208 I Might As Well Do This in His Place
At this moment, there were three gasps that had finally managed to escape the mouths of three people.
"Jack!?"
"Johnathan!?"
The first came from Katelyn while the last one came from Arthur and Celine. None of them had expected that the person who had just arrived would be here at all.
The person that had arrived was none other than Johnathan. He had come here because he wanted to talk to Celine about something. He had gone to her office but he had found that she was out.
When he asked around, he was informed that she had gone to her mother's office. And that was the exact reason as to why he was here.
Actually, he could have waited because he wasn't here to talk about something very important anyway. But, he had heard the staff murmuring to each other that there was going to be trouble in Katelyn's office.
Since he could help and wasn't ready to have Celine getting in trouble, he decided to come over and look. In the end, what he found was something that pissed him off.
Arthur was someone that he disliked the most in the family. Not to speak of the misconduct of his, there was also a fact that he always tried using his father's influence in the family to press him down.
At the end of the day, Arthur's father had a lot more power than Anita. But, due to his fighting capabilities as well as business mind, his grandfather had always supported him. Otherwise, he might have already been eliminated from the competition of the family head.
Johnathan looked at the three men who were holding Celine and Katelyn and stated coldly, "Remove those filthy hands from them."
His voice was stern, indicating that he wasn't joking around at all. The coldness in his voice sent shivers down the spines of the three and they immediately backed away from the two.
Arthur who saw this scene was already bursting with fury in his heart. He had just managed to get the girl that he wanted but, Johnathan just had to swoop in and ruin everything.
But, what made him angry the most was the fact that his men had obeyed Johnathan's words immediately instead of trying to hold on until they received his own command.
But at the end of the day, the three of them had done that on instinct. They knew Johnathan all too well. If they dared to offend him, he would simply beat them up.
Even if they wanted to resist, they were no match for him at all. Although they were not the ones that had been beaten up recently or ever, they had seen some people who were stronger than them being beaten black and blue by Johnathan.
Katelyn who was already together with Celine ignored the pain that she was feeling on her cheek that had already reddened and looked at the scene with widened eyes. She couldn't understand what was going on here at all.
According to what she knew, this person in front of her was Jack. But in the end, not only Arthur, but even Celine called him Johnathan instead of Jack.
She wanted to know what was going on. But, what was happening continued stunning her further.
The arrogant Arthur, although she could tell that he was angry, due to his rushed breathing, she could see that he had no intention of taking any action.
In other words, this 'Johnathan' was someone that Arthur couldn't even go against at all. He could only stand at the side, feeling angry while all the plans that he had made were being ruined.
Johnathan who was now looking at the situation of the two women, the frown on his face tensed up even further. At the moment, he was thinking, 'I'm pretty sure that if Jack finds out that I was here and simply let the fool that dared to lay his hands on his girlfriend and her mother go, he would definitely make sure that I compensate him with more than the shares that he asked for.'
So, he looked at the three and asked, "Who is it that dared to hit her? Although I have seen who it was that was there, I want to exactly know who it was that hit her."
The moment that Johnathan asked the question, the three people felt their scalps tingling. The two that didn't touch Katelyn immediately pointed to the guy who was between them.
The guy wanted to cry at that moment. He was now crying in his mind, 'Didn't you guys say that we are brothers and we will stand together in whatever situation? Why are you outing me out now?'
As for the ones that had pointed out who did the deed, they didn't care about what he was thinking at all. At this moment, they were thankful that they were not the ones that had slapped Katelyn.
The instant that the person was identified by the others, Johnathan made his move. Before the guy could even put up some resistance, a fist landed on his chest.
At that moment, he felt that he had a bone that cracked due to the sheer force behind the punch. He was thrown backwards and hit the wall.
While Arthur was almost having his face dripping with blood due to how red it was from the anger that he was holding in, the other two bodyguards of his didn't think that Johnathan's actions were strange at all.
They had seen several scenes where he acted like this. But, the question in their minds at the moment was, what was the relationship between Johnathan and the two ladies?
They were just thinking that they had dodged the fate of their partner when they suddenly felt someone's gaze falling on them. This made their body tense up.
"Now back to you two. Since you dare to lay your hands on her, do you think that I'm going to let you go?" Johnathan asked as he looked at the two coldly. The two also faced the same fate as their partner.
Johnathan then stated, "You better not think that this is enough of a punishment to you. Once we get back, I will make sure that you face a punishment that is suitable for those like you who abuse the family's power."
Arthur on the other hand couldn't hold it in anymore and blew up. "Johnathan! How dare you hit my subordinates?! Even if you are a little stronger than me, do you think that I'm afraid of you?! Remember that I'm older than you! So, I'm your senior!"
Johnathan on the other hand didn't like the way that Arthur was shouting at him.
Arthur who was shouting suddenly felt his cheek burning up. In the next second, he was forced to the ground due to the slap that he had received from Johnathan. Even his ears were ringing due to the temporary deafness.
"Why the hell are you barking at me?! You already know that I hate the dogs that bark loudly and they can't bite. You are telling me that you are my senior? What part of you indicates that you are my senior?"
"You are older than me, I don't refute that. But, that is just the age of your body, but you are nothing in my eyes. Look at you, you are here, abusing the power of the family to bully others."
"Do you think that grandpa doesn't know about this? He's currently held up and that's why you are yet to be punished. But, that doesn't mean that I'm simply going to let you do whatever you like here."
"Since your father doesn't know that he's supposed to discipline you, I might as well do this in his place."
Johnathan berated Arthur as if he was speaking to a small child. To say the least, had it not been for the family rules that stated that fighting in the family wasn't allowed, he would have crippled this cousin of his.
Although they never said that the person couldn't use other means to deal with the others, Johnathan didn't like doing what others did, sending assassins and so on.
But now that he had gotten a chance to beat up Arthur, he would make sure to beat him up well. At the end of the day, it was hard to get such a good chance that he could use to beat up Arthur like this.
Arthur got up from the ground. Although he was still fuming, he tried hard to calm himself down. He knew that Johnathan was someone that would resort to beating others as long as there was a misunderstanding and there was a chance for him to do that.
And this just so happened to be the chance. So, he didn't want to piss Johnathan off further because he knew that the results would be that he would be beaten even further.
"What is it that you are defending them this much? I was simply here to get a girl that I'm intending to have as my wife. Is there a problem?" Arthur asked through gritted teeth.
"Are you an idiot or something? You came here to take a girl that you are intending to make your wife? Humph, do you think that you can fool me? Try again. With your character, I know that you will simply play with her and then that's it." Johnathan snorted.
He then continued, "And, are you sure about the girl that you are here to take wasn't already taken? You must be a fool to come without confirming some things. And what's more, you are even trying to force my sister-in-law to be your plaything. Do you think I'm going to let you go scot-free?"
Johnathan's words stunned both the three bodyguards, Arthur and finally Katelyn. None of them had expected that there was such a relationship between Johnathan and Celine.
Katelyn was still thinking that the person in front of her was Jack. But in the end, Celine had informed her that this was Johnathan and not Jack. As for the explanation of the situation, that was supposed to wait till they were done with the situation that they were in at the moment.
Arthur on the other hand had never predicted that Celine was taken by someone, in that Johnathan could refer to her as sister-in-law. And, he still couldn't help but curse at the way that things were.
He had made sure to investigate Celine's background and was sure that she didn't have a boyfriend due to her cold attitude. So, he didn't continue keeping watch on her.
But now that he was here to take her, she was already taken? He couldn't believe it. When Celine mentioned that she had a boyfriend, she still wanted to know who it was that she was going to call to play a game. And if it was true that she had a boyfriend, he would simply deal with him.
But now, he couldn't believe that even this person was related to him. So, he asked Johnathan, "Who is it?"
He knew that Johnathan wasn't someone that could have a friend easily. Even the cousins back at home, he wasn't close to most of them, just a few. Now Arthur was wondering who it was.
Johnathan scoffed. He opened his mouth to reply but had no choice but to stop speaking.
