Chapter 398 Ipetent Mother And Son (Part Two)


    As if he wasn''t angry enough, Jill''s crying managed to make Horace lose hisposure. Instead of


    cating him, it just fanned the me even more, to the point that he couldn''t take it anymore.


    Watching his parents as they were having an argument was nothing new to Lionel, but for the very first


    time, Horace mentioned the word ''divorce.'' Never in his life had he expected his father to say


    something so cruel to his mother, it made him feel like everything was falling apart.


    Down on his knees in front of Horace, Lionel''s eyes welled up with tears.


    "Dad! I''m so sorry, Dad! It''s all my fault. Yes, I did it! Mom had nothing to do with it. Please don''t say


    something like that. Please take it back!"


    Lionel felt a chill running down his spine. If Horace were to really get divorced to Jill, there would be


    nothing left for him, and he wouldn''t have a ce in the Tang family anymore.


    Indeed, Rufus being the head of the TY Group might be a bad thing for him, but that wasn''t necessarily


    the case for Horace.


    In the past, Horace had brought up something to Lionel about how he wished to find a capable


    businessman to invest in the Tang Group in order to help thepany acquire enough shares in the


    market in just a short period of time. Unfortunately, they had seen no progress in regards to that.


    Given that Rufus was the chairman of the TY Group, he could''ve shelled out some funds to invest in


    the Tang Group with ease. But if that happened, Lionel would end up losing whatever meager power he


    had left in the Tang family.


    At the thought of that, Lionel was forced to take desperate measures and own up to his oversights and


    somehow beg Horace for forgiveness.


    "You bloody idiot! How could you do such a thing? He''s your own brother, for goodness'' sake!"


    Horace blew a fuse the moment Lionel confessed to hispse in judgment.


    "Dad, I was backed into a corner. I was forced to do it even if I didn''t really want to. Ivy kept on


    threatening me that if I didn''t find a way toe up with the fifty million she was asking for when we


    called it quits, she would spill the dirty secrets about our family. You haven''t forgotten that a lot of our


    dealings are illegal, right? When I did that, I was only thinking of our family''s interests. Believe me, I


    didn''t have a choice!"


    Lionel abruptly broke into tears, hanging onto Horace''s thighs and crying like a child who was about to


    be abandoned on the streets.


    "And you gave her fifty million just like that?! Have you lost your mind? Just let her sue, for all I care!


    She would''ve had her legs broken before she could even think of getting to the courthouse!"


    Horace had been driven up the wall. What could he have done to deserve such a useless and


    ipetent son who couldn''t even deal with a stupid break-up, and to add insult to injury, he even got


    ckmailed into giving her fifty million!


    "Dad, I''m the one to me! I panicked when she said that, but I didn''t want to trouble you with it


    because you were sick. I knew that you''ve had several asthma attacks this year already. I couldn''t think


    of any other way toe up with the money all at once, so I thought it would be a good idea to tamper


    with the papers bearing Rufus''s signature. Things had gotten so out of hand that I got in over my head.


    I hope you can forgive me, dad!"


    Lionel was in a state of frenzy, crying out of his wits, with snot even spurting out of his nose. It was


    such a horrible and nasty sight to see. Could it be that he was truly regretting the actions he had taken?


    "Not only did you get in over your head, you were out of your mind too! You''re insane!"


    Horace pried his leg out of Lionel''s grasp, identally kicking him on his shoulder in the process.


    Lionel lost his bnce and tumbled to the ground like a pitiful dog.


    As she watched in horror, Jill''s heart was aching from what was happening before her. She rushed to


    Lionel''s aid as he fell, tears dripping all over her face.


    "Horace, Lionel only had good intentions! It was all for the sake of our family! Please find it in your


    heart to forgive him! He''s your son! When he was growing up, he had never struggled with anything. It


    was only after that wretched woman came into his life that things started going wrong. Ivy''s the


    scheming bitch who extorted our son!"


    Jill whined, regretting how she had always been so good to Ivy before. To think, she had even trusted


    her!


    All those times she thought they were getting along so well, and all of those pleasantries, every bit of it


    was just an act! No wonder Lionel couldn''t handle such a maniptive woman!


    "Dim-witted brainless idiots, the two of you!"


    Raging with anger, Horace kept shaking his head. He gritted his teeth and red at Jill and Lionel


    intensely, who both were weeping on the ground, thinking about busting their heads open to check if


    they were indeed empty.


    "Because of that stupid fifty million you stole, Rufus had been forced to leave the Tang Group. And now


    it doesn''t make any difference even if we found out that he is the head of the TY Group, because we


    have already caused him so much disgrace that there''s no way he''d evere to our aid again! The


    only thing you''ve ever really been good at is wasting my money and my valuable time! Haven''t you


    realized by now how the Tang Group has been thrown into disarray and squeezed out of the market


    because of itspetition with the Dawn Star Group?!"This content provided by N(o)velDrama].[Org.


    With his face flushed entirely red, Horace was burning with intense rage to the extent that he had


    trouble catching his breath.
