?Chapter 889:


    Everyone in the room had clearly witnessed Aphrodite’s actions, observing how she swung her stick with great strength and precision at Ellie.


    “Ellie wasn’t injured,” Quincy instinctively defended Aphrodite. “Mr. Thorpe, you should know Ellie started it by attacking first, and Aphrodite just defended herself.”


    “It doesn’t matter who started it,” Kaiden insisted. “I just want to teach Aphrodite a lesson.”


    If Ellie was truly hurt, Kaiden’s response wouldn’t have been just to teach Aphrodite a lesson at this moment.


    Quincy’s expression turned serious. “Mr. Thorpe, do you really want to escte things like this?”


    “Escte things? I don’t see it that way,” Marvin snorted, walking purposefully toward Baylee.


    The youngdy who had been helping Baylee stand upright stepped aside for Marvin. As she watched, Baylee, who had been steady with her support, nearly stumbled when Marvin took her arms.


    Thedy was stunned.


    Was Baylee worried that she couldn’t support her with little strength, or was she acting spoiled with Marvin?


    “Marvin…”


    Aphrodite felt a chill run down her spine at the sight of Kaiden, the demon, and now Marvin. She was afraid that her end was near.


    Quincy frowned unconsciously.


    The gentlemen anddies who were witnessing the scene held their breath.


    They feared a brawl among the three men would ensue, bringing harm to everyone present.


    Now Quincy was left to handle the pressure from Kaiden and Marvin alone.

    “What do you want?” Quincy noticed Baylee leaning on Marvin and didn’t want to linger any longer.


    Marvin nced at Baylee, prompting her to make a choice.


    “Baylee, you hit and pped me. We’re even now. What more do you want?” Aphrodite said.


    Despite the increasing pain in her back, Baylee managed a cold smile.


    “Apologize to me,” Baylee said slowly and deliberately.


    Instinctively, Aphrodite nced at Marvin. Her face swollen, she reluctantly said to Baylee, “I’m sorry, Baylee.”


    Marvin and Quincy were cousins. Their previous conflicts had impacted both the Rollins and Watts families’ businesses. Aphrodite dared not create more trouble for Quincy. But Aphrodite never imagined she would apologize to Baylee.


    “Sorry for what? Exin yourself,” Baylee demanded.


    “I’m sorry. I shouldn’t have spoken rashly and hit you.”
