Chapter 379
Austin walked toward Sean with a warm, friendly smile, taking one step at a time. He moved slowly, but every step felt like it was pressing down on Sean’s heart, making him break out in a cold sweat.
Sean shouted, “Don’t come any closer. I’m warning you, my dad is the vice president of Bennett Group. Messing with me means messing with the Bennett Family.
“If you still want to have a place in Cloudridge, you’d better let me go, or you won’t get away with it.”
Austin finally stopped, a mocking smile playing on his lips. He sneered, “The Bennett Family? I’m just terrified.”
Suddenly, he bent down, picked up the shattered bottle from earlier, and tested its weight in his hand. He looked at Sean and pressed, “Which hand did you use to touch Emily carlier?”
He tilted his head, his face all innocent curiosity, but the chilling tone in his voice made Sean recoil in terror, flattening himself against the door.
Sean yelled, “What are you trying to do? Stay away from me.” Seeing Austin thrust the broken bottle toward him, he screamed in terror and instinctively threw up his right hand to shield himself.
The jagged glass stabbed straight into Sean’s palm, and his frightened cry turned into a scream of agony. He clutched his right hand in pain, wailing miserably.
Sean tried to pull his right hand back, but Austin kept a firm grip on the bottle, and he didn’t dare to forcefully tear his hand
away.
The pain was so intense he wanted to writhe on the floor, but all he could do was hold up his right hand and scream to cope with the agony.
Austin, as if he couldn’t even hear Sean’s screams, asked, “Did you use your right hand to touch Emily earlier?” As he spoke, his face was full of innocent curiosity, like he was just asking about the weather.
Sean’s face was frozen in terror-he couldn’t get a single word out, only screams.
Austin said, “Since you don’t want to answer, I guess we’ll just have to ruin both your hands.”
Before Sean could even grasp what he meant, the bottle stuck in his right hand was suddenly ripped out.
The searing pain made him jerk instinctively, and before a scream could even escape his throat, the jagged bottle was driven straight into his left hand.
Blood spurted out so fast it splattered across Austin’s face, the crimson starkly clashing with his bright, sunny features.
Austin kept smiling the whole time, but the vivid red blood made his smile look twisted and chilling, like a demon crawling up from the depths of hell.
In that moment, Sean finally understood what true regret felt like. He thought, ‘I never should have messed with Emily. This guy is a devil.
He begged, “I was wrong. I know I was wrong. I won’t ever do it again. Please, let me go. Please.”
Tears and snot streamed down his face as he pleaded, his whole body trembling uncontrollably-whether from pain or sheer terror, even he couldn’t tell. Suddenly, a faint smell of urine started to fill the air around him-he’d pissed himself.
Austin curled his lip in disgust. He sneered, “With guts like that, you still dared to lay a hand on Emily?”

“I won’t. I swear I won’t ever do it again. If I ever see Emily, I’ll run the other way-I’ll never show up in front of her again. Please, just let me go,” Sean begged, voice shaking with fear.
Austin let out a cold snort, acting like he hadn’t heard a word Sean said. He said, “You tore Emily’s clothes, so I guess these eyes of yours saw something they shouldn’t have, huh?”
Sean’s whole body trembled, the fear in his eyes growing even stronger. He stammered, “No. I didn’t see anything, I swear, I didn’t see a thing.”
Before he could finish, Austin ripped the broken bottle from Sean’s left hand and, without hesitation, stabbed directly at his
eye.
