Chapter 113
"You call this stupid, huh?" Lance scoffed. "Tell me, who’s the stupid one here, a man who is trying to break free from his crazed brother, or the said brother who goes absolutely nuts and power-hungry for no reason after her mother fell ill for years because of cancer?"
"Lance, you know Theo doesn’t mean that," Angel said while gently caressing his shoulder. "He is your brother and wants the best for you."
"Stop caressing my shoulder, you disgusting cougar." Lance brushed her hand off and got up from his chair. "And Theo is also an idiot because his nanny groomed him!"
Angel smiled when she heard that. She sighed and stepped back to distance herself. "Maybe it’s because I didn’t give you proper care when you were young, so you became hostile. You’re jealous because I’m engaged with Theodore, right?"
"What the actual fuck?! Why would I be jealous to marry a woman with sagging tits like you?!" Lance yelled. "Theodore is just too stupid to realize he has been groomed and used by you!"
Angel suddenly switched her expression to that of a hurt maiden. She walked towards Theodore and threw herself into his embrace.
Theodore was distressed to see his fiancee wiping her tears. He glared at his little brother with full hostility.
"Why are you glaring at me like that? What I said is real." Lance’s tone was sharp, each word deliberate. "You’re an idiot who got groomed by a nanny twenty years older than you," Lance dropped the brutal truth, driving his point home like a nail into a coffin.
"I will fucking destroy this company, Lance," Theo said with a low, almost whispering, vengeful voice. "You hurt my fiance."
"No, don’t do this to your brother, Theo!" Angel tried to interrupt, but she hugged him even tighter than before. "I told you we’re here to mend your relationship with Lance, right?"
"There’s nothing to fix. That bastard is beyond saving. He doesn’t even respect his older brother anymore," Theo stated.
"This is all my fault," Angel said while sobbing. "I didn’t know that Lance could be this jealous of me. I should’ve paid him more attention when he was just a kid."
