Chapter 19 - Regrets

Tracy decide to curiously ask something outside the given questions, "Are you aware your net worth is growing above millions of dollars? In our money market, we found you going close to billions."

"What do I say? Its good news, isn't it?" Turning towards the cameras, Jin-joo remarked, "Do I need one's permission to take a step forward? I guess no, right?"

"Of course you don't, because you're enriched in all titles."

Grayson's place

"Excuse you Mr Flynn, point of correction, my son is decent. You heard that?"

"You called Liam decent? A son who could lift his hands on his father is decent?" Narrowing his eyes at her, Grayson gritted his teeths, "Now Lorena get this very clear, there's nothing I can do to help his case."

"What?" When he was about to walk away, Lorena grabbed his arm and snapped, "What kinda wicked man are you? Sebastian transferred my son, our son to–"

Cutting her off, he raised five fingers indicating 'Stop'. "Sebastian is also my son to, and moreover he didn't throw Liam out of the company. He is a very nice young man and he doesn't have a bad heart like your son whom doesn't have a heart."

The tone of his voice made Lorena fume and ball her hands into a fist, "How dare you defend Petra's son over ours, Grayson?"

"Sebastian and Liam are both my sons." Placing one hand on his chest, "I am their father and I know who's right or wrong amongst them."

"You have no shame Grayson," Gritting her teeths, "You're such a shameless he-goat."

"Am I?" He scoffed and clapped his hands, "Am so glad you're the wife of an he-goat." Vigorously pointing at her, he yelled, "Its your bad attitudes that made Liam to be transferred and now you're trying to put the blame and pressure on me. Be thankful that he didn't lost his job, although I know that Sebastian had the power to do so but he didn't wanna do it because he has passionate heart for him."

"Oh really? Sebastian has the power to do whatever he likes, huh? And Liam? He doesn't?" Placing her hands on her waist, she narrowed her eyes at him, "Grayson you're such a coward and I guess that's the same thing as Sebastian. Liam has never caused any trouble, he is such a peaceful guy and your annoying son chuck him out of the company just because of what? Because he is the president of the corporation."

"Can you hear yourself speaking? You said Liam has never caused any trouble, right? Okay fine, I'll prove you wrong." Crossing his arms, he inquired, "Do you remembered how he usually assault young girls when he was a teenager and also in college?"

Trying to cover up, Lorena pouted her lips, "He was immature at that stage."

Raising his brows, "Immature, even in college? And sometimes from the current reports I'm hearing recently does it means that he's still immature?" Without waiting for her reply, he added, "Lorena there's a phrase that said 'Every bad child comes from the mother' And its true."

When she gave him a deadly glare, he confidently remarked, "Of course you heard me loud and clear, I hope you weren't deaf Lorena. Petra's kids are well disciplined, decent and loyal children. Because she is a good woman."

Running his hands through his face, he sighed and helplessly shook his head, "Even if a ceramic pot was broken and mend together, it can never have the same structure as before. In other words, I've realized my mistakes and I wish time could reverse back so that I can amend what had been broken but it won't."

"What is that supposed to me? Are you calling I and my son bad people?"

"Of course Lorena, you are bad, Liam got the bad blood from you. I don't have evil in my veins. I know–I caused this whole mess to myself from the start. I regret ever knowing you Lorena."

She boiled and fumed harder, trying to hold back the urge of grabbing the knife at the table and slitting his throat, Lorena tightened her fist and retorted, "I also regretted the day I met an heartless and ruthless man like you. You don't deserve to be love neither do you deserve sympathy."

Without saying anything, he made his way into his bedroom upstairs.
