“Matteo Kaur, it’s been ten years, and you’re still living in this house? You’ve been here for almost two decades, haven’t you?”
“Where’s Madeline Kaur?”
Ignatius Clark smirked as Matteo Kaur appeared, a cruel glint in his eyes.
“Ignatius, Madeline and her mother went shopping,” Matteo Kaur replied, his palms sweating as he nervously unlocked the door and invited everyone inside.
“Shopping?” Max Kaur’s face darkened with displeasure. “Matteo, the young master of the Clark family is here. Why didn’t you call them back to greet him? This is so disrespectful!”
Matteo Kaur ignored him and, after entering the main hall, forced a smile and asked, “May I ask what brings you to Niarak this time, Ignatius?”
“I’m here to give the Kaur family some money,” Ignatius Clark said casually, sitting down at the head of the table and playing with a teacup.
“Give us money?”
Both Matteo and Max were stunned.
Ignatius Clark didn’t bother beating around the bush. “I want Madeline Kaur to sleep with me.”
What?!
This statement was like a thunderclap.
Even Max Kaur was shocked.
No one expected Ignatius Clark to be so direct, immediately demanding that Madeline Kaur sleep with him.
But those familiar with Ignatius Clark’s personality knew better. He was a madman, a notorious troublemaker in Slatin.
From the incident ten years ago, when he stripped Matteo Kaur naked and publicly whipped him, it was clear how ruthless he was.
He had never cared about the Kaur family.
Ten years ago, he didn’t care, and now, with the Clark family producing a cultivation genius and becoming the top family in Slatin, Ignatius Clark cared even less about the Kaur family.
How could a noble like him care about the feelings of commoners? Even if he wanted to sleep with Matteo Kaur’s wife, Matteo would have to agree.
Yes, the Kaur family might seem somewhat wealthy, able to scrape together a few million, but in the eyes of a great family like the Clarks, they were no different from commoners.
Ignatius Clark didn’t care if Madeline Kaur was married. In his eyes, she had probably married into some minor wealthy family. Otherwise, the Kaur family wouldn’t still be living in such a shabby old house.
In Shipmeda State, no wealthy family could stand against the Clark family.
If he wanted to sleep with a woman, what minor family would dare to protest?
“No… that’s impossible!” Matteo Kaur’s eyes filled with terror as he shook his head repeatedly.
Max Kaur also panicked. “Ignatius, aren’t you married? To the daughter of the Vance family, if I recall.”
“If this gets back to the Vance family, it might not look good.”
He said this not out of concern for Madeline Kaur, but because the Kaur family was still hoping to marry her off to some wealthy family.
If her chastity was taken by Ignatius Clark, Madeline Kaur’s value would plummet.
Charlotte Kaur was already disfigured, and Madeline Kaur was the Kaur family’s last hope of climbing the social ladder.
“My master divorced Miss Vance some time ago,” one of Ignatius’s subordinates said coldly.
Max Kaur was stunned.
No wonder!
The Vance family was a powerful clan in Eahta, and Ignatius Clark had been restrained by his marriage. Now that he was free, there were no more constraints.
This troublemaker had always been a playboy, fooling around with women everywhere.
He had probably done something despicable during his marriage, which the Vance family couldn’t tolerate, leading to the divorce.
Ignatius Clark sneered, “Matteo Kaur, I’m not asking for your permission. Understand?”
“Call Madeline Kaur home now, and she can either come with me to a hotel, or we can do it in her room.”
“Otherwise, I’ll have you parade through the streets again. But this time, you won’t be alone.”
“This time, I’ll have your old man lead the way, with you and Max Kaur following behind.”
Ten years ago, Madeline Kaur was only seventeen, a budding beauty.
Back then, Ignatius Clark had been tempted, but because of his engagement to the Vance family, he had held back.
Now, she must be even more beautiful.
For ten years, he hadn’t forgotten Madeline Kaur. Just two days after his divorce, he came to Niarak.
Even if Madeline Kaur was married, he would still have her!
He craved her body too much.
Matteo Kaur’s face turned pale.
The events of ten years ago had left him with irreversible scars, both physically and mentally.
Now, Ignatius Clark was targeting him again, and this time, he wanted to drag the entire family into it.
“Ignatius Clark, are you determined to destroy me?” Matteo Kaur’s anger surged, and for some reason, he found the courage to glare at Ignatius Clark and shout.
Let his daughter sleep with this scum? Even if they killed him on the spot, he would never agree!
“Destroy you?” Ignatius Clark’s face darkened, and he said fiercely, “You saved Flynn, that bastard. The Kaur family deserves to die a hundred times over.”
“If I weren’t interested in Madeline Kaur, do you think I’d let you live this long?”
“I’ll give you five minutes to call Madeline Kaur home to serve me. Otherwise, the Kaur family will be wiped out!”
Max Kaur’s face turned deathly pale.
Ignatius Clark wasn’t making empty threats. He was fully capable of doing it!
To the Clark family, the Kaur family was nothing more than an ant!
“Matteo, look what you’ve done. If you hadn’t helped Flynn and his mother back then, the Kaur family wouldn’t be in this mess!”
“Let’s not talk about what happened ten years ago. After that bastard got out of prison, why did you take him in as a son-in-law? Now look, the Clark family is here again!” Max Kaur pointed at Matteo Kaur, shouting in rage.
“What did you say?” Ignatius Clark suddenly stood up, glaring at Max Kaur.
“That bastard didn’t die in prison? He got out?”
“Huh?” Max Kaur was stunned.
He had thought Ignatius Clark knew about this and had come to the Kaur family to humiliate them. He hadn’t expected the man to be unaware.
The Clark family had sent Flynn to Demon Island Prison and then bribed two vicious criminals who were also being sent there to kill Flynn.
It was difficult for outsiders to enter Demon Island Prison, so the Clark family had no way of knowing what happened inside.
But they were certain Flynn was dead. After all, they had paid ruthless men to do the job.
To the Clark family, Flynn was nothing more than an ant, destined to die. They hadn’t given him a second thought.
As for the series of events in Niarak, while they were major news for the locals, they were insignificant to the distant city of Slatin.
Niarak was like the countryside to them. Who would care?
Even some wealthy families in Pelens weren’t particularly interested in or informed about the recent business war.
The Clark family’s social circle determined their perspective. They didn’t care about such things.
So they had no idea about any of this.
After he learned that Flynn was still alive, a fierce killing intent flashed in Ignatius Clark’s eyes.
That bastard had lived for ten more years? And he had married Madeline Kaur?!
“No… that’s not it!” Max Kaur, seeing the murderous look in Ignatius Clark’s eyes, felt as if he had fallen into an icy abyss. He quickly explained,
“Ignatius, don’t be angry. We knew about Flynn’s relationship with the Clark family, so we made Madeline Kaur divorce him.”
“The day they divorced, we spread the news everywhere. Everyone was thrilled.”
“Now the Kaur family has completely cut ties with him!”
“Divorced?” Ignatius Clark narrowed his eyes, a cold glint in them. “Do they have any children?”
Now that he knew Flynn was alive, he wanted to destroy everything related to him.
“They never slept together. They were only married for two months before divorcing. How could they have children?” Max Kaur said with a bitter expression, regretting his loose tongue for bringing up this topic.
Protecting Flynn twice had only added to their crimes!
Today, the Kaur family was doomed.
“Never slept together? Heh…” Ignatius Clark chuckled, looking at Matteo Kaur.
“The Kaur family protected that bastard Flynn twice. By all rights, you shouldn’t live to see tomorrow.”
“The Watson family won’t let you off.”
“But I have a way to save the Kaur family. Do you want to hear it?”
