In a flash, the office turned into a mess, with blood staining the floor. Having never witnessed scenes like this, Arianne’s legs shook. She forced herself to pull the fighting men apart when she saw Eric being at a disadvantage. “Stop fighting! You’ll only hurt yourself like this! Can’t you guys talk about the issue instead?”
Eric restrained himself from making too big a movement when he saw Arianne coming to them, but it gave the other party the chance to beat him up. With a hard punch, Eric fell to the floor. Screaming, Arianne grabbed a small cactus pot on the office table and smashed it on the man’s head. “Stop it!”
Her slam knocked the man unconscious. It made her shudder, and she didn’t even notice that her palm was pricked by the cactus.
Eric staggered up and guarded her behind him. “Call the police…”
Arianne shook her head. “We can’t call the police… We’ve done this to him. We won’t get away if we call the police…”
Eric was speechless. “He’s the one who came to my company looking for trouble. What we did was proper self-defense. Why wouldn’t we be able to get away? Besides… he’s my second elder brother. Do you think my old man would let me go to jail? Calling the police is only to teach him a lesson!”
Eric’s second elder brother?
