The CEO’s Lovely Wife - Chapter 253

“Young master, news just came in. The President and CEO of the Halo Company is Master Peizhi Park, the father of the young madam.”

Lexus paused in his musings and stared at Assistant Yu with a blank expression before dread crept up to him like vines wrapping around his feet and crawling up to his body and choking his neck.

“That’s absurd.” He said, not believing this at all. However, a part of him also believed this since there was also such a big possibility that something like this could have happened.

‘But why now? Why did this happened so suddenly when he had finally started making his move in taking down Peizhi?’ Lexus lowered his eyes as he veiled his murderous intent flashing across his deep blue eyes. Although it was dazzling, one could not hide the fact the brewing danger hidden at the beneath his eyes.

Lexus grinded his teeth making his jaw tightened and veins popping on his face here and there. There were even veins pulsating on his clenched fists that had turned blue and white.

“This came from a very reliable source so it could not be mistaken.” Assistant Yu also did not look good. He knew all about Peizhi’s wrongdoings and about his mistreatment of his young madam when she was young. It was just too awful.

Was that someone a biological father would do to their daughter, their own flesh and blood? If he was a stepfather, then maybe it would not be a surprise because some had a degree of animosity to this, especially to people with high standing.

But this?! Peizhi was an abnormal human being who does not recognize blood from water. He was too blind to see.

“Ask him to investigate this matter.” Lexus said with a grave tone in his voice while tapping his table in a rhythmic manner, deep in thought. He was imagining things on how he should torture Peizhi that he could not stand back up anymore even if he wanted to.

“You mean young master Luke?” Assistant Yu asked, eyes widened in surprise.

“…yes, him.” Lexus nodded his head after a short pause. “He’s good at this stuff.”

“Yes, young master. I will immediately tell him.” But before Assistant Yu could get out of the office, he was stopped by Lexus’ sudden question.

“How is he?” Lexus asked. But this was not really what he wanted to ask in the first place. What he wanted to know was when his brother would go home and visit their parents.

That’s right. Lexus had a brother, an adoptive older brother to be exact. He was a distant relative which due to unfortunate circ.u.mstances, he was left to be adopted into the main family. However, due to the interference with his grandmother, his older brother left the Song residence and chose to be independent, never stepping into the family home or visiting their parents since.

In the eyes of the public, the Song family has two sons; namely, Luke and Lexus. But in actuality, Lexus was the only son of the current family head and only a few knew of Luke being only an adopted child.

“He seemed fine to me, young master. I’d tell him that you had send your regards.” Assistant Yu answered with a small and knowing smile before adding, “He said that you don’t have to worry and that he would be visiting you soon.”

“…” Lexus pursed his lips while averting his eyes from Assistant Yu’s probing ones before nodding his head in understanding.

While Lexus was trying to settle some things with regard to this sudden change on Peizhi’s side, Grandpa He was also fuming with rage at this sudden news in City A.

*Crash* *Clang*

Grandpa He threw the bottle of wine that was given to him by his eldest son, He Jei. He did not care if it was expensive or He Jei was so distraught at the good wine wasted on the floor.

“Father!”

“Shut up!” Grandpa He roared while pointed his cane toward He Jei with a snarl, “Didn’t you hear? That son of a btch just stole your sister’s company and made it his own.”

His breathing became labored as his anger flew up to his head to the point in which there was steam coming out of his ears and nose. He was so angered that his whole body trembled and a metallic taste was on his tongue.

He Jei’s eyes darkened. He knew about this and was also not very happy. But what made him even more upset and worried about was his father’s health that was declining. He clenched his hands into fists and lowered his head.

Grandpa He slammed his stick on the floor angrily. “How can your sister be so stupid to have fallen with that kind of sc.u.m? I really don’t know why. Good thing that her daughter, my darling October, was such a fine and wise young woman that she was able to find a good husband that would treat her like a precious treasure.”

He Jei looked at his father’s face that was that of a proud parent. Seriously though, he was angry and making a commotion just a moment ago about his daughter and yet now, he was praising his granddaughter and criticized his daughter.

“Prepare the plane. I go there myself and beat that shameless bastard and put that dog into his rightful place.” Grandpa He roared as he stormed out of the office with a heavy and suffocating air around him.

“Father, don’t be too impulsive.” He Jei run out in panic as he caught up with his father who was walking so fast for his old age. He was really worried.

“Bah! Don’t stop me. I’ve lived more harshly than you all. This matter…ha! Just a pesky little rat claiming to be an eagle! I dare him to lay his dirty claws on my granddaughter. He had already taken my daughter away from me forever, I would never let him do that too to my granddaughter.”

In the elevator, Assistant Ke’s phone rang, instantly breaking the silence. He pulled and looked at the screen. Then, after a short pause, he looked at his master and then to his phone.

“Master, the young miss is calling.” Before he could even offer the phone to his master, Grandpa He had already snatched it unceremoniously from his hand, so swift and fast that he could only feel the wind.

“Granddaughter, you called.” Grandpa He said with a bright smile on his face.
