Chapter 34
Victor stared at his father's angry face, and Victor's eyes gradually turned cold and cruel.
They had already gotten the news so soon.
Victor glanced sharply at Vincent. "I'm not the only son in the Alwynn family."
He started his own business three years ago just to break free from the arranged marriage.
He would not marry any woman before he found Eden.
He was also waiting for his mother to return.
Vincent knew that Victor was referring to himself.
Haven was not the biological daughter of the Clement family. If anything happened to Haven, the Clement family would not care about her. Why would Vincent want to marry her then?
There was still a long road ahead of him.
With Vincent's status, he could marry a woman with a better family background.
Moreover, Victor already had his own business. Vincent would be the sole inheritance of Phillip's assets. Hence, Vincent had no one to be afraid of.
"Victor, you're the one who decided to have a marriage alliance with the Clement family. The Clement family only wanted you to be their son-in-law. Haven is a good girl. You can't let her down." Phillip softened his tone. After all, Victor was his son.
Victor was better than himself in all aspects. Phillip still cared about his son even though he is a little headstrong.
Victor's eyes were terrifyingly sharp, so much so that Phillip was a little scared of Victor's gaze.
A sardonic smile appeared on Victor's face. A hint of stubbornness flashed across his deep-set eyes. "I won't marry Haven. You don't have to give this a second thought anymore."
Victor turned around after he said that and quickly went to the third floor. He only came back tonight to take something.
"Victor, Victor!" Phillip shouted a few times, but Victor ignored him.
They always parted on bad terms after they talked. Phillip was very upset about this.
"Alright, Phillip, you also know Victor's temper. When did he not come back and end up in an argument with you?" Rebecca became gentle when she was talking to her husband.
Graciella took the opportunity and passed a glass of water to her father. She smiled and said, "Dad, don't be angry anymore. We're already used to Victor's temper. Don't get too upset, dad."
Phillip let out a heavy sigh.
He missed Jaida even more as he got older.
Jaida was a good cook. No matter how late he returned home, she would prepare a full meal for him.
Now he did not even want to stay at this cold, passionless house.
Victor went up to the third floor and removed a memory card from his pinhole camera. Hethen inserted a new memory card into the pinhole camera.
He hid the camera and changed his clothes before he strode downstairs.
Phillip frowned when he heard Victor's loud footsteps. Phillip asked, "Victor, where are you going? It's already so late."
Victor's eyes were cold and grave. A hint of hostility flashed across his eyes. Victor said coldly, "I have something else to do. I won't stay at home tonight."
Victor left without a backward glance after he said that.
Phillip also got up and said with a stern expression, "Let's rest for the night!" He then walked to his
study.
A hint of complex emotion flashed across Rebecca's eyes when she stared at Phillip's back.
Vincent's narrow eyes squinted slightly. His eyes were glinting maliciously.
Vincent said in a low voice, "Mom, Victor's is getting even more presumptuous." Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.
"Hmph!" Rebecca smiled coldly.
"Of course he's even more arrogant now that he's independent and accomplished. River City has now become his empire." She looked out the window. A hint of ambitious glint flashed past her almond-shaped eyes. She emanated a murderous aura.
