Betrayed, But Not Defeated novel Chapter 104

Bryson watched in disbelief as the thugs he had brought with him were effortlessly taken down. He swallowed hard and asked, "You… What are you going to do?"

"What am I going to do? Didn't you say we needed to settle our score? Well, I'm here. How do you plan on doing that?" Daniel looked at him with a mocking expression.

Bryson's eyes widened in panic. "Don't come any closer. We're family, after all…"

"Family? You think you deserve to use that word?" Daniel kicked him to the ground and stepped on his leg.

Bryson screamed in agony. His body convulsed as he desperately tried to pull his leg from under Daniel's foot. But the more he struggled, the worse the pain became.

"Next time, it won't be as simple as breaking a leg." Daniel fixed him with a cold stare. "Now get lost."

Ignoring the pain, Bryson forced himself to his feet and stumbled away. He didn't even dare to look back.

Daniel had no intention of killing anyone from the Walsh family. Without their help, carrying out his plans would be much more difficult. That was likely the only value they still had to him.

"Did that scare you?" he asked with a smile as he approached Emma.

"No." She shook her head.

Daniel turned to Joshua. "Let your sister stay at the company for now—there's no one else around, anyway."

"Okay," Joshua replied tersely.

The company was deserted after the commotion caused by the Walsh family. But Daniel knew Jennifer's habits and quickly found a stash of snacks in the office.

"I need to talk to your brother. Can you wait here for a while?" Daniel asked warmly.

Emma didn't reply but glanced at her brother.

Joshua's lips curled into a faint smile. "Emma, wait for me here."
