Richard had to do it. He needed to stop Adrian’s access to sponsoring more nonsense on social media. Won’t there be an end to this scandalous post that keeps popping up?
And since he doesn’t have access to his financial account to do so, he had to use a court order to achieve it. Now, he would come back to him for a discussion, and they would sort it out.
After he heard what Patrick said hours ago, he now fully agreed that the entire Lester family has a problem of temper. When they are furious, they could do the worst but might regret it, but at that moment, they would damn the consequences.
He had just been notified about the court summons from the Blakes family when Adrian arrived. A displeased father, coming face to face with a furious son, there’s definitely going to be an explosion, and yes, there will be.
In Luna’s mansion, she turned to Patrick, made him face her and asked “Tell me the truth, this fury of yours, was it about you or you’re concerned about Aurora?”
She had heard it repeatedly that Patrick kept saying Adrian couldn’t even protect the image of the woman he claimed he now loves. Showcasing such filth about her, only shows his irresponsible attitude.
“It’s not about me, Mom, it’s about Aurora. She shouldn’t encounter such from Adrian again. How can he spread such news and feel satisfied about it?
I felt like suffocating him earlier today but I held back so that I wouldn’t become a jail mate with his treacherous mother. Such evil mother and son…” Patrick replied.
“I feel you are weeping more than the bereaved. Why do you feel injured and wounded more than the one jabbed with the dagger? You even got into a fight with Adrian?” Luna cautioned.
“Aurora is not someone I will watch being maltreated. I will stand up for her defence” Patrick stuttered. He’d done it before, it’s no big deal, if he did it again.
“Hmmm, what about her brother, friend, partner or lover? Tell me, are you dating her now?” Luna asked and Patrick seemed to reason something.
“No, we’re not dating,” Patrick replied. As much as he wishes, he couldn’t make her his woman, he cannot. They’re not dating and they would never go that extreme in their relationship.
“You’re acting like a jealous lover boy. Even if you are not dating Aurora, are you in love with her and you cannot express it because of her past with Adrian?” Luna asked.
Patrick went mute.
In Lester mansion, Adrian walked in, he removed his suit, and flinged it on the sofa as he confronted his dad “What did you do to my finances?” He demanded, not saying hi to anyone, not even to grandfather Lester that was seated.
“What does it seem to you that I did?” Richard demanded. The more he tried to take care of the mess he’d created, there were many more, sprouting up, making things difficult and complicated for him.
“You placed my finances on restrictions. Why?” Adrian bellowed. What the heck is going on? What’s this supposed to mean?
“Yes I did. And right now, I just realised that beyond placing your finances on restrictions, I’m going to place you on suspension from the company as well. You’re creating too much mess for this family” Richard declared.
“I don’t care about some stupid nostril company of yours. But lift up the restriction on my finances. You have no right to do that to me. I’m a grown man and you cannot treat me like a minor” Adrian seethed.
If his mom were there, like in the past, she would stand up for him. She often intervenes in times like this and he would get away with whatever he wants. But now, he has to stand up for himself all alone.
“No matter how grown up you are, you are still a child to me. And I will do it at my convenience. You think you can ruin the reputation of this family?
Aren’t you ashamed of yourself? You could go to this extent to destroy your own wife, the mother of your daughter just because you are divorced with her?” Richard scowled.
Why is this son more of Anna in his attitude? Without thinking twice, they do things to hurt people without putting themselves in their shoes. What the heck!
“Listen both of you…” Grandfather Lester was saying when Richard interrupted him.
“I cannot tolerate any form of Anna surfacing in my life anymore. Every scandal that almost ruined this family comes from either Anna or her uncultured son here.
Was I jinxed to experience this fate from those that were supposed to be the closest to me? The Blake’s family have summoned this idiot to court by tomorrow morning because he refused to apologise to Aurora their daughter.
Anna had caused so much damage that now, I can’t even be with my eldest son. I am trapped to be with this idiot and all he brings to me, like his mother, has only been shame and scandal..” Richard bellowed.
“You always find convenient reasons to blame my mom for every negative thing happening in your life. Why don’t you blame her for the cock that crows and every cat that meows?
Keep my mother out of this. And yes, I am not apologising to the Blakes and there’s nothing anyone can do about it. You suddenly saw everything evil wrong with my mother after your ex returned.
Why didn’t you see all her faults before Luna stepped out of jail? Why didn’t you feel trapped with me before you realised that Patrick was your son. Why now, why not then?
I think you should just open up and make a public confession that the one you truly love is Luna and invariably her son. A man loves the son or daughter of the woman he loves the most.
I don’t care about your love for my mom, because it was never real. She was just there to keep your bed when Luna was not available. I don’t care if your eldest son intrigues you more than anything else in this life.
I wouldn’t be surprised if you bring that mistress of yours to my mom’s bed to get her fucked, after all…” Adrian was fuming out grevious words when Richard slapped him hard across the face.
“How dare you disrespect me like that? The greatest mistake I ever made in my life was making love to that treacherous mother of yours, ever getting her pregnant with an idiot like you.
And I won’t be missing words if I describe you as my greatest mistake. Anna was a mistake and you are invariably one as well.
You were never supposed to have been born!” Richard scowled and then paused, seeing the pale looks on Adrian.
“Enough Richard!” Grandfather Lester bellowed, his complexion turned pale and ashen. This has gone beyond mere arguments. These are words that would go many years in Adrian’s heart.
No amount of apology can wipe the memories of it off him!
