Chapter 262 You’re Crazy, and You’re Dragging Me to Be Crazy with You Too

Martin raised his hand to block.

The cane instantly struck Martin's palm.

A sharp pain pierced Martin's palm, only to be replaced moments later by complete numbness. He felt nothing anymore Not a single bit of pain.

However, Hayden's anger was far from gone. He thought about how this bastard had promised him he'd treat Victoria well, yet ended up pushing Victoria to the point of writing a suicide note!

And that choice, either him or Victoria could live, only one.

This bastard was a wolf in sheep's clothing. If it weren't for his support, paying for his education, promoting him, and permitting him to marry Victoria.

If it hadn't been for Victoria demanding to marry him.

This jerk wouldn't be where he is today!

Hayden thought about what Mia had said, he and Mia had already taken wedding photos!

Not even divorced yet, he hadn't even died yet, and this guy dared to show off his love with Mia so openly.

Did he think he was dead?

Did he think the Gonzalez family had no one left?

Daring to treat his precious daughter like this!

Hayden was so angry his teeth itched, grinding together with a crunching sound. He raised his cane and struck Martin's body hard.

This time, Martin was prepared. He grabbed Hayden's cane mid-swing . His expression darkened, bloodshot eyes filled with anger as he growled, "You old bastard, you're in this condition and you still have the guts to hit me?"

Hearing him call himself an old bastard, Hayden became so angry he shouted furiously, trying to pull the cane back to keep hitting him.

How could Martin let him keep hitting? Anger made Martin grip the cane tightly, and he kept forcing Hayden backward: "Let me tell you, Hayden. The only reason you're still alive is because your daughter is suffering for you. Without her, would you still be alive? If you know what's good for you, stop creating chaos."

"Today is New Year's Eve, it's the holiday. I won't let you act crazy." Thinking of Victoria, thinking of what a good day it was, the intense hatred in Martin's eyes was forcibly pushed back down.

Martin seized Hayden's cane and pushed it back into his hands: "You still owe my parents two lives, old man. You think marrying your daughter to me, you think doing all those good deeds can make up for two lives?"

Hayden's entire body shook uncontrollably, his dull eyes opening wide.

Yes, he had once hoped that by doing good deeds, becoming the great philanthropist the media reported on, there would be no stain on him.

But that wasn't how it worked.

It wasn't.

What was coming would come.

This was fate.

The cause and effect he believed he could avoid had finally caught up with him in the end.

How could a person fight against fate?

You can't.

The wrongs he'd done all had to be repaid.

He just never expected the consequences would fall on his most beloved, precious Victoria.

"Dream on! You'll never be able to live with a clear conscience, pretending nothing happened. Even if I don't come after you for the debt, you'll owe the Collins family for the rest of your life." Martin fixed his gaze on Hayden.

He despised him.

Even though Hayden couldn't speak or walk now, he had become disabled, he still hated Hayden.

Because Hayden had killed his parents.

His once peaceful life was crushed because no one wants to live their whole life in hatred, consumed by pain.

And Martin's journey to this point, becoming a madman, a psycho, it was all thanks to Hayden.

If he could, he really wanted Hayden to pay with his life.

But he had fallen in love with Victoria.

Victoria was pregnant with his child.

He didn't plan to hate anymore.

He gave up on the idea of retaliation.

If possible, Martin wanted to live a normal person's life.

So his underlying message was this: even if he stopped caring about it later, Hayden still owed him.

Martin's glare at Hayden was as sharp as a blade. He had butchered Hayden in thought more times than he could count.

He planned that after the New Year, he'd take Victoria back to the house, and once the child was born, they'd be living on their own away from Hayden.

Martin would hire the best nanny, the best property manager to take care of Hayden.

He would try to see Hayden as little as possible from then on.

The hatred would dissolve after the child birth.

He should be able to let it all go completely.

Victoria's heart would naturally return from Aaron to their little family.

This was Martin's compromise after careful consideration.

His willingness to come for this reunion dinner meant he could let all this go.

Martin gently tapped the back of Hayden's hand gripping the cane, saying meaningfully, "Take care of yourself. Father-in-law."

This was the first time he'd called Hayden father-in-law since taking over the Gonzalez Group.

Martin's voice was cold as he said, "rest here if you want. Call me if you need anything," and turned to leave.

However, Hayden didn't understand what he meant.

From Hayden's perspective, Martin had laid it all out, he would owe their family for the rest of his life.

So wouldn't only a life for a life make Martin calm down?

Only then would Victoria have a chance.

Only then would she have good days ahead.

Hayden gripped his cane tightly.

Limping, he walked behind Martin and used the cane to block Martin's path.

Martin was trapped within the cane.

His whole body was being dragged backward toward the balcony.

"Old bastard, what are you doing?" Martin had reached his limit. He was completely pressed against the balcony.

Half of Hayden's body was hanging over the balcony edge.

The cane kept moving upward.

Finally, the cane was pressed weighed upon Martin's neck.

Only then did Martin understand, he didn't want this old bastard's life, but this old bastard was trying to take his life during the New Year.

"Are you crazy? Let go, I said let go!" Martin kept kicking Hayden's body with his elbow.

Maybe it was the strength of someone about to die, it was shockingly strong.

Hayden seemed to have lost his mind, completely unhinged, when he abruptly burst into loud laughter

Tears fell from his sagged face as he laughed uncontrollably.

Who would have thought that after dominating the business world for half his life, fighting all his battles, he would end up as Victoria's burden, would end up like this.

Issues he couldn't speak, couldn't swallow, couldn't spit out.

Hayden's insane laughter sounded like demonic noise in Martin's ears.

Martin wanted to call for help, but the entire villa didn't have a single servant, it was cold and empty. Only then did he realize why he'd felt uneasy entering the villa, why he'd felt something big was going to happen.

"I said let go!" Martin finally broke free.

But Hayden's threw his weight backward, instantly falling from the balcony.

Martin panicked and quickly grabbed Hayden's wrist, gritting his teeth and roaring, "Are you crazy? You lunatic, you're crazy and you're dragging me down with you! Hold on, I'll pull you up!"
