Chapter 452

Meanwhile, Sonny’s emotional trauma would require a significant amount of time to heal.

“How’s that little brat?” Zachary inquired in a low voice.

“I didn’t hit him. Instead, I made his dad slap him until the corners of his mouth were bleeding. We also vandalized their house, and when they threatened to call the police, I told them to go ahead. If anything happened to Sonny, the police could just arrest that little brat.”

“After hearing that, they didn’t dare to say a word.”

Callum recognized that Matthew was still just a child; hitting him would only lead to the Reptons suing him, which was not the outcome they desired. Fortunately, the York brothers outnumbered the Reptons. To protect himself, George cruelly disciplined his eldest son, slapping Matthew until his face was red, swollen, and bleeding.

George showed no mercy when punishing his son, even using a belt.

He blamed Matthew for the significant trouble he had caused after getting caught by Serenity and the York brothers while attacking Sonny. This incident was the reason the York brothers vandalized their home.

George was terrified that something had happened to Sonny. He didn’t anticipate the situation and was unsure how to explain it to his in-laws. In his anger, he took it out on Matthew.

George’s parents lamented that Matthew was merely a child and criticized the York brothers for forcing George to hurt his own son.

Callum countered, “Isn’t Sonny a child as well? Sonny is so young, yet Matthew abused him like that.”

George’s parents were left speechless.

When their own family member made a mistake, the Reptons defended Matthew, insisting he was just a child and that the York brothers should not be so harsh on him. They argued that it was normal for children to…

engage in minor altercations. Was that one of those altercations? Sonny was abused until he ended up in the hospital.

“Zack, when we vandalized their house, we discovered they had surveillance cameras. I reviewed the footage and saw Sonny’s beating recorded in its entirety. I took the hard drive from their surveillance system and kept it in my car.”

Zachary responded in a deep voice, “We called the police as well. When they arrive, let the officers watch the footage.”

Callum nodded in agreement.

Since Sonny’s abuser was also a minor, police might not be able to arrest Matthew. However, Chelsea and George could offer compensation and a formal apology. They would also need to promise to be more strict with Matthew moving forward. This could serve as a warning.

“Stay here. I’ll step outside to make a call,” Zachary said.

Callum nodded.

Zachary exited the ward, walked to a quiet corner, and called Josh.

At that moment, Josh was riding his newly purchased bicycle, gently holding a rose between his teeth. Upon reaching the entrance of Beans and Cream, he received Zachary’s call.

Thinking his friend was checking on his blind date, Josh stopped, propped his slender legs on the ground to stabilize the bicycle, and removed the rose from his mouth to answer the call from his friend and boss.

Josh expected Zachary to inquire about the evidence regarding Hank’s property transfer. As soon as the call connected, he said, “Zachary, I’ll organize the evidence after my blind date. I’ll print it out and send it to you later.”

“You don’t need it right now since it’s the weekend, right?”

City Hall was closed on weekends.

“You can send me that evidence later. Can you help me find out where Hank’s sister and brother-in-law work? Also, please suppress Waltham.”

Electronics should send a message to their boss stating that to save the company, they only need to eliminate Hank and that woman, Jessica. “Spread the word that any company daring to hire Hank and his mistress will become enemies of York Corporation. I don’t care how you do it—make sure Hank’s sister and brother-in-law are fired as well!”

Zachary intended to wait for Liberty and Hank’s divorce before orchestrating Hank’s downfall. However, he couldn’t afford to delay any longer, especially since Sonny was being bullied. Even if his true identity were to be revealed eventually, he wanted the Browns to lose everything.

Anyone who dared to harm his nephew would be courting death! Since death was unfamiliar to them, Zachary was determined to teach them its meaning.
