The Formidable Heir

SHE IS LIKE A CLOWN

This is unbelievable, the white envelope in his hand drops to the floor and his hand goes over his mouth.

"No, no. It can't be my Laura. It can't be her." Tears sting his eyes as he shakes his head in denial. "It must be someone else. My baby is under the weather. She can never cheat on me." His body is shaking as he tries to tell himself what he believes should be the truth.

But won't that be foolish of him to conclude after beholding the sight before him?

Those are the same clothes she wore for the graduation ceremony.

It is indeed her. His Laura is kissing another guy right before his eyes.

Tears are dribbling down his cheeks. His fists are clenched and his heart is heavy.

His deep blue eyes turn bloodshot as he matches furiously to them and jerks the guy away from her! "Get away from her, you asshole!" He growls.

"What the heck! Who the hell are you?!" The guy barks back at him and turns to look at Laura who doesn't look to be shocked to see that her boyfriend, Lucian is standing before her. And just caught her cheating on him.

"Don't tell me this is your loser of a boyfriend because I expected more from you." He scoffs, flaunting the Calibre de Cartier Flying Tourbillon watch worth one hundred and ten thousand dollars on his wrist.

Laura shrugs. "He happens to be. And I'm much more disappointed in myself for having anything to do with him than you probably are," she flashes him a seductive smile, and continues,

"At the time we became lovers, I had just broken up with my boyfriend. I merely used him to pass time and heal. It's nothing serious, just forget about him," she kisses him again in front of Lucian. She just insulted him more than he has ever been in his life.

"Of course," the guy giggles. "Losers should know to be in their place. After all, you are food for the wealthy like us, not for some pauper."

Lucian is speechless. He can't believe what he just heard. His blood goes hot and before the guy can lean into Laura for a third kiss as she had just drawn him to her, he jerks him away from her, stands before her, and drags her inside the house.

"Baby, it's me, Lucian, your love. I know this must have been a mistake. I'm ready to forgive you. Please tell me all you said out there are lies. And you didn't mean them. By the way, I just got the job offer! I'm going to work in one of the top 5 companies in the county!"

Laura snorts coldly and roughly pushes him away from her. "What silly offer? Does that even matter? You are still just a pauper and I, Laura Bush, can never have anything to do with a man like you!"

She flips her hair and gives a sarcastic laugh. "Even if you manage to get through the interview and begin working, do you think you can ever make a million dollars in your life?"

She scrunches her nose in disgust and pushes him further away from her. "You will forever be poor! And mind you, all I said out there were nothing but the truth! I just used you to pass time! Get that into your poor skull and get out of my house right now! You stink! Gosh!"

"You heard her. She doesn't want to have anything to do with a pauper like you. Do you see the watch on my wrist? It's worth over one hundred thousand dollars!"

The young man who just walked into the house a few minutes ago flashes his watch toward Lucian like it's a possession he can never be able to afford and lets out a mockery laugh.

Lucian is heartbroken and doesn't know what to say. His palms are greased with sweat and his expression is gloomy.

"Can you afford that? Can you even afford a five hundred dollar wear? You are just a waste! A piece of shit! Your place is in the street with beggars! Get your stinking self out of here right now!"

Lucian clenches his fist, his heart jackhammering against his chest. "You asshole!" He growls through puffed cheeks and makes to hoist himself at him.

But at this time, a Bugatti La Voiture Noire pulls over in front of the BMW car and a super beautiful, breathtaking lady clad in a black short Sleeveless Square Neck Midi Dress drops down the car and makes her way into the house, her high heels making click-clack sounds with each step she takes.

She walks up to them and smiles up at Lucian, her gold necklace and earrings glistening. "Hello, Lucian, I have been looking for you all over Bridge High. We were going on a date remember?" She flutters her eyes at him.

Lucian furrows his eyebrows and frowns, not seeming to know who she is.

The lady shrugs that off with a smile and looks up at Laura and her new boyfriend.

“Ohh, God, you both stink. Haven't you both heard of the word 'bathing,” She scrunches her nose and puts a handkerchief elegantly on her nose.

From a glance at her, Laura speculates that she’s from a rich family. But how could a loser like Lucian know such a gorgeous wealthy lady?

Laura is furious. In her mind, she could betray Lucian because he’s just a poor loser, but how dare Lucian betray her?! How could he cheat on her with such a rich, gorgeous girl?!

"Lucian, you are such a scum!" She shouts at him.

Lucian doesn't say anything, but the new girl is quick to respond, “Ah! Are you a Hyena? You will burst my ears!

“Who are you to talk to him in that manner anyway? Hah, I don't even care who you are. If you do that again then I will make sure that you lose your voice. Because of you, he was rejecting my proposal. Foolish girl!"

"No! How dare you, Lucian?!" Laura yells.

Lucian looks at Laura’s angry face and all he can suddenly think is that she is like a clown.

He suddenly feels relieved! He turns to the new lady and smiles up at her. “I am sorry I rejected you earlier. Now, I know the true face of my so-called girlfriend. If you still want to be with me then I accept your proposal." His smiling face suddenly darkens as he clenches his jaw and turns his face toward Laura with hatred.

"First, look at yourself, you cheated on me and you think you still have control over me?! I didn't know you were such a clown! For your information, you have no authority to limit me on whatever I want to do from now on!"
