Siren Song - 181 Who Is This?
“I’m here to make you see reason, cousin. Giving her an oily smile Robert Dumont blew a puff of smoke into her face. “Though you are going to have to please me first and make it up to me after that shit you pulled in there.”
Waving her hand in front of her face she coughed violently while giving him an evil eye.
“Now why would I do that? That was one of our most satisfying interaction ever.” Seeing his displeased look she continued a malicious glint coming into her eyes. ‘I am going to destroy you piece by piece Robert, I will personally dismantle the little empire you have built and give it away. You may have threatened me once and succeded, but I do not fear you now and never will again.”
“Are you truly not afraid, that I will re-release the video, and let it leak that you took drugs? Remember how much of a scandal it was before when no one even knew who you really were? You’ve made a name for yourself now, what do you think it will be like if I released it now?”
“J’en ai plus rien à foutre.”1 Keeping her face calm and emotionless she replied calmly to Robert Dumont.
“Do you really not?” Sauntering slowly forward to her he narrowed his eyes. “Or is it, did you enjoy the scandal of being a cousin fucker?”
Hearing the term again that she had not heard in a long time, Chang remembered all the slander that had followed her for so long. Every grievance, every harsh word, every snide side eye and comment had hurt her so much then, but had become her fuel for revenge.
Remembering it all she felt her blood start to boil under the surface but struggled to control herself. The hand that was not holding onto her folders, curled into a tight fist with her nails cutting into her palm.
‘No you will not lose control in public, it’s what he really wants. Be calm, send him away, and call grand-pere later. There should be no evidence of that video any longer, and even if there is its old news. It’s very unlikely to garner any attention now after so long.’
While her attention was lost inside herself Chang felt a hand touch her cheek softly and shook her head in digust and took a step back.
“Never touch me again.”
“Oh did you not like that, you didnt complain then, though.” His hand reached out to touch her again but was gripped by another that pulled around. Against the pale white of Robert’s wrist Jian’s honey colored skin stood out in sharp contrast.
Almost seething with rage enough to create a visible aura of anger Liang Jian Amal tightened his grip on the man’s wrist pulling him away from her.
Keeping his eyes on the lanky dark haired man he had pondered on it, determined to wait until he saw her exit, and the man blowing a plume of smoke into her face. Seeing that he got out of her car silently not closing the door, it did not matter anymore who this was.
Standing he heard her throw insults at the man. Bristling while she showed off her mettle. Chang stood tall and proud as she spoke of destroying the man in front of her.
‘Do I need to let her take care of this one? As much as I would love to jump in and take over, shes a proud person. I need to let her fight her own battles sometimes, as much as I dislike this..’
“.. Did you enjoy the scandal of being a cousin fucker?”
Hearing the foul words spoke to her, Liang Jian Amal felt himself become even more incensed, especially when he realized he recognized the man’ s voice. Seeing him reach forward to touch her, he didn’t realize he could be even angrier but he was.
Whipping the man around by his wristLiang Jian Amal wished he could crush this man completely and grind him into the dust below his feet.
“Qui êtes-vous?”2 With an affronted look the man looked down at Liang Jian Amal and the vice like grip on his wrist and tried to pull away. “Release me cretin.”
Ignoring him while crushing the mans wrist Liang Jian Amal turned to look at Chang, feeling a hot fire burning in his chest causing him to take deep heaving breaths.
“Who is this man to you?”
