“Are you done? If that’s all you’re here to say, then get lost. Don’t be an eyesore.” Dustin waved his hand in annoyance, clearly showing no respect for them at all.
“You-” Autumn was about to launch into a new tirade when Spring raised his hand and interjected. “Enough! Torben started this and is the one at fault. It’s only fair for him to apologize.”
“Spring!” Autumn’s brow furrowed deeply. “What? Have you forgotten what Dad said?” Spring gave him the side eye, slightly upset.
“I …” Autumn gritted his teeth but remained silent in the end.
Spring gave a nod. “Torben, apologize to the person you beat up and bring this matter to an end.”
“I– I’m sorry.” Torben gritted out the words with difficulty as he laid on the stretcher. Since the odds were against him, he did as ordered. This was more important before he could rest and recover properly.
“Are you satisfied now, kid?” Autumn’s expression was dark.
“No.” Dustin shook his head. “There’s no sincerity. I want him to kneel.”
“Don’t push your fucking luck!” Autumn spat out. They’d humiliated themselves already by apologizing in
public. Getting them to kneel was going too far.
“Kneel!” Spring suddenly raised his voice.
Autumn’s eyes widened in shock. “Spring?”

Instead of responding to him, Dustin turned to Abigail and said, “Kid, this is the guy that beat your dad up into that state. He’s right in front of you now. It’s time to get your revenge.”
Abigail was silent, but she gave Torben a death glare, her eyes burning with rage.
Dustin comforted her. “Don’t hold back. Take the anger you are feeling now out on him.”
Abigail’s hand slowly formed into a fist. Traces of internal energy were welling up within her. After a while, she relaxed her fingers.
“Hmph, at least you know your place.” Autumn smiled proudly at the sight. “Not anyone dares touch the Hill family. If you dare touch a hair on my boy, then-

Chapter 494
Before he finished his sentence, a clear, loud slap resonated through the room. Abigail had landed a heavy slap on Torben’s face. She had put all her strength into that slap, causing Toben to lose his balance and fall head–first to the ground.
Autumn was stunned.
Patrick was stunned.
Mike was stunned.
Nina was also stunned.
Everyone at the scene was frozen to their spots, their faces etched with disbelief. Nobody expected Abigail to actually raise a hand against Torben. Not only that, she had given him a solid slap in public.
That brat must not want to l
