Chapter 297: Cutting Ties
The sound of glass breaking caught the attention of Miguel and Vladimir. They turned to the source of the sound only to see Athena standing by the entrance door.
A light gleam flashed through Vladimir’s eyes the moment he spotted Athena. Without further ado, he strode toward her, grabbing her hand.
"Athena is now my girlfriend. She is the only woman I will marry!" Vladimir made a bold declaration in front of his father. He intertwined their hands, showing them to Miguel/
Miguel’s expression turned ashen. He clenched his fists, narrowing his eyes on Vladimir.
"Are you trying to defy me, Vladimir Ivankov?" Miguel roared, veins bulging in his rage.
Athena flinched at Miguel’s words. She instinctively moved closer to Vladimir. In response, he held her hand tightly, reassuring her.
"Stop this nonsense, Vladimir." Miguel shot Vladimir a warning glare.
Vladimir just sneered at his father. "All this time I’ve never disobeyed you. But Father, this time I want you to respect my decision. You can’t control my life forever. And I’m old enough to choose the woman I will marry."
The father and son were still arguing when Lanny arrived. She immediately ran to her father’s side, wondering what was going on.
"Father, what’s going on here?" Lanny asked.
But Miguel just ignored her. His gaze was fixed on Vladimir.
"Fine. I will make you choose. If you choose her, I will strip you of your right to succession. I will disown you as my son. Can you live with that, Vladimir? Everything you have right now is mine—your power, your wealth. Without me and the Ivankov Clan, you are nothing." Miguel started to threaten Vladimir.
