Listen to this chapter:

Chapter 172ย  Why did he have to come here instead of staying in Orvin? And he had the nerve to pick a fight with Onion. He must be pred of bongย  Dorian froze completely when he recognized the familiar voice. He instinctively looked at the masked man standing in front of himย  That voice sounded exactly like his cousin, could it be Thaddeus?ย  โ€œWhatโ€™s going on here?โ€ย  Just then, Alaric came down from the private room upstairs and saw Dorian on the ground with shattered glass bottles nestoryย  Alaric immediately went over to help Dorian sit up, โ€œYou alright?โ€ย  โ€œNot really, it hurts like hell.โ€ย  Dorian had wanted to play the tough guy, but that kick to his chest had left him breathless. Now, each breath he took was a painful eminder, making him wonder if he had broken a rib.ย  Evelina saw Dorian turning pale and started to panic, โ€œAlaric, what do we do now?โ€ย  โ€œWe need to get him to a hospital, what else? Who did this?โ€ย  Evelina turned her gaze to Lemรญra, โ€œThe school doctor over there, he went too farโ€ย  Alaric looked up at the masked Lernira and recognized her immediately. He walked over and lowered his voice, โ€œLemira, do you have any idea who Dorian is? Him getting hurt because of you is going to bring trouble to us!ย  โ€œBut Dorian was the one who started it. Even if we go to the police, weโ€™re not in the wrong.โ€ย  Lemira was visibly annoyed. She was originally looking for fun, but encountered that fake angel, which was never a good sign.ย  Alaric then faced Orion directly, โ€œIt was you who laid hands on him, right? You better be ready to face the wrath of the Draven family yourself. Be a man and donโ€™t drag my sister into this!โ€ย  Before the Dravens could retaliate, it was crucial to clear Lemiraโ€™s involvement.ย  Lemira stepped in front of Orion, โ€œThis has nothing to do with him. He was only trying to protect me.โ€ย  โ€œLemira, are you out of your mind? Iโ€™m trying to help you!โ€ Alaric was bewildered, โ€œDo you realize the weight of your actions? This is the Draven family from Orvin weโ€™re talking about!โ€ย  They were no ordinary highโ€“flyers!ย  Lemira was displeased, aware of the Dravensโ€˜ notorious reputation but unwilling to let Orion bear the burden alone.ย  Lemira straightened her back, โ€œWeโ€™ll hire a lawyer. I refuse to believe that even the Draven family can be completely unreasonableย  โ€œThinking the Dravens will play fair with you?โ€ย  Thaddeus chimed in, โ€œThatโ€™s where youโ€™re wrong. Why wouldnโ€™t the Dravens play fair?โ€ย  He was all about fairness. If not for keeping his identity a secret, he would have already slapped Dorian himself.ย  Alaric ignored Thaddeus, focusing on Lemira instead, โ€œYou better keep quiet. Iโ€™ll handle this. And your protector here better show up at the hospital personally to apologize to Dorian!โ€ย  After his piece, Alaric helped Dorian up, โ€œMr. Draven, letโ€™s get you to a hospital. Your health is more important right now.โ€ย  Grimacing in pain, Dorian could hardly focus on assigning blame. The pain was overwhelming.ย  As Dorian passed by Lemira, he snarled, โ€œJust you wait. Ah, it hurts so much. I wonโ€™t let this go. Ahhh!โ€ย  Evelina deliberately lagged behind, giving Lemira a glance, โ€œYou guys are in deep trouble now! Heโ€™s Mrs. Monica Dravenโ€™s precious grandson. Youโ€™re gonna regret it if you donโ€™t figure out how to apologize to Dorian and earn his forgiveness.โ€ย  This time, she determined to make Lemira suffer.ย
