It did not hurt when the laptop hit him, but it did break Erik’s last line of defense.
He howled and screamed, “That’s impossible! This was years ago. How could they have taken this video?!”
“What else is impossible!?” Brad pointed at Erik, livid with anger.
“Were you still expecting to hide such a disgraceful thing after doing it?! Even Old Master Turner has received a copy. What are you going to do now?!”
Even his wife’s complexion had turned pale. She said in a hurry, “Brad, if Old Master learns that Erik took drugs and did such a disgraceful thing, he’ll drive us out of the house for sure. Hurry up and think of a way.”
Brad roared, “Think of a way? What can I possibly come up with? I’ll suffer too, not just this idiot!”
“You know how aggressive your uncles are at fighting with me. In order to promote you to Motley Media’s chairman position, I spent so much effort, paid a huge price, and this is how you repay me?!”
Brad raised his foot and kicked Erik on the stomach. The latter screamed and fell to the ground, wailing. “I know I was wrong, Dad. Save me.”
Brad stared coldly at the wretched-looking Erik, feeling extremely disappointed.
He would rather have Erik grow a spine at this moment because that would at least show that he still had the courage to accept the consequences of his actions.
However, Brad was both furious and helpless when he saw the unbearable sight of his son, one whom he previously had high hopes for.
He was not actually going to ignore his own son, but this problem was just so big that even he found it impossible to cope.
After going through decades’ worth of life’s ups and downs, Brad had not felt so lost in such a long time. Never in a million years would he have thought that he would experience it again, and because of his own son too.
