RHTMAV) Chapter 7 Part 2 (Patreon)

“Well?” Seeing how my good-for-nothing father was not answering, I questioned him again. But instead of an answer, he raised his hand, and with anger in his eyes, he slapped me across the face. I could have easily stopped him. The action was so slow that I could have danced around him ten times and returned to my normal position before it ever touched me but I didn’t move.

I could feel a slight stinging sensation on my face, but nothing more. It seemed my resistance to pain was very high now. “Heh. So this is your answer. From this moment on, you will need to fend for yourself. The salary you are getting for running the company will be the only thing you can get from now on. Since I am in charge of the house, the funds that are allotted by the estate lawyer to pay for everything every month, plus allowances, are now going to be put into a trust fund. Mr. Thatcher what ever father daughter relationship we had is now gone with that slap.”

“Wait! Noelle, I did that in a fit of anger.” The bastard reached out to stop me as I went to turn and leave. I quickly dodged his grasp and glared at him.

“Fit of anger, my ass. You hit me because your precious wife and daughter suffered due to trying to make my life miserable. Your daughter instigated her friend to slander me and ended up in the hospital. You are lucky I didn’t fucking kill her.

“You need to keep a leash on those two bitches before I really do kill them. Good dogs do not bite the hand that feeds them. Now that I am no longer willing to live under your oppression you better fucking keep your family in check. Always remember, I am the last of the Alastor name. You do not even have my mother’s last name nor did she ever take yours.” With these words, I turned and left. Luckily, the idiot seemed smart enough not to try to stop me again.

Weston's expression was not good. He had acted on impulse due to Noelle’s words. He hated how he had to suck up to a seventeen-year-old girl until everything was signed over. And only then could he finally act and take everything from her. But now, because of his own stupid impulse, he would need to work even harder. He had to regain the little bitches trust.

“If those idiots did not pick a fight with her for no reason…” Thinking of what his wife and daughter said and how Noelle was acting and just said to him, he was sure this all started with his daughter.

Angered to no end, he stomped off back towards the sitting room where his wife and daughter were sitting and talking as if nothing had just happened. “Maria! From now on you are to stay away from Noelle. Do not talk to her, look at her, or get any of your friends to confront her. If you do, you can forget about getting any money from me from now on. Because of your actions, I now have to work even harder to please the little bitch!”

“Why are you yelling at Maria? She didn’t do anything!” Linda did not like how her husband was now blaming her daughter.

“The same goes for you as well! If you ruin this for me, I will kick you both out of the house! You are not the only woman out there!” Weston looked at Linda coldly. She always spent so much money, but she never actually helped him with anything. She was like a pig on a farm. She ate, slept, and shit every single day, spending money like water. Once he gained the company, he could easily replace her with someone younger.

“What do you mean by that!?” Linda, who had always gotten her way until recently, couldn’t let Weston’s words slide. “Do you want to divorce me!?”

“If you do not start doing what I tell you then yes! Leave Noelle alone! When the time is right we will deal with things but you! You just promised me that you would behave yourself but what was the first thing you do!?”

I wonder if they know I can hear them with how much they are yelling. But hopefully this will allow me to live a more peaceful life for the next two weeks. I clicked the stop on my recorder pen. I will be able to head to Knight Global soon to do the innovation gathering. I just hope my idea will sell.

Once I have my own company and can begin manipulating stocks, I should be able to make my mother’s company go almost bankrupt. That is when I can swoop in and kick that bastard out. Since he has had control over the company for so long, it will be hard to win over the board. Only by making him look incompetent will I be able to gain the trust of the board members and finally take control.

I might be stepping on his toes quite early, but that is fine as well. It has given me a bit of a bonus reprieve thanks to Maria’s and her mother’s stupidity. Having this extra time will allow me to do many things.

I had just sat down on my bed when a knock came at my door. I couldn’t help but frown. Since I could tell who it was. I walked over and opened the door to my room and reached out with my hand, grabbing the person on the other side of it by the face and dragging her inside before closing my door.

“You did not seem to understand the words of leaving me alone.” My lips curled up as I looked at the fear in Maria’s face.

“Let go of me!” Maria tried to break my grasp, but instead, I just tossed her to the floor before placing my foot on her back, making sure she couldn’t get up.

“Maria, oh Maria. You seem to love delivering yourself to me. I do wonder are you a masochist?”
