Chapter 214 The Confrontation


    There wasn’t much a dy on their way over. When Marshall parked the car in front of the Bet


    mansion, screams could still be heard inside.


    Katherine, sighing in relief, was all pumped up and ready to fight.


    Giving her a look, Marshall said, “Chix, will you? At least find out what’s going on first.”


    But Kyle, even in more of a hurry than her, had already charged outside before Marshall could finish


    speaking.


    Kicking on the closed front gate, Kyle shouted, “David, Patrick, and Alexis Bet, and, what’s her


    name, oh right, Ariel Kingsey. Come out here and exin to me what you’ve done to Hex. If any of you


    lot evenys a finger on him, there’s going to be hell to pay.”


    Hand on the car door handle, Katherine frowned. When she went to Be & Co. with Hector, David


    changed Hector’s title off the cuff for her sake. Then, since Kyle carried even more weight than her,


    why didn’t David treat Hector better for Kyle’s sake? That she couldn’t understand.


    As Kyle was yelling, someone that seemed to be a maid came out, and went back inside upon seeing


    him.


    Katherine and Marshall got out of the car and stood by the gate. Kyle was kicking and hitting the iron


    fence gate and shouting endlessly, while Katherine gazed at the living room.


    Out came Hector after only a couple of seconds, with a neutral expression on his face.


    Hector walked over and opened the gate. “What are you all doing here?”


    Giving him a thorough scan, Kyle asked, “You alright? Did they hit you? Leave it to me if you don’t want


    to fight. I’ll beat the shit out of these assholes for you.”


    “That wouldn’t be necessary. Everything’s totally fine,” sighed Hector.


    On the side, Marshall asked, “Not nning to invite us in?”


    Hector seemed hesitant as he nced between Marshall and Katherine. But Kyle, not one for guest


    manners, marched in the living room’s direction in hasty strides.


    Katherine was about to follow when Marshall grabbed her arm. “Stay back.”


    “Huh?” said Katherine, not knowing what he meant.


    “Did you all get into a quarrel?” Marshall asked Hector.


    “Nothing serious, really,” replied Hector, a corner of his mouth slightly raised, “just a small argument


    that has since gone away.”


    Right as he finished speaking, there were cracking noisesing from inside the house that sounded


    like shattering ss. Then came Kyle’s loud cursing.


    Marshall and Hector immediately headed inside the house, followed by Katherine with hurried


    footsteps.


    There were in fact quite some people in the living room. All the Bets were there, with old Mr.


    Bet sitting on the sofa and coughing incessantly, looking absolutely furious. Ariel Kingsey was


    standing by his side, and around herid countless shards of objects that looked like water sses and


    vases.


    Standing by the door, Katherine looked around to find all of the Bet children standing motionlessly,


    looking sullen.


    Kyle, not knowing exactly what happened, cursed profusely at them for mistreating Hector.


    Katherine took the opportunity to inch closer to Hector, and her motion made Marshall shoot her a


    quick nce with his body half turned. Not feeling his stare, Katherine stood beside Hector and asked


    with a low volume, “What is it exactly? Did you have a confrontation with these people?”


    Hector nodded lightly. “Check out Patrick.”


    Turning her head, Katherine found Patrick Bet standing on the side with his back straight. One of


    his cheeks looked reddish and a little swollen. Turning to Hector, she asked, “Did you hit him?”


    “Mm-hmm,” answered Hector.


    “Well done,” nodded Katherine. The haughty and aggressive attitude of that man made her dislike him


    almost immediately back at Bet being the most legitimate child among them, he wasn’t as


    annoying as Patrick.


    Beside Patrick stood Alexis, who was watching Kyle sashaying around the room. Kyle was standing in


    front of Katherine, so naturally, Alexis’ eyes fell on her.


    Thest time Alexis saw her, Katherine had apanied Hector to thepany, where David


    promoted Hector to the position of VP straight away. Hector, who didn’t know anything about anything.


    What was wrong with this Katherine Jordan woman? Because who would willingly associate


    themselves with a lowlife like Hector?


    Increasingly angry at the thought, Alexis simply could hardly contain herself. “This is a private, family


    matter. What the hell are you people doing here, supporting that bastard? I guess birds of a feather


    really do flock together. Look at this sorry bunch…”


    Before she could finish, Kyle had already hoisted up arge vase from the hallway and hurled it right at


    her direction. “You wanna say that again?”


    Kyle missed his aim, and the massive vasended in front of Alexis, breaking into pieces with a bang.


    Startled, Alexis stared at the shattered vase, while by her side, Ariel made a loud scream and inched


    towards Kevin to hide from the broken pieces.


    Pointing at Kyle, old Mr. Bet demanded irately, “What are you doing acting up in my house?”


    ring back, Kyle answered, “You should know by now that I act up everywhere. Now, this is an official


    warning. Stay on my good side or prepare to face my wrath, because I know all the dirty little details of


    your past.”


    Turning his stare at Ariel, Kyle said, “And you. I know everything you have ever done. You’ve got a lot


    of nerve calling Hex a bastard, when your own children aren’t even born legitimately themselves.”


    Standing behind Kyle, Katherine secretly apuded his stamina and effect.


    Frowning, Marshall nced around andnded his eyes on David Bet, who he had met and had a


    few drinks with at work-rted functions before.


    David was looking displeased, too, but all in all, he didn’t have much to do with the row, and he was


    actually also tired of his endlessly bickering family.


    David took notice of Marshall’s stare. “Sorry you had to witness all this, Mr. Grant,” he sighed.


    Nomittally, Marshall replied, “I’ve heard gossips before, but still, this has truly been eye-opening.”


    David looked too embarrassed to respond.


    Over on the side, Alexis, who had been staring at the broken pieces of the vase, suddenly went


    hysterical with no reason. Stepping forward, she plunged down to pick up the biggest piece of the


    fragments and chucked it at Kyle. “Nobody that is not a Bet gets to have a say in our family


    business. Get out, all of you!”


    Alexis had better aim than Kyle, apparently, as the fragment, almost the size of half the original vase,


    went directly flying towards him.


    Kyle was quick to respond, as he swerved to avoid the fragment.

    The thing was, he was standing in front of Katherine, who was watching Marshall as she tried to listen


    in on his conversation with David. In the business world, Marshall was known as a master of


    negotiation with a strong presence. His way of dealing with this kind of situation was in fact much more


    effective than Kyle’s smashing around.


    Deep in her thoughts, Katherine didn’t at all register the object darting towards her. She just sensed


    something getting bigger and bigger from the corner of her eyes.
