Chapter 31: You Useless Thing
1152 Words
"Shameless!" Geneva prepared for another merciless buffet towards the man's face. Her move was quick and precise but the man was quicker than her. Before her slap could touch even his skin, he sternly seized her wrist. Geneva was upset. "Let go!"
Chen Lei smirked. "Woman, don't try to push your luck. Ever since I can remember, no one had dared to oppose me verbally let alone hurting me physically. You're the first. But it doesn't mean I will just forget it. You have to pay for this." He pointed to his face. "Five million."
"What?" Geneva and Allen exclaimed at the same time.
"Is that really a p*****t?" Geneva laughed desperately. "You're clearly trying to rob me! President Chen, it's as clear as the day that you're purposely making things hard for me. Why? I don't think I deserve this. President Chen, you are such a respectable figure but how can you bully a weak woman like me. Are you still a man?... I said let go of me!"
Chen Lei refused to let go of her wrist. The two of them were tugging her arm like they were playing a tug of war. "You're doubting my sexuality?"
"You know what I am trying to say. Now your filthy hands off me!" Geneva forcefully pulled her hand off only to make him tighten his hold.
"Very well." Chen Lei nodded. "It never occured to me that a woman like you would doubt my sexuality. Now, I will prove to you if I am really a man or not."
"What are you going to do?" Geneva was startled.
"Uncle, stop harassing her! Damn it!" Allen came in between them only to halt as he received a real spine-chilling threatening stare from his devil uncle. His feet rooted on the floor and his flesh trembled voluntarily.
Chen Lei abruptly pulled Geneva into his embrace. With one hand wrapping around her tiny waist, he claimed her lips ruthlessly.
"Uncle, stop that!" Allen shouted as he retrieved his senses upon seeing him about to kiss the woman. In frustration and anger, he prepared himself to punch the other man but when his mad fist was about to catch up on the devil's face, Kath Divaz popped up in the doorway, gasping as she looked so troubled.
"Young Master, Second Young Master, something is bad!" Kath Divaz directly roared in tears.
Allen froze midway, looking so fierce as he diverted his attention to the maid. "It's you again? What are you doing here?"
"Second Young Master, the Little Young Master is, he- he is—"
"Damn it! Why can't you speak so clearly? What about him now? Don't tell me he is running off again?"
"No. He- he is…"
"You useless thing!" Allen shouted. Passing through each of them, he hurried the study room out.
Kath Divaz followed behind him right away.
While Chen Lei was distracted by the sudden appearance of the maid, Geneva stepped on the man's shoes with her heel.
"Urgh! s**t! You damn woman!" Chen Lei groaned as he cursed her and let go of her. He hopped as he held his foot.
"You deserve that! Rascal!" With that said, Geneva stormed out the house, following Allen into the little kid's room upstairs.
Geneva initially thought of leaving the Bluebird Garden as soon as possible because of the devil. But the sudden ruckus of the kid worried her a lot. From the short time that the kid stayed at Geneva's side, she discovered that the kid was emotionally unstable. He was insecure and had no sense of safety which was supposed to be impossible.
Leaving everything to God, Geneva hurried upstairs only to find that the kid was locking himself up inside his room while destroying objects and shouting. The only sound that came out from his mouth was the sound 'Ahhhh'.
"What's wrong with him?" Geneva asked right as she arrived.
"He is breaking everything in his room. I can't persuade him to stop." Kath Divaz said as she sobbed.
"Weren't you with him?" Allen asked, gloomy. "How did he end up locking himsel?"
"I can't persuade him to stop. I was so worried that he would hurt himself so I called all of you. When we came back, it's like this already. I'm sorry."
Geneva glanced at the man who followed all the way. But he now returned to being cold and aloof. "You're the father. Why don't you talk to your son?"
"Nevermind! He can't do anything. He is only good at business and dealing with other people. When it comes to his own son, he is nothing but useless." Allen interjected as he gave the man an eye roll.
Chen Lei didn't refute or be enraged with his nephew's sarcastic remark. What he did was only lean on the wall, crossing his legs and arms as he watched them fretting over the kid's actions. As if whatever happened inside has nothing to do with him.
Geneva laughed. "Oh right! Why would I count on a man like you?"
"What's wrong with me?" Chen Lei spoke up, voice deep and sexy, and unbothered. "Why need me if you're here? Do you still want to quit?"
Geneva gritted her teeth. "I'm too lazy to talk with you. I think you just get lost."
While the two kept bickering to each other, Allen was also trying his best to coax the kid endlessly. "Little Love, please open the door. If you want something, just tell us. We will do everything for you. Just don't lock yourself inside. That's scary!"
Allen paused and took a deep breath. Then continued knocking on the door. "Little Love, this is brother Allen, open the door. I beg you. Let's talk things through alright? Little Love, just tell us what you want. Don't lock yourself inside. We are all worried for you. Don't scare us alright?"
"What exactly happened to him?" Geneva asked the nanny. "Weren't he just fine earlier?"
"That is– he–"
"Damn! Why can't you speak properly? Why don't you just cut your tongue off?" Allen shouted to the maid. "We have been asking you what happened. Instead of answering us, you keep stuttering. What is the difference between you and the mute?"
"I–" Kath Divaz lowered her head, sobbing silently as she clutched her clothes on her sides.
"Speak!" Allen shouted once more and she flinched in surprise.
Kath Divaz glanced at Geneva and lowered her head again.
"Is it because of me?" Geneva asked.
"I'm sorry Miss. The little Young Master was worried about you and so he checked on you in his father's room. And he accidentally heard that you are—"
"I'm quitting " Geneva cutt in.
"Yes. I'm sorry."
Geneva closed her eyes as she tapped her forehead. Taking a deep breath, she spoke calmly, "Enough Allen. Let me talk to him."
