After that, he glared at her and left.
Lisa clutched the side of her face that had been slapped swollen with pure hatred radiating from her eyes.
“Adam Seet, don’t you think for a second that I’ll forget everything you’ve done. I won’t stop until you’ve learned your lesson, *sshole. I’m not like your ex——I don’t forgive.”
As Adam and Lisa started plotting against each other, Ryan’s side of things wasn’t going too well, either.
All the projects that Ryan was in charge of were starting to go awry. He was suspecting Adam of messing with things, so he found a way to tattle on him to Russell.
“Dad, Adam’s totally out of line. He’s been completely bewitched by that mistress and has been arguing with Lisa nonstop. He also keeps messing with the company and my projects. He’s already rotten down to the very core. You have to talk to him.”
Russell sighed. “Neither of you are mature enough yet. The Seet Group is truly going to crumble in your hands.”
“You’re right, Dad. Both Davin and Adam have been seduced by witches. I’m not like them. I haven’t been polluted, which is why I think you should consider me to be the next president of the Seet Group.”
Ryan tooted his own horn with an amusing amount of self-assurance.
Russell shot a cold glare in Ryan’s direction.
“Is that so? How exactly have you been managing to keep yourself unpolluted?”
“I… Well-” I have to come up with something convincing.
Russell slammed his walking stick onto the floor at the sight of Ryan’s sudden loss for words. “I know exactly what every single one of you is up to! How dare you call yourself unpolluted? Bullsh*t!”
Ryan fell silent again. Not only did he fail in telling on his brothers, but he was scolded, too. He deflated like a popped balloon and dragged his feet as he left.
Russell sat in silent sorrow as he watched Ryan walk away.
Without Evan, their family had started falling to pieces.
Everyone was so power-hungry, and Davin simply didn’t have the iron fist he needed to control them.
On the other hand, his eldest son, Jonathan, certainly had the right values. However, he was in no way cunning enough to keep all the others at bay.
