Cedric’s voice carried an indescribable sense of authority, and no one else was in the living room apart from him.
Eugene’s initially calm face turned cold instantly as his dark eyes fixed on Cedric. Before he could speak, a sterner reprimand
came from behind him. “Did you not hear what I said back then? You have the nerve to tell Eugene what to do now?!”
With Landon’s support, Henry slowly entered the living room. Despite nearing his 80s, the air around him was as domineering as
it had been when he was in his younger years.
Glaring at Cedric, he said, “Don’t talk about what he promised you. Think back to what you agreed to me back then and tell me
you still have the nerve to bring it up!”
Cedric did not expect Eugene to bring the old man over. The anger on his face froze for a moment and then slowly receded.
Frowning, he asked, “Dad, why did you come?”
“Would you even remember that you have a father if I didn’t?” Henry snorted in an unfriendly manner. “The Scott family hasn’t
fallen to the point where we need Eugene to enter a forced marriage. You listen here, I don’t agree with this.”
worth marrying. If you meet her, you’ll surely like her too.”
The old man raised a brow at that. “You and Stella think she’s worth marrying? If you think she’s worth marrying, then you marry
her.”
After saying this, Henry looked at Eugene and said, “Let’s go. Take me back now.”
Cedric’s expression was thunderous now, but he could not refute it. He looked at Eugene with a gloomy expression. “Come to
the study. I have something to discuss with you.”
When he saw his father about to speak up again, he added, “It’s about work.”
After saying that, he turned and entered the study. Henry looked at Eugene and shook his head gently.
When Eugene entered the study, Cedric threw a set of documents at him. “LeapCo’s recent decline in performance has already
affected the overall company.”
Cedric fixed his gloomy gaze on Eugene and said, “Do you think the shareholders in the company have no opinions?”
Eugene knew better than anyone else considering what had happened recently. He picked up the documents and flipped
through them. His gaze wavered slightly, his lips slowly pursing into a tight line.
current state?”
Eugene gradually gathered his thoughts after hearing this remark. Frowning slightly, he replied, “LeapCo is already considering
the best solution.”
“The best solution is to marry Evelyn!” Cedric roared harshly. “She’s the Shue family’s only daughter, and Peyton is the one
supporting her. If you’re smart, hurry up and marry Evelyn!”
Cedric’s tone became more urgent, so much so that anyone who was unaware might actually think he genuinely cared about
Eugene. However, the words he spoke were harsh, and they pushed Eugene into a corner.
Eugene could not suppress the disgust in his eyes. He lowered his gaze slightly. His voice wa cold and deep as he asked, “Did
you marry my mom back then with such intentions?
Unable to contain his emotions anymore, he looked up. “So, what benefits have you gained? Did you force your childhood
sweetheart to the point of jumping off a building?
“Or do you and my mom despise each other, but you don’t dare to divorce her due to pressure from the Hel family?”
“Rotten child!” Cedric’s voice sounded. The moment the words left his mouth, a teacup flew toward Eugene. The purple clay cup
hit Eugene’s shoulder, causing him to grunt in pain. Cedric shot him an intense glare. “Is this the attitude you use to talk to me?
Or do you think you can do whatever you want with your grandfather supporting you?”
At this moment, Cedric resembled a wild beast that had its tail stepped on.
“Don’t think I don’t know what you’re thinking! But don’t forget, you agreed to my terms at the start for a reason. I advise you not
to harbor those unrealistic fantasies anymore. I can throw Melanie into prison for the rest of her life as long as I say the word!”.
