Alex called himself a good friend of Brad. Did good friends mock each other like this?
Alex completely ignored Brad's scornful expression and continued, "Come on, apart from Nadine, I can't think of anyone else who could get close enough to you. The only person who would beat you up like this is Nadine. I'm absolutely sure that it was Nadine who hit you."
When Alex said this, he was absolutely confident and full of conviction.
Brad shot a fierce glare at Alex, turned his face away, and said nothing. Nadine truly had no mercy when she hit him earlier. She didn't hold back at all.
Nadine was a woman, and the Hamiltons never hit women. If it weren't for that principle, Brad would've pinned her down and rubbed her face against the ground.
Seeing that Brad wasn't speaking, Alex knew that he had hit the mark. He stood up purposefully and circled Brad, looking him up and down. "Well? What did you do to offend Nadine?
"She's known for having a good temper. So if you pushed her to the point of hitting you, you must've done something awful. Come on, tell me. What did you do to make her so mad?"
When Brad maintained his silence, Alex urged, "Spill it. Let me have a good laugh."
Brad was a cold-hearted and impassive-faced man. He was icy toward everyone, likely due to his naturally indifferent personality. He rarely cared about women's feelings in relationships. Most of the time, it was women who rushed to cajole him.
For Nadine to abandon love and beat Brad so mercilessly, he had to have done something extraordinary.
Brad couldn't stand the smug look on Alex's face. He lifted his leg and kicked Alex's other calf—this time with full force.
The pain made Alex jump.
While massaging his calf, Alex snapped at Brad, "Brad, we're supposed to be best friends. You were the one who called me here because you're in trouble.
