“What did you say?” 

Arnold’s face turned pale as heroared, “Gideon was crippled by Eric? How did this happen? Did you instigate it?” 

Feeling aggrieved, Elara protested, “Dad, it has nothing to do with me! Gideon was too arrogant. He hit Eric, so Eric brought a bunch of his men to the bar. I don’t know what happened after that, but I’m sure Gideon didn’t come out unscathed. He was probably crippled.” 

“Why didn’t you take Gideon with you when you ran? He’s your husband! How could you leave him there to be beaten up and turned into a cripple? How could I have such cold–blooded daughter?” 

“Dad, I don’t love Gideon, and he’s not good enough for me. Stop calling him my husband. Now that he’s crippled, I won’t spend my life with a cripple. I’ll divorce him immediately!” 

“You insolent girl!” 

Arnold was so furious that he slapped Elara across the face 

After striking her, Arnold regretted it instantly. He had never hit her before–not even once. This was the first time. 

Elara stood there stunned. Tears welled up in her eyes. Sobbing, she ran out of the villa. 

“Ella!” 

Arnold felt a headache coming on. 

Outside, Elara ran right into Gideon. 

“Ouch! Who goes there? Can’t you see where you’re–Gideon! Why are you here?” 

Elara was dumbfounded. 

Gideon shrugged. “Why wouldn’t I be here? I’m the Seymour family’s son–in–law, right? I believe I have the right to come back here, don’t I?” 

“Gideon!” 

Arnold heard the commotion and rushed out. 

He examined Gideon from head to toe, making sure he was unscathed before sighing with relief. 

“Gideon, Elara said Eric had crippled you! I was worried sick. Thank goodness you’re alright.” 

“Sorry to make you worry, Dad.” 

Seeing Arnold’s concerned expression and the red mark on Elara’s face, Gideon began to piece together what had happened. A faint warmth spread through his heart, 

Elara, still in disbelief, said, “This is impossible! Eric had so many men with him. They had you cornered in the private room. How did you manage to escape?” 

Gideon responded calmly, “They were just a bunch of useless people. I knocked them down and walked out.” 

“What? You’re telling me you single–handedly took on over a dozen men? Are you kidding me? Do you think you’re some kind of war hero?” 

“Feel free to choose whether or not you believe me,” Gideon said. He couldn’t be bothered to explain further.

Chapter 11 

Arnold led him inside the house, and Elara followed them in 

Gideon, I’m not trying to lecture you, but the Gross family has grown quite powerful in recent years. Since you hit Eric, they won’t take this matter lightly,” Arnold warned. “But don’t worry. You’re my son–in–law. I won’t stand by and do nothing. 

“For the time being, you can either lay low and avoid drawing attention, or you can come to work with me. That way, I can keep you safe.”
