Anne Sutton looked at him. "I'm talking about how you're too cowardly to admit what you've done. You're the one whose gambling ruined this family, and now you're trying to make Ethan take the blame…"
Before Anne Sutton could finish, Ryan Linden shoved her hard, sending her crashing into a nearby wall. Anna Linden froze for a moment, stunned. Afraid he would cause real trouble, she quickly snapped, "Ryan Linden!"
Ryan said, "Aunt Anna, it's this woman! She's slandering me! She's just some tramp Ethan brought home, and she dares to meddle in the Linden Family's business!"
This was a man who would even beat his own wife.
Anne Sutton was shocked he'd dare get physical right in front of Anna Linden.
Her head was throbbing from the impact.
Just then, a pair of hands steadied her, pulling her into an embrace.
Anne Sutton looked up and saw Nathan Fawcett standing right in front of her.
A sense of relief washed over her at the sight of him.
