'Serves you right, you old man!'
Samuel had outcasted Malcolm from Merchant City just when he was about to attack Joshua. With a new name and strong support, however, Samuel was no longer his opponent.
Malcolm burst into cackles. "I'm a devil? If that's true, why do you still do such a thing to my mother when you still have feelings for Lucy? Do you even remember that you're a priest? If you had just controlled your nether regions, I wouldn't have existed in the first place! Am I right?"
He got on his feet and stood before Samuel while taking a piece of tissue from the table and passing it to him. "Here, wipe off that blood. Why did you vomit blood? You
can't die so early in life. If you die too early, then everything this family has will be mine once more!"
Placing his mouth closer to Samuel's ear, he whispered coldly, "The first thing I'll do when I regain control over this family is to declare war against Joshua. I'll use all the resources in this family to defeat Joshua, even if there is nothing left in the end.
"Oh, but it won't be just against Joshua-Jim and Sean, too! All you cared about was Lucy and everything related to her, so I'm going to destroy everything so you won't rest in peace when you die!"
Samuel widened his eyes instantly after hearing Malcolm's words. He stared at Malcolm and wanted to say something, but another mouthful of blood spurted out his mouth, stopping him from talking.
Just then, the butler walked toward them and said, ’’Master, Mr. Lynch's assistant, Lucas is here. He’s just outside of the door... " He subconsciously looked at Malcolm, and lowered his head. "I think...! think he's here for Eldest Young Master."
Malcolm, who had been very arrogant with Samuel, suddenly became visibly disconcerted when the butler finished talking. He took a pace backward unconsciously. 'How can that be? It’s the first day I'm back in Merchant City as Thomas' driver, and I’ve been staying off the radar! The only thing I did after returning to Merchant City is to settle the score with this old man! How can Joshua send someone here so fast?'
