Not One, But Two!

Chapter 265

Seeing that they did not take him seriously, Hugh suddenly raised his hand and dislocated Abigail's shoulder.

His action caught Greg off guard because he did not expect that Hugh would harm Abigail at all. Abigail was sweating profusely in pain, but she didn't make a sound.

She knew that Greg was suffering more than her.

Sure enough, Greg's eyes turned red at the sight.

"Hugh Romero, you will die by my hands today!"

Hugh visibly let down his guard a little after dislocating Abigail's shoulder.

He knew how skillful Abigail was. If she had gone all out, he was not certain that he could defeat her. Therefore, the current situation was most beneficial for him.

After he dislocated her shoulder, all she had to do was to fix it back. It wouldn't affect her in the future, but she would have to suffer for now.

Being who he was, Hugh thought he was already gracious enough for not killing Abigail right away.

Seeing Greg's red eyes, he suddenly felt a sense of pleasure.

"I don't know if I'll die today, but you certainly will. Take another step, and I will break her neck. Do it if you don't believe me." Hugh smiled evilly, causing hatred to form in Abigail's eyes.

This man was insane!

At the same time, she was quite worried about Greg. Greg glanced at Abigail and knew that she was worried about him, but he uttered indifferently, "What do you want? Just come at me! I will freaking surrender to you if I even bat an eyelid!"

Even at this point, he maintained his integrity.

If Abigail continued begging Hugh to let Greg go, or asking him not to threaten Greg, that would only serve to excite Hugh even more.

Therefore, she simply shut up, but she swore that she would make him pay back for what he did to Greg.

While Abigail was trembling with the slight pain, she shut her eyes in order to not see Greg's discomfiture.

Eventually, she still got him involved.

What kind of physique did this man have?

It took others six hours for a normal human being to regain consciousness, but it only took him a short time. He even managed to catch up with her without hesitation.

She had met countless fools in her life, but he was the most foolish of all.

He wasn't even aware of where he was headed to. Just because she was here, he plunged in head first, not even considering that Peter had a personal grudge against him. Content is © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.

Despite that, she could not fathom why there was a trace of uncontrollable joy surging in her heart.

Catching Greg's arrogant stance, Hugh immediately ordered his subordinates to beat him up.

In fact, those punches and kicks were commonplace for people like Hugh and Greg. They were not at all harmful, but they were extremely insulting.

Hugh was enjoying the thrill of Greg being beaten by his group of subordinates when one of them came running to him, saying, "Young Master Hugh, Young Master Solomon is here."

"What?"

Solomon was Hugh's mortal enemy. They had been rivals ever since they were children. Didn't he transfer him away? Why did he show up here?

"Take Abigail away now."

Hugh now knew that as long as Abigail was in his hands, no one would dare to do anything to him. No matter if it was Greg, Solomon, or even Peter, they would not be able to touch him.

He also wondered what happened to Philip. Did he succeed?

Now that the situation was unclear, Hugh did not want to confront Solomon directly.

On the other hand, Abigail knew that Solomon was the second child adopted by her father. He had been ruthless ever since he was a child, but compared to Hugh, he was much more straightforward.

Hours had passed since the agreed time with her father, but her father's men had not arrived yet. It seemed that Philip must have stopped her father, but why was Solomon here?

Was it her father's instructions? Or did he have another plan like Hugh?

While Abigail pondered about the possibilities, Hugh dragged her away. She groaned in pain because of her dislocated shoulder.

In the meantime, Greg's eyes never left Abigail. When he saw Abigail struggling in pain, he desperately wanted to kill Hugh.

"Be gentle to my woman, you b*stard!"

This sentence instantly infuriated Hugh. Just as he was about to rebuke him, he saw Solomon barging in with some men.

"Hugh, where are you trying to go?" Solomon was grinning, but the smile did not reach his eyes.

This was the first time Abigail had seen Solomon. She wasn't sure if it was her misconception, but she noticed that Solomon and Greg looked alike.

She must have gone crazy.

When Hugh saw Solomon, he felt somewhat uneasy. Just as he was pondering what to do, a bullet hit his arm out of nowhere.

Taking this opportunity, Abigail raised her foot, kicked Hugh, and scrambled away.

Greg had been staring at them for a long time, so he quickly stepped forward and pulled Abigail into his arms.

"Ouch!"

Abigail was caught off guard, so the severe pain made her cry out loud, but her shoulder was also popped back into place.

"You almost scared me to death."

Greg hugged Abigail protectively.

Because of the bullet, Hugh was instantly put at a disadvantage. Solomon kicked him to the door and aimed two black pistols at his head.

"You must have piled shit in your brain these past few years. How dare you plot against anyone you come across, huh? You plotted against Godfather, and now you're targeting his daughter? Are you tired of living?" Solomon's voice was extremely cold.

Hugh was aware of his brother's strength since they fought each other ever since they were children. He knew that it was a winner-takes-all situation, so he considered himself a loser today.

"You're not too happy about it either. Old Mr. Castel..."

"Don't worry, Godfather is fine. Do you think Philip's clumsiness can harm Godfather? You were not even born yet when Godfather started working in this industry. Who gave you the courage to believe you could control the whole situation?"

After saying that, Solomon ordered, "Take them away!"

"Wait!"

Abigail breathed a sigh of relief when she heard that her father was alright, but she stopped Hugh.

Hearing Abigail's voice, surprise flashed in Hugh's eyes. After years of being in a relationship together, did Abigail feel bad to see him die?

Seeing the desire in Hugh's eyes, Abigail sneered, "I've been giving you chances, Hugh. From the moment I set foot here, I didn't question you. That's how I gave you the chance. I've been hoping that you would feel remorse, but you didn't. You're so blinded by the power and status that you even tried to attack my parents! Even if my father was stricter with you, he had raised you for twenty years after all. Does your inner desire win over the nurturing grace of my parents for more than twenty years?"

Hearing Abigail's words, Hugh knew that he had no chance left.

Abigail was completely disappointed with him.

However, he burst into laughter until tears rolled down his cheeks.

"It's all your fault! I was the one who saved you, so you should have fallen in love with me, but no! You fell in love with another man instead. You betrayed me, so I want revenge. You were also the one who asked me to investigate your mother. If you hadn't given me something that I could hold against you, how would I have found out about other secrets, and why would I have wanted to do all these? So, Abigail Kain, you are the reason for all that happened!"

Before Hugh could finish speaking, he was kicked in the mouth by Greg until some of his teeth fell out. Blood dripped out of his mouth, and the sight was terrifying.

"Bullsh*t! You're no good yourself! How dare you try to put the blame on others every single time? Did you say that you rescued Abigail? Well, you were the one who caused it. If you had treated her well and abided by the limits of a step-sibling, Old Mr. Castel might have appointed you as the heir if he saw how well the two of you get along with each other, but you were eager for success and put all the blame on Abigail instead. How shameless are you?"

Greg had been holding himself back for a long time.

Hugh was a b*stard! Greg's heart ached even if a mosquito bit Abigail, but Hugh dislocated her shoulder!

Although it was not a big problem for the time being, it might cause habitual dislocations in the long run. Perhaps, she might get traumatized for her whole life.

Moreover, Hugh also beat Abigail right in front of him!

Did he really think Greg would not fight back?

"This is just the interest you have to pay for hitting my sweetheart. Since you dared to dislocate her shoulder, I'll break all your limbs and make you regret provoking me!"

Greg was not a kind person anyway. He had spared Hugh many times before because the latter had saved Abigail, her mother, and her sister. Who would have known that he was feeding a beast all this while?

Sure enough, one could not be too kind.

He should have killed Hugh when he was coveting Abigail, so as not to cause so many troubles in the future.

The more he thought about it, the angrier he felt, so Greg stepped forward and stomped on Hugh's knee.

The sound of broken bones and painful cries resounded through the sky, causing a chill to run down everyone's spine. They turned to look at Greg, and it was as if they had just seen Satan.

This man was more ruthless than Solomon.

However, Abigail's expression did not change as she watched the scene.

She already gave Hugh a chance, but unfortunately, he threw it out the window.

Moreover, it was reasonable for Greg to deal with him, so she did not want to involve herself in it.

Hugh's face contorted in pain. While he looked at Greg, the blood from the corners of his mouth continued flowing out like a waterfall. It was a gory scene.

At this moment, he looked like a demon with widened eyes and a bloody mouth.

"How dare you break my leg, Greg Buckley?"

"There is nothing I'm afraid of doing in this world. Didn't I tell you to come at me instead of Abigail? How dare you touch her? I'm not just going to break one of your legs. I will even break the other leg and both your arms!"

With that said, he stomped on Hugh's other leg, eliciting a shrill wail from Hugh that made everyone's hair stand on end.

For Greg, even if he slashed Hugh a thousand times with a sword, it would not be enough to vent his anger.

How dare this b*stard hurt the person he cherished most?

Recalling the sight of Abigail trembling with slight pain, Greg could not wait to tear him to pieces.

Just as Greg was about to cripple Hugh's two arms, a dagger slid down Hugh's sleeve, and he aimed it at Greg.

Almost subconsciously, Greg stepped back instantly, but he tripped over Hugh's broken leg. Time seemed to freeze for a second, but Hugh's dagger was already drawn.

Severe pain spread all over Greg's body, but it also enraged him, because the location of the injury was...

"Go to hell!"

Greg couldn't care about anything else as he snatched the dagger from Hugh with his bare hands. Even though the dagger cut his fingers, he didn't seem to notice, and he sent the dagger right into Hugh's chest.
