DO YOU THINK HE'LL HELP US?
"Honey… what do you think we should do?" Hailey asked in a tension filled voice as she looked at Jerome, hoping he would say something reassuring.Jerome let out a harsh scoff, his expression darkening instantly as he turned toward her."What should we do?" he repeated, his voice rising with anger. "What is there to do? Ask your precious children… they are the ones who created this mess... If they have at least once before creating this mess, we wouldn't be here thinking about what to do now." Hailey sighed, trying to keep her composure despite the sharpness in his tone."It’s not entirely their fault," she said, her voice softer but firm. "That bastard Ethan fooled them, anyone would have believed it was fake in that situation... Because we all know that Ethan is good for nothing, who would've thought someone like him can afford such a priceless item? How can you blame our children because of someone's fault? You need to blame that bastard for fooling our children." Jerome’s eyes n
IS IT TRUE?
"If you’re going to place the blame, then place it equally, dad, because I am not the only one involved in this," Sally said, her voice steadier than before, though the tension beneath it was impossible to hide.Her words shifted the tension instantly, and immediately, all eyes turned toward Charlie.Before the silence could settle, Jenny’s head snapped toward Sally, her expression twisting with anger as she stepped closer."What the hell are you doing?" she snapped, her voice sharp and filled with disbelief. "Why are you dragging this onto him now when you were the one who acted without thinking?"Sally flinched at her words, but the fear pressing down on her was far stronger than Jenny’s anger, and instead of backing down, she pushed forward, her voice trembling yet stubborn."I’m just telling the truth," she insisted quickly, her eyes flickering toward Jerome as if seeking protection. "We all believed it was fake because Charlie said so, and if he hadn’t insisted on it, none of thi
FAMILY DISCIPLINE
"So, do any of you plan on explaining this to me, or should I assume that none of you even understand what you’ve done?"Jerome’s voice echoed through the Carvendish mansion the moment the doors opened.He was seated in the grand hall as if he had been waiting for them to come home, the notice placed neatly on the table in front of him while his gaze lifted slowly toward the three who had just stepped inside.Sally and Hailey froze the moment they saw him.Charlie stopped mid-step.None of them had expected this.They had only just returned, yet the notice had already reached the house before them, and Jerome’s presence alone made it clear that there was no escaping this situation.The air felt heavier with each passing second.Jerome picked up the document again, his expression unreadable as he spoke in a tone that was far too calm for the situation."Compensation exceeding one trillion dollars, payable within seven days, with consequences severe enough to destroy this family’s stand
THIS IS ILLEGAL
"That’s impossible… you can't demand us to pay, there’s no way you can do such a barbaric act here!" Jenny’s voice trembled despite her attempt to sound firm, her fingers curling tightly as she stared at the shattered fragments on the floor, while the faint glow of the broken pearl continued to mock her disbelief.The man did not react to her denial, his expression remained unchanged, as if her words held no more weight than the silence around them."You have one week," he said calmly, his tone steady yet suffocating, as if the outcome had already been decided. "If the amount is not settled by then, the consequences will not be something your family can bear Ms. Jenny, at that time you'll see how barbaric our Luiron family can become for our heirloom."The words settled heavily, but this time, they were not met with silence."We are not paying anything," Jenny snapped suddenly, her voice rising as she forced herself to stand her ground, even as the unease in her chest grew stronger.
IRREVERSIBLE
"How does it matter to you?" Ethan crossed his arms, his gaze settling on Jenny with quiet indifference, as if her words held no real weight. "Whether I’m impressing anyone or not… and even if I do, it will never be for you."A brief pause followed, but he didn’t stop there."More importantly," he added calmly, his tone turning colder without rising in volume, "why are you so obsessed with me to this extent? Have you forgotten your place… or do you need me to remind you that I am your aunt’s husband?"The words landed without force, yet they carried enough weight to shift the air around them.Jenny’s expression stiffened."You…" she began, but before she could continue, Scarlett stepped forward, her lips curving into a faint smile that didn’t quite reach her eyes."He’s right," she said smoothly, her voice calm yet laced with quiet sharpness. "Why are you so concerned about my husband? Don’t tell me you still haven’t gotten over him."Jenny’s eyes widened slightly, irritation flashing
ON WHAT AUTHORITY?
"How dare you come here after I warned you not to?"Jenny’s voice cut through the hall the moment Ethan stepped forward, her composure cracking as anger surged through her, her eyes locked onto him as if his very presence was an insult she could not tolerate.Ethan paused mid-step, his gaze shifting toward her, and his brows lifting slightly, not in shock, but in faint confusion as he studied her expression for a brief moment."You warned me? About what?" he asked calmly, his tone carrying neither guilt nor hesitation, only quiet curiosity as if he genuinely failed to understand what she was referring to.Jenny stiffened for a second before recovering, her chin lifting slightly as she spoke with confidence. "Yes, I did, I told you not to attend this meeting if you still wanted to come back to me."A brief silence followed.Ethan exhaled slowly, a faint sigh escaping him as he looked at her, his gaze steady, almost indifferent."Even if you did," he said calmly, "what made you think I
