Chapter 38: Chapter 38: She has to follow my footsteps
"I am nothing but your mistress right now. What makes you think that your father will listen to me?" Julia asked. "I don’t understand how you can be so scared of him. Aren’t you supposed to be an Alpha male? None of those Alpha male podcasts talk about being scared shitless to their father."
"T-this and that are different. Please, just help me this time. He has a weak spot for beautiful women," Pierre begged.
Julia sighed.
She finally gave in and walked towards Roger Dust while Pierre was huddled in the corner, trying his best to look invisible even though his father was still glaring at him.
Julia had faced many clients in the past, and this was no different. Hence, she stood in front of the greasy, old man, and smiled seductively, "Mr. Dust, your son, Pierre, told me that he knows nothing about Alex and Eve getting back together. They haven’t been in contact for the past two years, and Pierre had lived with Eve for the entire two years, so he must’ve known if Eve cheated on him."
Roger Dust scanned her with his eyes, looking at her from head to toe, and sneered, "Your daughter is a real piece of art. I thought she was just some stupid country bumpkin who hit it big with Alex. It turns out she is far more capable than what I thought."
Julia smiled mysteriously. She neither denied nor confirmed his accusation about Evelyn.
"My stupid son told me that you are her mother, and looking at you right now, I can confirm that he is not wrong. Your daughter is just a younger version of you," Roger commented. "So that’s where she gets her talent as a high-class hooker, huh?"
Again, Julia didn’t say a thing. She only smiled mysteriously, but if Roger looked hard enough, he would see that Julia’s lips curled up, as if she was happy with that degrading accusation Roger had thrown towards her daughter just now.
"Tell me, have you known that Alex and your daughter will get back together? Are you in their little scheme together?" Roger asked. "My son is an idiot, but you can’t fool me."
"I haven’t been in contact with my daughter for more than a decade. We are very estranged, Sir," Julia replied. "Besides, I am with your son right now. Why should I bite the hand that feeds me?"
Roger Dust hummed for a moment before he glanced at his son once again, causing Pierre to tremble on his boots, trying his best to stay cool by drinking a glass of wine.
"I heard from Pierre that Alex and Eve were dating for five years before they broke up two years ago," Julia mentioned. "I doubt that my daughter is pregnant with his baby right now."
"And what makes you doubt it? Alex is the future patriarch of this family, and I am sure he’s smart enough not to say an unnecessary lie," Roger commented.
"Because if she is already pregnant by now, that means Eve and Alex had an affair while she was still dating Pierre, and I doubt she would do that."
Roger sneered, "She has a hooker as her mother. I’m sure she will give in as long as Alex gives her enough cash."
"Well, I know she was born filthy," Julia said lightly. She also giggled as she found that statement to be entertaining. "But I can assure you that my daughter is fiercely loyal to the man she’s dating, let alone engaged. I stand by my words, Mr. Dust. My daughter wouldn’t be pregnant by now."
The way Julia was so sure about her statement made Roger doubt his own volition. He sent his son to be Evelyn’s date to spy on her, but seeing how Pierre soon developed a genuine interest in that woman and asked if they could get engaged meant that Eve truly treated Pierre with love and mercy.
Thus, Roger gave his blessing and allowed his son to be engaged with Eve, as long as he kept it a secret from the rest of the family because Roger had planned to use Eve against Alex in the future, possibly getting rid of them both and let Pierre marry a better woman instead.
Roger’s initial plan was to seize the entire Langford family fortune by eliminating Alex with his only weakness.
Unfortunately, that plan came crashing down today.
"What a waste of time," Roger murmured. "I guess my son is still good for nothing after all. Tell him to withdraw the threat. I cannot afford to offend Alex."
"I think you should allow Pierre to continue threatening Eve with the information that he stole, Sir," Julia suggested. "It will be beneficial in the long run, with the cost of your son as the scapegoat."
"And why should I do that? Pierre is still my only son, and I don’t want him to suffer."
"Suffer? Don’t worry, Sir. Even if he becomes the scapegoat, he will still live a good life, as long as this plan works."
"What plan are you talking about? I have no intention to fight against Alex. His father owns half of my company."
Julia chuckled. Her eyes darkened as she had a plan in mind. She leaned forward and slowly whispered to Roger Dust’s ear.
Roger’s face slowly turned from disdain to confusion, and at the end, he had a thin smile as he found the idea to be worth trying.
"I’m surprised that you can come up with that idea. You’re far smarter than I thought," Roger praised. "You’re certainly more capable than just becoming a useless hooker. Why don’t you do something better instead?"
Again, Julia didn’t show any sign of anger. She wasn’t all that surprised with the question either.
"I simply love my job," Julia stated. "And I’d love it if my daughter would follow in my footsteps."
Roger laughed when he heard that, "Fine, fine. You have eased up my mood with your ideas. Tell my son I am not angry anymore, but he will have to talk with me after the family function."
"Certainly, Mr. Dust."
