�That�s right!� Geronimo exclaimed. �Liam is not my only descendent! If I beat this loser to death, I still have six daughters! Every single one of them brings me less heartache than this loser, especially Laura! The family business I handed to her has been flourishing these years, and I�d be at ease if I handed them all the business!�

Laura smirked, then said to Liam, who was kneeling in the middle of the room,

�When you took that money to start Azure Group, you didn�t just use it to pick up girls, did you? We thought you were over that, but who would have thought you would become more addicted the more you invested? You took all of the Osbornes� money and threw it at Stefan�s wife, and what was the result? She got tired of playing with you, obviously. Did she thank you? Did she let you touch her? You�ve been licking her shoes for so many years. Did you get anything out of it? Now you�re almost dead from getting beaten. Do you think she cares?�

Liam clenched his fist tightly, and he glared at Laura with reddened eyes, sneering, �Dear sister, I warn you to speak respectfully. The boss is my savior, and she holds a sacred place in my heart! If you continue with such disrespect, don�t blame me for ignoring our relationship!�

Geronimo became angrier when he heard those words. �You brat! You�ve been bewitched! I�ve had an outstanding life and experienced countless women! How could I have given birth to such an idiot who gets affected by love? What shitty retribution is this?!�

The older man was furious that he raised the iron whip in his hand and brought it down fiercely again. �You�ll be ruined in that woman�s hands sooner or later, so I might as well just kill you today and get it over with!�

�Stop!�

Renee�s voice rang out clear and firm.

Everyone turned to the door.

Liam, who had been calm, immediately became angry and shouted at Leia, �You stupid girl! Are you crazy? Why did you tell her?!�

�Liam, you�re still putting up such a brave front? If I didn�t get Ren here, Father would have killed you!�

Leia cried as she rushed over and hugged Geronimo�s arm. �Father, Liam is my twin! Our lives are connected. If you really want to beat him, then beat me as well! If he dies, I can�t live either!�

�Lei, get up! Your brother doesn�t know any better, but you don�t have to follow his example! If you�re not careful, I might accidentally hit you with the whip!�

Liam was the most favored child in the family, but Leia, the youngest daughter, came after him. So, when Geronimo spoke to her, he unconsciously toned down a little.

�No! Either you stop hitting Liam, or you hit the both of us together!�

�Come! Take her away!� Geronimo ordered his subordinates coldly.

Renee walked up to Geronimo and said humbly, �It�s been a while, Uncle Geronimo. I think the one you�re really angry with isn�t Liam but me, the real culprit of this mess. So, as long as you forgive Liam, I�m willing to pay the price!�

�Oh? Did the sun rise from the west today? The redhead whose shoes my son has been licking has finally decided to show up?� Geronimo hissed venomously as he studied Renee from head to toe as though he was looking at a commodity.

Then, he sneered, �Are you really willing to pay any price to save this loser?�

Renee nodded, her eyes determined. �I�ve never gone against my words.� JrNovels.com
