“Grandma, I heard that you wanted to see me.” Nora smiled. However, she was so weak that she fell asleep after exchanging a few words with Sebastian. Upon seeing this, a lump formed in Natalie’s throat. Although none of them said it out loud, they all knew that it would be unlikely for Nora to make a full recovery this time.

After Nora had fallen asleep, Sebastian and Natalie turned to leave. When they reached the stairway, Ritchie happened to come home drunk. He had just gone upstairs and leaned on the railing to support himself. When the three of them passed by each other, Ritchie suddenly sneered and cursed, “You damned bastard!”

Sebastian looked at him coldly. The alcohol gave Ritchie unprecedented courage. He flew into a rage and grabbed Sebastian by the collar. “Don’t you dare look at me! You shameless bastard! How dare you come back!”.

Sebastian glowered at Ritchie, his eyes looking frigid, and said, one deliberate word at a time, “Why not? I’ll destroy this place sooner or later.”

“What the hell did you just say? How dare you stand up to me?” Ritchie’s eyes widened with indignant fury. The alcohol made his cheeks bright crimson. He loosened his grip on Sebastian’s collar and looked around, seemingly looking for something. . Sebastian straightened his collar. He did not want to lower himself to Ritchie’s scummy level. When he was about to go downstairs, he suddenly heard a roar from behind him.

“You go burn in hell!” Ritchie picked up a vase from the shelf in the corridor and smashed it against the wall. The glass scattered all over the ground like confetti. The other half of the vase was left intact in Ritchie’s hand but the edge was dangerously jagged.

All color drained from Natalie’s face. She looked at Sebastian and shouted in warning, “Honey, watch out!” With a sharp fragment of the vase held in his hand as a weapon, Ritchie rushed at Sebastian and was about to plunge the makeshift dagger into him. Natalie tried to stop him but failed dismally.

People in the living room downstairs didn’t really know what was happening initially, but when Natalie had screamed, they were all startled. Everyone ran over in horror, but there was no time to stop Ritchie.

Sebastian was quick on his feet and hastily retreated when he saw this. He shoved Ritchie away to avoid the sharp vase fragment that he was wielding. Ritchie had rushed forward too fast and because he was drunk, he wasn’t steady on his feet. When Sebastian defensively shoved him away, he lost his balance. He stumbled and fell down the stairs before he could cry out for help. He rolled to the bottom of the stairs and lay there motionlessly.

“Ah! Mr. Ritchie!”

As the servants in the living room shouted, the servants upstairs also hastily ran downstairs.

“Help! Mr. Ritchie fell down the stairs!”

“He is bleeding profusely. He doesn’t look like he’s breathing!” Hearing the commotion, Patrick came out of Nora’s room with a long face.

“What’s wrong? Why is there such a ruckus out here? Mrs. Klein needs rest. Can’t you keep the noise levels to a decent volume?” A servant pursed her lips momentarily then cried out, “Sir, Mr. Ritchie was pushed down the stairs by Mr. Sebastian!”

Patrick’s face turned pale with fright. He rushed downstairs to check on Ritchie, who was lying seemingly lifelessly on the ground. He held Ritchie up and asked desperately, “Ritchie, can you hear me?”

Ritchie’s eyes were closed and it was clear he had lost consciousness. Patrick shouted at the servants, “What are you waiting for? Call an ambulance!” The servants hurriedly made phone calls. Furiously, Patrick turned to Sebastian who had just come downstairs. He raised his hand and wanted to slap Sebastian.

“How could you do this to your own brother?!” Sebastian grasped Patrick’s wrist and shook it off. He then said impatiently, “You’d better discipline your own son first.” Patrick trembled with anger, but he didn’t continue to fight with Sebastian. He turned around and went to check on Ritchie’s condition again.
