"I'm warning you, The Breeze Pagoda is a major protected heritage site. If you dare damage it, you will rot in prison! I suggest you think very carefully!"
Hearing the escalating tension in her voice only made Sean feel more smug. "Aww, my dear daughter. I've been back for so long, and I'm finally feeling a little bit of concern from you."
"Your old man has no money, no power, and a mountain of debt. Honestly, getting locked up might be the best thing for me. At least I'd have a roof over my head and three meals a day. Wouldn't you agree?"
"If you ask me, burning this ugly thing down would be doing everyone a favor. We could just build a brand-new one."
His lazy, drawling tone was the exact sound of a shameless, lowlife thug.
Scarlett's blood boiled, searing anger surging in her chest.
She could not fathom how her biological father could be this utterly despicable and shameless.
Seeing Scarlett pushed to the absolute brink, Julian quickly took the phone from her hand and spoke calmly. "Mr. Bishop, it's Julian Croft. Scarlett's husband."
"Name your conditions, but I strongly advise you not to do anything rash."
"How about this? You wait for us at the pagoda. Scarlett and I will head over there right now. What do you say?"
This was the exact response Sean had been waiting for all night.
