Chapter 017: Break Off His Hand Directly!

The pale little face tightened, somber as the sky before a storm, and her cold eyes filled with thick hatred as she stared unyieldingly at Vincent Holmes, her hand clenched tightly into a fist!

At this moment, Vincent Holmes was also angrily glaring at Luther Holmes, his large hand still raised, his entire person being pulled by Jasmine Hayes.

As Tiana Williams suddenly burst in, the few people in the room were startled, their gazes all turning toward her at once.

"What's going on?"

Tiana Williams took large strides to the bedside, her brow furrowed as she examined Luther Holmes's ghastly pale face, quickly checking his wounds for fear they might start bleeding again.

Seeing her, Luther Holmes bit back his anger in secret, his hand that was clenched into a fist suddenly trembled lightly. He turned his head away, not looking at Tiana Williams as his youthful, raspy voice rose—

"Why are you here? You don't need to interfere, I can handle it myself, just go away!"

Tiana Williams glanced at him, then suddenly reached out to pat his shoulder gently, her voice stern, "Just do as I said before; leave the rest to me. I'll have the doctor come and take a look at you."

With that, she pressed the call button.

"Tiana... you... you've come..."

At that moment, Jasmine Hayes also spoke warmly, her heart, however, clenching tight!

She had wanted Vincent Holmes to teach Luther Holmes a lesson, but she hadn't expected Tiana Williams to arrive at such a moment. Shouldn't she be in class?

Vincent Holmes, on the other hand, remained silent!

Vincent Holmes was over fifty years old this year, but time had not left deep marks on him. He had an honest and refined appearance, slim in stature, not particularly outstanding in features, wearing gold-framed glasses. At first glance, he certainly did not look like someone capable of cruelty, and yet…

"It was I who visited the Tower Clan, I issued the order to evict that brother and sister from our siblings' room, and I explicitly told your family of four to pack up and leave the Tower Clan, so if you have any grievances, come at me. Why pick on an underage person?"

The light in Tiana Williams's eyes suddenly became incredibly sharp, her cold gaze fixed on Vincent Holmes and Jasmine Hayes, her voice as sweeping and chilling as the cold wind.

Vincent Holmes's expression darkened, a sneer rising in his brooding eyes, "Miss Williams, I am disciplining my own son; what business is it of yours? Even if you had left the Tower Clan, or even if you were still part of it, you still have no right to interfere with my disciplining him!"

Vincent Holmes, who had been seasoned in the business world over the years, did not believe he could be intimidated by such a young girl!

"Luther is my brother; how can you say he has nothing to do with me?"

"You've turned our home upside down, burdened our family, and dealt with the aftermath for him, yet he still hasn't shown remorse. Do you think I shouldn't discipline him? And you, have you considered the consequences of your actions? Or did you act out of deliberate revenge? At such a young age, you're already so malevolent. I should indeed discipline you on behalf of your late mother!"

Vincent Holmes said furiously, his face flushing red with the anger of the moment!

"You have no right to talk about my mother, you ungrateful wretch, perfectly matched with a mother and son who repay kindness with enmity. I'm well aware of how you treat Luther. Ignoring the fact that your own son just had surgery, the first thing you do is slap him—if it had been me, I'd simply cut off that hand of yours. Do you want to try me?"

The icy, resolute words of Tiana Williams rang out, and nobody dared doubt their sincerity, because she had indeed done such things before. It was probably Luther, following her example, who had beaten a classmate so badly that the kid ended up in the hospital. The siblings both carried such ruthless genes in their blood!

"Tiana... don't say that, he... after all, he's your father... he meant no harm, it's just... he's too angry, too disappointed... let's all calm down and talk it over..."

Jasmine Hayes hurriedly tried to advise, calming Vincent Holmes down.

"We have no interest in talking to you, and I won't let the matter with Luther go just that easily. I will have the Tower Clan's elders watch over you until you are stripped of your hypocritical guise—consider this a small lesson. You may leave now."

"This is outrageous, you're lecturing me!"

Vincent Holmes couldn't stand such provocative words, immediately flew into a rage, extremely irritable, and lunged forward with his hand raised, preparing to slap Tiana Williams across the face. Jasmine couldn't hold him back due to his strength!

However, the next moment, Vincent felt as if several sharp needles had been driven directly into his wrist, the intense and freezing pain almost made him tremble uncontrollably. He attempted to withdraw his hand but was tightly gripped by the other party!

Tiana's fingers, like the claws of a hawk, tightly clutched his wrist with such force that she seemed capable of crushing it to pieces at any moment. Vincent's face twisted in pain.

"Don't take kindness for weakness. You are nothing but an in-law, and neither the Tower Clan nor DK are yours to command. If you don't hold back, I'm willing to go down with you in mutual destruction!"

The gloomy depths of her eyes glowed with a sinister darkness, and her ice-cold warning undoubtedly put pressure on Vincent Holmes!

Immediately after, he was shoved with great force, retreating several steps back so quickly that he slammed into a side table and nearly fell over the sofa in a heap!

Jasmine Hayes exclaimed in surprise, rushing over to assist him.

"You..."

Tiana turned her head and coldly stared at Vincent Holmes, her intimidating presence rendering him unable to make any rash moves. After struggling for a moment, he finally could only glare furiously at Luther on the hospital bed before storming out and slamming the door!

Jasmine bit her lip, glanced at the sibling pair, and with reluctance, followed Vincent Holmes out.

...

The hospital room suddenly became quiet.

The doctor came quickly to check on Luther Holmes, and fortunately, there were no complications—only the needle marks on his hand needed additional treatment.

After a while, the doctor left, leaving just the siblings in the room.

Luther seemed to have not yet recovered from the shock of what had just happened, his gaze at Tiana still contained a hint of amazement and daze, mixed with a trace of inquiry and complexity...

In his impression, his sister had always been cool and distant—he'd never seen her burst out with such force!

Considering how Vincent had acted just now, Luther started to see his sister in a new light!

When Vincent Holmes got furious, even he had difficulty standing up to him, but just now, Tiana subdued him and even made him leave in a disheveled state!

"I am aware of the situation with the Tower Clan. They will return your room to you. You are recovering well; you can be discharged the day after tomorrow. If you are worried, I will arrange a bodyguard to protect you closely. Call me if anything comes up, and I will send you the review schedule later. Just follow the requirements on it."

Tiana said calmly, her tone unusually assertive.
