Chapter 1371: I’ll Grant Your Wish Today
Thomas Fisher wouldn’t be driven to jump off a building by Autumn York and Athena Linton, but the two of them did manage to infuriate him to hopping mad. They secretly plotted a cliché drunken misadventure.
It would have been enough for them to plot this ridiculous scenario, but they even orchestrated a climactic scene where it was accidentally discovered by both families. However, the end result left them both very surprised and infuriated.
Autumn York spiked Thomas Fisher’s drink, but instead, it was mistakenly drunk by William Turner. Autumn and Athena weren’t aware of this because the two were busy decorating the hotel room at the time.
Unaware of the situation, one drank the spiked alcohol by mistake, while the other slept with the wrong man.
The next day when the misdeed was exposed, all three families fell into chaos, with the Linton Family being the most chaotic.
"Athena Linton! Is this how I raised you? How could you do such a disgraceful thing?" Michael Linton’s face turned pale with anger and he raised his hand to slap Athena, but Easton Holmes stopped him just in time.
Athena Linton was already in a bad mood from sleeping with the wrong person, and now being reprimanded by her father who even wanted to slap her, she felt even worse. She shouted towards her father in agitation, "If you’re embarrassed by me, just say it. I can..."
"Athena Linton! Shut up!"
Serena Zimmerman intervened just in time to stop Athena from speaking further, as she noticed Michael Linton’s face getting darker and his eyes filled with anger.
After shouting, she walked towards Athena and tried to pull her aside, but Athena didn’t cooperate at all and unknowingly agitated her furious father even more with her words, "Am I wrong? He is indeed embarrassed by me, embarrassed enough to disown me as his daughter. I’m not even..."
"You really are asking for it!"
As Athena spoke more out of line, Michael Linton, fueled by anger, shoved Easton Holmes aside and stormed towards her furiously.
Seeing this, Easton Holmes immediately chased after and tried to restrain his uncle once again, but was shaken off, "Don’t stop me. If this brat isn’t taught a lesson, she’ll just act out even more."
With that, he marched aggressively towards Athena and her mother.
"Go ahead, hit me. If you don’t beat me to death today, you’re not my father." Athena’s mood hit rock bottom, and facing the rage of Michael Linton, she felt like an over-inflated balloon, ready to burst at any moment.
Michael Linton was already seething with rage, and Athena’s words just added fuel to the fire. His fury was instantly ignited and spread throughout his body faster than a lightning bolt, "Brat! I’ll grant you your wish today."
His steps quickened, every stride fueled by anger.
"Yelling was enough, what’s the point of fighting the child?" Amelia Linton suddenly appeared in front of Michael, forcibly blocking his path.
Blinded by anger, Michael Linton pushed aside his sister who was obstructing him, "Today I’m fighting her, or she won’t understand..."
"Can you all calm down for a moment?"
Callix Linton, who had been silent all this while, suddenly spoke up, preventing the imminent beating. As he was seated on the couch, he had to look up at the few standing not far away, his face full of displeasure.
