Chapter 2762
Yannie did not know who this man was, but when she saw him storming toward Thomas in anger, she instinctively
leaped in front of Thomas to shield him.
Smack! The man’s slap landed on Yannie’s face harshly.
The entire hallway fell silent at this.
Everyone, including the tall man and Thomas, who had just emerged from the elevator, were too stunned to
speak.
A split second later, Thomas pulled Yannie into his arms and shot the man a murderous glare. “Dan, if you have
anything against me, you should come at me like a man instead of hurting innocent women!”
Yannie realized that this tall man was none other than Dan Howard, Thomas‘ half–brother.
Dan immediately regained his composure upon hearing this. He shot his brother a cold look and snapped, “If this
woman hadn’t come out of nowhere, you would’ve gotten it!”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtWith that, he stormed toward Thomas once more, shouting, “How dare you even show your face here after hurting
our dad like this? Not only that, but you even let your woman protect you?”
Dan was a lanky man, so when he stormed toward Thomas, he kicked up a gust of wind that seemed to take over
the entire room.
Yannie was worried that Thomas, in his weakened state, would not stand a chance against him, so she tried to pry
herself out of Thomas‘ grip, but instead, she was trapped.
Thomas reached out to stop Dan’s fist and, in doing so, lowered his head to smile at her. “I’m always here to
protect you. No matter what happens, you don’t need to protect me.”
At this moment, Dan raised his other arm in preparation. for combat.
Thomas curled his lips into a smirk, shoved Yannie aside, and grabbed Dan’s other hand before he could bring it
down on him.
Then, he gave a sharp twist
“Agh-!” Dan’s wails of agony echoed through the hallway.

“Thomas Howard! Is hurting your father not enough that you now want to hurt your brother too?” Tina quickly
sprinted over, shoving Yannie out of the way in annoyance, and grabbed hold of Thomas‘ arm. “Let go of him!”
Thomas curled his lips into a sneer. “I hadn’t intended to harm him at all, but…”
He narrowed his eyes and glanced at Yannie, whose cheek was red and swollen from Dan’s slap. “He laid his finger
on Yannie.”
He gave another sharp twist, and with another howl of pain, Dan finally slumped to the ground limply.
Tina quickly stormed forward to check on him.
Even though Dan had always been tall, he was surprisingly malnourished and weak for his size, so he could not
stand a chance against Thomas at all.
At this moment, both his arms lay limply by his sides as though Thomas had dislocated them.
Tina was both upset and concerned by this. However, she had no choice but to lift Dan off the ground and go off in
search of a doctor, all the while muttering profanities about Thomas under her breath.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmAfter the two of them left, Thomas furrowed his brow and strode over to Yannie’s side. He placed one arm around
her shoulder as he gently touched her cheek with his other hand. “Does it hurt?”
It was his fault for accidentally hurting Senior Howard; if Dan had attacked him because of this, he would not have
resisted. Not only that, but he would have welcomed Dan’s wrath and announced that he had already received the
punishment he deserved.
After all, Senior Howard had done plenty of bad things
toward him throughout the years, so this would put the two of them even.
However, Dan slapped Yannie instead.
This was what had sent Thomas over the edge and broken his arms out of rage.
“I’m fine.” Yannie felt a little uneasy at the intimate position they were adopting. She pursed her lips, removed
herself from Thomas‘ grasp, and then pointed at Senior Howard’s room. “You’d better go quick.”
Thomas furrowed his brow. “What’s going on, Yannie?”
Why was she desperately trying to avoid him?
“You should go visit your father first,” Joshua’s voice rang out from behind him. “You’ll find out what happened with
Yannie soon enough.”
