Captive Hearts: The Tycoon's Ugly Bride

Chapter 64 Still Alive

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.

"You're so disappointing. Using the company's losses to fill your own pockets. Don't forget that you're also a member of the Herbart family. From now on, you don't need to manage Dynasty

Enterprises. Hand over all its Enterprises' business to the Group. You will go overseas to study, and you are not allowed to return without my permission."

"What? No! Dynasty Enterprises is my life's work and cannot be taken away by anyone," Wilburn said emotionally.

If Dynasty Enterprises' business was taken away, he would be rendered useless and could never achieve his ambitions.

"Henry, say something for me. I can't lose Dynasty Enterprises." Wilburn cast a hopeful look at his son.

Ever since he came in, Henry had been leaning against the wall, looking unconcerned, while he was kneeling there.

Henry glanced at Viola and blinked without saying a word. Nôvel(D)rama.Org's content.

"You're wrong. Dynasty Enterprises is your father's and my lifetime effort. Ever since you took over, its business has been declining. It's time to take it back and reorganize."

Viola stood up, saying, "Book a plane ticket for Wilburn. He'll leave tonight. Get up, go back, and pack your luggage."

Viola's decision was final and not open for rebuttal.

Half a while later, Wilburn stood up like a deflated balloon, his hateful gaze locked on Louis.

"Hmph, boy, are you satisfied now? I'm a senior to you. Do you really think you can swallow my things?"

Louis curled his lips indifferently and snorted lightly.

"Did you consider me as your nephew when you pulled the gun? If you had, none of this would have happened. By the way, you're the one who should feel satisfied. If you hadn't reported the matter to my grandpa, I would have taken your life instead of just your company."

"You..." Wilburn was rendered speechless. This kid had learned about everything.

After Louis escaped, Wilburn immediately found the old lady to confess his mistake, because he knew what kind of person Louis was. Once he turned ruthless, he would disown even his kin. And if he was offended, he would not stop until he got his revenge.

He really regretted that his shot had missed its mark, the nephew he hated to the core.

When Louis took a few steps forward, Henry came over and stood beside him, still unconcerned.

"He even presented evidence to deprive me of everything."

"At least he still has his life."

...

When Louis returned home, Blanche was already being taken care of by a doctor and had been bandaged up.

She sat in front of the mirror, checked the gauze on her face, and said to Erin over the phone, "Treat me to dinner tomorrow? To repay me for saving you at the bar. It's okay."

Blanche frowned. With such a large piece of gauze on her face, she didn't want to go out and make Erin worry.

"Come on! I'm not looking down on you. I just have to work on my designs at home. Enjoy your meal."
