Chapter 154 

Ignoring the pain, Evan reached out to support Mason. 

Mason couldn’t collapse at a time like this. Otherwise, he wouldn’t know what to do.

Now, all he felt was a buzzing in his head like Bianca. His knees were completely weak, and he just wanted to kneel and beg for forgiveness. 

“Dad, we’re finished,” Evan said, his voice full of collapse. 

Mason was drenched in cold sweat as if trapped in a nightmare, desperately wanting to wake up. 

However, he knew it was not a nightmare, but the real world. 

Mason took deep breaths before he could stand up, holding onto the chair beside him. His legs went weak as he stood up, and he almost fell again. 

“Evan, Bianca, come with me.” 

Mason walked toward Patrick and Juliette. His legs were weak, his steps were unsteady, and his breathing was rapid. 

It could be said that they used all their strength to walk before Patrick and Juliette. 

at that moment. 

Juliette watched the three of them, a seemingly harmonious family at that 

Patrick, on the other hand, was looking at her. 

He had been paying close attention to Juliette’s reaction ever since Keegan came in. 

He had never told Juliette he was the fourth young master of the Clarke family. 

‘Would she be angry with me now that she heard the news?‘ thought Patrick. 

Patrick’s face was like ice, but his heart felt as if it was soaked in hot oil, suffering tremendously. 

However, after watching Juliette for so long, he didn’t see any reaction from Juliette. She was cold. 

Only when she looked at Louis did her eyes soften. 

Other people and things didn’t seem to matter to her. 

“Mr. Clarke…” Mason began. 

Patrick’s gaze shifted from Janet to him. 

It was just a glance, but its power was so overwhelming, like huge pressure down on him. Mason’s legs instantly went weak. 

Though he didn’t want to kneel, he fell to his knees uncontrollably, making a heavy thud. 

Evan and Bianca were both stunned when they saw that. Thinking that Mason had knelt down voluntarily, they followed 

suit. 

The thudding sounds had a rhythmic quality to them.

Mason was stunned. He looked left and right and saw that his children were also kneeling He was speechless 

He wanted to stand up, but his legs were weak and he couldn’t.

Mason thought for a moment and decided to stay kneeling, ‘Maybe this would appease Patrick’s anger? thonga Mason 

“Mr. Clarke, there was a misunderstanding just now Mason wiped away his tears. His aged face was full of vicisitudes, 

“I am Juliette’s father. Thinking she has been married for too long and is estranged from us. We, as her family, are sad, 

“So we took the initiative to invite the child over and then invited Juliette over, but she misunderstood. She misunderstood we were going to hurt the child. So after she came, she started to hit us. 

“We thought about what happened before, and it was our fault, so we kept holding back and let her hit us. Mr. Clarke, look. My children and I are seriously injured. This is the result of our tolerance. 

“We were all afraid Juliette would be injured, so we didn’t fight back and let her vent. But after she beat us, she still wanted to leave. Just now, I was anxious and wanted to keep her here. 

“Her mother misses her so much and wants me to take her home for a meal. That’s why I wanted Keegan to help. I had no other malicious intentions. Her mother is not in good health. If Juliette could go home and see her mother, her mother’s condition would improve a lot. 

“In addition, we also want to have a good relationship with her as her family, but she has refused to forgive us. But we still want her as a family member very much in our hearts.” 

Mason spoke slowly, sadly, with tears streaming down his face. 

It was as if everything he said was true. 

It was as if he was an old father whose heart had been broken by his unfilial daughter. 

“Yes, Mr. Clarke,” Evan added. “Look at our injuries. My face…She did this to my face! I didn’t even fight back once. I’m her brother. How could I ever hurt my sister, even if it hurt me?” 

Evan’s face was indeed covered in wounds, some still bleeding. It was a gruesome sight. 

Juliette didn’t offer any explanation. 

As Evan raised his head, Juliette covered Louis’s eyes. 

She didn’t want Louis to see such a horrifying sight and have nightmares. 

Patrick glanced at Juliette before giving a cold “Hmm.” He asked, “So, what are your thoughts now?” 

Thoughts? 

The Vaughn family exchanged glances. What thoughts could they possibly have at this point? 

“Of course, we want Juliette to come home,” Mason said. “The Vaughn family’s door will always be open to her. As long as she’s willing to come back, we’ll always be her family. 

“Also, if it’s alright with you, Mr. Clarke, we’d love for you and Juliette to join us for a meal at the Vaughn residence. However, we’re all injured today, so it’s not a good day for that. We’d like to invite you and Juliette to a meal another day.” 

Mason’s tone was super flattering.

“Yes. This place is covered in blood. It’s not suitable to stay,” Patrick said coldly.

Keegan said, “Til arrange a luxury suite for Mrs Clarke and Louis right away. Clean clothes will be delivered immediately 

Patrick nodded slightly. “Leave some people here to clean up. Don’t alarm the other guests.” 

Keegan looked at Patrick’s face and understood. 

Juliette held Louis Patrick put his arm around Juliette, and then they left. 

The Vaughn family of three watched them leave, feeling as if the pressure on them was being left away bit by bit. 

They breathed a long sigh of relief, feeling like they had survived. 

Neither Patrick nor Juliette did anything to them, which meant they weren’t too upset with them. 

The crisis was over, and Mason immediately thought of the positive side of things. 

Juliette is the daughter of the Vaughn family, and Patrick is Juliette’s husband, which makes Patrick the son–in–law of the Vaughn family. 

Now that the Vaughn family and the Clarke family have become in–laws, won’t we make a fortune in the future?” 

The more Mason thought about it, the more excited he became. He felt full of energy and strength returned to his legs. 

They helped each other to their feet. 

Only then did they realize Keegan and the bodyguards hadn’t left. 

“Keegan, it’s inconvenient to entertain you today. It’s too messy here.” Mason said. 

“My men will stay and help clean up,” Keegan said. 

Mason thought, Keegan is so good at handling things. He knows to please me, Clarke’s in–laws so quickly. No wonder he can become the second–in–command of Clarke Group at such a young age. 

Thinking that in his heart, Mason pretended to be polite, saying, “It’s too much trouble, isn’t it? I’m so sorry to bother you, Keegan. You don’t have to go through so much trouble.” 

Keegan smiled slightly and signaled to the bodyguards behind him to go. 

The bodyguards showed up with three large sacks. They stuffed them inside and started beating them. 

The three were stunned, screaming inside the sacks. 

It was too loud. Keegan signaled them to stop, then said, “Mr. Clarke told me to make it clean. To avoid getting blood or other fluids on the ground, we can only put you in sacks. Please bear with us, Mr. Vaughn.” 

After Jason finished speaking, his men continued to beat them.
