Chapter 855: Leo Storms In

Ian's lips twitched as soon as he heard the news.

He knew it. Leo was coming to raise hell.

This damn Ruud-always stirring up trouble!

Ian rose from his seat, his glare cold and sharp as it landed on Ruud. "Are you just going to sit there, or are you going to handle this?"

Ruud calmly picked up a piece of meat with his chopsticks, unfazed. "Dad, I go by Ruud Brookes now," he said casually. "I'm your son, and a son's affairs are for his father to resolve." The audacity.

Ian almost choked on his own words.

Outside, Leo had been waiting impatiently for Ruud to show his face. When nobody came out, his temper boiled over. He kicked the door open and stormed in.

The sight that greeted him-Ruud calmly eating dinner as though nothing was amiss-nearly sent Leo into a fit.

"You ungrateful little brat!" Leo roared, his voice shaking the walls. "How dare you sit here, stuffing your face like nothing's wrong? Who gave you the right to change your name? What, is the Pace family so beneath you now that you had to abandon it? Do we mean that little to you?"

His fiery glare shifted to Ian before Ruud could even respond. "And you, Ian! You've got some nerve! You've got plenty of sons already, but you had to come poach mine? What, you think I'm too old to fight back?!"
