It's time to get your revenge."
Abigail was silent, but she gave Torben a death glare, her eyes burning w
ith rage.
Dustin comforted her. "Don't hold back. Take the anger you are feeling no
w out on him."
Abigail's hand slowly formed into a fist. Traces of internal energy were
welling up within her. After a while, she relaxed her fingers.
"Hmph, at least you know your place." Autumn smiled proudly at the sight.
"Not anyone dares touch the Hill family. If you dare touch a hair on my
boy, then-
Before he finished his sentence, a clear, loud slap resonated through the
room. Abigail had landed a heavy slap on Torben's face. She had put all
her strength into that slap, causing Toben to lose his balance and fall h
ead–first to the ground.
Autumn was stunned.
Patrick was stunned.
Mike was stunned.
Nina was also stunned.
Everyone at the scene was frozen to their spots, their faces etched with
disbelief. Nobody expected Abigail to actually raise a hand against Torbe
n. Not only that, she had given him a solid slap in public.
That brat must not want to l
