Chapter 266
The next second, Gregory shouted coldly, “Theo!”
Theo turned his head, only for a sharp punch to come flying to his lace.
His eyes widened in surprise as he tried to dodge, but Gregory was ich faster than he’d expected. The punch landed squarely on his jaw.
“Ow!” Theo grabbed his jaw, stumbling to the side.
“Gregory! You”
Theo couldn’t believe Gregory would sneak–attack him.
“That’s punishment for going after what’s mine,” Gregory utteredicily.
“Anathea isn’t yours! She doesn’t even want to be with you!” Theo was furious at Gregory’s smugness. He swung a punch at Gregory, but Gregory caught it and quickly neutralized his strength
Gregory had always presented himself in polished suits. Theo had completely forgotten that Gregory had professional military training. His combat skills were top–notch.
By the time Theo realized this, it was too late. He’d already been overpowered by Gregory, who’d rendered him immobile,
“Let go! You’re not being fair!”
“Why would I fight fair with my cousin who dares go after my wife? You said Anathea’s not mine. Is she yours, then? Just because she doesn’t want to be with me means she wants to be with you, does it? Don’t forget she’s legally my wife, while you’re nothing.” Gregory sneered, restraining Theo.
When Gregory had said he’d settle things with Theo, he’d meant it. He had to make Theo understand that he didn’t care who else Theo had his eye on, but Anathea was absolutely off–limits.
“You’re the third party here, which means you’re a homewrecker, Gregory added coldly, his voice unwavering.
“Bullshit! I’m not!” Theo snapped, his neck flushing red.
“If you’re not, then stay away from my wife. Otherwise, don’t blame me for what happens next.”
As soon as the words left his mouth, Gregory raised two fingers and flicked Theo hard on the forehead.
“What the fuck! Gregory!” Theo finally lost it, his rage exploding. He struggled violently to fight back, only for Gregory to suddenly release him.
Theo thought Gregory had made a mistake and left himself open. He immediately seized the chance as he swung a punch at Gregory’s face. “Take this!”
With Gregory’s skills, he could’ve dodged that punch, and he could ve countered it just as easily. So, Theo didn’t hold back.
Theo hadn’t been trying to knock Gregory out. He just wanted to teach Gregory a lesson and make it clear he wasn’t some pushover.
But Gregory didn’t dodge at all. He didn’t move an inch, He just stood there and took the punch straight to the face, stumbling back a step.
Theo froze, unsure what Gregory was trying to do. He stared at Gregory in confusion.
Just then, the elevator doors opened.
There stood Anathea.
Gregory’s eyes shifted toward her, and he took another step back until he leaned against the elevator frame.

He drew a deep breath, as if in pain. Turning his injured cheek toward Anathea, he looked at her, his lips pressed tightly together.
He looked like someone who’d been severely bullied.
“Annie, look… He’s so violent. Violent men are no good…”
