?<strong>Chapter 719:</strong>


    Behind them, Bethany’s voice rang out in confusion. “Hey, where are you two going…?”


    Vincent acted swiftly. He pulled Johnson aside and said firmly, “Stop, Johnson, that’s enough! Calm down. This could get out of hand, and he might end up seriously hurt!”


    Lndy battered and bruised, curled up on the floor, letting out constant cries of pain.


    Breathing heavily, with veins visibly throbbing on his forehead, Johnson remained silent. He grabbed Lnd by the cor, lifted him effortlessly, and dragged him toward their private room.


    The woman nearby turned pale and began stepping away quietly, hoping to avoid notice.


    Bethany quickly moved to block her path. “Trying to leave?” she asked, halting the woman’s escape.


    With a cold re, Bethany issued a sharp warning, saying, “Go inside the room quietly unless you’re looking for more trouble.”


    Caught off guard and left with no choice, the woman lowered her head and meekly stepped into the private room.

    Meanwhile, Lucas was tending to Belinda’s wound, gently dabbing her neck with a cotton swab soaked in iodine. Though his expression was dark, his hands moved with precision and care.


    While helping Belinda disinfect the wound, he gently blew on it.


    That woman hadn’t been messing around—she had clearly wanted to cause real damage!


    As Lucas reflected on the incident, his brow furrowed.


    Belinda felt the light sensation of Lucas’ breath on her neck, which sent an unexpected tickling feeling through her, leaving her with goosebumps.


    “Who exactly are they?” Lucas asked, his voice low and serious.


    Belinda broke her silence. “The man you’re asking about is Lnd. He’s Catherine’s boyfriend. As for the woman with him, we don’t know who she is. What we saw was her heavily intoxicated, clinging to Lnd, repeatedly pressing her lips against him. That kind of behavior was more than Johnson could tolerate. He snapped immediately.”


    Upon hearing this, Lucas gave a thoughtful nod.


    He had already known that Johnson’s strongest feelings were for his adopted sister, Catherine. It was no surprise that Johnson had lost his temper after seeing that scene. Lucas now realized why Belinda had feltpelled to intervene.


    Still, the sight of her injured neck made him feel worried.


    He said earnestly, “The next time you decide to get involved, make sure you take precautions to protect yourself first.”
