The room fell into huge silence.
Oliver Jack, the second non blood related brother of Mara Athena, was the first one who reacted to Mara's attitude and behavior. He laughed out loud at her words, clapping in satisfaction. Mara raised her eyebrow at the reaction of the young man.
He had a small half moon tattoo on his neck. It was the most noticeable thing. He never showed up in the novel when she was reading so Mara did not know his name nor what character he was. Maybe he showed up after some chapters since she dropped the book so early.
However they did not matter now. "W-what did you just call me?! Old man?! How dare you disrespect me?! You shameless woman! How dare you?!" The man shouted as he walked near to the young woman with a frown, ready to give a lesson.
Mara tilted her head with innocent eyes. "But that's true. Aren't you old man? What are you? A young handsome man? Pff-" the young woman held back her laugh with a mocking smile while Oliver Jack laughed in satisfaction quietly. "Mara Athena!"
The woman shouted as she walked towards the young woman who was making fun of her husband. "Darling, don't mind her. Your health is more important" the woman sweetly spoke, making Mara raised her upper lip in disgust. "What a lovely couple.."
She murmured as rolled her eyes.
"Why did you come, Mara?" The woman asked softly and sweetly. As if she was a real mother of the young woman. "Because I want my money back" Mara blurted out, not caring about her father who was about to faint. "How dare you ask for money after causing many troubles?!"
The man raised his voice as pointed his finger at the young woman. Mara sighed tiredly. "Whether I cause trouble or not, everything in your hand is my money. So give it back, you old man" Oliver chuckled at the young woman's words. He found it amusing.
"You dare to ask for money?! I gave the CEO position and the whole company to you! How dare you ask for money?!" The man raised his voice in anger. "That's the point! The CEO position and the company is mine now. I have the right to take the money. So give it back right now"
Mara looked into the man's eyes fearlessly. Her lazy fox eyes were telling the man to obey her. "Get out of my house! You are no longer my daughter! How dare you show your face after going to club and sleeping with a man!" Mara raised her eyebrow.
"Excuse me! It was your lovely son who called me to come to club and left me alone in the toilet with a fucker. You can ask your son! Believe it or not, I don't care. Stop pulling nonsense into the conversation! Just give my money back!" Mara frowned and gritted her teeth.
She shouted back at the man.
Remy Horper, the non blood related brother of Mara Athena who was always seeking a chance to kill her. He quivered in fear. He thought Mara Athena did not dare to tell back about what happened. Now, this girl shouted the truth loudly in front of her father.
He was not afraid of his non blood related father. He was afraid of losing favour. What if that man disliked him and did not give him the company? He gritted his teeth in anger, his glare was on the young woman who was looking at everyone fearlessly.
"But it was you who told me that you wanted to go to club! It is not my fault!" Remy Horper stood up from the seat, and shouted back, defending himself. The lies from Remy made Mara raised her eyebrows with a smile, "This little hoe.." she murmured, inhaled a sharp breath.
"I still have the proof of you calling me to come to club through message. Do you want me to show that to everyone? Huh? Oh, how about watching the CCTV footage of that night in the club? I am pretty sure people will know the truth just in a second if I show that"
Mara's lips curved up into a devil smirk, raising her brow at Remy. The man frowned tightly and turned around at his non blood related son. "Is that true?!" He raised his voice, shaking in anger. "No! She is lying!! Don't believe her!! She is the one who told me to bring her with me!"
"Alright, let me show the proof then"
Mara quickly took out her phone from the purse as Remy ran towards her, he grabbed the phone from the young woman but Mara tightened her grip on the phone, not letting the man take it. "See? His reaction is clearly telling the truth" she sneered.
"Remy Horper! Is that true?!!" The man shouted as his wife bit her lower lip in frustration. She already knew the fact, she was the one who suggested that idea to her son. She just wanted to kill the young woman and take the company. Now this young woman did not even die.
She blamed her son for not doing the job well. Remy looked at his mother, asking for help silently. Oliver Jack watched everything from the seat with a satisfied smile. He knew everything, but he did not care. He was not interested in those things.
Whenever his brother and mother did something, he distanced himself from them. He did not want to involve in the trouble. Oliver stared at the young woman who was smirking at Remy while her lazy fox eyes were sparkling in satisfaction.
She looked so different. Normally, she would not even dare to look in someone's eyes directly, she would hide her face with her hair and run away. He disliked her for lacking confidence. But now she walked into the villa with a playful smile. It was as if someone had possessed her body.
"P-please listen to me first, dad. I didn-"
"Here! The message!"
Mara gave the phone to the man quickly, making Remy eyes widened in anxiety. He glared at the young woman. "REMY HORPER!" The man yelled, making everyone startled except Oliver and Mara. They just stared at the man with boredom.
"You! Why didn't you tell me about this?! What if the media found out about this?! Don't do like this ever again if you want CEO position of the company! What if she told the media about this?! You can't be the CEO if you are being like this! Be careful next time!"
The man's words made Remy grinned. Mara squeezed her eyes in annoyance, she snapped back her phone from the man with cold face. That man was useless, he just did not care about his real daughter. "Duh, old man, you are fucking disgusting" the young woman jeered.
"What did you just say?! Darling! Look at your daughter's behavior! She is disrespecting you!" the woman whined. Mara frowned in disgust, even a young woman like her did not whine like that to a man, how could an old woman whine like a kid?
"Shut up, you immature old woman! I am here to take my money back, not to kill people. You! Give my money right now before I burn down your fucking house" Mara pointed her finger at the man fearlessly. Her patience had left the chat, she could not wait anymore.
The man stood at the place like a statue, not even moving a bit. He looked at his daughter in disgust. "You should not have been born! Get out of my house! There is no money for you! Starting from today, I don't have a daughter anymore!"
"Thank you, I don't want to be an asshole's daughter too. But I am not going to leave until you give my money back. Try me" Mara's lips curved up into a smile, challenging the man to make her leave the house. "Remy, go take my check paper" the man ordered.
Remy frowned tightly.
"Dad, why-" "I said go take my check paper" the man spoke coldly, making Mara smiled in satisfaction. Husky was standing beside his owner like a shield, ready to bite if someone dared to harm his owner. Remy came back with a check paper in his hands.
The man quickly took the check and wrote down. "1,000,000 dollars and I won't tell to media about your lovely son trying to kill me" she smiled at the man, knowing that he was writing a small amount. "1 million is too much!" the woman shouted in displeasement.
She glared at the young woman. "Shut up! Who the heck are you to butt in? I did not give you permission to speak, shut your ass, old woman" Mara taunted. Remy gritted his teeth in anger. Why were things turning out like that? He did not like it, he wanted that 1 million.
His greediness grew bigger. The man wrote down the numbers in silence. He regretted his decisions. He hated his own daughter. "Here" he gave the check paper to the young woman. His face held regret, hatred and disgust. "1 million.. good! Oh, by the way the company is mine too!"
Mara giggled in satisfaction, she left the villa with her Husky confidently, there was a wide grin on her face. Remy looked at his father in disbelief. "Dad! Are you going to watch her ruin the company?! Please do something!" he shouted like a kid.
"It is all your fault! Why did you try to kill her?! What if she spoke the truth to media?! You can't get the CEO position if you are going to be like this! You are grounded for 2 weeks! I don't want to see your face! Everyone get out!" the man yelled.
Remy bit his lower lip in annoyance, he was blaming everything on the young woman. It was all her fault. If she did not exist, everything should have been his. He should have been the CEO. He walked up to his room while swearing to kill the young woman.
"She is a fox"
Oliver murmured.
The young woman was hiding under the cheep clothing all the time. She was waiting for the perfect time to show her true color. She was waiting for the others to attack her first so that she could fight back without any worries because they were the ones who started it.
He smiled, he admitted that he judged the young woman too early. He was wrong, the young woman was not weak, she was pretending to be weak. In fact, she was a fox who was waiting for the prey to attack her first so she did not have to move and catch the prey quickly.
He stood up from the seat and left the villa. He did not want to come to his non blood related father's villa, he just came to eat breakfast because his mother begged him to. He did not even say goodbye to his stepfather who was sitting on the seat with gloomy face.
Oliver stepped out of the villa, his steps were directing to the Kawasaki Ninja H2 motorcycle. He did not like to drive a car even though he had a Ferrari. He preferred the motorcycle more. He hopped on his motorcycle after wearing motorcycle helmet.
He drove off from the villa.
