"Stop being ridiculous and stay seated!" Azael rage. He angrily banged his fist into the dinner table
If the table wasn't sturdy enough, it would have been crushed already and spilled the dishes on it
Fortunately, everyone is aware of Azael's temper especially when he is with his only son. The servants with Landers as the head would not let a subpar quality dining table appear in this Manor
"Yes, that! That's more like it! That's how you usually react!" Azarel exclaimed while excitedly pointing a finger at his father
The older man took a deep breath first, trying to calm his nerves that his son never failed to agitate before speaking again
"It's almost Christmas, are you really not going to give this house some peace?" Azael questioned calmly, the previous immense anger that he has seemed to vanish and his son's eyes widened at that
"Oooh, I have never seen dad this calm before. Whatever bullet he would fire at you, I'm sure you'll enjoy it my dear brother" Hessy commented
Everyone in the Manor is aware of Azael's personality. For him to be this calm, surely, something is going to happen later
Azarel shrinks at his own seat while nudging Hessy with his elbow. "Help me escape later and I'll give you 5 no, 10 million!" He tried bribing his sister and Hessy's eyes immediately twinkled but still, he was more afraid of his father than his brother
"Depends on the situation. From the scale of 1-10, if the danger level is 8 and above, I would rather cherish my life" Hessy replied and Azarel can only purse his lips at that
This sister of his is someone that could almost do anything for the sake of money but when it comes to their father, she would fold
In the end, Azarel can only try to amuse himself by using his phone. He decided to cherish the little time he have left in this world
After a few more minutes, the last member of the family arrives
This woman has long black hair along with a pair of blue eyes. She's like the combination of his father and late mother and out of the three siblings, she was the oldest
Navier Lancaster wore a formal blue business attire from head to toe as if she was screaming that she is a businesswoman
"If it isn't my dear brother. Did you finally reach your 365 guys per year quota?" Navier ask in a mocking manner, clearly, she was trying to slut shame Azarel but that would not work
"I already fulfilled the quota long before Christmas. How about you, sister? Have you finally convinced dad, the people in the company, and the business partners into treating a woman and the boss's daughter seriously in the business industry?" Azarel questioned back in the same manner
The way he looks at her sister screams mockery
As expected, Navier's face contorted from anger. She looks as if she would throw punches at her own little brother any time from now
"You two, that's enough. We are all here to celebrate the holiday, why do you fight as soon as you saw each other?" Azael grumbled before he pointed at the seat opposite to his son's seat
Navier should be the one sitting at Azael's right since she was the eldest but because of her status as a woman, that seat belonged to her little brother
That always filled her with resentment. Evident in how she attacked Azarel as soon as she saw him
The atmosphere instantly turned sour. Azarel and Navier are like oil and water. Whenever the two of them are in the same place, chaos would follow suit
As such, to earn her some good points to her dad and have him give her more money, Hessy opened her mouth to make the atmosphere lighter
"Oh right, Azarel, since when did you come back? How was your stay abroad?" Hessy ask and the man shrugs his shoulders
"Only a few days and my stay there was fruitful. Since a certain someone here blocked my accounts to force me into curing my non-existent illness of homosexuality, I was forced to enter a foreign company. Climb the ladders and with my skills, I bought a large number of the company stocks and sold it. Now, I have my own capital to start the business that I want. I don't need to rely on a stinky old man that is in the same space as me"
Hessy almost stabbed her own brother. She was just casually asking questions to lighten the atmosphere but why is her idiot of a brother trying to attack their father?
Still feeling obligated to do something, Hessy spoke again to change the awkward atmosphere
"Ha... ha... hahaha, brother, you're really great. Not just anyone could start from scratch and become a major shareholder of a company!"
"Please, with my skills, that's to be expected, not something to be proud of" Azarel replied nonchalantly, not even thinking that he was boasting
"Who knows, he might have slept his way to the top. It's not hard to please those dirty old businessmen" Navier chimed in to smear her brother's achievement
"I only fuck handsome guys unlike you that are always getting fucked by dirty old men in your job" Azarel retorted and Navier glared at him
"Stop that you two. Navier, I monitored your brother. He really did start from scratch but he also applied the things I taught him to reach his goal. As expected of my son" Azael complimented
In his eyes, it should be Azarel, his only son that would excel in business and also inherit the Lancaster Fortune
His eldest daughter isn't that bad but he was an extremely old fashion and toxic man. Despite Navier's skills, he doesn't think that she has what it takes to lead the family legacy
Azarel let out a 'tsk' sound from annoyance. As much as he hates it, he really does have similarities with his father and that is doing whatever it takes to achieve their goals
Azarel naturally didn't achieve his goals cleanly. Although he was talented, he also use some dirty means whether that be blackmailing or pulling down a person with a position that he wants to obtain
