I, the Villain, Want to Save Myself, But the Yandere Heroines Disagree
Chapter 35 - The True Enemy (3/3)

Earlier, when confiscating the Lison Trading Company’s assets, he was a step too late, allowing the Lison Trading Company to withdraw its capital from the Napoli Duchy in advance. The losses he inflicted on the Lison Trading Company were only superficial.

Now he wanted to use Lawrence to break one of the Lison Trading Company’s legs, but instead, one of his ally’s legs was broken.

The only thing to be grateful for now was that this loss was borne solely by the Silver Moon Trading Company.

At this moment, Giovanni suddenly remembered something, then looked at the butler beside him.

“Where’s Donny? Where did that fellow go?”

“Reporting to Master, Young Master Donny went to meet some female companions privately today.” The butler used a more subtle way of speaking to tell Giovanni what Donny had gone to do.

Hearing that his son was so unpromising, and was still messing around outside at a time like this, Giovanni almost couldn’t catch his breath.

“Butler, find Donny for me. I want to see him within an hour.”

“Alright,” the butler agreed, then quickly left the Duke’s mansion and headed to the pleasure spots Donny frequently visited.

Half an hour later, looking at Donny, who wasn’t fully dressed and had some kiss marks on his face and neck, the first thing Giovanni did was walk up and slap Donny.

Seeing this, Donny naturally did not dare to resist. Instead, he lowered his head and asked timidly, “Father, you have returned, and I did not greet you. It is my negligence. You were right to hit me.”

“That’s not the issue,” Giovanni shook his head. “Donny, you are my son, and my only son. Although I informed you that I would be returning today, look at what you are doing!”

“I don’t demand that you be as outstanding as Orson, but can’t you even be as honest, responsible, and capable of managing a household like Litte?!” Giovanni’s tone was full of the frustration of a parent wishing his son would be better.

“How can I possibly feel confident entrusting the family’s affairs to you in the future looking at you like this!?” Giovanni said this, and then continued with an angry remark, “If it really comes to it, I will also learn from others like Lucius and adopt a capable child and give the power to him.”

“I’m sorry, Father. It is my fault. Please don’t be angry!” Donny was startled upon hearing Giovanni say this, and quickly lowered his head to apologize.

He could tell that his father was truly angry. Otherwise, he, who valued blood ties, would absolutely never say such a thing.

“I hope you won’t disappoint me again in the future.” Giovanni said this, his anger having subsided somewhat. Then he asked, “These past few days, nothing major has happened in the duchy, has it?”

“Reporting to Father, everything in the duchy is proceeding as planned. There have been no unexpected incidents.”

“That’s good,” Giovanni nodded with satisfaction. “However, the lack of unexpected incidents is not a reason for you to be so unrestrained. After returning this time, I will forbid you from going to such places for a month. This month, you will stay by my side and properly learn how to rule such a large territory.”

“Alright,” Donny heard that he wouldn’t be able to seek pleasure for a month. Although he was very unhappy internally, he could only agree to his father’s words on the surface.

...

On the other side, Saint Roland City, Silver Moon Trading Company Headquarters.

“Lawrence, is this the result you are presenting to me?” Louis, the president of the Silver Moon Trading Company, sat in his office, looking at his second son, Lawrence, his tone carrying a hint of dissatisfaction.

“I’m sorry, Father.” Lawrence at this moment had only three words he could say. He lowered his head, and could only pray that the blood relationship between father and son would lessen his punishment.

“I have been training you as my successor, but look at you...” Louis said this, sighing. “Although I can also understand, after all, Duke Aragon personally intervened, and you couldn’t have foreseen something like this, but after all, this situation occurred during your term. Even if I wanted to protect you, I couldn’t.”

“Father, you couldn’t be?” Lawrence was startled upon hearing Louis’s words, then had a bad feeling.

“Lawrence, from now on, let the position of president of the Silver Moon Trading Company be given to your older brother. He can at least manage the trading company steadily and won’t let problems arise.” As Louis’s words fell, from the compartment in the room, Lawrence’s older brother, Mark, walked out.

“Lawrence, you will no longer serve as the president of the Silver Moon Trading Company’s Aragon branch. After such a major incident, you no longer have credibility within the trading company,” Louis said this, pointing to Mark.

“From today onward, you will serve as your older brother Mark’s advisor. It’s at least a relaxed job, and you two brothers must work together with one heart and mind, cooperating fully. Only then can the Silver Moon Trading Company grow stronger.”

Then, Mark walked up to Lawrence. His fleshy face squeezed out a not-so-pleasant smile.

“Second brother, it’s alright. Come to your big brother. You don’t need to do anything. It’s relaxed and the pay is good,” Saying this, his hand rested on Lawrence’s shoulder.

“The Silver Moon Trading Company, leave it to me, your big brother.”

Lawrence looked at Mark’s smug expression. At this moment, although he wanted to punch him, he could only suppress the frustration and dissatisfaction in his heart and accept his fate just like that.
