Chapter 4: Seduced My Uncle
Layla's eyes widened in shock the moment Lucius did that. How could he do such a thing before his father and sister-in-law? Did he not fear anyone?
Ah, well, Lucius had no fear. He would scare others.
Roderick almost lost his balance, yelling at his uncle to stop that.
"Your son hasn't been disciplined in a long time, Fiona. As an ideal mother, you should teach him some manners. He can't talk back with me," Lucius said while smirking.
"Father, tell Lucius to stop. Is this the way he should treat the heir of this family?" Fiona urged her father-in-law.
"Lucius, you should stop. You can't act like a child before your wife," Alekis finally intervened, but Lucius didn't let go of Roderick's neck. His gaze was on Layla as if he wanted her silent confirmation.
When their eyes met, he got the response and he let go of Roderick's neck. Fiona rushed to her son, patting his back while yelling at Lucius to treat her son like that.
"Father, you should at least scold him. He always treats us like that," Fiona complained.
"Are we going to create a drama before our daughter-in-law? What will she think about all of us!?" Alekis raised his voice and beamed at Lucius. But as usual, Lucius was unperturbed by that.
Layla, on the other hand, kept staring at Lucius in disbelief. He did what she couldn't. A rush of happiness ran through her heart. He did what she couldn't do after knowing how Roderick cheated on her with Orabela.
"Fiona, that was the love I showed towards my dear nephew. You need not to take it to your heart," Lucius said with a solemn expression. "Everyone is aware of my anger too. I just kill those who annoy me," he muttered.
