Chapter 140

As the guards rushed toward Matthias, a woman suddenly threw herself between them, shouting, "Stop! Everyone, stop!"

Despite her disapproval of Matthias' rash actions, Nadine could not stand by and watch her daughter's husband be harmed.

"Dad, please forgive him. It's their first time here, and he doesn't know our rules. You can't punish someone for what they don't know," Nadine pleaded, her eyes red with tears.

"Silence! You have no right to speak here. Get back!" Carlile snapped, his face flushed with anger.

Then, he glared at Matthias with contempt. "This loser dared to threaten me in Havenwood. Now, he dares to talk about destroying us? If we don't break his legs today, how will we maintain order in the Reilley family?"

"Carlile, he's Leona's husband!" Nadine cried in disbelief, shocked by her husband's cruelty.

Delilah chimed in mockingly, "Aunt Nadine, just step aside. This man is digging his own grave. Threatening to destroy us? Breaking his legs is letting him off easy."
