At that moment, Nathaniel came out of his room and stood by my side. Looking down at Lucas, he admonished him, “Has no one ever taught you assh*les any manners?”
“What did you say? Assh*les? I dare you to say that again!” Triggered by Nathaniel’s insult, Lucas unlocked the safety pin and cocked his gun.
Ignoring him, Nathaniel turned to me and said, “Let’s go and have breakfast.”
Just as he spoke, he calmly walked past Lucas’ gun barrel and headed toward the dining room.
In the end, Lucas didn’t fire.
Only then, did I follow and sit at the dining table with him.
Something must have happened for both of them to come by. Therefore, I made sure not to miss any crucial information at this point in time.
The moment I took my seat, Lucas ranted, “F*ck, all of our men have been captured and this is entirely her fault! If not for her disallowing us to carry guns, our men wouldn’t have been defeated. Da*n it, I demand you do something about this!”
Nathaniel calmly glanced at him before turning his attention to the breakfast that was served. After laying his napkin, he picked up his fork and knife and began eating leisurely.
After swallowing his first mouthful, he continued cutting through his food and explained, “Without lifting a finger, they were easily arrested by the police and had their weapons taken away. No one was hurt throughout. Given how the enemy was defeated without a fight, your daughter has demonstrated how exceptional she is.”
Stunned by his words, I recalled what happened at the club the other day. All I had wanted was for the thugs to dress in suits on the account of the club’s reputation. However, I wasn’t aware that Summer had such a massive plan up her sleeve.
After all, I had assumed that she had changed. Evidently, she was also using her own way to defeat these men, just like Ashton.
“Did you hear me?” Lucas exploded, brandishing his gun. “Listen to me, okay? I don’t care who is the one behind this, I just want both of you to rescue my men!”
