Chapter 74: Questioning

Chapter 74: Chapter 74: Questioning

Dolemort sat relaxedly in the backseat of the car while Mr. Clark had taken the driver’s seat. Most of the time when Mr. Clark accompanied Dolemort to any important appointments, he would drive the car for him because there were usually some important confidential business discussions between them. Dolemort didn’t like letting any third person hear it, even if its his own driver, thus as his Chief Secretary and his beta, Mr. Clark had been always mindful of it.

Similarly, after walking out of the restaurant after meeting Elena and her father Mr. Smith, Dolemort possessed an overwhelming silence which started to make Mr. Clark feel a bit anxious.

Usually, Dolemort would initiate a few conversations with Mr. Clark right after any appointment was over, but even after he had driven for almost 30 minutes, Dolemort didn’t speak a word to him.

Through the front mirror, Mr. Clark observed tapping his fingers over his thighs, his expression looked quite solemn as if deep inside his head Dolemort was contemplating something. It was hard to predict what was particularly going on inside his head, especially after all that conversation with Elena.

"Clark?"

"Y-Yes sir!"

While he sneaked glances at him, Dolemort didn’t even avert his gaze away from the window before he suddenly summoned him in a stern voice. His tone indeed flinched Mr. Clark, but trying his best to put on a calm reaction, he smiled at him, "Do you have anything to command, Sir?"

"Did you meet with Zenith today?"

Like a striking jolt of thunder, Dolemort’s question rendered him speechless for a second, leaving Mr. Clark too nervous to breathe! He clenched his grip over the steering wheel while narrowing his orbs ahead.

Mr. Clark had feared the possibility that Dolemort might get a hunch about what kind of strenuous situation he was involved with Zenith today since Dolemort was the kind of controlling father who liked to keep in check his son’s whereabouts.

But since he had given his word to Zenith about keeping everything that happened today encircling Kylian as a secret from his father, Mr. Clark tossed a cryptic smile on his face while he attempted to confront the topic boldly, "Oh, yes, I had gone to see Young Master in his Academy today, Sir."

"But I didn’t give you any orders to go and check on him. Did Zenith contact you?" Dolemort sounded much stiffer than before, with his deep gaze fixated on the passing scenery around them.

"No, he didn’t contact me, Sir. I went to see Young Master on my own because you might be aware already, I always keep in check whether he is living comfortably inside the Academy or not." His hands grabbing the steering wheel had started to sweat from the anxiety piling inside him, but Mr. Clark spoke very calmly to not let him catch any suspicion.

However, a small snort escaped from Dolemort when he heard his answer.

His mysterious grey pupils dilated big when Dolemort scoffed at him, "Zenith isn’t the kind of boy who would be living in trouble inside the Elite Academy, rather than that, he’s a troublesome kid who must have already caused a living hell for other students around him. Doesn’t this part sound more appropriate for him?"

Mr. Clark’s face turned a bit sour after hearing his answer since it hurt him a bit to see a father being so impassive about his own son’s whereabouts.

Though he nodded to his response outside, his mind couldn’t stop pondering, ’If only he had been a bit kinder to that boy...if he had at least showed him a little love...would Young Master have resorted to the way of living this kind of life? As his own father, doesn’t he feel the slightest empathy towards his feelings?’

"I know what you must be pondering inside your head, Clark." But suddenly Dolemort’s stiff voice winced Mr. Clark. But before he could meet his gaze, Dolemort continued with a heavy exhale, "You must have considered me as a relentless father, right? Well, some part of your assumption might be true, but I am doing all this for that stubborn boy’s sake.

"If I had let him grow up as a kind-hearted softie, just like the way his mother had spoiled him since he was a kid, Zenith wouldn’t have been able to survive the harshness of this world now. I had to resort to my cruel ways to hurt and break his heart, and only by doing that I have turned him into the cold-hearted, gruesome Alpha he has become today. And I never regret any of my decisions."

Even though Dolemort sounded quite proud of his actions, it indeed made Mr. Clark feel upset. Every time he saw Zenith losing his childhood serenity as he grew up into a twisted man, Mr. Clark would feel guilty about the promise he had made to Zenith’s mother, Zorina one day before her death.

Even though Dolemort was habituated to talking about Zorina’s death as if it was a small incident, Mr. Clark knew what a heavy impact it had left on little innocent Zenith’s heart.

Thus, to regard her with the deep respect he still had for her at the very least, Mr. Clark couldn’t suppress himself from urging, "Sir, I have been serving you for a very long time and I have seen everything that happened in the Agastya Mansion from close.

"But, I would request you, not to disregard the sincere love Madam had for our Young Master. She didn’t spoil him, she rather cherished him deeply. And I am certain, if she had been still alive, Young Master could have been happier—"

"Then do you want to say I didn’t give that brat happiness?" But Dolemort’s bitter grunt flinched Mr. Clark as he tightened his hold around the steering wheel while narrating.

"No, I did not mean it, Sir—"

"That brat has been nothing but a headache of my life! His intention has been always to get on my nerves and tarnish my pride and reputation when he should have been the one to regard it better since he’s my only child! Despite his mother’s death, Zenith still had Vanessa and me beside him. So what the heck turned him into an unhappy child!?"

Dolemort scowled, his angry bitter voice resonating loudly inside the car which led to a heavy silence afterwards.
