Chapter 98 The Vincent Family is Insulted
"Dad, I'm not trying to tattle. I know I should get along with Cecilia, but I just feel a bit indignant for our family. When Isadora first joined the company, Uncle Theodore looked down on her so much. Now his daughter comes to work, and it's just taken for granted. I think the reason Uncle Theodore and Cecilia agreed so quickly to let me work yesterday is because Uncle Theodore had already planned for her to come and didn't want to look bad, so he agreed right away," Juliana said cautiously.
On the other end, Vincent grew angrier as he listened. "Theodore is really going too far! No matter what, I'm still his older brother. He's using his position as chairman to embarrass me?! Juliana, don't worry, I won't let you be wronged like this!"
"Dad, won't this make things difficult for you? After all, Uncle Theodore is in charge of the Lockhart Group now. I'm afraid he'll target you..." Juliana said worriedly. "I'm fine. Even if Cecilia overshadows me, it's no big deal."
Vincent replied angrily, "Overshadow you? That's just a way to overshadow me! Don't worry, even if Theodore is the chairman, he wouldn't dare do anything to me! If he tries, your grandmother will back me up."
"Okay," Juliana obediently agreed.
"I have some things to take care of, so I won't say much more. Do your work well, and if anything happens, tell me right away. Don't bear any grievances on your own," Vincent instructed.
"Alright, I won't disturb your work then," Juliana said with a sweet smile.
After hanging up, the smile on Juliana's face instantly disappeared. Her mom was right!
To win over men, one had to know how to appear weak and how to please them.
Now she was winning over her dad, and in the future, she would win over Dominic or Alaric.
A malicious smile appeared on Juliana's lips.
Everything Cecilia wanted, she would take away!
She was the true eldest daughter of the Lockhart family!
On the streets of Serenovia City.
Vincent sat in the car, his face cold as he ended the call.
Besides him, Vivienne and Isadora were also in the car.
They were on their way to the Kingsley family to make Dominic take responsibility for Isadora.
Vivienne's expression changed noticeably when she heard it was Juliana on the phone. She mocked, "Your precious daughter is feeling wronged again?"
"What are you talking about? She's standing up for Isadora!" Vincent was completely taken in by Juliana.
Isadora scoffed and said, "Standing up for me? She's already taken my place, what a smug person!"
"Enough, with the way you are now, what right do you have to mock Juliana!" Vincent's face darkened.
Vivienne gave Isadora a look.
Isadora held back.
Once she marries Dominic, she will definitely teach that bitch Juliana a harsh lesson!
The car arrived at the Kingsley family's mansion.
Vincent led his family inside.
After leaving the Lockhart family's mansion yesterday, he contacted the Kingsley family to discuss the matter between the two children. The Kingsley family agreed right away, probably thinking it was time to settle this. When they went inside, they saw the entire Kingsley family waiting in the living room.
The Kingsley family didn't look too pleased to see Vincent and his family.
Nathaniel greeted them indifferently, "You're here."
Vincent acted somewhat arrogantly. After Cecilia's reminder yesterday, he suddenly felt like he was the victim in this situation, so he appeared more justified.
They walked over.
Vincent got straight to the point. "Regarding my daughter Isadora and Dominic, you must give us an explanation."
"An explanation?" Nathaniel sneered, full of sarcasm. "What kind of explanation do you want?"
"Isn't it obvious? My daughter has been mistreated by your son. Shouldn't you give her an explanation?!" Vincent's face changed as he listened to Nathaniel's tone.
"My son has been ruined by your daughter, and I haven't asked you for compensation. How dare you come here asking for an explanation? What, do you want to marry your daughter to our Dominic? Before you say anything, reflect on your daughter's behavior first," Nathaniel's words were harsh.
"What are you talking about?! Reflect on what? My daughter was mistreated by your son, and you not only refuse to take responsibility but also mock me?! Is this what you call the Kingsley family, so irresponsible and ill-mannered! No wonder you've always been at the bottom of the four major families. With someone like you in charge, in a couple of years, you won't even be considered one of the four major families..."
"Enough!" Nathaniel stood up from the sofa in anger, coldly facing Vincent. "I invited you here today to settle this matter, not to argue with you!"
"How do you want to settle it?" Vincent asked, suppressing his anger.
"$5 million," Nathaniel said. "Publicly announce that your daughter seduced my son."
"Are you crazy?! You think you can buy me off with $5 million and make me do something like that? You're out of your mind!" Vincent was so angry he couldn't control his words.
"$5 million is already generous!" Nathaniel said disdainfully. "A daughter from a side branch, what value does she have!"
"You!" Vincent was very furious.
Isadora couldn't accept what the Kingsley family was saying either.
Tears welled up in her eyes as she spoke to Nathaniel weakly, "How can you say that about me? Dominic and I are truly in love. By belittling me, aren't you also embarrassing Dominic?"
"Nonsense, when did I ever truly love you?" Dominic directly refuted.
"Dominic," Isadora looked at him in disbelief.
How could he say such things?
At the wedding, although Dominic's words were harsh, she thought he was just embarrassed in front of so many people. Now that it was all over, and since Cecilia had married Alaric, Dominic should accept her. Why would he still say such things?
When they were in bed, he didn't say that.
Dominic said, "Don't call me. I can't even stand to look at you, let alone hear your voice! Why are you so shamelessly trying to seduce me?! And now you have the nerve to come to my house and ask me to take responsibility? You're dreaming..."
"Dominic!" Isadora was utterly humiliated by Dominic's words. "When we were in bed, you said you loved me. You said you were only with Cecilia for the benefits. You said once you got the benefits, you would be with me. Have you forgotten?!"
"You must be delusional! How could I love a woman like you? You're so full of yourself! Yes, I admit I have no feelings for Cecilia either. I was just using her to get the Lockhart family's wealth. But even so, I'm willing to put in the effort for Cecilia, not just because of her status, but because she's prettier and has a better figure than you. Where do you get the confidence to think I would love you?!"
Dominic's mockery made Isadora wish she could die at that moment.
She wished she could die with Dominic!
