Captive Hearts: The Tycoon's Ugly Bride novel Chapter 64

Chapter 64 Still Alive

In the Herbart family's old mansion.

With his head hanging low, Wilburn knelt in the center of the main hall.

The old lady, Viola, was in the seat of honor. Her eyes were filled with anger.

"You despicable creature, Louis is your nephew. Drugging and pulling a gun? Why don't you just strangle me to death?"

Wilburn shuddered and cautiously looked up at her.

"Mother, I was muddleheaded. Please forgive me this once. I will reflect on my mistakes."

"Forgive you? It's easy for you to say. You almost killed Louis."

Suddenly, a cup of scalding coffee was smashed onto Wilburn's forehead.

Bleeding, Wilburn glared at her. His eyes were red, and his nails dug into the flesh of his knees.

In terms of familial closeness, he was the eldest son of the Herbart family, but this old woman had never praised him once. On the contrary, she had suppressed him at every turn.

And the lion's share of the Herbart family's assets was in the hands of Louis. She was truly biased.

"Look at your eyes, just like those of a jackal or a tiger. You're greedy and selfish." After Viola discovered the ferocious look in her son's eyes, she became even more furious, slamming her cane onto the floor.

"No. I sincerely regret my actions and beg for your forgiveness. I hope you can understand my good intentions. Forcing Louis to sign the contract was my overreaction. But ultimately, it was a deal that could make money. Why wouldn't he sign?"

Viola pounded her chest with frustration, disappointed in her son.

"Why can't he sign it? Haven't you seen it yet? Genesis Enterprises has long been financially hollow. They're digging a pit for us to jump into."

Wilburn changed colors, not expecting his mother to have teased out the situation.

"Mother, are you serious? I didn't know that."

Wilburn changed his tune. He knew about the situation Genesis Enterprises was in, but he had insisted on signing the contract because the company would lose while he would win.

Sitting quietly on the side, Louis glanced at Sam.

Taking the hint, Sam took out a bundle of documents from his pocket and presented them to the old lady.

"Old Mrs. Herbart, these files are for your reference."

Viola took them. They were a bundle of photos, showing the owner of Genesis Enterprises handing a card to Wilburn.

After seeing them, Viola immediately understood what was going on. She angrily threw the photos onto Wilburn's face.
