Chapter 74
Easton held Jada back. “Take it easy, Jada. This kid is just an impulsive hothead who does things without considering the consequences. Your status and family background doesn’t matter to him, and he’ll beat you up before saying anything. You shouldn’t piss him off, because you’re the one who will get the short end of the stick if he kills you!”
Jada knew that she would stand to lose a lot if she picked a fight with a brainless hothead like Severin, especially since her bodyguards and One–Eye were all still downstairs. She gritted her teeth and could only hold back her unhappiness. Text content © NôvelDrama.Org.
“What are you going to do? Don’t come near me!” When Lucy saw that Severin was staring intently at her, she was frightened by his gaze and retreated a couple of steps back.
Severin glanced at her indifferently. “Kneel and apologize to my wife!”
“Who do you think you are, telling me to kneel like that? Don’t make me laugh!” Lucy glared at Severin. “Didn’t you know Jada’s men are waiting on her instructions downstairs? Are you sure you want me to kneel? Are you even able to handle the consequences?”
“Kneel and slap yourself ten times. Even though I’m fine with letting go of what you did to me in the past, that doesn’t mean you can keep scheming against me in the future!” Severin’s face turned cold as he warned Lucy. There was a faint murderous aura on his body that sent shivers down the spine of anyone who saw him.
Lucy glared at Severin in disbelief, for it had never occurred to her that he would dare to ask her to kneel.
“Like hell I’ll kneel. I’d sooner kneel for someone else than a loser like you!” Lucy said, gritting her teeth. She knew kneeling to him would be the most humiliating thing she would have ever done.
Diane frowned. She initially wanted to persuade Severin, but when she recalled that all those people were hiding in that room with some nefarious plan, she was also a little traumatized by them and decided to let Severin have his way.
A loud thud was heard, and Lucy was seen kneeling on the ground. Invisible energy burst forth from Severin’s body, and Lucy’s knees struck the ground after her legs weakened from the strong and sudden pressure bearing down on her body.
“Hehe, you say you won’t kneel, but your actions don’t seem to reflect what you just said!” The corners of Severin’s mouth curled up a bit, and his black pupils looked that much more enigmatic.
Diane did not know what was going on, only that the pressure on her body earlier was so strong. that she knelt unconsciously. However, she did not know how to describe what she had just experienced, and it was likely that no one would believe her even if she told them.
“The grudges I’m holding against you only get bigger if you keep pulling all these shenanigans!” Severin smiled faintly and finally turned to look at Easton, who was standing on one side.
Easton was terrified to see Severin’s glare, and he immediately broke out in a cold sweat before
retreating to a corner.
“W–what do think you’re doing?” His broken finger served as a reminder that Severin acted without
caring about the consequences.
Severin smiled in contempt when he saw the other person’s look. “Look at you, nearly pissing your pants. You probably never stopped to think that you’d one day be so scared of me when you were threatening my parents and collecting debt from them. Trash like you aren’t fit to go up against me.”
After finishing his sentence, Severin snapped and sent a stream of light flying right into Easton’s body. The light disappeared in a flash, and everything happened so quickly that no one seemed to notice it.
Severin walked up to Diane after completing that action.
“Come on, honey! Let’s go home!” He looked at Diane’s swollen ankle, lifted her in a bridal carry,
and walked down.
