I heard the sound of high-heeled footsteps coming from behind me. I turned around and saw Vanessa hurry over with a furious expression on her face.

When she looked around and found the bodyguards who had been hitting me, she frowned.

However, when she saw Josh with his bloody nose, her expression turned worried.

“What happened? Who hit you?”

When Vanessa showed up, Josh’s voice instantly turned soft.

“Nessa, you have to help me!”

“What in the world happened here? Who dares to beat someone else up in the Whitecastle family’s territory?”

She turned to look straight at me.

When I met her shocked gaze, I sighed and struggled to get up.

“You got here right on time, Vanessa! This involves our marriage arrangement. You have to give me an—”

She slapped me before I could finish speaking. The sting of it rooted me to the spot.

“Redmond Day, how dare you hit my husband? Do you have a death wish?”

Looking at Josh, I laughed out of anger and disbelief. I pointed at Vanessa and said, “What gives him the right to call the shots here? Have you gone mad?”

“Josh doesn’t have any bad intentions here. You’re the one who’s gone overboard, Redmond! I never agreed to the marriage arrangement. Why have you come to cause a fuss here?”

I looked at the necklace she wore around her neck. It was called the “Pearl of the Ocean.” My mother had spent fifty million dollars at an auction to get it as an engagement gift for Vanessa.

“You didn’t agree to it? Then, why are you wearing that necklace?”

Vanessa laughed in disdain at that.

“I never asked the Day family for a single cent. It was your family that threw all this money at me. Besides, as my supposed fiance, shouldn’t you be giving me things?”

I was stunned by her twisted logic. Who did she think she was?

“Well, if you’re so disdainful of the engagement gifts we gave you, you can just reject the marriage offer!”

The Day family did not need the money we spent on her, but I was always disgusted by this kind of greed.

Vanessa was shocked that I yelled at her and stumbled a step back. Josh quickly held her steady.

“You’re pregnant, Nessa. You should be more careful. It’s not worth it to get worked up because of that guy.”

My temper flared again after hearing this.

How could Vanessa become pregnant with some other man’s baby when she was supposed to be engaged to me?

“You’d better return all of the Day family’s engagement gifts as soon as possible!”

Vanessa replied, sounding flabbergasted, “Don’t you have a heart, Redmond? I got pregnant while I was still engaged to you! Shouldn’t you take some responsibility? I’ll dissolve the engagement, but I’m not returning the gifts!”

I scoffed and walked menacingly toward her.

Coldly, I said, “You’re greedy, and your man is relying on you because of me. Don’t you both just want the Day family’s money? Well, I’m telling you now that you’re not getting it!”

After comforting Vanessa, Josh grabbed a bodyguard’s baton with a vicious look in his eyes. He swung the baton at me.

“You think you’re so great just because you have money! You’re just a poser!”

I wanted to hit back, but a couple of bodyguards restrained me once again.

“Hit him! Show him who’s in charge!”

The baton landed hard on my body and split my skin.

The bodyguards did not dare to go too far, but Josh kept aiming the baton at my head.

Blood streamed down my face, and I was beaten to a pulp.

Seeing how badly hurt I was getting, the passersby all scrambled away, looking worried.

“Learned your lesson now, punk?”

My body was at its limit. Meanwhile, when she saw me bloodied, Vanessa waved a hand in disgust.

“Enough. He’s learned his lesson.”

She walked forward to stand before me. Condescendingly, she said, “You don’t know how much Josh has suffered because of the marriage arrangement between us. The engagement gifts are just small forms of compensation, and they’ll be used to raise our baby. I still haven’t paid you back for the grief Josh has gone through.”

“How can you be so unreasonable?” I demanded.

“You don’t need to explain anything to this sort of person, Vanessa. He will never understand the love we have,” Josh said.

Seeing the two of them disgusted me. I was already determined to destroy the Whitecastle family.

“How dare you let them do this to me, Vanessa? Do you want to drag your family down with you?”

When she heard this, Vanessa chuckled as if she had heard a joke. “Two years ago, I might have considered the reputation of our two families. Now, though, the Day family is nothing!

“The Whitecastle Group has gotten countless contracts in the past two years. We’re leaders in all industries. Your family only holds a couple of assets. You became irrelevant ages ago. ”

I swallowed a mouthful of blood and glared at her. “Without the Day family, no one would ever have taken the Whitecastle Group seriously! You think too much of yourself!”

Vanessa had no clue that the Whitecastle Group only got all those partnerships because the Day Group vouched for them.

I could not believe that Vanessa would think the Whitecastle Group owned Genera just because the company got a few measly contracts.

At that thought, I burst into laughter at their ignorance.

Josh was furious when he heard what I said. He grabbed me by the hair and said threateningly, “Don’t think you have any power here, Redmond! Be a good boy and just dissolve the engagement. If you don’t, you’re not getting out of here in one piece.”

Vanessa added, “You’re not only going to dissolve the engagement, Redmond. You also need to apologize to Josh. I want you to feel the shame Josh went through because of you!”

As they stood together and stared down at me, the pair ordered the bodyguards to release me.

After all the beatings I suffered, my body felt weak. My vision was blurred from the blood running into my eyes.

“Were you hit in the head? I told you to apologize!”

Josh kicked the back of my knees, sending me to the cold, hard ground. I landed so hard that I almost felt my knees crack.

“I will make the Whitecastle family disappear from Genera today.”

When he saw the poor, bloodied state I was in, Josh chuckled.

“Have you gone mad, Redmond? Do you know how powerful the Whitecastle family is now? Do you think it’s as weak as it used to be?”

Vanessa huffed and said mockingly, “Let me tell you something. Genera belongs to the Whitecastle family now!”

I snickered and took my phone from my pocket with a shaking hand.

I told my assistant, “Mr. Turner, I want all of the Whitecastle family’s businesses to be bankrupt within two hours. Let’s see if Genera really does belong to the Whitecastle family!”

On the other end of the line, Henry Turner was aghast. Who had offended Redmond so badly?

Had the Whitecastle family gone nuts?

Seeing me make my phone call as if they were not even there, Josh clicked his tongue. He walked over to me.

“You can settle this by just apologizing. Why do you have to take it so far? We’re being very merciful already!”

Seeing how injured I was, Josh was at least a little careful. He only grabbed me by the hair as he threatened me.

I kicked Josh in the stomach and shouted, “Get lost! Who needs your mercy?”

Josh was sent stumbling back into Vanessa.

Suddenly, Vanessa started bleeding.

I laughed at this.

“This is exactly what you deserve!”

“Are you alright, Nessa?” Josh looked at Vanessa worriedly.

Vanessa looked at the blood and yelled, “I didn’t think you were so heartless, Redmond! Break his legs!”

At that, Josh looked at me. His eyes flashed with a slight frenzy.

He got into the car, and he had the bodyguards position me with my legs in front of the tire.

“You’re dead, Redmond!” he yelled as he hit the gas pedal.

“You’re too kind, Vanessa. The Day family is nothing now. He injured you, so I want his whole family to pay for it!”

Lying on the ground, I panted hard. The car was getting close to me, and I could feel the pain of the tire pressing down on me.

“You’d better stop now, Vanessa! If you do, you can still get out of this!”

Josh looked at Vanessa and said, “You shouldn’t be merciful to this sort of person, Nessa!”

Vanessa shot me a vicious look. She gritted out, “You’re nothing but a beast, Redmond!”

After she said this, Josh released the handbrake, and the car rolled ruthlessly right over my legs.

I heard my bones shatter.

Before I could even scream, Josh reversed the car and drove it over my legs again.

Vanessa smirked as she watched.

My cries rang out through the parking lot.

Josh’s voice came over the sound of the car’s engine.

“You asked for this, Redmond!”

I wanted to escape, but the bodyguards were still holding me down, and I could barely move.

The car rolled over my legs again and again.

I watched as my legs became nothing but a bloody pulp.

Suddenly, an SUV crashed through the wire fence and forced Josh’s car to a stop.

“How dare you interfere!” Josh yelled as he got out of the car and rushed the other car.

The door of the other car opened, and a team of muscular bodyguards rushed out. They pinned Josh to the ground.

“What are you doing? This is the Whitecastle family’s territory! You can’t just barge in here!”

I looked over to find that they were my family’s bodyguards.

Coldly, I ordered, “I want the Whitecastle family to disappear from Genera in half an hour!”
