Chapter 8
Warren froze.
All of a sudden, he grabbed Melanie’s hand and pulled her onto the stage.“Let’s start.”
Everyone was stunned.
What was going on?
Seeing no reaction, Warren frowned slightly, his voice turning cold.“This is my engagement party, isn’t it? Why are you just standing there?”
Words failed Araceli.
She never expected that.
It was the first time she saw Warren, who never cared about anyone, looking so eager.
His parents were also stunned.
Sure enough, it was best for him to pick his wife.
He was both eager and terrified now.
Bethany didn’t know what to say.
Did he think Melanie was just a random girl?
Did he want to take her away?
The atmosphere turned awkward.
Everyone was looking at Estelle.
She wished she could disappear.
Her fiancé was not only breaking off their engagement. He wanted to get engaged to another woman at her own party.
Did he even care about her at all?
Tears welled up in Estelle’s eyes. She grabbed Winona’s hand and sobbed, “Mom, Mr. Fulton is marrying Melanie. What am I supposed to do? You know I’ve loved him since we were kids. I took Melanie’s place for years. I owe her, but Mr. Fulton is the one I truly love.”
Winona’s heart ached. She gently wiped Estelle’s tears. “Don’t worry. No one can take away what’s meant to be yours.”
Then she stepped forward and shouted, “Melanie, haven’t you caused enough trouble? The switch wasn’t Esty’s fault. Why do you keep targeting her? Since you came back, you’ve hit her and now you’re trying to steal her fiancé. Why are you so full of hatred?”
Melanie had just raised her foot to kick Warren off the stage, but Winona’s words stopped her.
She slowly lowered her leg and gave Winona a cold stare.
Simon stared at Melanie coldly and said in a low voice, “I warned you not to cross Esty. But you didn’t listen. Just because Grandma supports you doesn’t mean I can’t touch you. You gave up on this engagement yourself. Now you’re trying to take it back and humiliate Esty in front of everyone. If this gets messy, don’t say I didn’t warn you.”
He continued, expressionless, “You have two choices. Explain things to Warren and apologize to Estelle, or I’ll have someone throw you

out.”
Melanie laughed.
That was the funniest thing she had heard in a while.
She lifted her foot, just about to walk toward Simon, but Warren moved before she did.
He walked slowly, his commanding presence making the crowd part.
Stopping in front of Simon, he casually spun the ring Melanie had given him and said coldly, “Are you threatening her?”

Simon looked up, unafraid.“Warren, I don’t care what happened between you and Melanie before. But now, you’re Esty’s fiancé. You need to end things with Melanie.”
He glanced at Melanie.“And yes, I was threatening her. If she keeps pestering you, I’ll personally kick her out of the Rasmussen family.”
Before Simon could finish, Warren moved.
No one saw how it happened. By the time they realized, Simon’s hand was broken.
Before anyone could react, Warren kicked him across the hall.
The force sent Simon crashing to the floor,, coughing up blood.
The crowd gasped.
Warren picked up a chair and walked slowly toward Simon.
Simon, lying on the ground, tried to crawl away, but Warren kept closing in.
He looked up and saw Warren walking toward him with a chair.
Warren walked slowly, and the hotel lights shone on him, making him look like a demon from hell. It was really creepy.
Simon struggled to back away, but every time he took a step back, Warren moved a step closer.
Behind Simon was a locked door. There was no escape.
“W–What are you doing?” Simon stammered, trying to stand but failing. Yet, he was drained of strength and could only threaten, “Our grandmothers are best friends. If you hurt me, they’ll become enemies!”
Araceli and Bethany exchanged a glance and then looked away.
Enemies?
Not a chance.
Even if Warren wiped out the entire Rasmussen family today, their bond wouldn’t break.
No one understood how deep their friendship was.
Warren stood over Simon, one hand in his pocket, the other holding a chair. His voice was colder than ever.“You dared to bully my
woman?”
A loud bang was heard.
Warren didn’t give Simon a chance to speak and just swung the stool down at his leg.

< Chapter 8
A painful scream came from the banquet hall.
Warren pulled out a pack of wet wipes and slowly cleaned the hand he’d just used to pick up the chair. Then, without warning, he grabbed the nearest person and asked calmly, “Got any cash?”
“Huh?” The man jumped, startled. He hadn’t done anything to offend Warren. Why was he suddenly the target of his anger?
He didn’t react for a while.
Before he could even process the question, he found himself staring into Warren’s cold eyes.
“Y–Yes…” he stammered, quickly pulling out a stack of cash from his briefcase.“16 thousand dollars. Is that enough?”
Who even carried cash these days?
Menu
That money was payment he’d just received before the party. He hadn’t even had time to deposit it, and now Warren was taking it just
like that.
The key thing was, he wasn’t a relative of the Rasmussen family or the Fulton family!
He came to attend the engagement party, but only realized he was in the wrong hall after coming in.
He was about to leave, but saw that the groom was Warren, head of Chicago’s Fulton family, so he sat down without thinking.
He never expected that he would suddenly be hit by such a disaster.
He felt like crying.
“That’s enough.” Warren took the money and tossed it to Simon.“For your medical bills.”
Then he threw the used wipe at Simon’s feet. “Remember. You can mess with me, but not my woman. Next time, you won’t be so lucky. I’ll make sure every hospital in Atlanta has a bed ready for you.”
A scream cut through the air.
Winona finally snapped out of her shock.“Simon! Are you okay?”
She turned to the nearby waiter, furious.“What are you all standing there for? Get him to the hospital now!”
Simon was carried out before he could say another word.
Winona stormed over to Araceli, seething. “Madam Fulton, don’t you think you owe us an explanation? You insisted that Esty marry Warren. Now he’s breaking the engagement and nearly killed Simon. Is this how your family treats people?”
