Chapter 76
“Don’t...don’t you dare lay a finger on my father and sister…” Eddie gasped as he tried to grab Frank’s by the leg so that he wouldn’t be able to leave. Frank scoffed as he kicked Eddie’s hand away with minimal effort, before stomping on it repeatedly. After he was done, Frank sneered at the young man sprawled across the ground once more before leaving.
He then hopped into his car and ordered his chauffeur to take him to Richard, who was at the clubhouse. Richard glared at Frank as he entered the clubhouse - the former was absolutely uninterested in talking to him. Frank, who used to be seemingly pleasant and easygoing, was now haughty and arrogant - he’d previously been putting up a facade just so that Richard would agree to do business with him.
“Ah, Old Harvey - it’s been a long time since we last saw each other!” Frank exclaimed in feigned cordiality, “Oh, by the way, I have some good news for you.” Frank then whipped out his mobile phone, clicked on a video, and played it in front of him.
Richard, who initially did not want to entertain Frank in any way, couldn’t help but widen his eyes in horror as he watched Eliana clad in overalls, squatting in front of and scrubbing the toilet bowl in Blanchard Garden.
He couldn’t believe that Aidan would do this to his daughter - even if he no longer had any feelings for her, he didn’t think that the latter would force his daughter to perform such lowly and menial tasks.
“Frank, just you wait - I’ll make sure that the Nelson Family pays for everything that they’ve done to our family,” Richard growled. “Are you sure about that?” Frank retorted as he cocked a brow at the former, “Because you’re wrong - you’re very, very wrong. You’re the one who’s going to pay - not me, and not anyone else in the Nelson Family.”
He then gestured for a group of men to apprehend Richard such that he was pressed against the wall - Frank then stepped forward and unzipped his pants to pee on the latter’s face. He had his phone recording the scene before him the entire time.
“What do would your daughter think if I were to show this video to her, hmm?” Frank hummed tauntingly. “Don’t you dare!” Richard gritted out angrily.
“Why wouldn’t I?” Frank scoffed haughtily, “Just look at your daughter, being so submissive and powerless, at the complete and utter mercy of Aidan...oh, by the way, just to let you know! I heard that Aidan had taken your daughter out to be bought for one night by some fat and greasy man...he praised your daughter and commented that she was extremely alluring…”
“I’m going to kill you, Frank!” Richard growled. He couldn’t tolerate anyone talking about his daughter in such a derogatory manner. Frank scoffed before kicking Richard in the stomach, “Kill me? Pretty bold coming from you, don’t you think? What can you even do to me?” Richard chuckled manically for a while before he snarled, “Richard, oh, Richard - I’m going to screw your daughter as soon as I’m done showing this video to her. Perhaps I’ll film us going at it and make you watch it after we’re done…”
“Frank Briggs, how dare you! You absolute scum!” Richard yelled angrily at Frank. He tried to hit the latter, only to be held back by some of the men. Frank merely scoffed before warning the people around them lowly, “If anyone tells Aidan about what happened today, you’re dead meat.” He then turned around and stalked off.
As soon as he’d left, Richard cried out to the men who were apprehending him, “I want you to get Aidan to come down here at once - I want to see him! I want to see him…”
Even though the men initially considered informing Aidan, they later decided that they wanted nothing to do with this matter - after all, it was none of their business. As such, they ultimately did not do anything.
…
Eliana was watering the flowers in the morning when she saw Laura carrying Evan in her arms with Aidan following closely behind in the distance. Even though the three of them looked like a picture-perfect family, Eliana knew that this was far from the truth…
Even though Eliana turned around and pretended not to see them, Laura went right straight to her - she put Evan down and exclaimed, “Oh, Ellie, what a coincidence to see you here! I just wanted to tell you that Evan has made a full recovery - everything’s alright now.”
“What makes you think that someone as ruthless and heartless as her would care?” Aidan murmured from behind.
Just as Eliana was about to say something, Evan reached out to tug at the former’s pants - she looked down to see that the little boy was holding up his Rubik’s Cube to her.
Eliana was stunned - she didn’t know what Evan was trying to tell her. The little boy proceeded to give her the Rubik’s Cube - the former couldn’t help but ask, feeling slightly confused, “Evan, are you...are you giving this to me?”
