Chapter 96 Harlan And Julius Sparring
As his words fell, he made his move, launching an attack on Harlan.
Suddenly, the two men found themselves in a brawl.
Laura was taken aback. She wanted to intervene, but if she were to rush over, she’d probably just end up getting punched.
So, all she could do was shout at Julius‘ bodyguards, “Aren’t you guys going to do something?”
“Mr. Whitethorn didn’t ask us to intervene,” the lead bodyguard replied.
Laura was at a loss for words. When will they stop fighting, then? Are they really going to fight until a winner emerges?
From the look of it, Harlan’s fighting style was clearly that of someone from a military background. His moves were orthodox, and his punches were steady. On the other hand, Julius‘ approach to fighting gave off a more fierce and ruthless vibe.
Laura was well aware of Harlan’s capabilities, but she was taken aback to discover that Julius was just as formidable.
Five minutes had passed, and Laura was anxiously watching, fearful that someone might get hurt.
Ten minutes had passed, and Laura was still anxious, desperately wanting this fight to be over.
Fifteen minutes later, Laura’s anxiety had turned into numbness.
“Are you guys done yet, or what? You could take a break, you know. Why don’t you grab a drink and rest your feet?” Laura rambled on.
Just then, out of the blue, a figure darted toward the two men who were still locked in combat.
Laura was shocked, staring in surprise at the newcomer.
The person was none other than Quinn.

Quinn rushed in between the two men who were fighting. With a swift move of her hands, she blocked both their punches.
Upon seeing Quinn’s sudden intervention, the two of them instinctively pulled back their fists and abruptly halted their movements.
“What are you guys up to?” Quinn asked.
As soon as she stepped out, she saw Julius and Harlan in a heated brawl, and neither of them was pulling their punches.
“I should be asking you a question! What were you thinking, rushing in like that?” Laura ran over, grabbing her friend as she asked. “Have you lost your mind? They were fighting so fiercely, and yet you stepped in between them. What if you were hurt by their punches?”
Laura’s tone was harsh, yet her concern for Quinn was blatant.
Quinn said, “Since I made the move, naturally, I can protect myself. I won’t let myself get hurt.”

Chapter 96 Harlan And Julius Sparring
Even if Julius and Harlan didn’t stop in time, she could handle it.
“Fine. No matter what, your safety should be your top priority!” Lana said earnestly.
She simply wished for her friend to be safe and sound.
“I got it,” replied Quinn. “By the way, how did they end up fighting?”
“They, well-”

Before Laura could reply, Harlan interjected, “I heard Mr. Whitethorn was quite skilled in combat, so I was interested in sparring with him a bit.”
“Spar?” Quinn looked at Harlan with a hint of suspicion.
Harlan’s eyes flickered nervously. Then, he quickly suggested, “Quinnie, where are you heading? Let me accompany you.”
“She’s going back to the mansion with me,” Julius said, beating Quinn to the punch.
Harlan frowned in displeasure.
Quinn said, “Yes. I’m now Mr. Whitethorn’s bodyguard, so I have to go back to the mansion with him.”
Upon hearing that, Harlan pursed his lips. “I’ll be staying in Yarburn for a few more days. Whenever you’re free, give me a call. There’s still so much I want to talk about with you.”
“Okay,” agreed Quinn before she got into the car with Julius.
The car gradually pulled away, with Harlan’s gaze following it icily. If Julius isn’t just toying with Quinn, could he actually be serious? If a member of the Whitethorn family gets serious…
Harlan recalled the words his mother once cautioned him with. His mother had said, “It’s best not to mess with the Whitethorn family. Once they get serious, they might not stop until they’ve had their way.”
Back then, Harlan had responded casually, “Mom, don’t you think you’re being a bit too dramatic?”
“You’ve never really met anyone from the Whitethorn family. They all have a bit of a wild streak in them. Trust me. Getting on their bad side can cause quite a hassle.”
The words of Harlan’s mother echoed in his ears.
Unfortunately, he had no choice but to provoke a member of the Whitethorn family at that moment.
He wasn’t sure what Julius was truly up to, but he was determined not to let Julius hurt Quinn. Moreover, he was determined not to lose Quinn again.
Inside the car, Julius looked at Quinn and asked, “Do you really believe that Harlan and I were just sparring earlier?”
“I don’t believe it,” Quinn responded immediately.
“Aren’t you curious about the reason?” he asked.
“If you wanted to say, you would have. If you didn’t, my asking wouldn’t make a difference. Still…”

Quinn paused before adding, “I’ve told you before. Don’t harm Harlan. Otherwise, I won’t let you off the
hook.”
Julius‘ eyes flickered slightly. “What if he hurts me?”
