However, the people holding Stephen back nodded in agreement and let him go.
Stephen lunged forward, and his fists slammed into Martin’s face.
His face, which had just begun to look healthy again, was now a mess of black and blue.
Brandon and Colin had never seen anything like this before. By the time they snapped out of their stupor, their father had already been hit several times.
The two brothers rushed forward to pull them apart.
Even Lillian grabbed Stephen’s arm. “Stephen, stop it. This is Northwyn. It’ll be inconvenient for you to handle things here. Don’t let him trap you with some accusation. I brought you all to the capital for more important reasons.”
As her business grew, she naturally wouldn’t forget her real family.
For so many years, her Lancaster relatives had helped manage the properties and businesses her grandparents had left for her and her mother. They had been diligent and had never shortchanged her on the profits.
Lillian had seen it all, so of course, she would think of them when better opportunities arose.
She didn’t want Stephen to act impulsively and end up in jail if Martin decided to press charges. It just wasn’t worth it.
Hearing Lillian’s words, the other Lancaster family members also hurried over to restrain him.
“Listen to Lillian. Don’t be rash, don’t be rash.”
By the time they intervened, Martin had already taken a beating. His face was swollen and bruised.
But Stephen didn’t feel it was enough.
“You old bastard, you’re not even human. You beat your wife and cursed your daughter all for some homewrecker. Now you’ve made that woman your wife and kicked your own flesh and blood out of the house.
“You’re scum. And you had the nerve to say my cousin was some man’s plaything.
