She's Too Busy Winning to Watch Him Cry novel Chapter 538

Caspian blinked.

He had never truly entertained the thought of hurting Rowan. The Jamesons had raised him, and aside from the lingering resentment regarding his teacher, he had never harbored any lethal malice toward Rowan or the family.

He never expected to hear such words from Lyra. Was this still the gentle, sweet Lyra he knew?

Caspian stared at her, completely stunned.

"You want to kill me?"

Rowan had silently ascended to the second floor at some point. He stood in the doorway, radiating a freezing aura, while a roaring wildfire of absolute rage ignited in his pitch-black eyes.

Lyra jolted in terror, instinctively dropping Caspian's hand. Rowan closed the distance in long, furious strides. Before Caspian could react, Rowan swung a brutal punch straight into his face.

A dull thud echoed through the room. Caught completely off guard, Caspian stumbled backward, a trickle of blood immediately seeping from the corner of his mouth.

The strike carried devastating force. Half of Caspian's face swelled instantly as the metallic taste of blood filled his mouth. Before he could even regain his footing, Rowan lunged forward, grabbed him by the collar, and slammed him viciously to the floor.

"What are you doing!" Lyra trembled violently, rushing forward to grab Rowan's arm, but he violently shoved her away. She stumbled back, her spine hitting the edge of the desk.

"Don't touch me." Rowan's voice was hoarse, his gaze sweeping over her with nothing but profound disgust and disappointment. "Conspiring with my own brother to murder me. You really are something."

His chest heaved erratically as he raised his fist and drove another punishing blow into Caspian's stomach.

Caspian curled up in agony, yet he stubbornly refused to yield, glaring defiantly back up at him.

The continuous sounds of the brawl echoed downstairs, prompting Charles's face to pale as he rushed up the steps.

As soon as he entered, he saw Caspian battered on the floor, bleeding from the mouth, his cheek badly swollen, while Rowan towered over him, fist raised for another strike.
