Chapter 162: Chapter 161 : Confessions in the Night

Elena was a little amused that her son allowed his servants to have dinner with them at the same table… She was not upset, on the contrary. She hated the rigid protocols in the family. And like eating with others regardless of their status.

Most of those girls would probably enter her son’s harem anyway if they were not already there. She could tell from the yearning looks in their eyes when they looked at him… Including that man dressing in a maid uniform… Why was he here again? Did her son have some weird fetishes that she didn’t know about?

Looking at Lara, Elena was surprised to see that she was enjoying playing the big sister to that little girl, who seemed to be a little annoyed for being bossed around… Should she try to get her a real younger sister… that pervert Theodore was a little busy lately though…

“Mother…. Lara told me that you want to go visit your parent’s house…” Victor suddenly asked…

“Ah… Yes… I didn't tell you about your grandparents before…. You see, when I married your father, it was very sudden… Back then your grandfather wanted me to marry the only grandson of his late army colleague. You see, that man sacrificed his life to save your grandfather in some battle… So your grandfather always felt indebted to him. So after returning home and working his way from poverty to riches, he took care of that man’s offspring, he wanted our families to unite … But …. But I didn’t like the groom… He was a little ugly… So I ran away from home.” His mother said with a light blush… She really acted like a spoiled brat back then…

“Those were dark days…. As a spoiled girl, I didn’t know how to survive outside…. I got scammed into working as a … Model…. Life was tough… Then, luck smiled upon me when I met your father. He saved me from the clutches of an evil man… I fell in love. Then I got pregnant, and had to marry Theodore and move to the island after your big sister was born… I tried to contact my father back then, but after hearing that I got married, he hung up immediately calling me ungrateful and that I am no longer his daughter…He no longer answered my calls… My mother seemed to share his view, I couldn’t even tell them who I married to because they didn’t even listen…” Elena complained with a sigh… “However, I still miss my parents. I need to go visit them… It has already been 22 years… I didn’t leave the island before because you kids were still young and I couldn’t leave you alone with your step-mothers.… and your father was against me leaving the island… But now, there is a chance.” She said with a yearn voice.

Victor nodded... His grandfather was not bad, just a little stubborn… His grandmother was a little vain and snobbish but still manageable. The problem was his three greedy maternal uncles and aunt…
In his previous life, after he was kicked out of the family, his mother instructed him to go visit them and ask for some help.
That didn’t go well.
His grandparents wanted to help him a little, and maybe give him a manager job. But their sons and daughter convinced them otherwise… saying that he came here to scam their money and give it to his father who stole Elena.
In the end, his grandfather gave him a job as a security guard at a family restaurant. Earning just enough to stay alive.
Too Bad that after his grandfather's death a year later, his uncles not only kicked him out but also framed him and got the police to arrest him… Fortunately, his sister sent Kai to help him run away.

“Brother… Are you sure you are not really sick? You keep zoning out…” Lara said after she ordered El to swap the vegetables for the meat in the latter's dish…

“Yah….I am fine…” Victor said, “I have school tomorrow and the day after… How about I take you to see them after three days? I wish to meet them…. Where do my grandparents live again?” He asked his mother casually, pretending not to know.

“Ah… In a town a few miles west of here…They own a hotel and a series of restaurants there.” Elena said with a smile. She never expected her son to escort her himself, Her older son and daughter were a little distant from her. They got that way after the ceremony, as they had many family responsibilities… Why is Victor so carefree?

“Don’t you have a company to run?” She asked him.

“Oh… I leave all the business to Aria, she is better than me at that. I just want to relax and enjoy life.” He said casually, making her mother shake her head. Her son inherited a lot from his father. But that’s better than being like her workaholic eldest daughter…

“By the way, tomorrow we will go have dinner outside… Father wants to introduce you to his new wife.” Victor suddenly said, changing the subject.

“Wife? Did one of his mistresses give birth to an heir?” Elena asked with some annoyance…

“Not yet, Luna is pregnant…. but father really likes her, and wants to declare her as a wife no matter what… She is a really nice woman… I hope you can give her a chance.” Victor said he really hopes they become friends.

“Ohh…. Fine…. But I need to go shopping in the morning… Since you have school, how about I take Lily with me?” She asked.

“Lily has to go to school with me….. You can take Alex, and I will call Iris and tell her to accompany you. Father gave her all of the family’s malls around here.” Victor said, making Elena nod and Look around following her son’s line of sight to see who Alex was…. It was that skirt-wearing guy… He was smiling stupidly at her….. She really didn’t like him at all… Does he have to dress like a maid?

“Will he be dressed like that tomorrow?” Elena had to ask.

“No... He just has this hobby here at home.” Victor replied casually, causing Alex to almost burst into tears… Wasn’t her young master the one who ordered her to dress like this? When did it become her hobby? Should she deactivate the gender-swapping ring again? No… The way he looked at her when she did that a few days ago was too perverted… What if he wanted her to sleep with him? Or with someone else…..

“Can I come and take little El too?” Lara suddenly asked.

“Don’t you have your training?” Elena asked... “You promised your father not to slack off.” She added,

“It’s ok… I already tested her, she is doing fine.” Victor said, “Let her go and have fun… I will also send a few guards with you… And Theta... You go with them.” Victor said, pointing to Theta, making Elena sigh as she looked at her.
She didn’t examine this one before, she was young… But compared to El, her age was not a problem… And she didn’t notice this before, but the air around her was not that of a maid… This girl definitely had a story. And what kind of name was Theta anyway? She didn’t care enough to ask.
…

After dinner, Victor joined his mother for some random talks in the living room about his life in the city.
Then it was time to sleep.

Lara wanted to sleep with her Esteemed older brother, but Elena, who decided not to expose her daughter to her brother’s nightlife, dragged her away…
She noticed that the room he chose for them was a little far away from his room. At least he had some decency.

El was dragged away too, as Lara never let her go. She was her new doll who didn’t dare to resist after seeing the threatening look in Hilda’s eyes… At least she would be spared from doing the dishes tonight.
…

Margret pulled the bamboo-armed chair, then sat on it, as the twins passed around some refreshments to the girls.

"Let's get on with this… why did you invite us here… I could have been long asleep in the young master's embrace by now." She bragged to Alpha who was sitting opposite her with Theta and Alex by her sides.

"You can do that later.We need to talk." Alpha,, who didn’t care said. "You two sit down too." She turned to the twins and said in a commanding tone that they couldn't resist.

"You want to discuss what the young master told us two days ago?" Margret asked.

"Yes, We all had the chance to think it over…What do you think?" Alpha said. "Are you really ok with someone manipulating your fate? For all I know, The young master was telling the truth. But everything, I had the feeling that he was hiding some things and lying about others. But I couldn’t tell exactly what!” Alpha said.

Margret sighed, She expected this.
“I don’t care…You met my cousins. What future could I expect for myself if I didn’t meet the young master? We are all clear… And he gave me a choice after all……” She added. “Shouldn’t Lily be with us for this?” She asked.

“No… Lily is different. She wouldn’t care even if Victor told her to kill herself,” Alpha said, “Maybe it has something with him saving her life…. But this girl always gives me a strange feeling… It is as if she is of a superior breed ....” Alpha said with a frown, as she looked at the girls… Alex and Theta nodded. They had that feeling too.

“I didn’t feel a thing,” Margret stated. The Twins also shook their heads. Lily is a little possessive of her young master, but that’s it.

“Never mind that…. Mina, Mana…. What do you think… Are you upset that he manipulated you?” Alpha asked, instigating them.

“I…” Mina said, then looked at her sister who nodded…” We were upset at first…. And we've been discussing this for the last couple of days. But yesterday, we tried something. We monitored Tom at school and tried to have some….. Fantasies about him…”She said as she blushed…. “But strangely, we didn’t feel a thing. Just some disgust. In school we had such thoughts before, and…. we couldn’t sleep at all thinking about him all night.” She added with some embarrassment…making the rest of the girls open their eyes in shock

“It was as if we were brainwashed before. I can’t even imagine that I can like someone like Tom now! So we are really grateful to the young master.” Mana added, … “Is Tom aware of his effect?” She asked.

“Probably not… He might just be thinking that he is super hot…. Knowledge about scions is not common.” Alpha said…. “Well…For me, I am really upset that someone changed my destiny without my permission…. But there is nothing I can do about it…What’s done is done.” She confessed, making the girls a little conflicted as they understood her point. “What about you?” She asked Alex.

“I don’t mind, ” Alex said. “I think the young master meant us well.”...
No Kidding, she would have been assaulted by goblins otherwise. Some very straight goblins.

“Me too…. He saved my life after all… I think he is very good to us… And handsome” Theta said, making Alpha sigh… Those girls are a lost cause.

“I think the young master is planning for us to be the core of his team… That’s the reason he told us that… It also means that he trusts us. So we should trust him a little with this...”” Margret suddenly started, making the girls agree. Even Alpha had to nod reluctantly.

“Now we have something more important to discuss….” Margret said as she looked at Theta... “The bet a few days ago. I won, And you owe me $10000,” she said.

“Ahh… But you didn’t manage to put it in his pocket….” Theta complained.

“He put it there himself… He confessed to everyone in the school auditorium… “ She said. “You heard him, right?” She asked the twins.

“Are you talking about that…..Yes… He really did confess…” Mana replied with a blush.

“What did you bet on?” Alpha asked curiously, as Alex also tuned in.

“On whether I can put my panties in his pocket…. I won.” Margret said proudly, making Alpha confirm her guess… These girls were beyond redemption.

…

Oliver scratched his butt, then looked up at the moon, adjusting the backpack on his shoulder.
“Sorry, Zoe… You know that I can’t stay here. Not after the trouble, I caused at school. And that Charlotte… If only I was strong enough to kill her…” He said.

“I told you, you can join my family… Uncle Falcon had told me that we can go after Charlotte after the family's situation stabilizes…” She insisted as she looked at him with reluctant eyes.

“No… I wouldn't be a man if I did that… I can’t push my revenge onto a girl. “ He said… Adding Charlotte next to Lily on his revenge list… And that b*tch Katia… His former girlfriend and Lulu too. All of them were b*tches that he would kill when he returns….

“You still treat me as a stranger after all….” Zoe complained, Pouting.

“Not at all…. You will always be my number one… Don’t be sad…” He turned around and used his finger to wipe away a tear drop off her swollen cheek…

“Where are you going then?” She asked, looking him straight in the eye...

“The army is creating a players unit…I overheard the principal talking about it when I was sent to his office….. I will join them and be a man deserving of your love… See you.” He said as he ran into the night. Hiding his blushing face.

Zoe froze for a second "Was that a Confession?" She blushed as she looked at his departing figure… Still feeling the lingering warmth of his touch on her cheek… Wait, Wasn't he using that hand to scratch his butt all night?
