CHAPTER 8: HIS PURPOSE

After the live ended, many people who streamed it started cutting out from the real videos, posting it online with shady comments, directing to the Gilbert’s family.

David stood at a corner, picking on his fingers as he read the hateful comments about him and his family. He couldn’t help but to just cuss out everyone.

" The Gilbert family are filled with scoundrels; they should just run out of money and go broke till infinity. " He read aloud and he hissed loudly, scrolling up to check on another comments.

" I hate how dishonest they are and the old hag, how spiteful she’ll be to even send thugs to beat her son-in-law to death. "

" So? what if he’s a live-in-son-in-law? Does he deserve all these kind of shit? " David scoffed, then, chuckled afterwards.

" Like, you guys hated live-in-sons-in-law, what happened now? " He asked, no one in particular as he couldn’t help but continue reading the hateful comments. Then, he heard footsteps approach him from behind, making him turn his phone off. He looked back to check who it is and met his mother, glaring daggers at him.

" To the hall! " She ordered, coldly before leading the way and David followed. They reached there and the family are already gathered at the table, except one person of course, Hudson!

He slowly went to his seat and Mrs. Gilbert cleared her throat before proclaiming; " Yeah… This has happened and we were lucky to have the Golden not take this matter farther than this… like, what if Florence hasn’t met Addams Golden? What would have happened to the Gilbert family? " She asked and Florence smile proudly, her ego surfacing in the atmosphere.

" I don’t care about the news or something, what will happen to Giovanni? If we don’t take him in and the people out there finds out, we are surely going to be the center of attention again and this time, it will be worst. The only advantage this news brought us is that we were noticed by the Golden family. " Abel, David’s cousin stated and they all went silent.

They were all still silent when Hudson appeared, not sparing anyone glance. He was on his phone with his eyes glued to it, then, Mrs. Gilbert asked; " Where are you going? " He raised his head up and gave a simple reply; " Going to pick Giovanni up… " without holding up for anyone’s opinion, he left immediately.

Mrs. Gilbert heaved a rough sigh, rubbing the bridge of her nose. Then, asked; " You said he didn’t sign the divorce paper, right? " Florence looked up sharply on hearing that and all eyes fell on her.

" Grandma… Please, I’m not going back to him! " She protested, tears gathering up in her eyes and Mrs. Gilbert chuckled softly before getting on her feet, hitting her stick on the ground.

" You have to go back to him, whether you like it or not. So, bear the cross and act like the lady you are! " She scolded, walking away afterwards. Florence pushed her seat off, stomping out of the hall too.

[; " Oh my! Oh my!! Oh my!!! Who the hell in here did you offend? Oh my God!! "] She groaned in frustration as the words she uttered to him in the prison the other day rang in her.

" Even if I want to act all innocent, I was the prime witness to his case, how will I even tell him it was a mistake on my side when it’s obvious that it was on purpose? " She groaned in irritation, banging the door behind her on entering their room.

[" You? Make them regret? Inside this prison you’re in? Giovanni, wake up… it’s your end time and let me tell you, I’ve never for once loved you… I just had to put up with it till the right time comes and when I saw my baby brother was in danger, I had to pull you in for it. "]

" Arrghh!!! " She screamed loudly, ruffling her hair in frustration. Does this have to occur? Everything was going well for her yesterday and now, this has to happen?

" Giovanni!!! You son of a bitch, asshole, an irritation mustered up face, a pig dumb, dirty scum!!! You are just a luck chaser, you idiot! " She screamed out, venting her frustration in the air.

***

Minutes later, Hudson drove into the compound and screech to a halt, rushing down to help Giovanni out. The stand-men around watch Giovanni in pity as Hudson help him out. He’s putting on an up and down joggers, giving him the best fit of the guy he really is. Anyone who doesn’t know him before might think he’s a new guy who’s just arrived in the country.

He was looking so freaking hot that any lady with a heart whatsoever will drool over and over for him. They reached the sitting room and met the family there, obviously waiting for them. Then, Giovanni mumbled, his grip on Hudson’s material tightening; " I think… uhm… I want to go to my room. "

Florence descended the stairs staring hard at Giovanni who didn’t even notice her. She couldn’t stop staring at the angel-made-like with a demon beauty. She quickly arranged herself and quavered; " Giovanni… " On hearing that, Giovanni chuckled inwardly and looked up slowly to meet her gaze on him.

" I don’t think Giovanni has the time to take in all your words now, he needs to rest up and mind you, no one should check up on him. " He warned, taking Giovanni away from them.

They both entered Hudson’s room and Giovanni heaved a rough sigh, ruffling his hair as he walked up to the bed. Then, he whisper yell; " How am I going to keep up with this? It’s frustrating! " Hudson chuckled and joined him on the bed.

" Did you see Florence? She was trying to put on a façade. " Hudson uttered and Giovanni exhaled loudly.

" I just want to sleep all my worries off… if Addams call, tell him to announce the company opening next three days. " He declared and he lay on his back, dozing off instantly. Hudson kept staring at Giovanni and he lower his gaze a little before he muttered amidst gritted teeth;

" Even if you insist it’s your game to play, I’ll make sure to be a weapon you’ll be using for the rest of the game. "

They all sat patiently waiting for Mrs. Gilbert, none talking to one another. The silence there can make a pin drop sound clear. Giovanni was enjoying the silence when Abel spoke up; " Yeah, I understand it’s part of family but Giovanni doesn’t need to be here. " Giovanni almost rolled eyes at him but he had to suppress himself and just put up with it." It’s none of your business whether he’s here or not.

A loud gasp escaped his lips as he stared around at everyone and found eyes ogling at him." Oh my Lord! I didn’t do that, right?

He has never for once thought Giovanni will slap his mother, it doesn’t hurt him though, it’s just that it’s unbelievable." Wh-at did you… Oh my God!!! I’m not believing this! Did you just slap my mom? " David asked, clenching his jaw hard. He pressed his lips together, getting up from his seat. Then, he pointed at Giovanni with an exasperated sigh….

He later secured the project with Young Emperor Group yesterday after Florence was beaten to pulp and was later thrown out like a piece of garbage." Is that what’s important right now?

It’ll benefit the both of us! "" How? " Hudson couldn’t help but ask. As far as he can remember, Mr. Everdeen wanting Florence to be married to Grey is because he has the Golden heir on his side. The Everdeen are truly wealthy but they are absolutely nothing compared to Jeremy, not to talk of his father, to not even go to the Golden heir at all."
