Cordelia barely had any sleep that night.
She was both worried for Carter and troubled by her imaginary love rival. Moreover, it was her first time
sleeping on the couch, so she kept tossing and turning. It was near dawn when she gradually fell
asleep.
Not too long into her slumber, though, she was woken up by some noises. When she opened her eyes,
Marcus had already changed and was ready to head out. Carter had packed his bag as well and
followed Marcus.
“Where are you both going?” Cordelia asked in alarm.
Marcus was dressed weirdly. He was dressed in black with a baseball cap. The stick he held was the
one he usually used when he worked out at home.
Cordelia did not have a good feeling about it.

Marcus looked at her without saying anything.
Cordelia was in distress. It seemed that he was really going to fight. Since they got married, it got to do
with her each time Marcus fought, and it worried her every time. She was afraid of something bad
happening and that he would have to go in…
Whatever it was this time, she would not let him act violently again!
“Stay out of this,” Marcus said darkly. “Those bullies won’t learn their lessons if they aren’t taught one!”
“Must violence be stopped with violence?”
“What better ways are there?” Marcus looked at her with a determined and impassive gaze. “If decent
conversations worked, this world would be much more peaceful.
“Don’t worry. I know how hard to hit. Besides, the bullies won’t dare pick on Carter again after beating
them up for him. Carter’s my cousin too. I can’t just watch him get bullied!”
Warmth filled Cordelia, and she held his hand softly. There was a moment of silence before she looked
up at him. “Don’t act rashly. I have a solution.”
“What?” Marcus squinted. “What solution do you have?”
Cordelia grinned as she brandished her phone in front of him.
“We can’t counter violence with violence in this case, or the troubles will be endless. My solution will
put an end to all troubles! But Carter will have to suck it up one more time, okay?”
Marcus paused and finally put down his stick. He listened to Cordelia and changed into his normal
clothes. After breakfast, the two of them sent Carter to school together.
Cordelia had asked Carter to go in front while she and Marcus followed him from a distance.
Before they got to the school gate, they saw a few senior high school kids approach Carter. They
surrounded him, patting his shoulders and tugging his backpack with ulterior smirks.
Carter trembled in fear the moment he saw them and did not dare make a sound when he was dragged

Cordelia and Marcus kept up swiftly and hid at the side.
The school bullies surrounded Carter and began hitting him. As Carter crouched in the center, his cries
echoed a while later.
Cordelia suppressed her heartache and the urge to stop them. Instead, she chose the best angle and
recorded the scene clearly with her phone. When she had enough footage, she met eyes with Marcus,
and the latter rushed over to kick the high school kids off.
Carter had new wounds on his face, but they were nothing serious. Marcus kept him behind and
scanned the high school seniors with a strict gaze.
“Wow, Carter. H-how dare you get help!?” The fat guy who was the leader was brazen. “Just wait! Stay
here if you dare. I’ll get my guys and see if that’ll kill you!”
“It’s not quite possible for you to kill them,” a soft voice said clearly. “The few of you should, instead,
think if your parents will kill you when word about you being bullies gets out.”
