CHAPTER_DETAIL_H1

Quincy raised his hand and slapped Julian hard across the face. "You ungrateful brat! Is that how you speak to your brother-in-law?"

Julian had never been hit at home before. Aside from the time Winona slapped him, he had been endlessly pampered.

Now, stinging from the blow, he turned back to glare at Winona. "Fine! I don't care about you anymore! Do whatever you want! We hate the sight of each other anyway! Just pretend we don't know each other from now on!"

He shifted his furious gaze back to Quincy, completely consumed by rebellion. "I'll remember this slap!"

With that, he stormed out of the hall, making it clear he wouldn't be returning home anytime soon.

Quincy's head pounded with sheer rage. He rubbed his temples and waved his hand dismissively, signaling the bodyguards to drag Winona away.

Sitting on the sofa, Jude let out a soft chuckle. Julian's outburst had perfectly handed a certain someone an easy way out.

That someone wanted Winona to submit, but her pride was carved into her very bones. Even if she burned to ash, that pride would remain.

The agonizing road of mutual torture between these two was far from over.

Just as the bodyguards reached out to grab Winona, Zachary finally spoke.

"Julian made a fair point, didn't he?"

His voice was ice-cold. He maneuvered his wheelchair and began heading toward the exit.

Jude smoothly stood up, walked behind Zachary, and lazily grabbed the handles of the wheelchair. He muttered under his breath, "Ugh... show-off."

Zachary's brow twitched, but he ignored him.

Quincy frowned in confusion, completely unsure of what Zachary meant, but he didn't dare question him.

The bodyguards hesitated, waiting for new orders.

Then it dawned on Quincy. Winona had put Zachary in that wheelchair. If she got off this easily, Zachary wouldn't be satisfied.

Quincy waved the guards off, but his disgusted glare remained fixed on Winona. "You get to live today, but your future is going to be a living hell. Did you really think Zachary would let you off the hook? You've seen what he does to people who cross him."
