Chapter 123


    The rest of the Cowells were astonished.


    Francisy on the ground, trembling uncontrobly. He whimpered continuously because of the pain in


    his mouth.


    Then, he started shedding, tears. He wanted to cry out loud, yet he discovered that he could not move


    his lips. He had not expected something like this to happen and he regretted his actions at this very


    moment


    He wanted to speak, yet was utterly incapable of even moving his mouth.


    “Francis, Francis? How do you feel? Hugo asked as he helped Francis into a sitting position.


    Francis could not speak but his eyes were filled with fear as he looked at Adrian.


    Samantha had not expected Adrian to punch Francis so strongly and her beautiful face turned pale with


    fear.


    Violet was shaking at the sight of Francis‘ badly battered state.


    “What did you do, Adrian?!” she roared at him.


    Adrian pped his hands together. He did not even nce at Violet as he said, “Haven’t you heard of


    the saying ‘the one who scolds people has a foul mouth? Francis scolded someone so it’s natural for


    me to beat his mouth into a foul pulp!


    “As for thepany shares that you want, I can give them to you.”


    “What?” Violet was astonished.


    Samantha was astonished as well. She said, “What nonsense are you saying, Adrian? I’m not giving


    her anything.”


    Violet shouted at Samantha, “Shut up! You have no right to speak here!”


    She looked toward Adrian and said, “Are you serious about the shares?”


    Violet was rather excited. New Paraiso would be worth more than ten million dors soon. If she could


    acquire some of its shares, they would be worth more than a few Cowell Groupsbined.


    The rest of the Cowells were excited too and had almost forgotten about Francis‘ badly mutted


    mouth.


    “Of course, I’m serious,” answered Adrian with a smile. “But”


    He then added, “You can’t just take New Paraiso’s share so casually. If you want them, the condition is


    simple. I’ll give them to you if you bow to your two sons eighteen times.”


    Property belongs to N?vel(D)r/ama.Org.


    Violet shuddered upon hearing, Adrian’s condition and she instantly backed up two steps.


    Adrian beamed widely. He could not be bothered by the shares but he could not stand Violet’s


    shamelessness.


    “That’s asking too much!” shouted Violet.


    “What nonsense are you talking about, Adrian?” Samantha too thought that Adrian was asking for too


    much.


    Adrian said, “The Cowells are well–known for being shameless and useless. Violet, I asked you to bow


    to your two sons, yet now you think you’re too mighty to bow to them?


    “I’ll give you seventy percent if you do it!”


    Adrian cracked a wide smile.


    Hugo and Nathan stood by the side in excitement.


    If Adrian was telling the truth, they were one step away from achieving wealth.


    Violet clenched her teeth tightly. What she cared about most was her reputation. She would be


    disgraced if news of her bowing to her sons for the sake ofpany shares were to spread in


    Swallowston.


    “The biggest mistake I’ve ever made in my life is raising an ungrateful brat.


    “Samantha, I advise you to give the shares some good thought. Otherwise, you will regret this


    If I suffer, so will you,” Violet warned Samantha.


    Samantha was at a loss for words.


    Violet grunted and stormed out of the building.


    Hugo said to Adrian as he dragged Francis, “I won’t let this matter pass either, Adrian. I will have you


    killed once I have everything figured out!”


    Hugo clenched his teeth in rage.


    Nathan reminded, “Samantha, it’d be best for you to hand over the shares. Your grandmother raised


    you for so many years so you should show her some respect.”
