Chapter 111: Chapter 111 : Charmed

When Victor entered the dining room, the meal had already started. It seems the maid has delayed informing him and Lara on purpose.
His father was leisurely sitting at the head of the table with George standing behind him.
On the left side, His stepmothers were seated in order with their younger sons Luke and John who were staring daggers at Victor.
Lara who was pouting seemed to have found her place near his mother. Someone has probably scolded her for being late. His mother, Elena, looked at him entering the dining room with a smile. Her face was much more relaxed than the last time he saw her.

On the other side of the table, The first seat was occupied by Falcon who seemed to have chosen to be a guest at Theodore’s house after meeting him yesterday at the main hall.

The Second seat was empty, it was reserved for Victor, as the seats were ordered by the family’s ranks.

His brother Rex was seated on the next seat with his girlfriend by his side. The mark of Lily’s slaps was not visible on her cheeks anymore. They were covered by the trace of three new slaps. She must have offended someone else.

After that, the nervous Iris was sitting next to Zoe who was looking around at the table. They never had such diverse kinds of foods where she came from. She wouldn’t even consider some of their food. But they looked delicious.

“Sorry I am late, I had to educate a naughty maid,” Victor said casually as he entered the room then smiled at his mother and the girls.

“It was him, husband, him, and that bitch. They hit me.” Rex’s girlfriend yelled suddenly as she pointed at Victor and Lily.

Theodore only frowned and looked at Rex, who quickly pulled his girlfriend then whispered something in her ear making her shrink her neck and shut up. Rex knew his girlfriend well, she must have tried to boss his half brother around and got what she deserved.

As her husband, no matter what she did, he felt responsible to take revenge for her. But Victor’s position in the family far outstrips his. So he could do nothing directly. Maybe he would take revenge on Lara when he guides her later.

Victor quickly found his seat and sat down, as Lily stood behind him respectfully helping him get seated. Victor wanted her to sit with him but this was still not the right time.

“How dare you be late? You should apologize sincerely and greet us before sitting at the table.” His First mother scolded him as she pointed at him. He didn’t reply, just gave his dish to Lily who proceeded to fill it up.

His action made Marta angry. “How dare you Ignore me like that?” she asked, “Husband, say something.” She said as she turned to Theodore who had just finished chewing a piece of toast. But before he could say something, Victor beat him to it.

“You are the one who should greet me. I am now an elite heir. How dare you stay seated when I entered the room? Don’t you know that I can flog you for that? If it were not for my esteemed father's presence I would have punished you.” Victor said proudly, before taking a deep breath and adding “Not only did you not appreciate my kindness, you also want this young master to apologize? I already said sorry? What do you want me to do more than that? crawl under your feet? Who do you think you are?” Victor said, spraying saliva at his mother’s face and dish as he shouted, making his brothers frown. Especially Rex, whose mother was being scolded.

Lily quickly used a handkerchief to wipe her young master’s mouth as Theodore chuckled.

“He is right Marta, it’s your fault this time,” Theodore said with a sigh,
Yesterday he heard from the patriarch that his mother, Ann, had approved of giving Aria to Victor, which made him very relieved, and somewhat pleased. His rebellious son who hid deeply before was showing his true color. Not bad at all. On the other hand, his wives need some education every now and then, or they would think that they own the entire world. It would be better if Marta was put in her place before Luna gets here.

Marta gritted her teeth and then chose to ignore Victor completely. As for Elena, she was astonished by her son’s temper. “Is this really my son! When did he grow a pair of balls? And is that quiet girl the maid Lily who talks to me all the time?“ she wondered.

Luke and John frowned, not knowing how to act. They just looked at Victor and then inspected Lily, who was still wearing her veil. She had pretty eyes. Too bad they couldn’t see her face clearly. Maybe they should find a chance later to punish her.

Theodore noticed the perverted look in his son's eyes but said nothing. Living with pretty maids without touching them was part of the family’s training. It helps with both discipline and apparently bloodline awakening.
Thankfully Lily wore a veil, A dose of her breathtaking beauty was not something that those two virgin boys of his can handle, They would probably lose their minds and virginity the moment they see her.

Iris and Zoe smiled a little at Victor, and inspected Lily silently but said nothing. Zoe really liked how Victor yelled at that nasty woman, she wanted to do the same when the little girl, Lara, was being scolded but Falcon’s stern eyes warned her not to. “He is so manly.” she thought.

“Let’s continue our meal,” Theodore said after a little cough then ate another bite of his jam-covered toast before slowly turning to Lara who was having difficulty hiding her smile after Victor scolded the first mother.

“How is your proficiency with the family art, Lara?” Theodore asked,
“Ah…..It’s…. It is getting better.” She said after remembering what her big brother told her.

“Good. You must work hard, your ceremony is nearing,” He said, then turned to his other two sons, “The same goes for both of you, you should be ready next year. I expect you to do the same as Victor and surprise us all.” He said.

“Don’t worry father, I will guide them well,” Rex said, as he looked at Lara with a knowing smile.

“Yes, you did well with Lara. Too bad your potential was not that great.” Theodore said. The more player sons he had the better his position in the family.

“Father, about Susu, can I marry her?” Rex took the chance to ask.

“Mmm.” Theodore pondered as he looked at her. He really didn’t like this chick.

“Are you sure she is fit for you? Accepting her as a concubine wouldn’t be a problem.” Theodore asked with a pondering look wondering why did Rex choose such a woman, Victor also did the same. This slut was not anything special.

“Ah, She must be my main wife. I fell in love with her at first sight.” Rex said with a fascinated look in his eyes, making Victor want to puke. Then stop, and activate his inspection skill on both of them.
