    Matthew was practically losing it as he grilled Dn


    Matthew thought. "Not again. First Diana, now Dn.


    ''From my fiancée to my


    wown brother. Why is everyone doing this to me?"


    "Tell me why! Matthew demanded.


    Rage and a sense of betrayal swirled in Matthew''s eyes.


    One by one, they were all abandoning him.


    Matthew thought, "Did I do something wrong? Where did I screw up?


    ''All I did was choose Sophie, who saved my life, over Eliza.


    Is that really so wrong?"


    Matthew wanted answers, but Dn wasn''t giving him any.


    "We can''t get through to you, Matthew, Dn said.


    "Can''t get through? Or you just don''t want to talk? You used to tell me everything, and now you''re saying we can''tmunicate? Matthew challenged.


    "What''s going on between us that we can''t talk about?" Matthew couldn''t wrap his head around it.


    To him, Dn was justing up with excuses. He couldn''t ept it.


    "Matthew, do you think I don''t want to talk? I''ve already told you so much, tried to reason with you over and over, but you''re the one who refuses to listen. You only hear what you want to hear, do what you want to do, andpletely ignore


    everyone else''s advice. So tell me, how am I supposed to get through to you? Enough, Matthew. Figure it out yourself." With that, Dn turned to leave.


    But Matthew wasn''t about to let him go.


    He grabbed Dn''s arm and snapped, "You''re not leaving! Dn, you''re not going anywhere until you exin yourself!"


    Dn thought, ''Does he really think my patience is limitless?"


    He instantly turned icy. He shot Matthew a cold re and said, "Let go."


    "I won''t" Matthew clenched his teeth, his eyes locked on Dn with unyielding determination.


    Matthew clenched his teeth, his eyes locked on Dn with unyielding determination.


    Almost as soon as Matthew finished speaking, a heavy fist mmed down onto the table beside them.


    "This is yourst warning. Let me go." Dn was furious.


    Matthew wasn''t intimidated in the slightest. The moment Dn threw a punch, he shouted back furiously, "Oh, you wanna fight? Fine, bring it on!”


    To him, it was just another scuffle. They''d had plenty of those growing up.


    But when Dn swung his fist again, this time aiming straight for his face. Matthew''s eyes narrowed sharply.


    Before he could even react, the punchnded squarely on his face,


    The force of the blow sent Matthew''s head snapping to the side.


    Dn''s voice was cold and unyielding. "You wanted a beating? Well, here it is."


    Blood trickled from the corner of Matthew''s mouth. He wiped it away with the back of his hand, and upon seeing the crimson smear, he sneered bitterly, gritting his teeth. "Alright, let''s do this!"


    The tension in the hut was suffocating, the air thick with hostility.


    In the next moment, Dn abruptly turned and stormed outside.


    It wasn''t a retreat. It was a calcted move. "Get out here!" he barked.


    He had no intention of letting his hut get wrecked in the process. Matthew, of course, followed him out without hesitation.


    The moment they stepped outside, the fight resumed with full force.


    Fists flew,nding with heavy thuds and sharp smacks. The crunch of knuckles against flesh echoed in the air. Neither of them wielded weapons; it was a raw, brutal exchange of blows, each strikending with unrelenting ferocity.


    They weren''t holding back, every hit was meant to hurt. Blood sttered onto the ground as their fists connected. Within

    moments, both of their faces were bruised and bloodied, their features barely recognizable.


    Sophie followed them out, her eyes widening in surprise. She hadn''t expected them to start tearing into each other so quickly


    She hadn''t even needed to use her usual tricks.


    Watching them fight should''ve been a golden opportunity for her, but Sophile just couldn''t feel happy about it


    After all, neither of them had ended up like this because of her scherries.


    One by one, they all seemed to be slipping out of her control.


    The feeling of losing her grip on the situation left Sophie deeply annoyed.


    As the two brothers fought fiercely, Sophie didn''t say a word, her gaze fixed on them.


    She stood there, watching them trade blows for what felt like an elemity, until their movements finally slowed, exhaustion beginning to take its toll


    She nced between them, sizing them up.


    It was clear that Matthew was no match for Dn. If this fight were to have a


    winner, it would undoubtedly be Dn,


    Dn still seemed to have energy to spare.


    It was obvious he hadn''t intended to push things to the breaking point with his younger brother. Even in the heat of the fight, he had been holding back.


    Sophie, who hadn''t nned to intervene, raised an eyebrow thoughtfully as she watched the scene unfold.


    Her eyes narrowed slightly, and just as the fight seemed to be winding down, Sophie finally decided to make her move, Matthew, stop it already!"


    Her voice quivered as she cried out, her eyes glistening with unshed tears. "Matthew, can''t you see? Dn''s been holding back for your sake. He doesn''t want to hurt you. Just stop. There''s no point in dragging this out."


    Her wordsnded between the two brothers still locked in their fight.


    Dn frowned. Something about Sophie''s words felt off, but he couldn''t quite figure out what.


    Just as he was trying to make sense of it, Matthew, standing across from him, suddenly snapped and threw a heavy punch thatnded squarely on Dn''s mouth.


    The force of the punch was so strong it felt like it could''ve shattered his jaw. Dn thought, "Wait, has Matthewpletely lost his mind?


    When Dn looked up at him, he saw Matthew ring at him with eyes zing with fury. Through gritted teeth, Matthew roared, "Dn Stonor!"


    A bad feeling instantly shed through Dn''s mind.


    The next second, Matthew shouted, "Who the hell told you to hold back?


    *Just because you were born a little earlier doesn''t make you better than mel Dn, stop looking down on me with that fake, condescending attitude!


    "If you dare hold back, I''ll beat you to death!"


    Matthew''s fist mmed into Dn''s chest again with a loud thud, making him stagger back and grit his teeth in pain.


    Then, he realized that this was Sophie''s doing.


    He thought, ''Her again!


    Those words she said earlier weren''t meant to calm Matthew down. They were deliberately meant to provoke him! Dn shot Sophie a fierce re before turning to Matthew and saying, "Calm down!"


    "I can''t calm down!" Matthew was so consumed by rage that he couldn''t think straight. He spat out, "Fight me for real, or you''ll regret it


    Matthew was so consumed by rage that he couldn''t think straight. He spat out, "Fight me for real, or you''ll regret it!" Matthew threatened, "If you dare hold back,e sunrise, I''ll go find Eliza and see how many punches she can take!" The moment those words left his mouth, Dn''s expression darkened instantly
