Chapter 334 The Flint Family''s Rule


    The panic on Brandon’s face made Julien curl his lips into a grin. “Mr. Madden, do you still need me


    topensate your family?"


    Brandon''s mouth opened but words came out in a dy. “No. The Madden family cannot afford to


    ept yourpensation, Mr. Flint."


    Even if he sessfully ckmailed Julien and got what he wanted, he would only make the man


    angrier. Besides, Julien might plot revenge or aeback in the dark.


    It was the modern age where information was essible with the thumb. Brandon knew his


    thoughts paled inparison to the younger generation. Should Julien make a move against him,


    he would never see iting. He could not put his entire family at risk.


    Therefore, he could not do anything at all.


    "Good, at least you know your ce. As for your two daughters, one vicious and one barely an


    adult. None of them can be shown to be public, and they''ll never be suitable for us,” Velma said as


    she rolled her eyes.


    Brandon looked at her grimly.


    Velma shivered at the grim look but his son''s presence boosted her confidence. She red back at


    him and said, "What are you looking at? Too much to handle?”


    "You philistine!" Brandon refuted with contempt. He then looked at Julien and said stiffly, "Mr. Flint,


    sorry for the interruption. Please excuse me.”


    What else could he do if not leave? He would only embarrass himself even more.


    “Take care, Mr. Madden," Julien slightly lifted his chin and answered with a cold voice.


    Brandon headed to the foyer. He looked rather hunched from the back. The confidence that he


    arrived with was gone and his dispirited look made him look older.


    It was understandable though. He did not get what he wanted and even made an enemy. Anyone


    would feel defeated from that.


    "Damn it! That old prick, how dare he call me a philistine!" Velma grumbled with her hands around


    her waist after Brandon left.


    Julien had a nce at her. ''I think Brandon is right about her.''


    He did not say anything because Velma was an elder to him.


    Julien then pulled his phone out and called Zach.


    Zach’s voice came through the phone." President Flint."


    "You don’t need to investigate who poisoned Sydney anymore. I already know who it is. Find out


    how Lyra knows about Sydney bearing my child instead,” Julien said to the phone.


    Before this, he had to tell Zach to nt an informant at Skylight to find out Sydney bore his child.


    Therefore, something must have caused Lyra to find out.


    "I got it, President Flint." Zach nodded.


    After the phone call, Julien put his phone away.


    Velma then looked at him with aplicated look. "Julien, now that Sydney is pregnant, what are


    you going to do about it?"


    "What else? We''ll take her in and let her give birth to the child.”


    Before Julien could say a word, a rather aged voice with agitation sounded.


    Julien and Velma turned to the direction of the voice and saw Old Madam Flinting into the living


    room with Felicia and Jay den’s help.


    Velma was afraid of the olddy. She bolted up and asked, "Mother, why are you here?"


    Julien stared at Jayden.


    Why? It must be Jayden snitching again.


    Jayden noticed Julien''s icy cold gaze and he shrunk in fear. "Bro, you can''t me me for this. It''s


    because Sydney being pregnant is something big, I have to let Grandma know. Besides, I know


    you''re pursuing her back, so with Grandma here, maybe you''ll have a bigger chance?"


    "What? Julien is pursuing Sydney back?" Velma blurted in a high-pitched voice. Shock was all over


    her face.


    “Yeah, Mom. You don''t know?" Jayden looked askance at her.


    He was barely at home because of hispetition and even he knew about it.


    His mother, on the other hand, did not know a thing.


    Property ? N?velDrama.Org.


    Velma shook her head. She had no idea.


    Recalling how Sydney embarrassed her a few times in the past, the shock on her face was reced


    by a grim look.


    "No! You can’t!" Velma looked at Julien in disagreement. "Julien, I disagree! You cannot get back


    together with Sydney!"


    Julien frowned.


    Old Madam Flint watched coldly as she moved her walking stick forward. "This is Julien’s matter. It’s


    not something a stepmom like you can meddle with. Don’t think I don’t know why you disagree. It''s


    because Julien and Jayden''s attitudes changed because of Sydney. You’re afraid that once she’s


    back, the boys will not obey you as much."


    Velma''s thoughts were seen through easily by her mother-inw. She flushed, stuttered, and did not


    know what to say.


    Jayden tugged his grandmother’s sleeve to ease the fire on his own mother. "Grandma, please."


    Old Madam Flint grunted and switched her attention from Velma to Julien. Her face remained as


    cold as ice. "Why didn''t you tell me about Sydney bearing your child? If it wasn''t for Jayden, are you


    going to tell me when she gave birth?"


    Julien''s lips moved. He only spewed words after a few seconds of hesitance. "I’m sorry, Grandma."


    "So, I was right?" Old Madam Flint scoffed. She then reached out to Felicia and said,'' Give it to me."


    Felica reluctantly asked, "Madam, are you sure about this?"


    Jayden and Velma were curious about what the twodies were trying to do but neither of them


    dared to ask because of the fierce look on Old Madam Flint.


    Julien, however, noticed something and he clutched his fists.


    "Of course!” Old Madam Flint stared at Julien with a stern look. "He made a mistake and I, as his


    grandmother, shall educate him. Give it to me!"


    Felicia sighed and took something out from the back.


    Jayden gasped when he had a clear look." A whip?”


    He was curious about what Felicia was holding earlier. He thought about everything except a whip.


    Velma''s face turned pale at the whip.


    Old Madam Flint had a nce at her and said, "I believe you should be familiar with this whip."


    Velma’s face turned paler as if she remembered something horrible and she even started shaking.


    Old Madam Flint tightened the whip and said, "More than a decade ago, Alexander broke the house


    rule because he wanted to marry you and he was whipped by his father. Today, my grandson,


    Julien, made the same horrible mistake and I hereby punish him with the family rules."


    "Julien, do you consent?" She looked at Julien.


    Julien looked down. "Yes, Grandma.”


    "On your knees."


    Julien knelt as ordered.


    Jay den was shocked when his brother knelt. To him, his brother had always been a superior figure


    but even he had to kneel before his grandmother.


    Old Madam Flint felt a little relieved at Julien''s obedience but it faded right away. She gripped the


    handle tightly and said," Good. I''m happy with yourpliance, but do you know what you have


    done?"


    A hint of confusion appeared in Julien''s eyes as he remained quiet.


    Old Madam Flint exhaled strongly. "It seems like you have no idea. I shall tell you then. You toyed


    with a woman''s feelings."


    As her words subsided, she raised the whip andshed it on Julien''s back.


    Julien clenched his teeth in pain. His face turned pale and sweat covered his forehead.


    Old Madam Flint did not hold back at all.


    His shirt was ripped and the whish started to bleed.


    Velma cried in shock before she passed out.


    Julien''s whish reminded her of the scene seventeen years ago, where her husband was whipped


    by her father-inw.
