"Since my mission is done, I'm leaving!” Frank patted Melanie on the shoulder.
He walked calmly in Nathaniel's direction, not caring much about the angry man blocking his exit.
"Stop!" In anger, Nathaniel grabbed Frank’s arm and gritted his teeth. "You think you can just leave?”
"What about it?” Frank smirked wickedly.
At first, Nathaniel was still trying to hold in his rage because of Frank's social status, as he could not afford to be rash. However, when he heard what Frank had to say, his anger erupted, and he punched Frank in the face, yelling, "You b*stard!"
It was a solid punch, but it did not aggravate Frank at all. He fell back, and as he regained his balance, he touched the corner of his lips and saw blood. "I'll let you off on behalf of Ms. Neville, but if you dare throw another punch, 1 won’t let you off that easily.”
"Who needs it?” Frank's words easily set Nathaniel off, and since he had already hit him once, he might as well go all out. Nathaniel charged at Frank and began throwing wild punches at him.
Just as Frank promised, he stopped being civil and retaliated. The two men ended up in a brawl. Melanie threw up in the sink for a while before regaining her composure. They were already tangled up in a fight
when she turned her head toward them.
Melanie stood to the side for a few moments to calm down before approaching them to break up the fight." Please, stop it! Stop fighting!”
"Nate...” When Melanie saw they had stopped fighting, she quickly rushed over and helped Nathaniel.
She knew that trying to stop Frank would just be a waste of time, so she aimed for Nathaniel instead, as she knew that he still cared about what others thought of him.
Nathaniel staggered to his feet, his head still dizzy. He saw someone moving back and forth in front of him, so he raised his head to look. Once he noticed Melanie's worried face, his anger returned, and he shoved her hard, "Get away from me!"
Melanie almost fell backward from the force, but luckily Frank held onto her. This only angered Nathaniel further.
