299 Portrai (1/2)

”That's good then. Make sure they hit rock bottom! I want them to crawl back to the slums, where they belong! How dare that General took away what's supposed to be my grandson's!?” Hissed Old Madam Liu into the phone. Senior Liu accidentally heard it when he entered her office.

”What are you doing, mother?” Senior Liu asked in disbelief, sincerely hoping he heard it wrong.

”What?!” Old Madam Liu challenged him with an arched eyebrow.

Then she added, ”You and your son are both weak… Letting that General get away with everything, as though he didn't do anything wrong. He stole the Chans's daughter away from us and ruined my plan!”

”Mother!” Senior Liu shouted so loudly that it startled his mother. He scowled at her as his face reddened in rage. Old Madam Liu had never seen her son act like this before.

”What!? Why are you acting like this!?” She hissed.

Senior Liu tried his best to regain his composure. For a few minutes, there was only silence.

He let out a long sigh before he walked over to his mother's desk and dialed his secretary's number, ”Bring me all the reports on General Lim…”

Old Madam Liu's brows knitted when she heard it. She asked, ”Why would you show me his files? I'm not interested in his details. I'm only interested in crushing him for getting in my way!

Senior Liu laughed scornfully as he jeered, ”Check his details first before you go on with your plan, mother. And tell me afterward if you still want to crush him. I actually wanted to keep this from you, seeing the two of them are at peace now, living a happy and contented life. But I guess this was what's supposed to happen. Because of your constant prying…”

”Cut the crap Thom, you know I hate vague words like that! What are you trying to say?!” Old Madam Liu snarled.

At that moment, Senior Liu's secretary arrived with the documents Senior Liu asked him to bring. Senior Liu took them from him and show them to his mother.

Old Madam Liu reluctantly took the documents from her son and looked into them. The more she read, the more her eyes widened. After reading everything, her knees weakened, and she almost fell onto the floor but was caught quickly by her son.
