CHASING DESTINY

CHAPTER 4

When Kristoff Marcus was about to go out to the company, Rowena received a call, after she heard what the person from the other line said, she suddenly called out to them.

"Eldest young master, something happened to the painting 'Rose' that we purchased at the auction for Mr. Wilson."

Kristoff's face becomes darker, "What happened?"

Rowena awkwardly glance at Luca, "Prior to this Mr. Park was busy, so the painting was brought back by me, however on the way....on the way I aso picked Luca, and he accidentally spilled coffee on the painting..."

When Shane heard it, he explodes on the spot. He looked at the small and frail human then growled, he almost shift on the spot. If not for the tight restrain he had in his self he'll probably had killed Luca from too much anger.

"You stupid boy, we spent tens of millions to buy that painting from the auction. Didn't you know because of your stupidity, it would have affected an important partnership between our Corporation and the Wilson Group!" f**k knowing that old Alpha, Shane knew that if they have sent that painting to them, he'll definitely think that they were disrespecting them!

Kristoff did not lose himself like Shane, but his gaze had turned cold.

"Is there a way to restore it?"

Rowena helplessly shook her head. "The first thing that I did was contact a restroation expert, and I just received a call from the other side and they told me... It can't be restored. Mr. Wilson will reach the capital tomorrow, he and his wife both love this painting, so what should we do now?"

Luca silently watched Rowena as she talked, his lips slightly curved to a secret smile. He remembered from this original body's memory that the painting was originally placed in the back of the car, and she specifically asked Luca to take it, and that cup of coffee was also bought by her, moreover it's because she suddenly stop the car that the coffee spill out.

And now this woman was saying that everything was actually his fault. Wow, what a scheming woman!

Maybe because the original Luca was young and still naive he was completely fooled by this woman.

And when the original Luca heard that Kristoff likes mature and sexy women, he purposely wore those mature and sexy shirts and pants, he's even started painting his face with make up just to appear more feminine despite being a beautiful boy. Look, in the end everyday she look like he's a cheap p********e.

This woman even told the original Luca a ridiculous superstition from the east that will help the Marcus's Family to become more successful in their business endeavors she went around and started arranging the house's decorations and in the end broke one of the family's antique vase.

Step by step, Rowena change Luca until he became the object of hatred of the entire family. Luca is still young and he's probably not that smart. He clearly does not understand that this woman is manipulating him.

However, he is Ronan Cristiano and he is not an i***t, since the beginning he already realized that Rowena is not helping him at all, instead she want him be hated by Kristoff and the rest of the Marcus family. Until eventually they would decide to drive him out of their house.

Aish. How pitiful.

Kristoff Marcus looked at the silent young man with his deep eyes filled with anger. "Luca, I will not asked what happen before but this matter you must give us a satisfactory explanation."

The old woman who remained silent till now, looked at Luca then asked in a gentle voice, "Luca that painting...are you really the one who destroyed it?"

Luca looked at the old woman then he nodded honestly, "Yes, it's me. I accidentally splashed it with coffee." Although it is not intentionally done by the original Luca, however the coffee did splashed from his hands.

The old woman sighed with disappointment, yesterday's incident had already made her grandson, Kristoff angry but as a sign of his respect to her, he still had not pursued that matter, and only wanted Luca move out of the house. But this time, It was something to do with the company. She knew that this young man might come unscathed after this. Kristoff will probably punish Luca this time and she's powerless to stop him.

This cooperation between the Marcus Corporation and the Wilson Group was not just an ordinary business negotiation but also a negotiation btween two powerful pack.

And because the Wilson couple loved Pauline's paintings, they had spent a lot of effort trying to buy the painting as a gift to the Wilson's, but now this hard-earned painting was ruined by Luca's coffee they didn't know how to make things right.

Kristoff looked at Rowena and said in a cold voice, "Let someone send the painting back here."

Rowena immediately made a call, and in less than an hour the ruined painting had been placed in front of Luca.

Kristoff's voice was much colder than before, and Shane had a hard time restraining his wolf to come out to kneel to his Alpha, even Rowena and the old woman is affected. Surprisingly, the only who was not affected is Luca. Which is shocking. Even though he is human. Shane knew that his elder brother is a very strong Alpha. Just the energy he's emitting can affect anyone but why this puny human still standing there calmly.

But Shane didn't have time to wonder when he heard his brother's cold voice.

"Now you only have two choices, one is to restore this painting back to what it is used to be, or to find another painting by Pauline."

Luca blinked his beautiful mischievous eyes. "Is there a third choice?"

Kristoff looked at him with his eyes that could chill Luca to the bone. "Or you could compensate me."

"Eldest young master, Luca did not do it intentionally anyway, and it'll be hard for Luca to find Pauline's paintings with little time we left. It took us several months to find this painting, so now where could he find another one?" Rowena stood up and continued to speak on Luca's behalf, as if she really cared even though she's anything but.

"Rowena, don't defend her anymore. If this bastard can't give us a satisfactory compensation, then he could just wait for the consequences." Shane coldly scoffed.

Rowena looked at Kristoff's cold appearance, and she secretly smiled.

Rowena is exhilarated. Finally this shameless slut will finally get out of the Marcus' family house.

To be honest, Luca do not care about their thoughts of him. If they wanted to drive him away from their house then he'll gladly do so. He was not scared by these people's charade and lightly glanced at the oil painting. But when Luca finally realized what the painting their talking about he couldn't help but chuckle..

"Actually you should thank me instead, you know..."
