Chapter 824 Destroy My Family
The birthday banquet descended into chaos as a man, seemingly possessed by madness, chased aftera woman with relentless fervor. He struck her with brutal force as if intent on taking her life.
At the same time, the woman frantically evaded the man’s attacks as she ran, her pleas for assistanceechoing throughout the venue. Alas, the crowd remained frozen in inaction, merely spectating hermisfortune.
The two individuals involved were none other than Shawn and Clara. As the woman cried out forassistance, Shawn seized the opportunity to grab a fistful of her hair.
The intense pain left tears brimming in Clara’s eyes. Regrettably, her visible anguish failed to evoke asense of sympathy in the man as he delivered a callous slap across her face in the next second.
“You’ve destroyed my family, you b*tch. I’m going to beat you to death today. You’re going to pay forwhat you’ve done!” Shawn’s voice echoed through the chaos, his onslaught against Clara intensifying-
As a woman, Clara was not powerful enough to strike back.
The reason no one was helping Clara during her brutal beating soon became clear. Shawn, who hadlost all sense of rationality, resorted to violence against Robert when he tried to help the woman. He hitRobert’s head with a bench, rendering the man unconscious with a profuse bleeding wound.
Naturally, no one dared to intervene after witnessing such a gruesome scene.
The crowd deduced that Clara must have done something terrible to have provoked such a ruthlessresponse from Shawn, to the extent that he dared to incite chaos at the Grant residence and launch afurious assault on Clara.
As a result, they deemed Clara to be deserving of the brutal beating she’d received from the man andpreferred to watch the scene unfold with detached amusement. Even those accompanied bybodyguards chose not to intervene.
At that point, Clara’s body was covered in bruises, her once neatly arranged hair now disheveled, andher clothing in disarray. She looked completely different from her dazzling self when she first arrived atthe banquet
Having grown exhausted from beating her, Shawn grabbed a glass from a nearby table, smashed it onthe ground, and picked up a piece of broken glass before advancing maliciously toward Clara.
“You b*tch. It’s all your fault that everyone in my family is dead. I’ve lost my job, my wife, and mychildren. I’m going to make you pay even if it’s the last thing I do,” he declared.
