The Wrong Woman

Chapter 8

The displeasure on Nathan’s expression was evident as he demanded, “Are you teaching her or toying with her?”

Lucas gulped nervously. “Sir, I was teaching Madam self–defense.”

Everyone was worried about Lucas. There was no way Nathan didn’t know what trick Lucas had been trying to do.

Nathan pushed Suzanne aside and said, “Stay away.”

Suzanne felt her heart fluttering involuntarily.

Nathan had never once glanced at her, but his actions showed that he clearly wanted to protect her.

She was puzzled, and she had no idea what he wanted to do.

Casually, Nathan removed his watch and said, “Let’s spar. If you win, you get to stay. Lose, and you leave immediately.”

Lucas‘ face drained of all its color. He tried to explain himself, saying, “General, t–there’s no way I can beat you. I–I was just teaching Madam some self–defense. Please don’t fire me, sir.

Nathan handed his watch to Suzanne, unaffected by Lucas‘ pleas.

Lucas was flustered by Nathan’s indifference and began begging Suzanne instead. “I’m sorry, Madam. I didn’t mean to make you fall.”

Nathan didn’t give Lucas a chance to explain further and began raining kicks on the latter.

There was a muffled bang before Lucas was sent flying backward. He landed on the ground and groaned in pain, clutching his midsection.

Suzanne was stunned by Nathan’s fierce attack. If it had been her, she would probably have died from a single kick.

Lucas took a moment to recover from the pain and realized that Nathan wasn’t playing around. If he didn’t go all out, he would definitely be dismissed today. Contents belong to NovelDrama.Org

Mustering his courage, Lucas launched himself at Nathan.

However, Nathan dodged Lucas‘ attacks easily. He bent down and delivered another solid

punch to Lucas‘ stomach.

Lucas stumbled a few steps back before falling to the ground, blood seeping out of the corner of his mouth.

Everyone could tell that Lucas had suffered internal bleeding after the two attacks.

Right then, Sally rushed forward and grabbed Nathan’s arm. She begged, “Stop, Nate. Lucas didn’t bully anyone. He was genuinely trying to teach her some self–defense.”

The soldiers around them also began pleading anxiously. “General, please spare him.”

Nathan’s gaze softened when he looked at Sally. In a gentle tone, he asked, “Aren’t you worried you might get hurt if you charge over like that?”

Sally pouted her bright red lips and nuzzled against his arm before giggling, “Nope. I know you would never hurt me.”

Nathan patted her head gently in response.

Their actions stung Suzanne’s eyes, and she felt her heart throbbing in pain.

She gripped Nathan’s watch tightly as she watched him flirt with another woman right in front of her.

She was in so much pain that she could barely breathe. It was almost as if she was the one Nathan had beaten.

It was just a sparring match, yet Nathan was afraid of accidentally hurting Sally.

Meanwhile, he had bravely shot a criminal while she had been right next to him without caring that he might accidentally hurt her.

How absurd! His preferential treatment couldn’t be more obvious.

“Nate, I have something to tell you. Let’s go to your office.” Sally tugged Nathan away.

Lucas struggled to push himself up and begged, “I’m sorry, General. Can you please forgive me?”

Nathan allowed Sally to lead him away. Without turning around, he said, “I’ll leave this decision to Suzanne.”

Lucas immediately staggered over to Suzanne and apologized. “I’m sorry, Madam. I’m very loyal to General. Please don’t dismiss me. I-”
