" Enough of your nonsense! ” Elizabeth stood up, slamming her own fists on the table, growling in response." Take your dirty a** out of my house. I am not going to tolerate any more harassment. ”
" Harassment? You are the one harassing me, Lizzy! How dare you cut off all my cards at once. You blocked and froze all my accounts. I couldn't even pay for my drinks! ” Mr.Cole staggered forward.
On cue from Elizabeth, male butlers jumped forward and held back Mr.Cole, restraining his arms. It only aggravated his violence and he jumped up and down as they held him back.
" What are you doing, Elizabeth? I am your husband! " He shrieked on top of his voice. Jake stared at the man, in his exquisite suit, a boot that might have cost a fortune. He kept staring and wondering what difference was there between this man, supposedly his biological father who gave him away at birth, and the father he had grown up with, also a drunk head but with worn out slippers and tattered clothes. No that Jake pondered over it, all he had missed was a mother's love. He found no difference between Mr.Cole and his old man.
" Not for long! I should have never married you in the first place! ” Elizabeth snorted back. " You will have access to nothing. I am already talking with my lawyers. I will make sure you receive nothing. Not even from my father's inheritance. "
Mr.Cole wasn't that drunk after all. He looked at Elizabeth with disbelief. " What are you talking about, Lizzy? ”
" I am finalising divorce. My lawyers are on their way. If you want to pick your stuffs, take the maid and get everything packed. You will not get another chance to come strolling in my mansion. " Elizabeth let him know in a matter of the fact, manner.
" Are you out of your mind, Lizzy? You cannot divorce me all of a sudden. We spent years together. " His voice was reduced to a whimper. But Elizabeth was unfazed. "Years of deciet and lies and what not!Now get out.I cannot stand the sight of you any longer. "
Mr. Cole steadied himself. He took in a couple of deep breaths. " Alright, Lizzy! I get it! You are still mad at me. I will see you in the office tomorrow! I will take my leave for the night! "
" You are unwelcome at my workplace. You will lose access to all my companies and all your shares will also be confiscated! I am not going to repeat this. ” This time around the look in Mr.Cole's eyes turned devilish. " You cannot do that to me. Even if you divorce me, I am entitled to my shares in all the companies. You have no authority... ”
" The hell I do! You should be grateful I am not pressing any charges upon you. What you did was a criminal offence and we have enough proof. You are in no position to threaten me will legal action. ” Elizabeth almost smirked. It had started as something else but it had quickly escelerated into fight of might. Elizabeth was establishing her dominance and she was actually enjoying it.
" You b*tch! " Mr.Cole murmured unde this breath.
" What did you just call me? " It didn't miss Elizabeth's sharp ears.
" I called you a bitch! And that's what you are. A bitch and a whore. You are nothing more than that without your family's money. " He was seething. All the veil of courtesy and so-called affection, lifted. " You shouldn't have married me? I shouldn't have bothered to bear your dirt Elizabeth. It was your grandfather who had come begging me to marry you since none of your other suitors would marry you because of your scandalous affairs! ”
" What madness is this? ” Elizabeth looked at Marissa with shock and then back at her children. " What is this man spewing? Guards! " Elizabeth yelled. " Get him out of here. Right now! "
The security barged in holding Mr.Cole down with a twizer. He didn't protest. He smirked. He smirked as they pinned him to the ground. He looked at Jake, then Phill and said, "You are just going to sit there and watch your father get humiliated, just because that bitch has all the money? "
Phill shrugged and looked at Mercy, " Technically we cannot intervene untill we get our test results? " They exchanged a smirk.
" What? " Mr.Cole barked.
" DNA tests. They are pending in the lab. Didn't you say you had your doubts about me and Mercy as well? We thought about getting it checked. Till then, we cannot claim you as our father. " The siblings exchanged a sky smirk.
Mr. Cole immediately went back to his original target, Elizabeth. " So, you are the saint and I am the villain, here? Is that how you brainwashed them? Very well. If we are going to dig up our pasts, let me dig your grave as well. Do they know about the Sully Builders? ”
All eyes immediately turned towards Elizabeth. It seemed her face unnaturally lost all colours and her eyes locked onto Mr. Cole. There was pin drop silence.
" Sully Builders? I think I heard that name somewhere! " It was Mercy who finally broke the silence.
" You did? Perhaps because it took your grandfather years to suppress their death and disappearance and make it pass as an accident. Not to mention the effort that went into usurping the entire company! " Mr. Cole stood up from the floor, dusting his hands. Thr security did nothing this time because of Elizabeth's signal.
" What are you trying to get at with this? Don't dig up ghosts that you can't fight! ” Elizabeth's voice was shrill but calm.
" Oh, Lizzy! I am just trying to strike a balance in the family. The kids must know they don't just have a terrible father, they got a murderer for a mother as well."
" What? " Mercy almost fell from her chair.
" Yes , my little girl! Your mother annihilated everyone in the Sully bloodline so she and your wreched grandfather, could usurp their company! " Mr.Cole looked very pleased and satisfied with the look of horror on all their face.
