Chapter 68: Chapter 68: Pierre and his Alpha Dad
"D-dad, I-I don’t think I should leak any more of the documents in the future. I’m so scared..." Pierre whined on a phone call with his father. He had been holed up inside his room since yesterday.
Pierre had released one of the confidential documents that he stole from Eve’s agency yesterday following his father’s order, and was so frightened that his cousin would come to hunt him down.
Alex had a lot of influence, and knowing him, it wouldn’t take long for Alex to find Pierre if he wanted to. He was so scared that he became jumpy, like an insect that would jump out if threatened.
"What are you saying, Pierre? Aren’t you the one who said you want to help? I thought you wanted to make me proud," Roger rebuked on the phone. "Why are you so scared anyway? Alex is still your cousin, he’s no better than you."
"T-that’s easy for you to say. But you know that Alex is so scary. Don’t you remember how he ruined Elvin’s company just because Elvin accidentally insulted him at a family function?" Pierre mentioned the distant cousin who got his life ruined over a bad joke.
"Elvin is just a distant cousin, not a direct family member like you are. Don’t think too lowly of your status, Pierre," Roger said. "Besides, you’re just fine now, right? Alex still hasn’t tried to find you. He’s probably scared because you’ve shown that you’re a true man!"
"Y-you think so?" Pierre asked innocently. "Is he actually scared of me? Is that why he doesn’t try to hunt me down?"
"Of course! That’s why you need to continue showing your fangs, so he will give you some respect!" Roger encouraged his son even more. He knew doing that would only harm Pierre in the long run, but if Alex decided to hunt him down, Roger could just send him overseas to hide somewhere remote. "You should continue as I planned. Release a new one in three days, understand?"
"Yes, Dad..." Pierre replied weakly.
Pierre had always idolized his father, who seemed fearless even when facing great adversity. So he simply obeyed his order, hoping that he’d get his father’s approval and also his love.
Once he was done with the phone call, the door was opened from outside, and Julia walked in with a bowl of fruits for breakfast.
Julia sighed seeing the big boy hiding in his room since yesterday. She knew that she had to accompany him for now, since all of Pierre and Roger’s activities would eventually put her daughter in desperation, and she’d ended up in a strip club, just like her back then.
To achieve that, she had to be extra patient dealing with Pierre, because truthfully, Julia had never seen a man this pathetic in her life before Pierre.
Julia put the fruits on the drawer next to the bed and gently coaxed, "You need to eat something, Pierre. You have barely eaten anything since yesterday."
"I’m not in the mood," Pierre refused dejectedly. "You don’t understand how scary this situation is, Julia. Alex is ruthless."
"You have your father’s protection. If he is fine, then you’re fine," Julia rolled her eyes. "Besides, there is no point crying over spilled milk. You’ve leaked the document according to your father’s order. All you can do right now is to wait and see."
"I guess so..." Pierre muttered. He glanced at the fruit bowl and complained, "Tsk, why are you giving me fruits for breakfast? You’re just like Eve. She always gave me coffee and a bunch of sweet fruits for breakfast. Even though I keep telling her I hate coffee and fruits in general."
Julia’s lips twitched, "I just care about your health. Since you haven’t eaten anything since yesterday, fruits will be a good appetizer before you eat something bigger."
"Then give me donuts at least!"
...
Julia brought the bowl out and went to the kitchen to get some donuts from the fridge and reheat it. She ate the fruits in the bowl and wondered, "That little girl has become a woman with a taste of luxury, huh? I didn’t know that eating fruits every day for breakfast was on her list of dreams. Since she grew up barely eating fruits."
Julia raised Eve in a very difficult household. She never ate breakfast, and barely had enough to eat once per day, since Julia spent most of it getting drugs for herself.
It was probably the reason why Eve was so petite since she was malnourished until she was old enough for a part-time job.
Eating fruits was a luxury that Evelyn never had.
Julia smiled as she imagined her daughter living a good life, "What a good girl. You’ve blossomed into such a capable woman. It’s too bad because I’m going to clip your wings. It’s only fair if you end up just like me."
Julia stared at the fruit bowl and her smile turned into a malicious grin, "That man, Alexander Langford, I am sure that he’s just like that old bastard who promised to marry me as long as I give birth to you. Just wait and see, Evelyn, he’ll disappear as soon as you give birth to that baby in your belly."
"And when that time comes... I will be the one sending you to that brothel."

Alex parked his car in front of the Langford Diamond main office building, one of the biggest private banks in the country. He breezed through the lobby with some people bowing as he passed them. Everyone in the main building knew that Alexander Langford would be the next heir of this private bank and many other businesses under the Langfords.
He came here from time to time to supervise, but today, he came because he was summoned by his father, who was none too pleased knowing that he spent ten million dollars just to settle the financial damage caused by the leak.
It was a small amount, mostly because the Honor Company was scared of offending the Langfords, but it still put a frown on Hugh’s face.
