Joseph's voice is unexpectedly cold and vile; supposedly like he is now the helmsman and his eyes are burning with intense contempt as he turns and casts a cold glare at Elliot before turning back to Jacob, who is yet to speak.Joseph's dislike for Elliot should come as no surprise given that he has never liked Elliot for even a single day. He disdains him so much that he wishes to see him punished. And would go to any length to ensure he receives it. Long before now, Joseph had been plotting ways to deprive Elliot of his right to succeed Jacob and teach him a harsh lesson, and now, for the first time, the opportunity presented itself. How can he possibly let it go?Perhaps by the time Elliot has been ruined in every possible way, he will repent of his haughtiness and realize that the world does not revolve around him!Elliot in question isn't capable of displaying any further emotions regarding what's going on. He's so soaked in rain that his entire body is shivering and his teeth a
As the burly bodyguard slams the iron-flamed baton hard on Elliot's calves, the air is filled with the crisp sound of his bones smashing to smithereens. Elliot shudders violently. His pants tear at the spots where the iron-flamed baton slammed into, and red imprints appear on his skin, glistening in the now slightly darker atmosphere. Blood spurts from his mouth and mucus drip out of his nose, down his mouth, leaving his face so filthy and a mixture of tears, blood, and mucus.BAM!BAM!BAM!The burly bodyguard doesn't waste a second. He goes on hitting, hitting, and hitting! His eyes are gleaming, and thick veins are popping from his muscles. He moves with all agility as if his whole life depends on ruining Elliot for good.Elliot is sobbing uncontrollably. He has never cried this hard before. He is not only for the pain he is experiencing but also for the pain in his heart. That of the heart is much harder.He had loved Jacob unconditionally, no matter what. Even when Jacob treate
The Coles grimace exasperatedly and shamefully lower their heads, all of their rage evaporating in an instant. They turn and walk back to the spot they were initially standing, without saying a single word. They don't raise their heads even when they've already returned to their initial position. They are too afraid to gaze upon Jacob's face as they for sure know that what he just said is undeniably true. It's no secret anymore that if they had been educated, things would not have come to this. They are so ashamed that the majority of them are covering their faces.Laying on the wooden slap covered in blood and sweat, Elliot sucks his teeth and curses incoherently. "Are you using my state to issue threats now... father?" With tears in his eyes, he admonishes Jacob.He had wasted over three minutes before finally addressing him as father. And even though he just called him that, it still tastes so bitter in his mouth. The very first time addressing his father as father feels so out
The Pearsons' Mansion; Dining Room: 8 a.m.The Pearsons are seated in their respective gleaming chairs in the dining room, gazing upon a plethora of breathtaking salivating meals on the beautifully decorated dining table. The table is decorated with meals such as pancakes, waffles with fruits, roasted bacon, chicken sausage, french fries, cheese sandwich, and hash browns. And there are also assorted kinds of drinks; both fruit wines and champagne, including milk.The Pearsons are awestruck as they keep staring at the items in front of them. It's more like they are having a feast when it's meant to be an ordinary breakfast! Most of all, they can't believe Lucien did all of this!Hah! It's far too shocking! They wouldn't have believed it if they hadn't come across him so many times in the kitchen as they trooped in to get cups of coffee!If it had been they didn't see him preparing the meals himself and only perceived the aromas, they would have honestly assumed he bought them! But then
Lucien frowns. Who dares to call him while he is having breakfast with his family? Is the person tired of living? He grits his teeth and without looking at the caller, hangs up. He grabs a fork and punches on a chicken sausage to eat, but his phone starts ringing again, much more loudly than before.The Pearsons exchange sidelong glances."It could be important, honey. Why not take it?" Juliet says with a shrug of her shoulders. Calling him honey makes her feel so good!It's as if she has butterflies in her stomach. The sensation is as sweet as the moment before orgasm. So thrilling and breathtaking.Lucien sweetly smiles up at her and shakes his head. "Nothing is more important than you; nothing is more important than you all! Everything else can wait until we are done!"The Pearsons can't help the sensation that pulls through them. His words are too delightful! And he says them with so much casualty as if they are nothing!Santiago has a soft expression on his face as he stares at
"Did he pick up?" The voice of Jack Ville can be heard in the background.Lucien creases his brow. "You two are together, Bryson?""Yes, Mr. Wood," Jack is the one to respond. "I called you seven times but you didn't pick up. I had to drive down to the Brysons' Villa to meet up with Mr. Ethan. See, he called you just once and you picked up. Mr. Wood is it that you didn't want to pick up my call?" The sadness in Jack's voice is obvious to everyone.At this point, no one would guess he's the great helmsman of the Villes! He just sounded like a girl querying her boyfriend for missing her calls and was about to break into tears.Lucien scoffs. "I purposefully did not answer your calls. I didn't feel like! Will you start crying now?" He bursts out laughing. "Dumbhead, I didn't pick because I didn't want anything to ruin my mood! Wasn't it about the Coles that you called? I was in the middle of breakfast with Mi amor and her family, did you expect me to abandon that and listen to your nonse
Lucien picks up the phone, and as he glances at the screen to see the caller, his hard expression softens and is replaced with a sneer. It is Declan! He must have some news!Although the call from Declan has just made him a bit delighted, he picks up the call indifferently, with no care in the world, and places the phone against his ear. "Dec," he breathes.In a luxurious Galaxy, Declan's burly figure appears. He seems a bit anxious as he places the phone against his ear. "It's Lucien, Dec. He can't possibly harm you. He is your friend," he whispers to himself to calm his nerves and rubs his chest. The incident in the morning is still making him a bit skeptical. He doesn't know if Lucien is angry with him. And it is freaking him out. He keeps rubbing his chest until he feels he is a bit calm.He grins as he is feeling better and says sharply with all delight, "Lucien, everything is going according to plan. Forest Hills is in a frenzy and the Millers are so terrified."I haven't sent t
Lucien is dazed. So it's all because of that? So she quit her job because of him? Why didn't he think that far? Hah! How hilarious! He wonders how she would react when she discovers that he is the CEO! Hehe. Or should he just tell her that he is the CEO to save her the trouble? No, he decides against it.If he does, he is certain it will make her lazy and proud as she will feel no one else in the company is like her! No, he does not want that. It's best if his identity remains a secret. It's all for the best.Juliet, on the other hand, is disgruntled. What the actual heck? Who stops going to work because her CEO does not show up on the day he promised? What kind of nonsense is that? Her pupils constrict as she glares disgustfully at Brianna. "To be honest, I'm disappointed in you! Who quits a job because of such a silly thing? Besides, What do you have to do with the CEO? What's damn your business with him? What?!"Come on, Juli!" Brianna grunts, slightly infuriated. "Look at me, I
