The price of betrayal (Jack and Ashley) novel Chapter 427

Hearing this, Melody gently tugged at Wayne's arm.

But Wayne, boiling with anger, shook off her hand and snapped, "Why are you pulling me? Look at what this rebellious son has done! This is outrageous! If we don't deal with him now, he'll end up in prison sooner or later. A spoiled child becomes a ruined man, and it's all because of your indulgence!"

His words made Melody's eyes redden, and she looked like she was about to cry.

At that moment, Nolan slowly pushed the door open and stepped inside. He fixed his gaze on Wayne and said in a calm but firm voice, "Dad, if you're angry, take it out on me. Don't dump it on Mom."

"And as for kneeling to apologize to him? Is he worthy? Does he even have the guts to ask for it?" Nolan added, his voice sharp with defiance.

Nolan strode directly toward Tyler. Tyler flinched, his panic evident as he shouted, "Nolan, what are you trying to do? This is a hospital! Are you planning to hit me again?

"Fine, go ahead. Hit me! Let's see if you dare. I'll call the cops on you right now!"

He pulled out his phone, his trembling fingers hovering over the screen as he prepared to make the call.

Before he could, Liana stormed over, snatched the phone from his hand, and said coldly, "Tyler, if you dare to call the cops on my brother, we are done. Don't even think about it."

Tyler stared at her in disbelief, his fury rising. "Liana, I'm your husband! Nolan beat me to a pulp, and you're siding with him? What's wrong with you? Are you and your brother ganging up on me? Don't push me too far, or I won't hold back."

Liana, however, was determined to stand her ground. She shot back, her voice sharp and unwavering, "Tyler, I've tolerated your disgusting behavior over the years. I stayed quiet because I didn't want to humiliate either my parents or myself. But you've gone too far this time. Do you really think you're some kind of saint?

"Fine! If you want to make Nolan's life miserable, then don't expect anyone else to live in peace. Call the cops! Go ahead!
