A Life Beyond Limits (Jack Holland) novel Chapter 818

But it was her existence that had changed everything. As a result, Emily felt immense guilt toward Jack.

Even so, when Samantha and the rest turned cold, accusing eyes on them, Emily instinctively stepped in front of Jack. Her message was clear; if anyone dared disrespect her son, they'd have to go through her first.

Just then, Galileo's father, Trevor Rabine, stepped forward. He was Josie's husband and by nature, a timid man. The only reason he'd ever caught Josie's eye was because of his good looks.

Under the Lycan family's powerful influence, he'd managed to secure a role of deputy department official—nothing influential, but enough to live well.

Normally, Trevor kept his head down in the Lycan household, never daring to overstep. But who did Jack think he was?

He was just some kid from the countryside with the Lycans blood. Did Jack really believe he belonged here?

If it weren't for Vincent being ill, the family wouldn't even give him the time of day. And now, this nobody had the nerve to lay hands on his son and disrespect him?

For once, Trevor decided to act tough. He pointed straight at Jack and snapped, "Did you beat my son? Who the hell do you think you are? You dared to raise a hand against him? You must have a death wish. Apologize, now! Or else I'll slap you right now."

Josie was glaring daggers at Jack, and Lillian was trembling with fury, as if she wanted to tear him apart.

People like that? The more Jack crushed their pride, the better it felt.

"You… You're completely out of line! Living in the countryside turned you into a thug. Even if you came back to the Lycan family, you would never accomplish anything! You're nothing but a disgrace and a burden to the family!"

Trevor was so furious he felt like his chest would explode. He wanted nothing more than to slap Jack across the face. But deep down, Trevor was a coward. And when he saw the dangerous glint in Jack's eyes, his courage failed him.

Trevor was genuinely afraid that if he tried anything, Jack might actually hit back and humiliate him. Besides, standing behind Jack was Quintis, who was a powerful man.
