Jade turned to Butler Jerry.
' Uncle Jerry, could you please have someone escort my friends in?' She says. She turned to the four guys.
' Let me handle this. I will be there soon.' She says.
The four guys followed Butler Jerry. Jayden turned and stared at Robert King with dark, cold eyes.
' Hello great grandfather.' Jade greeted Old man King with a bright smile.
' So disrespectful at this age. Didn't you see me standing here?' Robert King says.
Jade felt anger rushing through her body. She knew this was Jade's feelings which made her surprised because apart from Ruby Thompson's situation, she had never expressed any emotions even towards Wendy Thompson.
' What's the story?' Jade asks System Jade.
' When my mom got married, he refused to attend and Great grandfather walked down the aisle with mom in his place. But when Aunt Wendy got married to father, he personally walked her down the aisle.' System Jade replied.
' Why would he do that?' Jade asks.
' Because Great grandfather skipped him and made mom his successor. He's so petty that he started opposing mom at every single opportunity. And now great grandfather is planning to hand it to you.' System Jade replied.
Jade sneered, she hated such hypocritical "elders" the most.
Robert King felt uncomfortable the way Jade Thompson stared blatantly at him and he nearly lost it when she gave him a mocking smile.
' What are you staring at me for? Unfilial child!!' Robert King rebuked. He never liked this granddaughter, not only looked like Jane but acted like her as well. She never knew how to lower her head and please her elders unlike his other two granddaughters.
' I'm wondering where you got the confidence to walk into Bluesky Pavilion and tell the master what to do.' Jade says.
' What do you know? This is between father and son. Who do you think you are to interfere?' Robert King retorted.
' Who am I? Didn't you hear great grandfather say I'm his successor? Aren't you afraid that if you get on my nerves I will banish you from our King family like your darling Wendy Thompson.' Jade asks with a raised brow.
' Unfilial thing, you dare to say that. Dad do you see your so-called successor? She's this way before inheriting the property, imagine how she'll be after getting it.' Robert King says.
' Do you expect me to pretend to be respectful to you and then disrespect you after taking over? I'm sorry that is not Jade Thompson's way. Will you leave here peacefully or should I get someone to throw you out?' Jade says coldly.
' I want to see who is bold enough to kick me out of my own father's house.' Robert King replies.
' Alright then. We'll see whose words hold more weight in this place. Is someone there? Please see our guest out.' Jade says as two hefty looking men enter.
' Will you listen to this brat? That daughter of a b*tch? Take her out.' Robert King shouts as soon as he sees the guards.
Jade calmly says to the guards.
' Take this man and inform the security at the entrance to not let Robert King into Bluesky Pavilion without prior appointment. If they fail to stop him then they can retire peacefully.' Jade says exuding authority of a leader.
The two men exchanged glances with each other and advanced towards Robert King.
' What do you think you are doing? Dad can you see this?' Robert King.
The guards' face revealed utmost disdain.
Between the elegant First Young Miss and the Vulgar Young Master, the choice was obvious. Not to mention that the First Young Miss was the most doted child of the patriarch.
' Leave me! I can walk on my own.' Robert King finally gave up struggling.
' No chance. I gave you two choices earlier, leave peacefully or get thrown out and you obviously chose the latter. So they will throw you out so it can be imprinted in you mind that each time you come here uninvited or cause a scene, you will be humiliated and thrown out.' Jade says.
The two guards "escorted" Robert King admist his curses and protests.
' Let's talk in my study.' Old man King says and Butler Jerry, who had returned at some point, pushed his wheelchair towards the study.
************
In the rooftop sitting room,
The guys see Robert King getting dragged while he spewed out all sort of profane words.
Jayden's mood improved visibly. Jane King should have learnt how to deal with this man from Jade Thompson.
' Will our Demoness be alright?' Justin says worriedly.
The other three look at him. Justin was familiar with that look of disdain, he had his "what did I do?" expression on his face.
' Do you think that that vulgar old man is a match for her?' Tyler says voicing the others opinion.
Jayden nods his head like a chicken pecking rice.
' Of course, my demoness is the best.' Justin says.
Jayden's face turned cold. Just as he was about to give Justin a sound warning, Justin spoke.
' I remember you need to come up with an epic proposal by tomorrow night. I know a great event planned, I could you give you his contacts. I know a great stylist, she can..... No you are about to date our Demoness, you are not allowed to get close to any other female creature even a female mosquito.' Justin says solemnly.
Jayden's expression softened a little. He kind of understood why Jade doted on Justin. His naivety is very rare especially since he hid it behind his tough exterior.
' Hm, thank you. But I doubt if any girl will come close to me with this face. But Jade on the other hand...' Jayden says while pretending to be troubled.
' Don't worry Jayden. I will make sure no stink guy gets close to our Demoness. You can count on me.' Justin says puffing out his chest.
Tyler snickered. Now he understood why Jayden Lincoln was successful at this age. He had successfully turned Justin into a bodyguard for Jade and the stupid Justin was totally oblivious.
*************
Old man King's study,
' You've grown up. Why did you handle the issue outside the way you did?' Old man King says sipping tea to hide his expression.
' Great grandfather, his attitude has always been a reason for contempt, it isn't the first day and it won't be the last. Despite all his willfulness and overbearing attitude, my mother allowed him to do as he pleased as he was resting under the flag of filial piety. On a normal day, I would ignore him to give him respect as an elder but I just happened to be in a bad mood. After all, a wounded tigress is the most dangerous. And it's time he understood that he isn't a prodigal youth or a willful young master anymore and this was the best way.' Jade explains calmly.
' *sigh* You have really grown up. At least I can feel at ease leaving this family in your hands. You know about our King Industry, our Bluesky Pavilion, the many properties in our name but our source of wealth is deeper than just business acumen.' Old man King says and pauses to study Jade's expression. Unfortunately for him as an actress and a psychologist in training, you could only see what she wanted you to see: nothing.
But heavens knew she wasn't as calm as she looked.
' Jade, is your family in the mafia? Are they drug barons? Organ traffickers? Slave traders? Fraudsters? Are they....?'
' Just shut up and listen to what he has to say.' System Jade says.
