Chapter 46 46. Confrontation Between Father And Daughter[II]
At one of the branch mansions of Befort's...
Evelyn was chilling, enjoying the massages and pedicure by a group of maids.
Her life had undergone a great change because of her daughter. She had gone from hell to heaven within the span of a few moments with every luxury at her disposal.
'It's good that my ex-husband died and left behind a good seedling capable of catching that man's eye. Once she put him in her firm grasp just like me, she would be reborn like a Phoenix rising from ashes.'
'Though that stray kid missing is troublesome it's still better than having him here. I just hope he died out there in the wild instead of creating any more trouble for me.'
"Madam, you seem to be quite happy."
Evelyn's eyes narrowed sharply hearing the maid's words who massaged her.
"Keep quiet and do your work or I will kick you out?"Evelyn snorted.
The maid lowered her head in embarrassment and focused on her work.
It was then that the butler came running hurriedly.
"Madam, we have a visitor."
"Who?"Evelyn grumbled.
"It's Young Lady Gwe...."
The butler couldn't finish her speech as the door of the room was flung open with a bang, and a gorgeous dark-haired lady stepped in emitting an untouchable aura.
"Where did this uncultured girl come from?"Evelyn shouted, seeing such blatant disrespect, and slammed her hand on the armrest."Throw her out immediately."
"Madam, we can't do that."The butler spoke hurriedly trying to appease her but he was forced shut by Evelyn
Anticipating things going to go wild, he turned around to leave and for Master.
'I should inform Master. Women's arguments are quite troublesome to deal with.'
"Hey, where is he?"
Gwen's aura of Martial Grandmaster burst out creating a faint squall of wind.
"Where is my brother, you damned witch?"
"What did you just say?"Evelyn roared in an even louder voice.
Her face became flushed in anger. Since when can a stranger come in and behave haughtily?
Taking a deep breath to calm herself, she got up and asked "Who are you referring to?"
"My brother Leon..."
Evelyn's expression changed and she scanned her from head to toe.
'She looks quite close to that damned bastard...Is she?'
"Are you perhaps Lex's daughter?"
"Yes, I am...Damn!Do you have a hearing problem just say what I asked and stop leading around."Gwen stomped the ground in frustration.
"I don't know. Who knows if he is even alive or not? I think he is already dead," Evelyn shrugged his shoulders with a smile.
Gwen's breathing stagnated and everyone in the room suddenly felt suffocated.
Then under everyone's eyes, Gwen shot at Evelyn like a bullet and then a slapping sound echoed.
Evelyn only saw a faint blur and then found the whole world spinning around but in fact, it was she who spun around a few times and tumbled aside falling crashing on the chairs.
"Oh my God!"
"ARGHH!"
"Madam!''
After screaming in shock, the three maids ran to lift Evelyn while Gwen looked down at Evelyn as if she was merely a bug whom she could trample anytime.
There was a maid who acted as Evelyn's guard but she was scared of the Young Lady. She wasn't an idiot to help the show-off Evelyn and offend the Young Lady who is already at such a high realm.
Evelyn held her swollen cheek with teary eyes and glared at Gwen. She was angry but more than that she was afraid. The effect of the earlier slap still hung over her eyes.
"I will ask you again. Just answer straight. Where is my brother?"
"I...I..."
Her lips quivered as she opened her lips.
"We have no clue." A voice came from behind.
Gwen looked back at the man coming here taking long strides.
"Gwen, I know you are angry but we have no clue except for the fact that there had been an assassination attempt on him, "Lex answered with an uneasy expression.
Though he acted as if he was worried, he was cursing inside.
'Damn! What is she doing here?'
'That fucking Austin, didn't we have a deal to make Leon dead so what is she doing here. That bitch Irina might have gotten out of Austin's grasp. Did he forget to feed her the drug or has the effect worn off?'
'Damn it! After all I did to get away from that bitch, they are still dragging me down.'
'Che!That Austin is useless.'
Lex knew about his daughters having a brother complex for some goddamn reason that even psychiatrists weren't able to cure.
He and Irina were naturally worried about things going wrong so they tried to treat it quite early and found that these two have Haphephobia due to certain incidents making them averse to the touch of the opposite gender.
Leon was the only man in the world whom they were able to get in touch and become comfortable with.
Masking his anger with a smile, he tried to appease her.
"Gwen, calm down. I have also put forward my resources to find him out.''
'In fact, I am desperate to find out.'
Lex extended his hands to give his daughter a hug who stepped back with a disgusting look.
Gwen looked at Lex as if he was dead in her eyes.
"Did you forget, I don't like being touched as for Leon, I will search for him by myself.''
Gwen left glaring at Evelyn and walked away ignoring everyone else.
"Husband she…"Evelyn spoke softly in a grievous tone, wanting him to seek revenge for her but Lex just glared at her to shut up.
Evelyn could only swallow her grievances and curse Leon in her mind.
While walking out, Gwen's eyes shone with uneasiness as she felt that there was something wrong with her father.
...
Meanwhile, on the top floor of a luxurious hotel in Mystara, a somber expression prevailed as a man looked around.
"Find out what happened."Nathan, one of the Committee heads and board director of Marriott Pharmaceuticals, said.
"I didn't think I would be hired for some petty reason."Dawson, a 2-Star assassin, spoke with a sigh..
"You are going to be paid well Dawson but I want details of everything that transpired there and who the person responsible for this is."
Nathan was fuming in anger because he had been the subject of ridicule for the past few days. The trafficking of expired and illegal generic medicines in each country was under certain people. He was in charge of distribution of Elysium but things started going haywire.
He sent his right-hand man to solve things but to his surprise, he was killed. The loss that Nathan endured can't be described in words as he had spent a few billion to raise that guy's level.
"Whatever, just go to Elysium and do the things. And you have one week to find out otherwise…"Nathan warned.
Dawson chuckled seeing the menacing gaze of Nathan's bodyguard.
"Relax, you know my work. Have I ever let you down? I have killed many for you. It's quite simple compared to that."
After a brief conversation, Dawson left, and just as he exited the door.
BOOM!
A part of the glass window shattered and a thin line passed over Nathan's head and hitting the furniture, ruptured the spot.
The bodyguards beside him just stood there in horror as drops of blood splashed over their faces unable to react.
