Chapter 496
Clarence reacted quickly and rushed forward to pull Steven, whose
eyes were red from anger, off Hunter. Then he hugged Steven tightly
from the back.
“Steve! Have you gone mad?! How could you punch your brother?!”
“Mad… He’s fucking crazy!”
Hunter got up from the ground, clutching his face. “He’s becoming a
monster who doesn’t even recognize his own family because of that
Thompson girl!”
“The one who’s becoming a monster isn’t me… It’s you, Hunter!”
Steven roared.
“That’s enough! Both of you, shut up!” Neil held his wife and roared at
his two sons.
Mrs. Lovett had never seen her children like this before, so she was
very anxious.
“Steve, I already heard about Hunter helping the Salvadors. Don’t
blame him. He’s just doing his job as their lawyer.” Clarence was
stuck playing the mediator. He was afraid they would start fighting if
he took anyone’s side, even just a little.

Steven walked out without saying another word, bruises blooming on
his face.
“Steve! Where are you going?!” Mrs. Lovett yelled worriedly.
“Ha… Where else could he be going? Isn’t he just hurrying back to
serve his Ms. Bella?!”
Hunter had never suffered such humiliation before. Since there were
no outsiders around, he felt free to say the most hurtful things to Steven. “I don’t think the Thompsons’
darling can sleep well at night
without our Steve.”
“You-bastard! I won’t let you insult Ms. Bella like that!”
Steven was so angry that his eyes turned bloodshot. They could also
hear the crack of his knuckles as he clenched his fists.
If not for Clarence, who was holding Steven back, Steven would
definitely have punched Hunter again.
“Hunt! You’re not allowed to disrespect Ms. Bella like that!”
Neil could not bear to listen anymore either and quickly walked up to stand between them, imposing an
invisible pressure on them.
Neither of you are allowed to leave this house tonight. Go and stand in my study! Clarence, bring the
whip over later. I’ll be disciplining your two according to the family rules!”
Hunter and Steven were shocked.
Helplessly, Steven could only comply. “Yes, Dad.”
Mrs. Lovett wanted to talk them down, but her husband was the head
of the family, and she had never succeeded before, so she could only
stand aside and sigh.
“Steven, did you throw the first punch?” Neil asked sternly with
furrowed brows.
“Yes, Dad.”
“Hurry up and apologize to your brother.”
Steven’s fists were still clenched tightly, and his blood was still
boiling. His anger had not dissipated at all. “Dad, I’m willing to acce
the punishment for what I did earlier. But there is no way I’ll apologi
to him, even if you ask me to. From now on, if he dares say anythin disrespectful about Ms. Bella, I’ll
give him one punch every time he
does it. And I’ll keep doing it until he remembers his lesson!”
“Steven!” Hunter was about to blow his fuse at his befuddled little
brother.
Neil had never expected his youngest son, who had always been the
most well-behaved, to get so angry over Bella Thompson to the point
he raised his hand against his own family. Neil felt a little glum.
Right then, their housekeeper hurriedly came to report. “Mr. Lovett, Chairman Thompson’s secretary is
here!”

set aside their family issues for the
moment.
Quentin walked in with a smile and could tell at a glance that.
something was off.
When he spotted the bruises on the two young men’s faces,
realization dawned on him, but he only spoke of business. “Mr.
Lovett, Chairman Thompson would like to invite you and your family
to Yara Park to have dinner together. We hope you can grace us with your presence. Chairman
Thompson has not seen Young Master Hunter and Young Master Clarence in a very long time either.
It’s rare
for your whole family to be back here in Hatchbay, so he wants to
invite you over to catch up.”
“Got it. Thanks for making the trip, Quentin. We’ll definitely be there on time!” Neil smiled politely.
After seeing Quentin off, the atmosphere once again became ten
“I’m not going.”
Hunter refused decisively and clenched his jaw as he turned around.
I just got back from a trip overseas, and I’m very tired, so I’m heading
up to rest first.”
“You’re not allowed!”
Neil said angrily, “Who do you think you are to dare to snub Chairman Thompson? Even if your leg is
broken, you’d better hop on over to the Thompsons’ home!”
