?Chapter 713:


    “Susanna came to me and had sex with me willingly. Everything was consensual. They’re using me of forcing her,” said Erick indignantly. Katharine couldn’t help butugh scornfully. “Willingly? What could possibly attract her to you? Your notorious reputation? Or your messy private life?”


    “Miss Lambert, why must you speak so harshly?” Genesis frowned.


    Her face darkened at Katharine’s words that belittled Erick.


    Katharine shot her a look. “Honestly, Susanna would need to find a man better than Daniel if she were to look elsewhere. Just look at your son. Does he measure up?”


    “Go ahead, check the cameras; Susanna willingly left with me because she wanted to… Ouch! Ah, crap!” Erick’s voice rose sharply, causing his injury to re up, making him wince in pain.


    It didn’t matter to the Lamberts whether she willingly left with Erick or not.


    Susanna’s tears earlier showed she was hurt.


    The Lambert family’s motto was straightforward: If their family member was hurt, they prioritized seeking justice above all else; everything else could wait.


    “Right now, we need to find a way out of this mess,” Talon intervened. “Miss Katharine Lambert, Mr. Daniel Lambert, even though there’s been a big misunderstanding, the Thorpe family is ready to step up. Erick here is prepared to marry Miss Todd!”


    Talon said “the Thorpe family,” and Kaiden shot him a disdainful look.


    Thinking of Erick, his sister’s former fiancé, Daniel’s anger surged.


    Somehow, he started to see Kaiden in a new, more favorable light.


    Katharine went from amused to livid. “Mr. Thorpe, don’t make it sound like you’re doing us a favor. If we were talking about Kaiden, maybe then we’d listen, but your son…”


    She just shook her head.


    Her face spelled out “not good enough.”


    Step into a new world at gα?ησν???s?c?m


    “You! Come on, Katharine, don’t be so ungrateful!” Genesis was seething.


    “Ungrateful? You’re lecturing me on gratitude? Just wait until my older brother hears about this. We won’t be just talking, we’ll be talking with fists.” Katharine gave Erick a chilling look. That look from Katharine sent shivers down Erick’s spine, and he started coughing up blood again.


    Glenn was even more terrifying than Katharine and Daniel!


    It wasmon knowledge that someone once mocked Susanna for being an orphan. Glenn didn’t just stand by. He ended up sending the guy to the hospital with three broken ribs.


    Erick, looking like he was on hisst legs, was propped up by Talon and Genesis.


    “My boy! Don’t worry, I’m calling an ambnce right now!” Genesis cried, tears of sympathy in her eyes.


    Kaiden acted swiftly, grabbing the phone from Genesis’s hand.


    “An ambnce would just spoil Mr. Hill’s party.” With that, he flung his arm.


    With a snap, Genesis’s phone was smashed.
