Mute Girl The Series : Rose Thorns

The flight took about one hour and a half to reach the destination which meant that William could only have his rest to that amount of time. He was groggy when Assistant Rael woke him up as to inform him that the flight had landed and there was a limo outside waiting for them.

"Where's that brat?"

"Sir Damien is at his c.o.n.d.o.minium alone. There's no sight of that woman in his house."

"Make sure that no one can get in or outside the house. Assign more guards and if that woman comes, take her to our private base and force her to spit out the information."

Assistant Rael obediently carried out the order through his phone and soon they reached the place.

Knock! Knock!

"Hey, babe... is that y... DAD! you're here..." Damien thought that it was his newest girlfriend however his expression appeared a bit awkward when he saw William at the front door as soon as he opened the door.

William ignored his son and welcomed himself on his own into the house. He briefly glanced at the surrounding to ensure that there were no unnecessary people in the house before took his seat.

"Do you wish to forever let the outsiders run your family business? How long you wanna take your break? If you persist to do things your way, I guess I've to pass down the Scorpion Group to someone else and register that person into the family." William directly gave a stern warning. With his cold tone, he sounded serious. Although Damien had done quite well handling the company before the divorce took place, William had enough with his son's playgirl attitude. He had been taking care of his son's scandals all this while. However, his son was getting braver day by day to let himself be fooled by more dangerous women.

"Dadddd..." Damien tried to plead pitifully but seeing that William didn't budge, he too turned serious.

"You can do that but Scorpion isn't solely yours. If I add up mom and granddad's shares along with mine, I'd become the largest shareholder in the company. Automatically whether I'm one of the board directors or not, I can still sack whoever I don't like." Damien slightly curved his mouth upwards when he made that statement.

In return, William glared at his son for the first time as if he wanted to eat his son alive. How dare this brat threatened him with his wife and parent in law's name! How pompous!

"Has your mother pamper you so much to the extent you dare to threaten your own father?!!! That vixen must have brainwashed your brain with her sweet talks. You've put her above your family needs. That's not what the O'Ryan has taught you."

"I should've been rewarded when I sacrifice myself to that 3 years marriage for your sake, Mr O'Ryan. Were those not enough for you? Do you want to sell your own son again for the second time? Maybe this time to the Douglas family or ....." Before Damien could finish his words, a strong force hit his face causing him to be mute momentarily at that moment.

PAK!

Today marked the first time Damien O'Ryan being slapped by his own father, William.

"I'll return this slap to you one day, Mr O'Ryan. Now, please leave my house. You've no right to be here." There was a hint of anger in his tone behind his expressionless look. With the red print on the right side of his face, Damien returned his father's fierce gaze with his soulless dark eyes.

William was fuming in anger with his face turned evidently red. He was extremely mad. What had changed his son into becoming this arrogant?

"Oh yeah... one more thing. You'd better stop investigating my woman and instead pray that I didn't tell this to your beloved wife." With that, Damien opened the door and gestured the 'guest' to leave the house.

"You've disappointed me, Damien." William walked out of the place after making his final remark. This time, he had calmed down and his voice was flat however his words clearly expressed the turmoil inside his heart. No parents would feel happy to hear the mean words coming out from their dear children. But the truth was William was more disappointed with his own self. He felt depressed that he couldn't control his emotions well just now and ended up raising his hand on his only one son. Not once he thought of that possibility despite his numerous times be mad on his son.

"Sir?" Assistant Rael who had been waiting in the hallway since the beginning of the visit approached his master when he sensed something was amiss. He thought that the visit gonna take a long time but it was the opposite. His master didn't stay in the house for more than 5 minutes.

"Uh... we're still looking into it. But so far, we've found out that she..."

"Hmm... No need... I don't want to listen to it... Tell them to stop... let's go back home."

Seeing his master's weird behaviour, Assistant Rael confirmed that something had happened inside the house. His master appeared to be solemn and exhausted as well. In the past, no matter how much his master was tired, his master successfully concealed it but not today.

Assitant Rael decided not to probe into the matter any further and followed behind his master like a loyal servant while making the arrangement for the flight back home.
