His Way Back to Supremacy novel Chapter 2

Just as Kaz was about to punch Lindsay, Perseus' gaze flared crimson, a beacon of his fury. He raised his leg instantly and kicked Kaz in the chest with all his might.

The force of Perseus' kick sent Kaz, a hulking mass of 220 pounds, sprawling backward. He slammed into the courtyard with a bone-jarring thud.

Bloodshot eyes blazing, Perseus thrummed with violent energy. He was more than eager to paint the town red with the hooligans' blood.

"Perseus, don't fight! Have you forgotten what happened three years ago?" Lindsay pleaded in a choked-up tone as she held Perseus back with all the strength she could spare.

It was then Perseus steadied himself on his feet before slowly unclenching his fists. He couldn't bear to watch Lindsay shed her tears because of him again. At the same time, he needed to be there to support his shattered family.

His top priority right now was to find out what on Earth happened to the Caitfords.

Also, where the heck was Rochelle? Why didn't Lindsay mention her at all?

"You got balls, punk! How dare you hit me!"

Kaz was helped up by his lackeys. Blood trickled slowly down the corner of his mouth. He hissed in pain, feeling a nauseous feeling building up whenever he breathed.

"Tell your boss that I'll pay every single cent my family has owed him. But in return, I'll take back every single thing you owe my family!" Perseus spat out, his gaze icy and sharp.

"Heh! You really are ballsy, punk! Just you wait!"

Once Kaz was done threatening Perseus, he and his lackeys fled back into their van and left the area.

"Mom, a lot has happened to our family over the past three years. Didn't Roch drop by to visit you at all? Did she not lend you a helping hand?"

Perseus finally asked that question once the unwelcome hooligans were gone.

He had been dating Rochelle since their high school days. Both of them were in a steady relationship. The reason why Perseus got imprisoned was because he defended Rochelle's chastity by hurting the pervert when they were still medical interns.

Also, Rochelle came from a well-off family as well. Her parents mainly dealt in medical equipment manufacturing and trading. For her, getting a job was another way of experiencing how life worked for the commoners. She had a monthly allowance of at least 200,000 dollars, after all.

Why didn't she help Perseus' family in their time of need?

"Perseus, Rochelle… isn't a good match for you," Lindsay averted her gaze hurriedly while stammering.

"What's wrong with her, Mom?" Perseus immediately realized that something was wrong. "Also, Dad's a pretty skilled doctor who has a prestigious reputation in this village. No matter how poor we are, we shouldn't have to resort to getting a loan from the loan sharks just to treat Vincent's illness, right?"

"We lost our clinic a long time ago, Perseus."

Upon realizing that she could no longer hide the truth, Lindsay chose to come clean with him.

"What? We lost our clinic? Why?"

The news shocked Perseus greatly. Caitford Clinic was passed down from his grandfather's generation, meaning it had existed for a century.

In a way, the clinic was the Caitfords' legacy. How could it be lost?

"Rochelle took it from us."

"Roch? Why?" Perseus widened his eyes before shaking his head in disbelief.

Lindsay explained, "About a month after your imprisonment, Rochelle visited us. She claimed she was pregnant with your child and that she wanted alimony from us.

"Your father could tell that Rochelle was pregnant. He thought about how long you two had been in a relationship, so he sold the clinic for 300,000 dollars. Then, he gave the money to Rochelle.

"We thought that our family owed her that much. After all, you being in prison was a scandalous affair."

"She was pregnant?"

Perseus raised an eyebrow at the revelation. Energy began coursing through his veins as he clenched his fists subconsciously.

He wanted nothing more than to murder people now.

The truth was that Perseus was never physically intimate with Rochelle. He respected her too much to do anything to her.

Every time they went out, he limited his displays of affection to hand-holding and kissing. Heck, he never saw Rochelle naked, so how could she be pregnant with his child?

He couldn't believe he was made a cuckold.

"Yeah." Lindsay sighed. "One year later, we went to her house to visit the baby, only to be informed that she suffered from a miscarriage…"

"Mrs. Caitford? Mrs. Caitford, are you home?" a clear voice suddenly rang out.

Perseus turned around to see a flash of green darting into the courtyard. He felt that the figure looked familiar.

"I'm inside the house, Camie. Come in."
