All Too Late

Chapter 268 That Much

Charles pinned Finn to the ground.

The latter resisted with all his might but eventually went down on one knee.

“Get down on both knees!” Charles exerted more strength as his handsome face contorted with rage.

“Have you lost your mind, Charles!” Finn’s voice boomed throughout the space.

However, Charles opened his eyes wide. Fury overtook his senses as he grabbed Finn’s collar. “Open your eyes wide and see whose portrait that is!”

All color drained from Finn’s face as he glanced over. “I heard the news. You don’t have to remind me.”

“So why didn’t you show up to her memorial service? Have you forgotten that you’re the one who caused her death?” Charles interrogated.

“I didn’t cause anything. She’s the one who hung herself. It has nothing to do with me.”

“She did that because of you! If you hadn’t put her through all that sh*t, she wouldn’t have resorted to doing this!”

“You have no evidence to prove your claims,” Finn stated, persistently denying the truth.

That only made the wrathful fumes in Charles’ heart broil even more.

He bellowed, “Do you really I won’t dare to beat you up just because I don’t have any evidence?”

Finn responded with sarcastic chuckles, which only made things worse.

Bam!

Charles’ fist struck Finn’s face at full force.

Upon witnessing such a scene, everyone rushed up to prevent the situation from escalating.

“No one is to intervene!” Kathleen snarled, her tone frosty.

When it came to fighting, Finn was nothing more than trash before Charles’ brute strength.

Not to mention that Charles’ deep affection for Vivian greatly surpassed Finn’s past feelings for Vivian.

Utter chaos broke out in the mourning hall.

Finn got beaten up so badly that his nose started to bleed, and he could barely stand upright.

While Charles did not suffer any severe injuries, he did end up taking a punch or two from the former.
