Alexander stood frozen, eyes wide as if struck by lightning.
Nicole frantically shook her head. “No… this can’t be real…”
The video kept playing, showing Nicole giggling coquettishly at Edward. “Once we ruin Harris Group, your son’s inheritance will be ours…”
“You bitch!”
Alexander lunged at Nicole!
“Ah!” Nicole screamed, dodging, but Alexander grabbed her hair and slammed her to the floor!
“You and my dad!” Alexander’s eyes burned crimson, fists pounding Nicole’s face. “Trying to kill me?”
Nicole clawed desperately at Alexander’s face. “Let go! You think your dad’s some saint? He called you a brainless pig! Ahhh!”
Alexander choked her neck, snarling through gritted teeth, “I’ll fucking kill you!”
Silence engulfed Exclusive Nightclub. Everyone gaped at the vicious dogfight.
I leaned back on the sofa, watching coldly.
Joshua crouched beside me. “Satisfied?”
Wincing through pain, I shook my head. “Not enough.”
Joshua nodded knowingly, signaling his bodyguards. They immediately pulled the brawling pair apart.
Alexander, face bloodied, thrashed wildly. “Release me! I’ll murder this whore!”
Nicole’s nose crooked, lips split, meticulously styled hair torn out in clumps.
Joshua clapped. More bodyguards dragged in two men–Edward and Peter,
Both bore bruised faces, clearly “entertained” already.

“Dad?” Alexander stared disbelievingly at Edward.
Edward hung his head in shame, avoiding his son’s gaze.

Peter suddenly charged, slapping Nicole hard. “Disgrace! Who told you to seduce Mr. Harris?”
Nicole reeled, bewildered. “Dad, didn’t you order me to-
“Traitor!” Peter kicked her stomach, shaking violently. “When did I teach you this filth?”
Watching the farce, I nearly laughed.
This was human nature.
When disaster struck, even fathers disowned their blood.
“Mr. Jones!” Peter crawled on his knees toward Joshua. “It’s all this wretch’s fault! Punish her! Spare my family!”
Edward scrambled forward. “Mr. Jones! I’ll surrender all Harris Group shares–just show mercy…”
Joshua ignored them, turning to me gently. “Katherine, how should we handle them?”
All eyes fixed on me.
I looked at Alexander.
He knelt, staring up with pleading remorse. “Katherine, I’m sorry… I truly didn’t know…”
I met his gaze calmly. “Alexander, know what’s most ridiculous?”
He shook his head blankly.
“Had you bothered to check the surveillance footage back then,” I sneered, curling my lips sarcastically, “only Nicole would be kneeling here now.”
Alexander lowered his head, sobbing uncontrollably.
“Too bad.” I reached out toward Joshua. “None of you are getting away.‘
Joshua wrapped his arm around my shoulder.
“Let’s go.”

I nodded, watching police rush in and escort them into police cars one by one. Yet I didn’t feel the satis- faction I’d imagined.
After all, no amount of retribution could erase the wounds already inflicted.
Joshua carefully carried me into the ambulance, his eyes bloodshot. “I’m sorry I’m late…”
I shook my head, forcing a smile. “Brother… I want your buffalo wings…‘
Tears streamed down Joshua’s face as he gently squeezed my hand.
“Of course. Once you recover, I’ll make them for you every day.”
