Chapter 268

number.”She read out Mason’s number.Yet, the automated voice from the other end of the line indicated that Mason’s number was not in service.“What’s going on?” Josiah exclaimed. “Something must be wrong on their end. Else, we would have been able to reach them.”“Keep calling Xavier!” They had all been in a rush to escape, so Winnie did not think it abnormal if they accidentally reached an area with poor reception or switched off their phones.In spite of this, it was strange that Xavier did not answer his phone.“You call him!” Josiah passed his phone to Winnie.Frowning, Winnie took the phone and asked, “What are you doing?”“I’m going to kill someone!” Josiah opened the door and got out of the car.Winnie could tell he was going to fight Nate, but it was too late for her to stop him.Josiah had already grabbed hold of Nate’s collar.“Why the f*ck did you come here instead of resting at home?” Josiah glared at Nate and punched him in anger.As a result, Nate stumbled a few steps back.He tried to retaliate after steadying himself, but Josiah had already predicted his next move. In one swift motion, Josiah pinned Nate against the car.Nate was an actor, and the entertainment industry favored individuals who were tall, thin, and fair-skinned. Although Nate was almost as tall as Josiah, he was skinnier than the latter.Hence, he could hardly struggle after getting pinned against the car by a furious Josiah.Josiah pointed at his face and gritted his teeth. “Are you in cahoots with Yulissa? Where is she now? What the h*ll do you want?”Nate’s mouth was already bleeding as a result of Josiah’s punch. After spitting a mouthful of blood on the ground, he turned to regard Josiah again.“You want to know all that, do you? Too bad for you, I’m not going to tell you,” he answered coolly.“Nate Fraser!” Josiah was enraged. “You’re asking for it!”Nate chuckled. “Know your place, Josiah. There are only two of you, while there are so many of us. I have three cars and six men. The only reason you hit me just now was that I allowed you to. I was simply going easy on you.”“Hah!” Josiah was about to laugh. “Going easy on me? Look at how weak and puny you are! Do you dare to fight me one-on-one? Eh? Answer my question!” “Forget it, Josiah.” Winnie sensed that Josiah was about to blow a fuse. Thus, she rolled down the window slowly and spoke to Josiah calmly. “Let him go today. Why waste your energy on people like him?”Winnie was exceptionally calm and collected, as if she was talking about the day’s weather. This annoyed Nate immensely.He cocked his head and stared at Winnie intently. However, when he spoke, it was to address Josiah, “Didn’t you want me to answer your questions? Well, tell her to come out, then ask me again nicely.”Josiah took a deep breath and adjusted his glasses. “What? I’ve never made such demands of this woman, even when she confronts me. Even your cousin, Xavier, can’t do anything about her. Who the h*ll do you think you are?”“Hmph.” Nate let out a sarcastic laugh. “She’s an arrogant woman because you always let her have her way. I won’t do the same, though.”Winnie could not help but chuckle when she heard Nate’s reply.Earlier, when Josiah had driven the tank to force Harold and his men to surrender their weapons, Winnie and
