Chapter 180 Cassius’s Threat

Cassius lowered his voice and said coldly, “It’s not up to you to decide now. There are a lot of thingswaiting to be dealt with in the Walpole Group. You don’t have the time to care about the TV series rightnow.”

He ignored Gustave’s objection and replied to Cyrus, “I will cancel the cooperation with Aleena, and thedocuments will be sent to you soon.

“It’s just a trivial matter. Please tell Mr. Gallard that he doesn’t need to take it to heart. After all, my sonhad caused him a lot of trouble before.”

Cassius was a tactful person. He took advantage of it to give Avery a favor. At the same time, Gustavecould stop thinking about it, and Darlene would think that Gustave had given up her things.

Gustave’s expression was tense. “You have no right to make decisions for the

collaboration I have made.”

Cassius sneered, “It’s you who made it, but that film company belongs to the Walpole

Group.

“You are not the president now. Apart from changing an actress, I can even dismiss all the actors anddirectors that you have chosen and that film company.”

Cassius took a step closer and looked at Gustave coldly, saying, “I have reminded you

that a man is nothing without power.

“You don’t want your company and power, so you have no right to decide anything.

“Don’t blame me for being cruel. If you want your mother to be well, you have to listen

to me from now on.”

Gustave looked at him and sneered, “You threaten me with your wife, treating her as a bargaining chip.That’s ridiculous.”

Cassius looked angry since Gustave had pointed out the truth. “I don’t have time to argue with you aboutthese meaningless questions. If not for you being too disappointing, I wouldn’t have done such a thingtoday.

“I won’t beat around the bush with you. I can let your mother go back with you and let you leave thisplace.

“But you have to admit to Avery and the Gallard Group that it was Darlene who seduced you during thisperiod. It was Darlene who was corrupted in character. You promise that you will keep a distance fromher from now on. In that case, things will be settled.”

This way, Andrew would be satisfied. Andrew could persuade Avery to give up on Darlene and chase heraway from the Gallard family.

If Andrew was satisfied, he would naturally forgive what Gustave had done before.

The Walpole family would have nothing to do with all those things.

During this period, because of Darlene, the Gallard family and the Walpole family had been opposingeach other, and both sides had secretly suffered a lot of losses.

Cassius and Andrew hoped that these matters could be resolved as soon as possible.

Gustave laughed and did not hesitate for a moment. “No way.”

Cassius was so angry that he asked the maid to hand him a club. He held it in his hand and approachedCatalina, who was in the corner.

Gustave looked at him and his eyes were red. “If you dare to do it, my mother and I have nothing to dowith you and the Walpole family from now on. Cassius, I will do what I say today!”

Catalina, who was in the corner, was frightened. She shrank back several times and screameddesperately, “Help! Help!”

Cassius just meant to scare Gustave and make him agree in a hurry.

Hearing Gustave’s words, he turned around in disbelief. “What did you say?”

Gustave’s eyes were cold. “You are not even worthy of being a father and a husband. I’m

really ashamed of you.”

“Bastard! You unfilial son!” Cassius was so angry that he trembled. He took a few steps forward and hitGustave on the back with the club.

“Why did I have such a disobedient child like you? Let me tell you. You have no other choice but to agreeto apologize to the Gallard family. You have to cut off all ties with that woman. Then everything will stophere!”

The club hit Gustave’s back as if it had directly hit the bone, and a harsh muffled sound

was heard.

Gustave leaned forward, and Cassius hit his back again. Cold sweat appeared on Gustave’s forehead,but he wouldn’t give in. “No way.”

Catalina crawled over in horror. “Don’t hit my son. Go away. Don’t hit him.”

Gustave raised his head. His face was pale, but his eyes were cold. “Mom, don’t be afraid. Just treat himas a beast. As long as I am still alive here, he won’t be able to hurt

you.”

Catalina was so scared that she cried, and then was dragged back to the corner by the bodyguard. Shewas so anxious that she slapped the wall beside her, thinking that she was slapping the door. “Is thereanyone? Help!”

Cassius was holding the club, and his hand was trembling. He failed to hold the club

firmly. Finally, he made up his mind and hit Gustave hard.

“Good, I am a beast! You and your mother are united. The Walpole family has been

working hard for so many years, but you just want to ruin it. I’m telling you that it’s

impossible!

“Today, unless you give up and do as I say, you and your mother can not leave here no

matter what. I’d like to see how stubborn you are!”

The butler could not stand it anymore. If Gustave were not strong because of practicing

boxing, he would have been hurt badly.

He went over and tried to persuade Cassius carefully, “Mr. Cassius, you can’t continue

to beat like this. You should talk about it in peace.”

Cassius said angrily, “Talk about it? I’ve been talking to him for a long time.

“Now that Ricky, who is disappointing, has become a temporary president, he has

messed up the company. My son can’t do it again! All of you, get out of here. I will make him give intoday!”

In Southwood Villa…

After Cyrus called Aleena, she came over the next morning.

When Cyrus came to the bedroom to knock on the door, Avery had just woken up.

Darlene had been unconscious the whole night and had not woken up. Avery lay beside her and wantedto get closer to her. However, he was afraid that he would wake her up and make her unhappy.

That was why he had been keeping a distance from her carefully the entire night. He did not sleep welland woke up before dawn. When he woke up, his body was so stiff and

sore.

Cyrus’s lowered voice came in from outside, “Mr. Gallard, Aleena has arrived. She is in the living roomdownstairs. She said that if it is convenient, she hopes to see Mrs. Gallard.”

Aleena just meant to come to see Darlene. As for the so–called cooperation with Avery, it was just anexcuse to enter this house.

After Avery was ready and came out of the bedroom, he had a disdainful expression on his face. Hethought, Aleena is just an important actress, so she came so early in the morning after obtaining such anopportunity.

However, since she is chosen by Darlene, I will give her the chance.

When Avery went downstairs, Aleena, who was supposed to be standing there respectfully and waitingfor him, was currently sitting on the sofa in the living room, drinking coffee with a face full of impatience.

As Avery walked over, Aleena did not even look at him. She immediately stood up and looked behindhim. “Where is Darlene? Let’s get it straight. Let go of Darlene, and I won’t cooperate with you. I havealready called the police.”
