Despite Clara's loud voice, Roderick wanted to pretend as if he had never seen them approaching or heard her. He was determined to leave the scene immediately to avoid whatever nonsense they had plotted for him.However, before Roderick could take another step forward, Andre had already run towards him to block his path."You've bitten off more than you can chew, and now the only option you can think of to help yourself is to run around, isn't it?" Andre asked Roderick with a smirk.With a cold expression, Roderick answered Andre. "And what should that mean? Get out of my way, I don’t have time for whatever nonsense you have up your sleeves," he stated plainly.Clara slowly walked forward and joined her son in blocking Roderick's path. Even though Roderick's cold gaze made them swallow hard, they weren’t ready to give up on their mission.Then Clara spoke up, "Roderick, what’s the point of your arrogance when what Andre said is just the truth? You never stop acting like the almighty,

While the thugs stared at Roderick murderously, he chose to remain calm in that moment.With the sudden turn of events, Roderick could tell that this had been well planned before the attack occurred.This was when he realized how the Santos family had learned about his location, which is how they found him here.Isn't it ridiculous that their camouflage was that they had come to offer him a helping hand? At the same time, they had arranged for thugs to attack him.Leaving Andre's question hanging in the air, Roderick shifted his gaze away from the thug before him and looked at Clara. Then, he asked her, "Is this the Santos family's capability? Violence? Huh?"Clara couldn't help but look away from Roderick before she answered. "We came to you as gentle people, but you never appreciated it. Don't blame us for using an iron hand on you now. It's just what you deserve."Clara's boldness slowly returned as she turned to Roderick and sneered. "Don't tell me you're afraid already? I thought

In the big building where Anabella and her team were locked up, Margaret was confined in a distant apartment from them.She had been seething with anger ever since she was locked inside. This was because, after Tony told her they were going to rescue Anabella, he seized her phone. Then, he ordered her to drive to this location.After realizing that what Tony had told her earlier was different from the reality before her, he mentioned that she had the opportunity to shout for help for people to come to her rescue. However, Margaret couldn't utter a word in response.Tony's aura became so suffocating to her that she nearly wished the ground would open up to bury her. She just didn’t want to look into Tony’s eyes anymore.After being locked in the apartment, she became frustrated that she couldn’t reach his father on the phone, and she still hadn’t found out the reason why she was kidnapped.She didn’t even know who had given the order for her kidnapping.She paced back and forth in seri

Margaret's breath ceased immediately. She wondered how on earth she was supposed to digest this statement.She was still in the middle of the difficult decision when Roderick spoke more clearly so she could hear."I want to make you suffer greatly so that your father will wish he had never crossed my path."Roderick's voice had already become scarier by this time.The courage Margaret had gathered earlier was instantly wiped away.No one had ever dared to harm her before, let alone tell her to her face that he would make her suffer greatly.Margaret was aware of her father's frequent attacks on Roderick, so she understood he wanted to use her as a pawn for her father's offenses.The sharp-tongued Golden Lady naturally fell into deep silence now. She couldn’t utter a word.Well, what Roderick had just said to her was the same threat her father had made to him.However, Roderick was ready to make Caleb understand what it means to make someone suffer greatly by using her daughter.Upon s

Roderick was confused as to what could have prompted such a statement. The truth was, Roderick didn’t care whether she was disappointed in him or not. That was her problem.He was about to end the call since he didn’t have time for any nonsense. Just then, Felicia began to express her pain."At first, the embarrassing news about you was that you were sleeping around with different women, which Miss Bolton even caught you in the act. You didn’t stop there, but went ahead and kidnapped people!"Roderick didn’t know why he remained calm to hear what more nonsense she had to say.Felicia continued, "Weren't all the troubles you had earlier enough? Why are you so shameless and disgusting as to harm my brother so seriously and also beat my mother?!"Oh.This time, Roderick understood why Felicia was barking like a dog that smoked weed.He couldn’t believe that Clara Watson could be so devious as to make up such a great lie about him to her daughter.Not only did she lie that he was the one
