Everyone's gaze is drawn to Lucian as he imperturbably prowls to the lady, his hands in his pockets and his head held high, exuding elegance and sovereignty. And although they aren't the ones he's moving to, they can't help their racing hearts. This is simply because everything he does is so unsettling and eerie that they elicit so much panic from them without him even intending to. And as they fix their gazes on him, they can't stop wondering what the lady did and what he means by "traitors" But not to infuriate him by asking questions or pestering him, they can only wait to see how things go down and what he meant by that.Meanwhile, as the brunette lady sees and confirms that Lucian is truly approaching her, and not with good intentions, she can't help but unconsciously begin taking backward steps with each step he takes toward her, her conscience pricking her.She sure knows what she did, and doesn't need a seer to tell her it is undeniably the reason Lucian referred to her as a
"So now you know you are done for?" Lucian sneers and purses his lips. "But I'm quite curious as to why you would be done for when you claimed you were saying the truth, or could it be you are hiding something and know it would be exposed once I speak? "You see, you are family, and I don't like hurting family, you can take Mason and Claudia for example; if I was ruthless to family, they would have been long dead, so I'll give you one last chance to confess the reason you did what you did because if you don't, and I do to my dad, you might not live to see another day. Just one last chance."Big beads of sweat emerge all over her, and her heart sinks into her belly. Of course, she's been lying all along, and she tried to keep Lucian from speaking to Michael so he wouldn't end up saying the truth, but she has just realized that nothing could stop him and that as long as he puts his mind to something, he would surely do it.She flushes beet red, looking so flustered, and scratches her ha
The lady, Tessy, is speaking so righteously and chagrined that one would think she's saying nothing but the truth. If outsiders were here, they would undeniably think she is the victim here and Lucian is the one going overboard by accusing her wrongly and still being bent on it. But then the Huttons are no outsiders, and as such they have this resolution within them that her words can't be true.This is because, first and foremost, they don't believe something would just come over Tessy and cause her to send such treacherous SMS. It's not like she was possessed by a demon. And even if she was, why would the only thing it would choose to do be that? Hah! They would be fools to believe such a ridiculous excuse.Secondly, they've seen just how morally upright Lucian is, so they don't believe he would have any reason to lie against Tessy. This is because as Michael stated before, he doesn't know Tessy tete-a-tete, all he knows is that she is a Hutton, his family, and he has not had any be
Michael has a deep scowl on his face as he glances at Tessy's expectant countenance, waiting for him to give her the go-ahead command, but he doesn't say anything, instead, he hisses and looks away from her.Even if everyone in this room doubted Lucian, he would never do so. He may not have spent much time with Lucian as they are only meeting today after so many years, but from Lucian's personality, he believes he knows what he can and cannot do! And this is one of those things he cannot do! Lucian is not only his son but the sacred formidable Python Lord and as such, Tessy is but a small fry in his eyes, so there's no way he'd stoop so low as to lie against her!If he said it, then it is nothing but the truth! Besides, he may be getting older and his vision isn't as acute as it once was, but he is certain he saw Tessy smirk at Lucian just now. That can only go on to prove that she has been lying all along and is doing so on purpose! Perhaps her motive is to tarnish Lucian's image! H
"Ah!" Tessy screams as the shoe drops anchor on her forehead, instantly turning the spot bright red and as if it would swell up anytime from now. "He stoned me! How brazen!" She grimaces, picks up the shoe, and furiously stones it back at him, whilst rubbing the sour spot. "How dare you?!" She glowers agitatedly."You are lucky that shoe didn't touch me," the young man scoffs. "And spare me the ridiculous yell. You are only a second-generation non-direct descendant, yet you shouted at us to shut up and now you are asking me, a first-generation descendant how dare I stone you?"The cheek of you to ask me that! You must be losing your senses if you don't know you did something wrong by shutting us up and deserve that stoning! Or perhaps, could it be you think you didn't do anything wrong?"Could it be that because you have the opportunity to speak directly with Young Master Hutton, you now believe you are a big deal and can talk to us anyhow you wish? Hehe, if that's what you think, you
"Ah!" Having been choked by the terrifying aura emitting from Lucian in ripples, Tessy unconsciously takes two steps backward, her eyes wide in horror, goosebumps appearing all over her, and all the hairs on her body standing on end as if sculptures. Just a minute ago, Lucian was so calm, but now as he gazes at her, he looks like a ferocious beast, eagerly ready to devour her. Her legs are wobbling and she is barely standing steady! Lucian has not even moved yet and she has already lost her senses of rationality and balance! But what if she is terrified? Does it change anything?! Lucian is not looking at that at all! If she likes, she can hit her head against the wall yet it won't change what he has in stock for her! Hah! He has been lenient with her all this time, allowing her to cuss, berate, and chastise him any way she likes, while also hoping she changes at the last minute.All this he did because she is family, his blood, but she had to cross the line by cursing his dad! Ah!
Naturally, Lucian should be seething with wrath as Tessy still goes on to refute him after what he has just done to her, but he isn't at all. As a matter of fact, he no longer feels angry and even has a smile on his chiseled face. Well, this is not the first time Lucian would be dealing with someone like Tessy, so he knows exactly what she is up to.It is not that Tessy doubts he has the guts to kill her, but she is just indirectly using the family card on him. Since she has seen he would not kill his family as he said so himself, she intends to act stubbornly while daring him to kill her if he has what he takes. All that is just a ruse– one she intends to keep up with until he is frustrated to death and would have no other option but to let her go, therefore having his reputation ruined as a result.But then, what she doesn't know is that Lucian has already seen through her scheme! And thus her act wouldn't work! This can be said to be the case because as soon as she is done speaki
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
