Chapter 13
Jacob suppressed his imitation and lifted his chin slightly, his eyes gleaming with disdain.
Lassume that you’re not the type to take something that already belongs to someone else, are you? Let me be blunt. Nicole is my girlfriend, and we’ve been together for three years. Surely, you won’t be interested in someone who has been used before, right?”
Before he could finish his beating, Aaron’s expression darkened, and a menacing edge flickered in his eyes. He shot him a cold glare, and his words were as cutting
as a sword.
“What relationship do you have with Nicole? You got dumped, but still cling to her like a stray puppy. Mr. Escobar, you’re really something else.”
Color instantly drained from Jacob’s face.
His chest bumed with rage. He clenched his teeth and spar, “Even if we’re over, it’s only because Nicole’s playing a game to get my attention. You have no right to come between us, Mr. Compton. Do you understand?”
Compared to his rege, Aaron merely scoffed. “What if I want to get involved?”
“Mr. Compton!”
Jacob had always been a spoiled, wealthy heirwho was reckless and used to getting his way. For that reason, even if the person standing before him was Aason, he wasn’t afraid
The Escobar family had held their ground in Silverwood for years and were not to be underestimated.
Jacob took a step forward, standing toe to toe with Aaron. The tension between them crackled in the air like a lit fuse.

At that moment, a shrill, mocking volce pierced the air
Jacob turned his head, and his expression faltered the moment he saw a broad–shouldered figure approaching. He was surprised to see Silverwood’s undefeated boxing champion for five years in a row there.

man grinned, his voice rich with sarcasm. “Aaron, do these half–grown punks think they can pick a fight with you now? Do you need me to teach him a lesson?” Aaron’s dark eyes turned icy again as he lost all his patience. He instructed, “Take care of him for me.” Then, as it remembering something, he added, “Don’t go easy on him.”
The boxer chuckled loudly and cracked has wackles with anticipation. “You got it. I’ll be sure to look after him well,
As Autor timed and walked away, Jacob’s agonizing screams echoed from behind.
Aaron merely chuckled at the sound.
That night, Jacoli didn’t return to the VIP lounge. He dejectedly left the nightclub and ignored all of his friends‘ calls.
His fare was black and blue, swelled beyond recognition, and his ribs were broken in multiple places. He had never been in such a temble state before.
When he returned home and saw his reflection, his expression contorted with wrath. He blamed it all on Nicole.
He believed she was a fraud, pretending to be vitious and noble. After all, why would Aaron help her if she hadn’t already thrown herself at him?
