Their Villain, The Mogul's Beloved

“Mr. Perkins, please don’t get so worked up. The doctor said you must wild extreme anger, waard gently.

James had fought his way through a hail of bullets and mountains of corpses, forging a noted by temper. But after marrying Grace, he learned to restrain his temper, for fear of frysering ber

His married life with Grace was wonderful. They had three children. Before the accident happened, the family of five enjoyed a period of warm and happy times together.

Ever since that incident, the relationship between James and Yannis had changed. Yannis was no longer for little boy who would beg James to carry him on his shoulders,

After stepping down from his position a few years ago, James had mellowed out a bit while enjoying the retirement at home. Yet Yannis could always effortlessly ignite his fury.

Yannis looked over and said coldly, “This coffee table cost me 10 million. If you break it, you’ll pay for it” His lips, once tightly pressed, slowly relaxed as his eyes dropped, veiling a hint of inscrutable emotion.

The overhead light cast across his face, showing not the slightest trace of fear.

James snorted, “Like hell I’m paying you! Didn’t you just refuse the money Victor tried to transfer?”

James fumed, his anger caught between an outburst and surrender. He shot Yannis a fierce glare, but deep down, the tension in his heart quietly loosened. His hand trembled slightly, his knuckles turning white from the pressure.

“I don’t take handouts. But if you damage my property, you pay for it,” Yannis said coolly.

Then he picked up Zinnia’s unfinished glass of milk and took a sip. The sweetness of the milk washed away the bitterness in his throat. He added, “But since the table’s fine, let’s just drop it.”

Yannis felt the fury in his chest get stuck. Staring at Yannis, he thought, “This brat has changed a lot.

Victor watched as the flush slowly faded from James’s face and let out a quiet sigh of relief. He thought, ‘It takes Yannis to calm him down.

“Don’t you try to change the subject on me,” James said, his graying eyebrows shooting up.

Yannis downed the milk in one go. Then he shot James a look and said, “Aren’t you the one changing the subject? Just get to the point, old man. Zinnia is waiting for dinner.”
