淑女的欲望

In Woods' living room...

Brody is kneeling on the floor with his head down, and his hands clenched into fists, angry with what has happened to him in the last few hours.

He couldn't see the face of the man who was scolding him. He could only see his feet in fright.

"You selfish son of a bitch!! After I gave you so many chances to live comfortably now, you stabbed me in the back? You did so many bad things and ruined the Wood family's reputation!?"

Several veins appeared on Old Master Wood's forehead. His chest ached every time he took a breath.

Since last night, the news about this bastard and his family business has become a hot topic of discussion on all news platforms. It was enough to keep him awake for a minute.

His mind has not rested until today. The news is getting wilder. And a few minutes ago, he got a call that his company was finished!

He has spoken to his lawyer, but the result is the same, negative! There was no way his company could get away from this problem.

Because...

Investigators have been asked by the capital authorities to conduct a thorough inspection. During that time, all the projects they obtained from bribes will be stopped – that would be equivalent to putting the company out of business.

This is giving him a headache! Because as far as he could remember, all the projects his company got were obtained through shortcuts or bribes.

Old Wood gnashed his teeth wanting to tear apart his idiot grandson. Since this stupid brat offended someone, they all had to get dragged down with him.

"Now tell me, who did you offend this time? I told you many times, never try to get in trouble with someone you can't touch! But, look now? As a result of your actions, the Wood family is over... It's done!" His dark pupils twitched, and his face flushed red as if his blood vessel had burst under the skin.

Before Brody could answer him, he heard his uncle say, "Father, please calm down... Come sit down first!"

The middle-aged man had already stood beside Old Master Wood, supported his nearly falling body, and carried the old man to sit on the sofa.

The old man snorted and walked over to the sofa. After sitting down, he sent another glare at his foolish grandson.

After trying to calm his boiling emotions, he said, "...Listen, this time, I'm not going to help you! Your crimes are gravely serious! How could you do such a dishonorable thing? You deserve to be killed. Your victims are not just one or two, but dozens!!"

Brody's body trembled at his grandfather's words. He raised his head, met his eyes, and said, "Grandpa, please help me... I promise I won't repeat my mistake again. I need the best lawyer to defend me. Grandpa, Please..." He begged in a trembling voice.

"Even the best lawyer in the universe can't help you this time!! But..." The old man paused, thinking of something.

ραпdα nᴏνa| сom Suddenly his eyes beam. They still have a way out of this trouble only if the person they offended forgives them.

The old man rubbed his beard before he said, "Who did you offend? Tell me the whole story, or you'll never get out of this. You might lose your life too..." The old man's voice was cold, making Brody flinch in surprise as Scarlett's face flashed through his mind.

It must be her, Scarlett Piers. The man who carries the gun in the hospital must be someone important. Instantly his shoulder shrunk, feeling regret for making such a move on her.

"SPEAK!! We're running out of time..." Old Master Wood snapped.

Brody knew he had no chance to hide it anymore. He told everything to his grandfather. Brody described how his mother attacked the Piers family and caused Mr. Piers to be severely wounded, he is now in a coma in the hospital. He also told his grandfather about how he sent people to arrest Scarlett. He didn't hide anything.

"You and your mother dare to do something like that!?" The middle-aged man sitting beside old master Wood finally said something. He felt outraged; Frans' son and wife were shameless.

The old master didn't say a word but motioned for his assistant standing in the corner to come closer. He whispered to him, and the assistant left the room a few minutes later.

He didn't say anything else. Even when his eldest son scolded Brody, he just let it go.

His mind was preoccupied with the immense power behind the Piers family. He still couldn't believe it was Piers. Someone must be helping them.

While waiting, he drank his tea to calm his agitated mind.

Before long...

His assistant entered the room again. He whispered something to him. The old man's face turned pale after hearing what his assistant said. Instantly he threw the teacup he was holding at Brody.

"Ouch!" A loud scream echoed throughout the room as the teacup hit Brody's head. "Grandpa?" he rubbed his head, and he could see blood on his hands. He was horrified to see his grandfather.

"You're done! Do you want to know who you offended!?" The old man asked in an angry voice.

"The man in the hospital?" Brody said.

"NO. That man is just his assistant... You're done. Our family is done." The old man was so angry that he felt his chest getting heavier.

"Father, who is that man?" asked the first son.

"The man in the hospital is Logan Lee, the personal assistant of Master Xander Riley..." Until this moment, the unstable thumping of his heart has yet to calm down. Even his breath was rushed.

"How dare an assistant have that much power to defend his girlfriend, Scarlett Piers?" Brody asked, confused.

"That's why you can never lead the Wood family. You are so stupid. If only you had investigated who Scarlett Piers was, none of this would have happened. That woman is Xander Riley's wife!"

Instantly the room became silent.
