Chapter 792: She is the Support

Anthony had already grasped the general situation from Meggie's account. "Nydia, if you break something, you have to compensate for it. Since the boss has already itemized the damages, pay the money first."

In the Austi family, Nydia was afraid of no one except Anthony. Seeing his displeased expression, Nydia didn't dare say anything more and quickly handed over the money.

After confirming the payment, Meggie looked at Nydia and said, "And about the elderly gentleman inside, if Miss Wagner doesn't handle it, I'll call an ambulance."

When Anthony heard the words "elderly gentleman," his expression grew even darker.

Nydia dared not breathe heavily, nor did she dare to speak casually.

"Why haven't you called the ambulance?" Anthony said sternly, addressing Nydia.

Nydia felt embarrassed for a moment but eventually called for an ambulance.

After receiving the money, Meggie didn't linger. She greeted the staff in the restaurant and went straight upstairs.

After watching Meggie leave, Anthony turned to Jesse and Nydia and said in a low voice, "Both of you, come with me."

Nydia glanced at Jesse's face and followed Anthony out of the door.

Jesse followed behind them..

As they exited the private restaurant, Anthony raised his hand and slapped Nydia across the face.

This slap was much heavier than the one Yanis had given Nydia earlier.

Jesse had initially intended to explain the situation, but Anthony's sudden slap left him bewildered, unsure of how to react.

Having been with Nydia for so long, Jesse knew well about Anthony's position in the Austi family and the fear he instilled in Nydia.

"Nydia, you've really outdone yourself! You've tarnished the reputation of the Austi family single-handedly!" Anthony's decision to forgo another slap was already giving Nydia face. Nydia never expected Anthony would actually lay hands on her.

But when she thought about what she had done, Nydia didn't dare to argue. She simply covered her face, tears streaming down.

After admonishing Nydia, Anthony turned to Jesse, who was standing on the side.

Jesse had been with Nydia for several years, and both sides' parents had met.

Although Nydia was willful, the Austi family members were reasonable and didn't discriminate based on social status. They didn't look down on Jesse just because of his background.

Moreover, when Nydia brought Jesse back to the Austi family, Anthony happened to be away, so he didn't object, thinking Jesse was suitable.

During their time together, Anthony had witnessed Jesse's treatment of Nydia, always accommodating her every need. The Pascalls treated Nydia as if she were Jesse's wife. It could be said that both Jesse and the Pascalls treated Nydia well.

But now Nydia had done something that Anthony never expected.

If Nydia had fallen in love with someone else, that would have been one thing. However, it was Meggie's mention of the "elderly gentleman" that angered Anthony.

The Austi family was not short on money, and they had never denied Nydia anything she wanted. Almost everything she desired was provided for her.

Additionally, Nydia was the youngest and most favored member of the Austi family. So, most of the things she wanted were usually fulfilled.

But now she had done such a thing, truly disappointing everyone.

After locking eyes with Jesse, Anthony took the initiative to take some responsibility. "Mr. Anthony, it's my fault too. I neglected Nydia because of work, and that's why..."

Jesse paused for a moment, deciding not to finish the sentence.

Anthony gestured with his hand, looking at Jesse, and asked, "What are you going to do now?"

After hearing Anthony's words, Jesse glanced at Nydia's face and then spoke softly, "Mr. Anthony, since Nydia no longer wants to continue, it doesn't make much sense for me to hold on. I'll let my family know it's my fault. After all, Nydia is a girl, and these matters..."

"Jesse, stop pretending to be a good person here! I don't need it!" Nydia said coldly.

"You shut up!" Anthony reprimanded her sternly. "You don't have to take the blame for this. It happened the way it did. You should tell your parents the truth, and I'll do the same with the Austi family."

Jesse hesitated for a moment and nodded at Anthony. "Okay, Mr. Anthony. I'll go back now."

Anthony acknowledged him with a grunt.

After Jesse left, Anthony furrowed his brow and looked at Nydia. "Are your eyes okay?"

Nydia remained silent for a few seconds before saying, "I just... I just wanted to be like Second Brother."

"What?" Anthony looked at Nydia.

"I mean, I wanted to be like Second Brother and enter the entertainment industry. He said he could help me and even arranged for someone to guide me..."

"So, you're willing to throw away your dignity?" Anthony interrupted her before she could finish her sentence.

Nydia didn't say anything more.

Anthony was about to speak when an ambulance happened to pass by, causing him to swallow his words. "Come back with me to the Austi family!"

After saying that, Anthony picked up his phone and made a call, delegating the matter to someone else to handle.

He then looked at Nydia, who was still standing there. "What are you waiting for? Let's go!"

Nydia watched as Anthony walked towards the building. "Aren't we going home? Why are we going inside?"

"What do you think you just did? Don't you know?" Anthony's voice turned heavy. "You're not just someone Zane holds dear. After what you said today, don't you think you should apologize to them?" After hearing Anthony's words, Nydia's face changed slightly. "Brother, it was clearly their fault..."

"Nydia!" Anthony's voice grew even darker. "This is your last chance. If you don't listen, if something happens in the future, don't come to me. Even if your parents come to me, I won't help you. Do you understand?"

At this point, Anthony paused and said, "What happened to the Bennett family? What about the Song family? You've seen it all, haven't you? Do you want the Austi family to end up like them?"

"And do you really think that if Myles is gone, Bonnie has no one to protect her? She has the Cooke family behind her, and Haider is there too. Even Myles' underlings from the black market are her support. You better think it through!"

After listening to Anthony's words, Nydia was finally moved. "I... I'll go apologize."

Anthony glanced at her and didn't say anything more. He turned and walked inside.

Stella arrived at the restaurant over half an hour late because she had been held up with some orders.

Meggie had already instructed the staff to start serving the food, and they were all eating when someone knocked on the door of the private room.

Meggie frowned slightly, turned to look at the door, assuming it was a waiter, and said, "Come in."

As the door opened and Meggie saw who entered, she furrowed her brows slightly and instinctively looked at Yanis and Bonnie.

Bonnie, upon seeing Anthony and Nydia enter, quickly averted her gaze.
