Chapter: 820
�You know how my father is. When he�s angry, he doesn�t care about anything. You know how we Osbornes started our business in the grayer parts of the industry, don�t you? He�s using his old ways to punish Liam! H- he�s going to be beaten to death at this rate!� Leia gushed out everything and burst into tears.
She looked helpless as she begged Renee, �Ren, please think of a way to save my brother! He�s going to die!�
�Okay. Stop crying. Where are they now? I�ll go see them,� Renee comforted Leia as she packed her things and prepared to leave.
She didn�t know Geronimo well, only that he was a stubborn, deeply conservative old man who ruled his family with an iron fist.
As the long-awaited heir of Geronimo, Liam was the second largest shareholder of Osborne Group and had always been his family�s favored child.
Liam, however, had quietly mortgaged his shares to cover a small technology company�s financial hole.
Even as an outsider, Renee was furious at what he had done.
�Your brother has really lost his mind this time. Even if he trusted Azure Group and me, he shouldn�t gamble the future of Osborne Group like this. What if our project fails? What if Azure Group goes bankrupt? Did he think about the consequences?�
�Who�s to say he hasn�t? My brother is motivated by love. In the past few years, he supported your career and expanded Azure Group to the point of almost emptying out our family�s coffers! My father has been unhappy about it for a while now, but he never expected Liam to take out a loan using his shares as collateral! This time, my father might actually kill him to vent his anger!�
�It was my fault. I was too slow to realize that this would happen,� Renee said, hanging her head low as she was consumed with guilt.
Renee had always thought that Liam was funding Azure Group with Osborne Group�s approval. She never imagined that he was struggling to this extent.
�Hey, it isn�t your fault. Clearly, someone has been spreading rumors. My brother wouldn�t be in this tough situation if there weren�t! Let�s focus on how to save him first!�
�You�re right. Let�s not waste any more time. We have to go.�
Before leaving, Renee instructed Aiden not to run around and ensured he had enough food and water. With Aiden�s intelligence, she trusted he could take care of himself.
Renee and Leia drove the car flat-out, arriving in no time at the Osborne residence, a luxurious mansion in the western district.
From afar, Renee could hear Geronimo�s thunderous voice, �Don�t stop me! I�ll beat this loser to death today! He�ll take nine thousand nine hundred and eightyone hits from this iron whip! Not a single blow will miss! I�ll beat anyone who tries to stop me!�
In the living room of Osborne Mansion, Geronimo�s five sisters and five sons-inlaw, Mrs. Osborne, and Hayden Jacobs, were all present.
Liam, who was usually charming and elegant, was now completely unrecognizable. His sturdy back was covered in cuts and bruises, and there was not a single inch of skin was left unblemished.
�Dear, stop beating him! If you continue, you�ll kill our son�!� Hayden cried as she held Liam in her arms. Tears flowed down her face as she begged, �Liam is your only son! You have a huge business! If you kill him, who will inherit it?�
�Mom, I don�t like that you said that!� Laura, the third daughter of the Osborne family, sneered, �You make it sound like we�re not part of the family! What? Did you pick us up from the roadside? Even if Liam is no more, it�s not like the Osborne name will go extinct! What century are we in? Why do you still prefer sons over daughters?� JrNovels.com
