"Dax Sanders?" Lily was shocked to see Dax walking like normal.
'Wasn't he stabbed and cut with thirty or so knives? Why does he seem just fine?' Lily thought as she bit her lips.
"Dax, I'm so sorry for the other night-" she muttered.
Before letting her finish, Dax laughed and waved it off. "That was nothing. Darryl's like my brother, so ofcourse, I'd jump in right away when I see you in danger. Haha!"
Dax's laugh instantly made the whole scene seem less awkward.
Lily smiled and glanced at Darryl. She saw that Darryl did not respond to her and started panicking.
"Darryl, please, please don't stay mad at me. I'm really sorry, I really am." Lily pleaded as she bit her lips.
Darryl took in a long breath, his face was still emotionless. No, he was not pretending to be mad at her; he was actually mad. All his life, he had always wanted a trustworthy best-friend. He used to have many friends when he was still in the Darby family, but all these 'friends' ran and hid from him when he was kicked out.
Since then, he had no faith in friendship until he met Dax, who was the best brother he could ever ask for. Yet, Dax was stabbed and wounded severely because of Lily, and he almost lost his life! How could he forgive Lily?
Meanwhile, a snarky voice came from behind.
"Oh look, isn't it this the live-in son-in-law? Why aren't you cleaning at home, and why are you signing up to the school?"
Darryl frowned and looked back. It was Kent with Megan behind him. Megan was dressed in a long, tight dress and heels, showing of her sexy body.
Darryl smiled at Kent "What now? Who says a live-in son-in-law can't sign up?"
By then, the rich kids gathered behind Kent.
"Nobody said so, but the fact that you came will bring down the reputation of the school. C'mon up, everyone, this dude is a live-in son-in-law, hahaha! I'm sure you all have heard about him!" Kent said, becoming louder.
Darryl and Lily's wedding three years ago was the biggest joke in the entire Donghai City.
Megan could not take it anymore; she pulled on Kent. "Can you please behave?"
Megan did not come here to study. As the leader of the Criminal Investigation team, she had no time to study. She only came hereto send Kent off.
"But I'm just telling the truth! Who doesn't know he's a live-in son-in-law here?" Kent refuted.
Darryl scoffed but did not reply. Though Dax, who was by his side, could not take it any longer.
"F*ck off Kent! What's wrong with you?" he yelled.
'Damn it; he's asking to be punched!' Dax thought as he tried to refrain from beating Kent up.
Darryl was able to hold back his anger, but not Dax. He pointed his finger at Kent. "Shut your mouth! Your voice is annoying!"
Kent was shocked at Dax siding with Darryl. He was embarrassed for being told off in public.
"Dax, bro. I'm just mocking Darryl. I don't think that's any of your business." Kent replied.
Honestly speaking, the Sanders were one of the most powerful families in Donghai City, and Kent did not want to offend him.
"F*ck off!" Dax was agitated further by Kent's backtalk.
Without warning, he punched Kent right in the face.
"Ah!" Kent screamed as his left eye became swollen instantly.
Without having any time to react, Dax kicked Kent on his shin, and he fell, kneeling on the floor.
Everyone was shocked. Nobody dared to step up and stop Dax from beating up Kent. Anyone in Donghai City knew Dax had a hot temper, and getting punched by him was considered lucky compared to being stabbed by him.
Darryl felt so good watching this, though he still went up to pull Dax away. "Dax, Dax, it's fine. Don't waste your time with this clown."
Although Darryl said the words himself, he still kicked Kent real hard when he pulled Dax away. The kick landed right on Kent's head, knocking his head to the floor like a dog eating mud.
"Ah, I'm so sorry." Darryl said, pretending it was all an accident as he secretly smiled.
"F*ck you, Darryl!" Kent yelled.
He was so triggered and embarrassed, yet he could not come up without anything else to say.
"Darryl, Dax, that's enough!" Megan stomped in between them in her heels. "We're at the entrance of the school. Why are you all fighting!?"
