Chapter 571
After rubbing his sore shoulder, Jimmy pulled out a chair and sat down. Putting on a faint smile, he
said, "Where did you find that stick? You didn''t even hesitate to hit me. How ruthless."
"Stop joking around!" Mack would not get bamboozled by him so easily. "If you don''t make yourself
clear today, I''ll beat you to death. You bastard!"
The family was having dinner peacefully, but he suddenly rushed in and started beating his brother
up. The Hudson Family sure did not bring him up this way!
Jimmy said indifferently, "He should be taught a lesson."
"He''s your brother!" Mack mmed his fist on the table.
"What kind of brother would do what he did?" Jimmy sneered.
Frowning, Mack asked. "What the hell is going on?"
Jimmy pursed his lips tightly.
"Tell me!"
After a while, Jimmy pinched the bridge of his nose and started briefly exining what happened.
"He did something improper to Ariah. Don''t say things like I misunderstood him. I saw it with my own
eyes."
What?
Mack was surprised for a moment. It seemed like he could not believe what he just heard.
Kobi definitely knew about Ariah''s rtionship with Jimmy, so how could he have improper thoughts
about Ariah?
"Are you..." Mack frowned. "Are you sure?"
"When I came to see you at noon, he picked up my phone. It was a call from two of my
subordinates. They asked him to tell me that Ariah was waiting for me at the hotel and told me to
meet her as soon as possible. But guess what he did?"
Mack''s frown deepened. Even though he already knew the answer, he still asked, "What did he
do?"
"He went straight to the hotel and nearly took advantage of Ariah. Well, do you need me to exin
the details?"
Sitting in his seat, Mack kept silent for a long time. After a while, he let out a long sigh. "He''s such a
fool!"
"So do you still think that I''m the one who made a mistake now?"
"He''s definitely not right, but you shouldn''t act on your impulse!"
Raising his eyebrows, Jimmy smiled coldly. "You know me very well. You should be able to see that
I''ve already tried my best to hold back my anger. If I were acting impulsively, I would have beat him
up at the hotel, not wait until now to get even with him."
He still regarded Kobi as his family, so he did not do anything to him in the hotel.
Jimmy tried to calm himself down during his stay at the hospital, and only then did hee back to
settle things with Kobi. Otherwise, with that bad temper of his, giving Kobi a few punches would not
be enough at all.
Pondering for a moment, Mack asked, "What are you going to do now?"
Jimmy pretended not to understand. "What?"
"Don''t y dumb. With that temper of yours, I don''t believe you will let him get away with just a few
punches. Don''t tell me you''re going to drop it just like that?"
Jimmy was not an easy-going person. He would not spare someone who provoked him so easily,
even if it was Kobi.
However, Jimmy remained expressionless. "What else can I do? Kobi is my brother. Should I just
treat him like an outsider and sue him? Dad, can you imagine how I feel when I found out what Kobi
did to Ariah?"
Kobi had lustful thoughts about the woman he liked, but he could not do anything about it just
because he was his biological brother.
This feeling was worse than any life-and-death situation he had ever experienced.
Pursing his lips tightly, Jimmy appeared to be holding back his emotions.
Sighing, Mack said, "I shouldn''t have hit you with that stick earlier. Don''t take it to heart. I''ll make
sure Kobi is held ountable for what he did."
After that, Jimmy got up and left.
This time, Kobi was summoned into the study room.
Remaining silent, Mack pointed to the chair and motioned Kobi to sit down.
Kobi sat down.

"I''ll call Dr. Turner over to treat the wound on your face." Mack carefully examined Kobi''s face for a
moment. After making sure there was no serious injury, he continued, "You know your brother''s
temper very well. He was ill- tempered since young, always using violence to solve problems. But
you are different from him. You are more steady andposed aspared to him."
However, Kobi was a very calcting person. Even as his father, Mack had never really seen
through his own eldest son.
Smiling, Kobi said, "Yes, I have a better personality than Jimmy, but you all like him better."
"He is younger than you, and parents always love the younger one." Mack smiled as well. "You
were always more mature than him since young. No matter what you do, we didn''t have to worry
about it. But Jimmy is different. He always gave me and your mother headaches. Teacher''s and
students'' parents would oftenin to us. It would''ve been much better if he was just a little bit
more like you."
Although Mack said that, his eyes were full of pride when he talked about Jimmy.
Kobi lowered his head with a poker face.
"By the way, when are you nning to hold your wedding with Emily?" Mack asked as a thought
popped up in his mind.
"Probably next year at the soonest."
"Well, since both of you are back, let me and your mother take charge of your wedding. We''ll help
you organize a splendid wedding ceremony. Once this year is over, both of you can get married."
Raising his eyebrows, Kobi asked, "And then what?"
Mack was slightly stunned. "What do you mean?" "I believe that''s not the reason you called me up
here." Leaning back in his chair, Kobi gradually tapped his fingers on the armrest. "Are you afraid
something scandalous might happen between me and Ariah? Is that why you''re in such a hurry to
get me and Emily married?"
Face darkening, Mack wanted to say something. However, he held back his anger and said softly,
"You''ve been doing quite well abroad for the past few years. Why don''t you go back overseas after
marrying Emily? You cane back to visit me and your mother if you miss us. If you can''te
back, we can go visit you."
Realization dawned on Kobi. "Are you trying to chase me off the house?"
Surprised, Mack said, "What are you talking about? I''m doing this for you and your brother''s sake."
"If it''s really for my sake, then ask Jimmy to give me Ariah."
Kobi suddenly said.
Mack''s body stiffened up. "What did you say?" he asked in disbelief.
"They are divorced now. Legally speaking, they don''t have anything to do with each other, and I
recently realized that I have feelings for Ariah. If you insist that I marry someone, it''s going to be
Ariah. I''ll take her away and nevere back again."
Frowning, Kobi asked,. "What do you think about this deal?"
"What nonsense are you talking about?"
"You want to chase me away, right? If you ept my deal, you don''t even have to wait until next
year. I can leave tomorrow." That was on the condition that Ariah had to leave with him.
Eyes fixed on Kobi, Mack looked meaningfully at his son.
Smiling faintly, Kobi spread out his hands. "I''m always inferior to Jimmy in this family. I know that
you and Mom don''t like me. If that''s the case, let''s close this deal so that everyone can be happy.
We won''t need to interfere in each other''s life anymore."
Mack was shocked. Kobi''s power of observation frightened him. He thought that he always treated
his eldest son equally...
However, Kobi seemed to be aware of what happened back then.
Suddenly, Mack''s face turned cold, "What are you talking about? You and Jimmy are both my sons.
I love both of you equally! Ariah is your sister-inw. Although she and Jimmy got divorced, they will
get married again in the future. Stop thinking about all those nonsense! Emily is a nice girl, so you
treat her nicely. I''ll pretend I didn''t hear what you said just now."
