Archie Sumrs’s eyes were filled with a vicious light. He spoke in a low, heavy voice, "Tristan Grayson, you’d better not play any gas with ..."
His naive little sister might be willing to be deceived by a man like Tristan, but he would never allow it. If he dared to hurt Mika again for so woman he shouldn’t be protecting, then he wouldn’t mind personally getting rid of that woman...
"You’re taking things too seriously, Mr. Sumrs. From now on, we’re family."
In response to Tristan Grayson’s humorless smile, Archie Sumrs just snorted coldly. He turned to Mika, who was in the hospital bed, and said softly, "Mika, you just focus on getting well. Once you’re discharged, I’ll co to take you ho to see Mom and Dad."
"Okay, I know."
Archie Sumrs nodded. He raised a hand to straighten his collar, then turned and slowly walked toward Tristan Grayson, stopping just short of bumping into him. A wicked smile touched his lips as he lowered his voice. "Young Master Grayson is right. From now on, we’re family. Oh, and by the way, I bet Young Master Grayson isn’t aware, but I’ve acquired thirty-five percent of LK Company’s shares. They’re all under my na now. So, whether it’s business or personal, we truly are one big family."
His words made Tristan Grayson freeze, and his hands at his sides involuntarily clenched into tight fists.
Archie Sumrs was very satisfied with Tristan Grayson’s expression. He took a step back, looked at the ring on his finger, and continued, "I look forward to a pleasant partnership with you, Young Master Grayson!"
"Heh... I hope you can maintain this confidence of yours indefinitely, Mr. Sumrs." ’He couldn’t believe it. He’d only been away from the office for a few days, and Archie Sumrs had already acquired thirty-five percent of the company’s stock.’
"I’ve always been plenty confident. It’s you who’s looking a bit unsure of yourself, Young Master Grayson. Tsk, tsk." With that, Archie Sumrs left with a provocative smile on his face.
The mont Archie Sumrs left, Tristan Grayson swung around and slamd his fist into the wall behind him.
A cold shiver ran through Mika Sumrs when she saw Tristan Grayson’s reaction. ’What on earth did my brother just say to Tristan? Why is he so furious?’
Tristan Grayson saw her face turn deathly pale as she stared at him anxiously. He had no choice but to rein in his anger so he wouldn’t scare her again.
Still, he couldn’t just swallow his anger. He finally managed to force out a single, cold sentence, "You’ve got a great brother..."
"Yes, I do. My brother’s always doted on the most, ever since we were little." ’She didn’t understand why Tristan would say that, but it was the truth. She did have a great brother.’
Hearing this woman not only fail to detect his sarcasm but actually go along with it, Tristan Grayson was overco with a fresh wave of anger. He frowned, his tone laced with jealousy as he retorted, "The most?" ’Does *my* woman need anyone else to dote on her?’
"Mhm..." She nodded, sowhat bewildered.
"Heh... *My* woman doesn’t need anyone else doting on her. From now on, you will see less of your brother." ’Half the company almost belongs to soone else now, how could he not be furious? He would get even for this. He’d make Archie pay it all back, double!’
"Why?" ’He’s my own brother. Am I not allowed to see my own brother anymore?’
"There is no ’why.’ You’ll do as I say, and that’s that," Tristan Grayson said impatiently. He walked to the edge of the bed and sat down. Seeing her reluctant expression, an idea seed to strike him, and his thin lips suddenly curled into a smirk. "Also, I just rembered. It seems we are indeed missing sothing." ’Wants to leave ? Wants a divorce? In her dreams. As long as I don’t give the word, as long as I don’t say it’s over, this will never, ever be over...’
Mika Sumrs’s heart began to pound uncontrollably. Filled with apprehension, she looked at Tristan Grayson uneasily. "What is it?"
