Chapter 16 Kicked Out
“Fia!”
Sandra’s heart–wrenching cry echoed through the air as she lost all composure and rushed forward to embrace Fiorella
“Fia, are you alright?”
Tears streamed down her cheeks as Fiorella forced a faint smile. “I’m fine. I just… can’t stand anyone insulting my family…”
Hearing her words only made Sandra cry harder.
Her four parents hurried over, crowding around Fiorella in concern as they checked her for injuries.
Thankfully, she hadn’t been hurt elsewhere.
But her fair skin turned red. The mark looked so vivid that it was almost frightening.
By now, Nicholas had calmed down, and reason finally returned to him.
Even someone as dull as he realized he had done something he never should have…
“Ah, L… L…”
Staring at her daughter’s swollen face, Sandra was absolutely furious!
“Nicholas! Is this how you treat your cousin? She hasn’t even moved back in yet and you’ve already laid hands on her. What are you going

to do once she does? Kill her?”
“I didn’t mean to…”
“Didn’t mean to? Everyone saw what you did just now!”
Panic overtook Nicholas. He was never good with words, and now he had no idea what to say.
He cast a pleading look toward Jamila, but she wouldn’t even meet his eyes. She was already doing everything she could to avoid him!
Jamila ignoring him only made Nicholas more frantic.
Through the crowd, Fiorella looked at him coldly. Though Nicholas was physically strong, he didn’t have the brain to handle difficult situations.
All it took was provoking him into violence, and the elders would see his brutality and her vulnerability.
That way, history would never repeat itself.
Even after all this, he still couldn’t squeeze out a single word of apology. Sandra, fuming with anger, turned her gaze to Bronson.
“Bronson! The kid’s misbehavior is the father’s fault! You’re my husband’s brother. We haven’t said much over the years when Nicholas acted out, but now he has hurt my daughter. Is this what you taught him? If you don’t give us an explanation, don’t blame us for making a fuss!”
Sandra no longer cared about preserving the Huerta family’s noble image. She was determined to hold Bronson accountable!
Bronson was getting anxious, too. Why did this little brat always have

to cause trouble?
“You little punk! What are you standing there for? Apologize to your cousin!”
As he shouted, Bronson grabbed him by the collar and forced Nicholas to apologize.
“I didn’t…”
He was about to protest when a deep commanding voice cut through the air.
“Nicholas!”
The voice was calm but powerful, and everyone turned over.
Harry’s sharp gaze bore down on his grandson.
Nicholas froze, trembling all over as he stared at the ground.
When he didn’t respond, Harry turned to Bronson and asked coldly, “Is this how you raised your son?”
His piercing gaze was like a blade. Bronson shivered violently.
“No, I…”
Harry’s voice rang through the grand hall.
“In this family, we do not tolerate brainless fools who can’t watch their mouths. And we certainly won’t harbor wild dogs who lash out at their own blood. Nicholas is to move out tonight. I don’t want to see him
again.”
Hearing that his father was expelling his son, Bronson was terrified.

Harry’s word was law.

It was this ruthless decisiveness that had made him a formidable figure in the business world. He was unshakable and undefeated.
If he said Nicholas had to go, it wasn’t just talk.
If his son really got kicked out for hitting someone, he couldn’t imagine the ridicule he’d face from the outside world!
At that thought, Bronson spun around and landed a hard slap on Nicholas’s head.
“So what if your cousin threw water at you? She should have! You little brat! How dare lay a hand on her? If I don’t beat you half to death today, I’m not your father!”
