Chapter 910: You Should Have Been Banished from the Pace Family Long Ago

Boris shook his head in panic. Even a fool would know why he had come here.

Ruud stepped forward, grabbed Boris by the collar, and glared at him with piercing eyes that radiated authority. "You're the one who gave River the recording device!"

Boris, now caught by Ruud's grip and facing his enraged, predatory stare, broke into a cold sweat. Terror filled his face as he stammered, "I was wrong! I... I just lost my head for a moment! Ruud, please let me go..." Faced with Ruud, he didn't even dare to lie. A single false word could lead to his ruin.

He should never have stepped foot into the Pace family's surveillance room. If he hadn't come, they wouldn't have caught him so quickly. It was his failure to heed the warnings that had brought him to this point-walking straight into a trap. Alina strolled over, her demeanor calm and composed. She looked Boris in the eye and asked, "Besides the recording device, what else did you give to River?"

Boris's gaze flickered with guilt. He hadn't expected Alina to guess so accurately.

Before he could respond, a heavy fist slammed into his cheek, leaving the right side of his face completely numb. He reached up to touch his mouth and found blood. His legs began to tremble.

Ruud's voice was cold and threatening, as though he was ready to deliver another punch at any moment. "Alina asked you something! Answer her!"

Boris winced in pain and stammered, his voice quivering, "I... I also gave her a video recording device..."

His eyes pleaded with Ruud as he endured the pain radiating from his cheek. Tears welled up as he begged, "Please, don't tell Dad about this! If he finds out, he'll kick me out of the family. I don't want to leave the Pace family!" Ruud tightened his grip on Boris's collar, his expression icy and his strength unrelenting. "You should have been banished from the Pace family long ago!"

Boris looked up in disbelief, staring at Ruud as though something inside him had snapped. His eyes turned bloodshot, burning with hatred. "Why? We're both sons of the Pace family! What gives you the right to drive me out? Over the past few years, while you and Edwin were away, I've been the one managing everything in this family! I'm the one who's contributed the most, not you!"

"So what if you're General Praevion? Without me keeping things in order back home, could you have pursued your ambitions without worry?"

Ruud's face darkened, and the air around him seemed to grow colder. He glared at Boris with a murderous intensity. "You dare bring that up? Do you really think I don't know you drugged Dad? If it weren't for him pleading on your behalf, I would've dealt with you long ago."

time, Boris had intentionally brought up Spectre. Ruud hadn't been home and didn't know that Spectre was Tina. It was Jared who revealed the truth to him.
