As Lucian's gaze drops to Mason, his face stretches into a deep frown. This is because this Mason of a guy has such an innocent face. He is positive that if a murder is committed by Mason and he and his dad are brought out for the public to vote on who the culprit is by physical appearance, his dad will be chosen at first glance!He appears so innocent that you'd think he wouldn't hurt a fly, yet surprisingly, he is the same man that ruthlessly snatched his father's position, injured Supreme Doctor Hong, and threatened to kill his dad if he dared to challenge him! He also went as far as ordering the maids not to serve him food!His ruthlessness is one his dad with his cold front can't even compare to! Guess the innocent-faced are the ones that do the most! Thinking about that, he is realizing he shouldn't even have been surprised because it appears to be their natural trait! It is something he has experienced beforehand–just a few days ago from someone he thought he would spend the re
'What arrogance!' Despite the fact that Mason has just replied to Lucian, he still can't help but seethe in rage! Lucian had no fear at all and came before him to spit trash! He was so bold as to ask him to renounce his position–a position he hasn't even held for 24 hours and one he painstakingly took away from Michael after so many years of dreaming of it! Ah! He clenches his fists, feeling like darting toward Lucian and showing the lad his place. However, on second thought, he decides against that and manages to tone down his rage and keep it at bay. He doesn't take Lucian seriously at all, and for someone of his caliber, he feels he would be stooping so low if he fights Lucian himself.Be it age or status, he feels he is towering over Lucian. A few days ago, Lucian was just an orphan who grew up in an orphanage and had nothing to his name. Right now since he has found out his identity, he is meant to be the heir to the family, but that is no longer possible because he has taken
Mason has deep cuts on the sides of his eyes, his lower lip, and several other parts of his body, which are all bleeding, causing the air to be filled with the harsh acidic fragrance of blood. His eyes are bright red, and every part of him aches, but surprisingly, all of that pales in comparison to how terrified he feels right now! He'd looked down on Lucian and dismissed him as nothing worth bothering about, but with just one step, Lucian abruptly darted to him, and this happened. And the worst part is that despite the fact that he was staring right at Lucian, he couldn't even see him move, which is why he couldn't defend himself! Everything happened so fast! Shivers are running down his spine in ripples that he is finding it hard to speak. The first time he is ever speechless!"I'm guessing your silence is a yes," since Mason won't speak, Lucian states matter of factly and grabs him by the collar."Get your hands off of me, punk!" Mason barks, struggling to break free from him and
Lucian's gaze is dark, sinister, and brimming with an unwavering determination to do what he wants. From the looks of things, he doesn't seem to care whether Mason dies or not. After all, the man is of no use to him and also of no benefit to the family since all he knows how to do best is snatch his brother's position and disrespect his elders!At the very least, if he dies, he would be freeing the family of a pest that might turn out to be a big headache in the future and peace would return!Meanwhile, at Lucian's remark, Mason can see that if he really goes ahead to smash him against that steel table and he dies, he would only have himself to blame as Lucian has just made it seem like only a fragile individual would die to such treacherous hit!He is certain that if Lucian was the one in his shoes, he would not have said that, but since he isn't, he is proudly saying it as if it is nothing but the truth and everyone appears to believe him as no one is refuting him!After defeating M
Mason's face is extremely gloomy. Of all things Lucian had to ask for, it had to be the one thing he is so holding onto and doesn't think he can accept to give away. Now, he is finding himself in a tight spot, with no idea of what option to choose.On one hand, he would keep his life if he does as Lucian wants, and on the other hand, he would die if he doesn't. He is stuck between losing his position and keeping his life. Hah! What if he wants to keep the two?He'd only become the Patriarch last night, he hadn't even enjoyed the position that much, and now he is being asked to relinquish it. As he thought earlier, he doesn't think he can do that. This is because, he can't begin to think of himself going back to his former position, where Michael would be lording him around and he would be beneath him. No, that sounds so horrible.It is his lifetime dream to be above, to be Lord, and he has achieved it! How can he just give it up like that? Wouldn't that make him as much a coward as
It has become a norm in life that in every family, company, friendship, or gathering, even if they all have one mind, there would always be a traitor, a Judas Iscariot.Of course, this fierce-looking young lady didn't storm into the courtroom by mere chance because based on the look on her face and the several burly figures she stormed in with, it is very much clear that she was well prepared before coming. It so happens that while Lucian and Mason were lost in a heated discussion a few minutes ago, a young lady amongst the other Huttons had tipped her off about what was going on and how she should come with so many guards as it appears that Lucian is so powerful.Since there are two generations in the Hutton family, the Mansion was divided into two halves. The main part of the Mansion is occupied by the first generation as they are superior to the second generation with one-quarter of the family guards and slaves whilst the other part is occupied by the second generation and the rem
For someone who has lived at the bottom of society for so many years and endured so many insults, berations, and humiliations, Lucian has not been opportune to make genuine friends, let alone love so many people. It is only on very rare occasions that he finds himself loving someone so unconditionally–something that happens once in a hundred or more days.The first time was with his orphanage sister, who had to leave him after being adopted by a certain middle-class family. The second was with his ex-girlfriend, Laura.It is no longer a secret that he loved her with all of his heart and was willing to die for her if the necessity arose. Unfortunately, she never valued his love because he had nothing and abandoned him for another–an incident that still haunts him even up to this day.The third occasion happens to be with Chad. When he first met Chad, he'd assumed his kind gestures were because he was his Young Master and that if not for that, the old man would have been amongst those w
"OMG!" Almost everyone, especially the ladies, is shocked to their bones by that slap. Their jaws have dropped to a drastic point where a cup could fit inside and they are gaping at the woman who fearlessly raised her fist against the Lady of the family.Their hearts are almost whacking out of their panting chests, as well as their pupils from their sockets, and goosebumps are all over them with their rigid hairs standing on end so strongly as if steel sculptures and their tongues dry of any saliva.And just like them, Claudia's jaw is dropped in horror and her eyes are wide in shock. "No, that just didn't happen," she says breathlessly, shaking her head in denial and clutching her aching cheek.She really can't believe anyone would dare lay her hand on her, the Lady of the family despite that it has already happened. No, she just can't. But isn't that a clear lie? She is gripping her sore cheek, which bears the imprint of the lady's hand. Will it not be delusory if she pretends it di
