C95: I Suddenly Miss Prison
"You bastard!" Julian's furious roar echoed throughout the courtyard.His vision was still spinning from the previous slap. He could practically see stars dancing before his eyes.Clutching his burning cheek, he glared at Gregory. "How dare you hit me that hard?!""Do you have a death wish?!" His face twisted viciously.Before Gregory could react, he swung his arm.THWACK!The slap landed squarely on Gregory's face."AH!" The latter staggered backward. "Young Master Hawthorne, I didn't mean it!"Despite his words, he immediately retaliated.THWACK!Julian's head snapped sideways. The crowd watched in stunned silence.Soon, the two men were slapping each other with increasing force.THWACK!THWACK!THWACK!Neither showed mercy or held back. Both understood Veyron's intention.If one side hit lightly while the other hit hard, the weaker slap would be interpreted as disobedience.As a result, each strike became more vicious than the last. Within minutes, both men looked miserable.Their
C94: Hypocrites!
"You... You people!" Julian pointed at the surrounding guests. His chest rose and fell violently with anger. "Hypocrites!"A few minutes ago, not a single one of them had spoken on Veyron's behalf. Some had even joined Gregory in mocking him.Yet now that Augustus Laurent and Reginald Langford had intervened, they had all switched sides without hesitation.Every one of them was trying to push him forward to protect themselves.Julian felt both furious and humiliated. But just as he was about to argue further, his phone suddenly rang.RING!RING!The sharp ringtone cut through the tense atmosphere.Julian glanced at the screen and froze. It was his father. A bad feeling instantly appeared in his heart. He hurriedly answered."Dad..."Before he could say another word, an angry roar exploded from the speaker."Julian Hawthorne!" The voice was so loud that several nearby guests heard it clearly.Julian's body stiffened. "D-Dad...""Where are you?" his father demanded furiously. "Didn't th
C93: I'll Never Kneel To Him
"You want us to kneel and apologize?" Julian stared at Reginald in disbelief.An ordinary apology was one thing. But kneel? Kneel before Veyron? The very thought felt absurd!In Julian's eyes, Veyron was nothing more than an ex-convict. A man with a stained past and no status worth mentioning.What qualifications did he have to receive such treatment?"Master Langford, I'm still the young master of the Hawthorne family." Julian's expression darkened. A trace of anger appeared in his voice."You want me to kneel before him. Have you considered what that would do to my family's reputation?"Reginald merely looked at him coldly. "Oh?"He raised a finger. "A man kneels to the heavens."Then he raised a second finger. "He kneels to his parents."A third finger followed. "And he kneels to the earth.""But I will never kneel before someone like him." His gaze landed on Veyron as he swore. His tone was firm and resolute.He truly believed Reginald would not risk offending the Hawthorne family
C92: You Will Kneel
"Yes, Master Langford!" Thomas nodded immediately.Cold sweat had already formed on his forehead. The matter had escalated far beyond what he could handle.Without wasting another second, he ordered several security personnel to retrieve and review the surveillance footage.The entire courtyard fell silent as everyone waited. A few minutes later, the security team returned.Thomas quickly stepped forward. His expression looked increasingly uneasy."Master Langford..." His voice was noticeably lower than before. "We've checked all the surveillance footage.""And?" Reginald's gaze remained cold."There was no theft." Thomas swallowed hard. "Nothing was stolen nor did this gentleman attempt to steal anything."BOOM!The crowd instantly erupted."What?""No theft?""Then all those accusations were false?""How embarrassing."Countless strange looks immediately landed on Gregory and Julian.Meanwhile, Julian's expression became extremely ugly. His fists clenched tightly. How was this possi
C91: Do You Have Proof?
However, the most shocked person in the courtyard was undoubtedly Julian Hawthorne.His mind went completely blank. He simply couldn't understand it.Veyron was nothing more than a former prisoner in his eyes. An ex-convict. A nobody.So why was Reginald Langford repeatedly standing up for him? Could it be a misunderstanding?The more Julian thought about it, the more convinced he became.That had to be the explanation. Otherwise, none of this made sense.Immediately, he stepped forward."Master Langford!" His voice carried a trace of urgency. "I think you've misunderstood the situation."Reginald slowly turned his head. His expression was dark."Oh?"Julian pointed directly at Veyron. "He's the real troublemaker."The courtyard instantly fell silent. Everyone watched nervously.Reginald's eyes narrowed. "What did you say?"Julian thought the old man hadn't heard clearly. Thus, he repeated himself."I said the troublemaker is Veyron. He caused trouble first. He assaulted Mr. Whitmore.
C90: Difference Between Heaven And Earth
"You—!" Julian's face instantly turned red with fury.His chest rose and fell violently. How dare this bastard pretend not to know him?To him, that sentence was even more humiliating than being slapped in public."Young Master Hawthorne." Gregory looked between the two men in surprise. "You know him?"Julian snorted coldly. His gaze locked onto Veyron like a poisonous snake."We have some history."The hatred in his eyes was undisguised. Inside, he was already sneering.'Still acting arrogant at a time like this?''Fine.''Then don't blame me for what's about to happen.'A cold smile gradually appeared on his face. Tonight's gathering wasn't an ordinary banquet.A truly important figure was expected to appear. Someone whose status was beyond anything Veyron could imagine.Julian originally came here to find an opportunity to get close to that person.Now, however, another opportunity had appeared.If Veyron continued causing trouble, he would inevitably attract attention.By then, ev
