Chapter 507

….

Nara immediately waved her hand when she heard this. Matias also said, “Don’t bother. The issue has already been resolved. The Gill family won’t be bothering us anymore!”

Gary froze momentarily when he heard this, then frowned and asked, “How was it resolved? Did they let you go so easily?”

At this point, Gary sighed. “Nara, don’t think too highly of people. I know every one of those Gill family members. None of them are good news, be it Austin or Jackson.”

His expression was one of indignation as he said, “You probably don’t know, but Jackson has bullied so many people in the Freeman Sect. I heard that recently, he almost violated a young woman. And that Austin is even more unreasonable. He’s been acting like the crown prince of Clance, not taking anyone seriously. He has an extremely promiscuous private life. Recently, he even tarnished Mrs. Olsen’s reputation. Do you know who Mrs. Olsen is? She’s the wife of Ellis, the lady from the Davis family.”

Gary was also from the circle of wealthy elites, so he mentioned Mary with a slight sigh. “Did you know? The lady’s position within the Davis family was already a bit awkward, and after being slandered by Austin like this, her days within the Olsen family have been tough. I heard that because of this incident, everyone suspected that her child wasn’t Ellis’s, which caused Ellis and her to go through a divorce… Oh right, Mary, that lady, also lost her baby because of this…”

Nara listened to Gary’s words and bit her lip. She lowered her head and clenched her fists tightly. Matias let out a sigh.

Gary continued. “And there’s your brother. I just heard from the aunt in the neighborhood that Jackson broke his leg. Do you think Jackson would dare act like this without Austin backing him? Without Austin’s tacit approval, would Jackson dare to be so wanton?”

He gently shook his head and then looked at Nara again. “So don’t think that this matter is truly over. It’s not over. Someone vindictive like Austin will definitely keep it in mind, and he surely has something else planned!”

Gary stepped forward, his face filled with concern, and looked toward Matias. “Why don’t you two come with me? You can stay at my place. Our family might not be among the wealthiest, but at the very least, Austin wouldn’t dare to come to my house to bully you anymore. My mom and Lady Gill are distant relatives… in a manner of speaking, she is also his elder… although he has never respected my mom as his elder, not since he was a child.”

The more Nara listened, the darker her expression became. She stared at Gary incredulously and picked up a notebook. “Is what you’re saying true?”

Gary was startled. “What?”

Nara wrote, “The thing you just said about the Davis family and the Olsen family, was Austin involved?”

Gary nodded. “Yes.”

Nara clenched her fists, her eyes filled with disappointment. She slowly lowered her head. After a while, she sighed and made a dismissive gesture toward Gary, writing, “Please go home. I’m fine and want to have some rest.”

Gary wanted to say more, but Matias sensed Nara’s intentions and said, “You should leave. Don’t worry about our family’s issues.”

After hesitating for a long while, Gary reluctantly nodded. “Then I’ll leave for now. Nara, have some rest. I’ll come check on you some other day.”

Nara nodded.

Gary stared at her, still worried. “Nara, are you really okay? You don’t look well. Let me take you to the hospital!”

Matias interjected, “We just came back from the hospital. If there were any issues, the doctor would have already said so! Please don’t trouble yourself.”

Gary appeared torn and tried to persuade him. “No, Matias, I’m just worried about Nara… Maybe I should stay here after all. I’m worried that Austin will come again!”

Seeing his concerned expression, Matias couldn’t help but say, “It’s alright. He won’t make things difficult for us.”

Gary waved his hand. “No, do you think just because he forced Nara to jump off the building, this matter would be over? It’s not. Austin is a malicious person. Even after what happened, he won’t let you off…”

He was in the middle of speaking when a voice suddenly came from the doorway, “Hello…”

Gary turned his head sharply and saw Austin at the door, and Gary instantly stumbled from fright. He instinctively stood in front of Nara, stretching out both hands to protect her, and looked at Austin with panic. “You, what are you doing here again? Austin, let me tell you, my mother is your mother’s distant cousin, and our two families are somewhat related. Don’t mess around…”

Austin stared at him, slightly taken aback, “You are… Gary?”

“Yes… Yes! That’s me!”

Gary had some sense of responsibility. Even though he was terrified, he still didn’t move aside. “I’m telling you, don’t think about bullying Nara again!”

Austin was speechless. He almost rolled his eyes. He took a step forward.

Gary was so terrified that his legs went weak. Apparently, he recalled Austin’s cruel methods and trembled with a look of sheer horror. Matias couldn’t help but twitch the corners of his mouth.

He looked at Austin with a bad attitude. “Why are you here?”

Austin faced Matias with guilt, but even more so, he held a hint of hostility. Because he and his sister were closest in age as children, they had the best relationship in the world. They often made promises, and when their older brothers mistreated them, his sister always stood up for him. Thus, Austin’s affection for his sister was the deepest.

Although he was grateful to Matias for saving his sister, the thought of Matias stealing his sister’s love and how she now only acknowledged this one brother made Austin feel an unbearable pang of jealousy.

He couldn’t help but say, “Why can’t I come here?”

Matias frowned. “This is my house, and you’re not welcome here.”

Austin sneered, “Just because you say I’m not welcome doesn’t mean I can’t come here. Well, I’m here. What are you going to do about it?”

“You…”

Matias was also infuriated by Austin’s brazen attitude. He didn’t say anything.

Gary, however, looked toward Austin and suddenly picked up a broom nearby. “Austin, I’m telling you, don’t even think about bullying Nara again. I’m going to protect her today! You better leave. Otherwise… Otherwise, I won’t be so civil anymore!”

Austin took a step forward. “And what are you going to do to me?”

This action frightened Gary so much that his grip weakened, and the broom fell to the ground. He crouched down, trembling, and covered his head. “Don’t hit me! Please don’t hit me!”

Seeing this, Austin scoffed and directly addressed Gary. “I’m not here to bully Nara today, and I won’t bully her in the future, either.”

Gary looked up in disbelief. “How is that possible? Do you think I would believe what you said?”

Austin took a deep breath and said, “Do you know what my relationship with Nara is?”
