Ice and Fire novel Chapter 817

In anger, Lawrence thundered dropping his wine on the ground. The sound of broken glass drew the attention of the two men in black, who were standing guard outside. Promptly, they pushed the door open and stormed into the private room.

He glared at the middle-aged man, wishing him dead.

"No one can dare to lay a hand on my family and get away with it. I should have let you pay the price for your mistakes years ago," Lawrence began brusquely. If Violet had filled him in on this back then, he wouldn't have figured it out only before he returned from abroad.

With a scornful eye, Mike looked down at the anxious man. "You should feel lucky that you have lived so long," he sneered.

Then turning to the two men in black, he coldly ordered, "Take him away from here."

Promptly, the men grabbed and dragged the middle-aged man out.

Sounding panic-stricken, the man desperately pleaded, "Mr. Lawrence, please forgive me. It's all my fault. I confess. Please let me go. Please."

Unmoved at heart, Lawrence didn't even pay the slightest attention to the man's imploring words. He was mad at what his sister had suffered.

The room fell silent again. Greg sat on the couch, staring blankly ahead. He was in a mess.

Looking blankly ahead, Lawrence asked, "Do you think we are in urgent need of money, Greg? A hundred million dollars means nothing to me. I can even give you ten billion." he added disdainfully.

Shaking his head, Greg replied, "I know she didn't lack of money. But I didn't expect that Aunt would have treated Violet like that." He looked utterly downcast.

"Didn't you know that Sharon disliked Violet?' asked Mike, keenly following.

"I knew. Every time she gave Violet a hard time, I would come to Violet's rescue and snap at her," replied Greg, keeping his gaze on Mike.

"Why would Violet escape to Hong Kong? From what I've heard, Sharon didn't know Violet is from a wealthy family. Unimpressed with your choice of a wife, Sharon looked down on Violet, wishing you could marry from the aristocracy. It's a weird obsession Sharon has with class. Isn't it?" Mike asked with a sneer.

An urge hit Greg to retort, but then he immediately realized there was truth in what Mike had said. So he simply ignored the question and kept quiet.
