“You feel so slighted that I called out her name while making out with another person, but you don’t mind that she has been married before? She is not some pure, innocent virgin, you know!”
That finally got Nathan to stop in his tracks.
Seizing this opportunity, Brinleigh sprinted forward and caught up with him.
“Regardless of your feelings for her, I’m telling you that it isn’t wise to cut off all your connections with the Hernandez family for just one woman.
I admit, we had a lot of setbacks due to the scandal, but our business has a solid foundation. It’s still standing. Over time, everyone is going to move on, and business will pick up again. Why are you refusing us one simple favor? Wouldn’t it be to your advantage as well, for us to maintain our business relationship?”
Nathan narrowed his eyes, his body thrumming with a murderous aura.
Instead of acknowledging Brinleigh, he held out his hand.

“Sonny.”
Sonny immediately understood. He handed the umbrella over to Nathan, clenched his fist, and punched Brinleigh square in the face.
Caught off-guard and just generally weak, Brinleigh fell back and crumpled to the ground. His cheek was already swelling, and he felt two of his teeth loosen up.
He spat out a mouthful of blood and looked up at Nathan in confusion.
Nathan pocketed his free hand and looked down at his pathetic prey.
“Listen well, Brinleigh. You had better stay far away from me in the future, or I assure you, you will get a good beating every time I lay my eyes on you.”

“Why? Just because I said something inappropriate about Lucinda?”
Nathan scowl deepened.
Sonny took this as his cue and landed a kick on Brinleigh’s stomach.
Brinleigh wailed in pain, clutched his abdomen, and curled into himself.
Nathan’s lips twitched. It was only by a small degree, but he found some relief in seeing the other man writhe in pain.
“You expect me to grant your family a favor? Maintain a relationship?
You must have misunderstood. The Hernandez family will soon be reduced to nothing. What a shame for them to have you as their son.
To think that the Hernandez family used to stand side by side with the Payne family, touted as the four most powerful forces in the city. If you think you can recover from this, then you are dreaming a fool’s dream.”
Brinleigh let out a furious growl.
“Don’t go too far, Nathan! You might want to turn your arrogance down a few notches. What goes up comes down eventually. I can’t wait to witness your inevitable downfall!”
Nathan ignored his rants and held out his hand to Sonny once more.
