Chapter 112 Under The Mask


    Rufus'' POV:


    Richard and my father''s arrival calmed me down a little bit. I was able to suppress the madness in


    my mind. The she-wolf I was strangling looked ferocious now. She kept struggling like a fish taken


    out of the water.


    Although I was still furious, the remaining trace of sanity in me made me let go of her.


    She fell to the floor, gasping for air. She looked so embarrassed and ugly.


    Obviously, she was terrified. She kept sobbing. I looked at her coldly and reached out to take off her


    mask. I wanted to see who on earth was bold enough to pretend to be Sylvia.


    The she-wolf seemed to be shocked by what I did. She screamed, shook off my hand, and ran


    away.


    She seemed afraid that I would recognize her. Was she someone I knew? I pulled a long face. The


    coldness in my heart deepened. I was about to chase after her, but Richard stopped me.


    "Rufus, just forget about it." He stood in front of me leisurely with a gloating smile on his face. "Mom


    has been shocked by what happened."


    As he spoke, he nced at my mother, who was surrounded by the servants and guards.


    My mother pulled her fox fur shawl and nced at Richard and me coldly. But she didn''t say


    anything.


    "Get out of my way. I''m in a bad mood right now, so don''t mess with me." I pushed Richard away


    impatiently.


    But he was still blocking my way with no intention of stepping back. "Rufus, today is your birthday.


    It''s not good to make a bloody scene." "Mind your own business. You have no right to interfere in


    my affairs." I snorted coldly. Richard''s hypocritical style had never changed since he was a child.


    He was embarrassed by me, so he no longer pretended to be nice in front of the guests. He


    sneered, "Rufus, shouldn''t you pay more attention to maintaining the dignity of the royal family?


    Don''t put the entire royal family on a negativebel because of your own cruelty."


    "Oh, really?" I chuckled, walked two steps forward, and whispered in his ear, "Then you shouldn''t


    mind me revealing the things you have done, right?"


    Then I took a step back and said in a voice that everyone could hear, "I think everyone will be


    interested in those things."

    After saying this, I took a few more steps back. I saw that the expression on his face drastically


    changed, and his lips trembled.


    For the werewolf race, strength was of paramount importance. Richard only knew how to y dirty


    tricks in secret, so I never took him seriously. I knew that he had been sending people to


    assassinate me. But I never said a word about it because I didn''t want to make things difficult for


    our father. After all, Richard was the only possible healthy heir for him.


    "What are you talking about?" Richard gave me a venomous nce. Shamed into anger, he


    grabbed my tie with one hand and balled his other hand into a fist, intending to punch me.


    When the guests saw that a fight was about to break out, they all screamed, turning the whole


    scene into chaos.


    I caught his fist and twisted his hand. As soon as I heard a crack, I knew that his joints were


    dislocated.


    "Fuck you! How can you really hurt me?" Richard eximed in disbelief. He didn''t seem to expect


    that I could be merciless even when our father was right there.


    "I warned you, but you still insisted oning to me," I said coldly. Then I kicked his ass away. He


    covered his wrist with the other hand and staggered forward.


    "Rufus! Do you still respect me as your father?" my father roared angrily. He immediately stood in


    front of Richard to protect him. He looked at me with sharp eyes and asked, "What the hell are you


    trying to do?"


    Then he walked to me and added, "Is it the curse again?" His voice was very low. It was as if he


    was afraid that others would hear him.


    I didn''t answer. I just stood at the side indifferently, feeling annoyed.


    My father got even angrier. "I am talking to you, Rufus!"


    He was so angry and anxious that he covered his mouth and nose with a handkerchief and


    coughed violently. His body was slightly trembling. When I looked at him, my heart softened for a


    moment.


    "Don''t be angry. The doctor said that you can''t be stressed out anymore." My mother hurriedly


    walked to his side and gently patted him on the back. "Besides, Rufus is just defending himself." My


    father shook off my mother''s hand rudely. He then turned around and stared at me with his


    bloodshot eyes. "He almost cripples Richard''s hand, and you say he is only defending himself?" I


    saw the disappointment and defensiveness in his eyes. He seemed to be afraid that I would hurt his


    only normal son. I was so disappointed that I just turned my head away without saying anything


    more. At this moment, I saw Maya suddenly appear at the door of the hall. She looked very anxious


    and seemed to have something to say to me.


    I directly left, ignoring everyone present.
