Chapter 436 - Four Hundred And Thirty-six: The Vincent-3 (2/2)

The truth was that Erica had always been jealous of her sister, Cecil. Unlike them, Cecil had always been the free-spirited one amongst them - always doing what she loved notwithstanding their father's opinion.

Amid her mistakes, their father was always easy on her and seemed to grab the man's attention and fury without effort. Unlike her, who had to work her ass to impress her and get her father's attention.

”What are you doing?” Cecil was about to stop him, but he was already gone.

Erica took a step back when Emerald strode over to her with his towering height. For a moment there, with that dark look in his eyes, she had thought the giant would hit her or something. But to her utmost surprise, he simply reached for her hand and placed a card in it, gave her a long stare before heading over to Cecil's brow.

With furrowed brows, Erica fearfully glanced down at the card and her eyes almost popped out from shock.

Her lips trembled, ”H-hoe is this possible? You're the vice president….”

Cecil stared suspiciously at Emerald, what had he given to the proud Erica to make her this shocked.

As if sensing her inner turmoil, Emerald leaned down and whispered into her ears, ”Don't worry about a thing, your man is full of surprises,”

Cecil rolled her eyes, amused.

The truth was that apart from being in a mafia, Emerald was the vice president of whatever company Sakuzi made up for him. And yes, that was a real company.

In common people's eyes, they run a legitimate business - only a few knew the real business the Sakuzi's engaged in. Those legal businesses were just a front to cover up what they really did in the secret.

Emerald noticed the secret glance Vincent and Fernandez's passed each other and from that only, he surmised that the idiot might have told the old hag he was a gangster.

Fools, he laughed inwardly. If only Cecil would give him an order, he would eliminate them both in just one night. The world was better off without them anyway.

”That's enough!” Vincent boomed, ”Sit. All of you,”

Everyone obeyed.

Emerald sat directly across from Fernandez, their eyes meeting briefly before the son of a bastard looked away, while Pedro was sandwiched between his future father and mother. With that protective position, he knew they were protecting him from his creep of a father - not that he needed it, but thanks anyway.

”I'm sure you know why you are,” Vincent told her.

Cecil retorted, ”Quite funny because I wonder why I was summoned here,”

”Don't test my patience Cecil,” Vincent warned his daughter, who was slowly getting on his nerves.

”You were the one who invaded my personal space, father,” she said with heavy sarcasm, ”So If anyone here should be pissed, that should be,” She added, ”Now, why am I here, father?”
