Claudia doesn't dare ignore Lucian's holler as she instantly comes to a halt and turns, asking begrudgingly, "You were already done with us, so I thought I could leave after I've already cleared the air, did I do anything wrong?" As she speaks, her voice quivers.How tables turn! Right now, she's obviously so terrified of Lucian that she can't help herself! It is safe to say that she might even be traumatized by him!As Lucian sees this, he smiles, suddenly calming down. Actually, the truth is he doesn't have anything to do with Claudia anymore, but he had felt she didn't show him enough respect by not asking if he was done with her before attempting to leave, but looking at her now and having heard her excuse, he can see she didn't mean to disrespect him because she thought he was done with her. He had misunderstood her."Forget it," he waves her off indifferently, "I just hope you would be a good wife and tell Mason everything that happened here today and how powerful I am so that in
"What?!" Tessy inhales sharply. "You!" She clenches her jaw and lashes out at him, barking contemptuously, "How can you be so callous?! Of all punishments in this world, how could you have chosen those?!" She stomps her foot and sucks her teeth, adding pugnaciously, "You didn't even ask for me to be banished alone, but still went as far as adding that my identity be taken away from me!"How will I survive the harsh world without my identity? Not like I even want to be banished, but how can you be so heartless? Do you perhaps wish me death?!""What is my business about how you will survive the harsh world? And what would I get by wishing you death? It's not like you are of high status in the family!" The gentleman scoffs nonchalantly, his eyes filled with so much contempt and derision. "I only offered an idea as Young Master Hutton requested and in case you don't know as I can see you have nothing upstairs, it's left for him to decide if he would go with it or not, so instead of call
"Wow," Lucian's eyebrows twitch in mystification. "She didn't just do that, right? No, she didn't, right? I must have seen wrongly," He babbles incessantly and breathlessly, shaking his head frantically and stroking his jaw, still finding it hard to believe that all those truly happened.Everyone looking at Lucian might think he is acting this way because of Tessy's response. After all, none of them can believe she had the cheek to ask him to let her off the hook after everything she had done.But surprisingly, that is not the reason Lucian is acting this way. In fact, it has nothing to do with Tessy's response even though they all happened at the same time.Since that is not the case, one might be wondering what then is making him act this way and how come there are no answers.Well, that is because the things that are making him act this way were done discreetly and only he had seen them. But even at this, he still can't find it in himself to believe it truly happened!Having seen
Lucian's eyes are as seamless as a bottomless pit and his voice is firm and resolute, like the voice of an ancient emperor used to issuing orders and leaving no room for debate of any sort. And as he stands tall like the King of some sovereign hidden kingdom with his head held high and his hands in his pockets, his jaw is arched in a straight line, and he is exuding a majestic and formidable aura, forcing everyone's heart to plunge far back into their stomachs and their mouths to shut tightly, silence soon dawning on them. And so it stretches for so many minutes before Tessy suddenly gasps as everything Lucian just said dawns on her and the horrible hands of reality kick in. "No, you can't do this," the next second, she blurts breathlessly whilst panting laboriously and on the verge of tears. When that plan to do what she has just done suddenly flashed through her mind, she had been so excited and thought it would undoubtedly earn her her freedom back. This is because she has alw
"Hah!" Chad clenches his teeth, his face stretching into a deep frown, "Are you threatening me? Eh?""Yes, I am! Isn't it already clear enough? Heh, look at you asking me if I'm threatening you as if I can't threaten you! Old cargo, who do you really think you are? Do you perhaps think you are a high figure in this family just because you are the family chief butler?"Obviously! That is definitely what is going on in your head and why your ego keeps surging higher and higher, almost reaching the heavens, with each passing second, but let me tell you right now, no matter what you think you are, or perhaps, who you think you are, you are only but a slave here! A godforsaken slave! Get that into your skull!"I'll stop there for now. Anyways, if you want to live and die at your appointed time, then you should better keep off, otherwise, I'll gladly send you to the afterlife! If I said it, then be sure I'll definitely do it! I don't bluff! "But if you want to gamble with your life, you ca
Lucian had stated not long ago that his eyes will never behold Tessy again till he dies, which is why he didn't spare her a glance despite the fact that he feels so compelled to do so just so he could use the sight of her horrible face as the antidote for everything she said to him. This is just to show how much bigger his word is to his urge, and how he would rather not satisfy it than go back on his word! His word would always be his virtue! And he intends to always keep to it for as far as he lives.Meanwhile, everyone, including Michael, is taken aback by what just happened to Tessy and Lucian's cold declaration, which implies that he had somehow done that to her and can even do far worse than that.They don't understand what is going on at all because they had all clearly seen Tessy's palm slightly brush against Lucian's calf, so how come she got fire burns? Where did the fire come from? It's not like Lucian's leg is burning. Their hearts are ricocheting violently and they c
"Wait! Don't take that last step out!" Lucian suddenly hollers just as Black reaches the door and is about to walk out. Even without turning, he had accurately guessed right that Black was just about to leave and it would take just a step!Seeing this, everyone is utterly flabbergasted, their brows rising in awe. Such sharp sense! He had accurately guessed such a thing without even turning and at where he is standing, which is more than twenty feet away from where Black is.Ah! Once they feel they have seen the height of Lucian's power, he keeps proving them wrong as his power keeps getting more and more terrifying with each action he takes that they are now completely perplexed.This is because from what they can see right now, they are not sure there is someone in DC that could challenge Lucian, so how is it that a lad who grew up in the orphanage is this powerful?What truly is his backstory and why has he chosen to keep it buried just as he kept how he rose back to life buried? T
"So much for someone I had good intentions for," Lucian hisses resentfully and shakes his head. "You see, I had stopped you because I wanted to tell you of a way you could regain your freedom and come back to be one of us, but now you've insulted and talked to me rudely yet again, demonstrating that you still haven't learned from your mistakes and aren't at the very least respectful, so I don't think there's any need for me to waste my breath. "And what's more? Can you guess what? Well, I had also wanted to ask my dad to send you some cool cash. "After all, you are leaving the country and would need some funds to get your new life started, but you can forget about that too. After all, as you said, I'm a wicked boy. Hah!"He pauses and takes a deep breath. "Black, take her away. This time I won't stop you."'He had wanted to tell me of a way I could regain my freedom? He was willing to ask for money for me, but now he won't because I was rude to him and insulted him?!'Lucian's words
