Chapter 42 Ryan exploded in frustration, "I want to go abroad too! I need to find my mom!" Thud! Roland tapped the baseball bat lightly on the floor, saying nothing.
The room fell into silence.
Ryan knew his brother well; despite his composed exterior, Roland was a force to be reckoned with. Their parents wouldn't always be there to shield him, and Ryan realized he couldn't afford to act out right now.
Seeing Ryan fall silent, Roland grabbed him by the arm and hauled him over to Mila.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtWith a firm tone, he said, "Apologize." Ryan glared at Mila, his anger boiling over. He wanted to spit at her, not apologize. This was the swoman he used to mock, but today, she had witnessed his humiliation. He gritted his teeth, catching a glimpse of the bat in his brother's grip.
He muttered, "I'm sorry." Mila remained unmoved.
Roland tightened his grip on Ryan's collar and raised the bat slightly.
Ryan quickly shouted, "I'm sorry! I shouldn't have pushed you! I promise it won't happen again!" His voice was filled with humiliation, his eyes flushed with rage.
Mila was inwardly delighted but maintained a composed demeanor, offering a slight nod to accept his apology.
After the apology, Roland casually released his brother, who stumbled onto the floor.
"There's one more thing," Roland said, focusing on his brother. "As for Giselle from the Harvey family, you should keep your distance." "Why should I?" Ryan protested. He could tolerate other things, but not being with Giselle, the girl he liked. "Brother, I can agree to everything else, but Giselle is my personal matter. You shouldn't interfere!" Roland smirked, "You're too naive. She'll outsmart you. Don't let yourself get eaten alive and then hand her your wallet with a smile." Ryan retorted fiercely, "Giselle isn't like that!" As Roland seemed to be teaching his brother a lesson, Mila decided it was tto excuse herself. Before she could speak, Roland interjected: "Ms. Sutherland, please have a seat. I'm sure there are things you'd like to discuss with me, aren't there?" Seeing that Roland didn't mind her witnessing the family , and indeed having questions of her own, Mila settled onto the sofa, staying silent.
Roland shifted his focus away from Ryan and Giselle. He made a phone call, and soon several security personnel in black suits entered.
"Escort the young master to the hospital for treatment. If he tries to get out of the car, break his leg and take him there anyway. I authorize it." "Understood, sir." Ryan, unable to protest, was taken away by the guards.
