Chapter <b>440 </b>Trial by Family
<b>Just </b>thinking about it filled Tracy with rage.
“I’lle backter?
“To see your precious Eliza?” Tracy snapped. “Zayden, you’re so full of crap. You keep <b>saying </b><b>you don’t </b>like her, but from where I’m standing, you’repletely obsessed.”
With that, she hung up the phone..
Zayden’s reaction just now made her hesitate about taking him back overseas.
But she didn’t feel safe leaving him at Capital University alone, either. What if some other wornan <b>snatched </b>him away?
Meanwhile.
Eliza had already brought Nn to the Sue family estate.
This was Nn’s first time at the Sue family’s main residence.-
The Sue family was the richest family overseas<b>, </b>owning sprawling estates. Even Eliza had felt out of ce the first time she came though now, she’d gotten used to it.
—
“Tristan will be down soon. I’ll introduce you then.”
Nn opened his mouth like he wanted to say something, but when he looked at Eliza, the words got stuck.
A momentter, Christian was the first toe downstairs.
He was wearing a shy, colorful outfit – typical of the yboy that he was. Even dressed like that, he still carried himself with a roguish charm.
He could even be called a trendsetter.
“My baby sister, I missed you so much!”
He swept Eliza up in a big hug.
But the moment he spotted Nn, Christian’s expression cooled. “Oh, so this is the Mr. Hayes our fourth brother keeps mentioning on the phone? What’s he doing back here with Eliza?”
His tone was distant, with more than a little edge.
Eliza gave him a warning elbow. “Watch your mouth.”
Christian rubbed his arm dramatically. “Halbert was right – you’re totally blinded by love. Got a man now, and suddenly your big brother doesn’t matter?”
Eliza stepped next to Nn and slipped her hand through his arm.
“He’s my fiancé now. We’re together. From now on, you should be calling him your brother–inw.”
Nn’s heart lifted when he heard her say that, but the tips of his ears turned red.

<b>Eliza </b>already <b>knew </b><b>Nn </b><b>was </b>easily flustered<b>. </b>She’d <b>said </b><b>it </b><b>on </b><b>purpose </b><b>just </b>to tease him
“Oh<b>? </b>Fiancé<b>? </b>Funny I don’t remember hearing about this.”
From upstairs, Ronaldo came down neatly dressed, his secretary following behind.
Eliza looked at him and said, “I just decided. It’s not toote to tell you now.”
“You saying he’s your fiancé doesn’t make it true,” Ronaldo said. “Not unless he <b>gets </b>our approval.”
“Exactly,” Christian added, stepping to Ronaldo’s side. “He needs both of us to sign off.”
They looked like they were forming a united front.
Eliza frowned. “You two are just making things difficult on purpose.”
“It’s fine. I’m up for it.”
Nn answered without hesitation.
Eliza looked at him, concerned. “Are you sure? Maybe just forget it. Who knows what kind of nonsense they’re nning.”
These two had never been known for ying fair.
Last time Christian was in Westbrook, he even mistook her for someone else.
“If I want your family’s approval, I’ve got to put in the effort. Otherwise, how can I im to love you?”
Christian made a face. Even he had never said anything that corny when flirting with women.
“Are you fighting or not? If not, we’ll just kick you out.”
Christian had been hoping Nn would give up. But instead, Nn stepped forward.
“What are we doing?”
“Fight me,” Ronaldo said. “If you can’t even protect my sister, how can I hand her over to you?”
Before the words were even out, Ronaldounched the first strike,
–
Nn moved quickly — Ronaldo missed every time.
What had started as a test quickly escted. Ronaldo picked up the pace, but Nn didn’t fall behind.
Blow after blow, neither of them held back.
Christian stood off to the side, dumbfounded.
Overseas, Ronaldo was known as a beast. But right now, he hadn’t even touched Nn.
In fact, it looked like he was losing ground.
Eliza didn’t know much about fighting, but even she could see that Nn was ahead. Still, heer struck back with full force. Every time he had a chance to win, he pulled his punch.

“You looking down on me?” Ronaldo growled, sensing something was off.
From the start, Nn had been holding back.
“I’m not,” Nn said. “You’re Eliza’s brother. I don’t want to hurt you,”
Hearing that, Ronaldo finally lowered his fists.
