Chapter 1098
Mitch burst into a scornful guffaw as though he had just heard a cosmic joke. "You want to drive me out of Seafield?"
Lynette was irritated when she heard him laughing like this. At the same time, however, her heart did a complete somersault. A bad feeling arose within her; she couldn't help feeling that something was amiss. "W-What are you laughing at?" Her lovely baby face contorted for a while as she slapped her blanket with her free hand in exasperation. She warned loudly, "Stop laughing, Mitch! Did you hear me? I'm telling you to stop laughing!"
Mitch was still laughing without restraint on the other end of the line while ignoring her. After laughing for a while, he finally managed to stop with his eyes full of derision. "Lynette, had you said something like this before today, I'd probably still believe that you could indeed drive me out of Seafield. After all, your grandfather was President Fuller's mentor. If you wanted to sort me out, your grandfather, who always covered up for you, would definitely side with you, and even if President Fuller learned about this, he wouldn't care about a small fry like me. However, from today onward, people will laugh their heads off if you say something like that."
Lynette instantly tightened her grip on the phone as the unease within her grew. "What do you mean?"
Mitch's lips curled into a sinister and wicked smile. "What do I mean? I mean your family is finished! Haha!" he said before bursting out laughing again in schadenfreude. He was so pleased deep down that his face was flushed crimson with excitement. His eyes bulged as if they'd fall out of their sockets the next second, making him look very scary.
When Lynette heard his words on the other end of the line, she felt as though a clap of thunder had just exploded over her head. Stunned, she felt like her head was going to explode. Did he just say my family is finished? How is that possible? My family is fine, and Grandpa is still alive. Even if the members of my family aren't capable of anything, Toby will always have my family under his wing as long as Grandpa is still alive and their master-apprentice relationship still stands. My family will always be ranked among the ten most distinguished families of Seafield, so how could my family be finished?
Pulling herself together, she seethed with rage, thinking that it was sickening of Mitch to say such things on purpose to fool her. Clutching the phone tightly with both hands, she uttered between clenched teeth, "Mitch, how dare you curse my family? Just you wait; my family and I will never let you off for this!"
"I don't have to wait for that." Mitch sneered. "I'm not lying to you, Lynette. It's true that your family's gonna be finished. You still don't know about it, do you? Well, that's understandable. It's night over there, so you must have no idea what's going on in the country."
Lynette bit her lower lip while almost being overwhelmed by the unease within her. "What the hell are you trying to say?"
