Chapter 769 The Arrival Of Tyrael
“Dad, what’s the matter with you? We can’t rush something like this. There’s nothing I can do when.Tyrael’s the one who refuses to come!”
Like his father, Callum was gloomy. He, too, had nowhere to vent his anger, yet he had to listen toNicholas’ chiding once he was home.
Urgh, where did that bastard Yates go? Once he returns, I’m definitely going to give him a beating torelieve some
anger.
Again, David’s cursing came from the room, and Nicholas became even more irritated. Tyrael hadrefused to come, and David’s groin was rotting much faster than he thought it would. Is this really theend of the Leighton family?
Right then. Callum leaned toward Nicholas and whispered, “Dad, why don’t we run now?”
Just as Callum’s words left his mouth, the latter slapped him. It was a slap so hard that Nicholashimself even staggered to his feet..
“How did I birth a son as useless as you? You can’t even get Dr. Skyworth to come here, and all youcan think about is running away. You’re nothing but a piece of trash!”
Callum pressed his hand on his aching cheek and whined. “Dad, how can you blame this on me? Dr.Skyworth never liked David. It’s normal that he doesn’t want to come and save him! Moreover, thedeadline is nearing. If we don’t run now, we’re going to be sitting ducks!”
Hearing those words, Nicholas began shaking with rage. This eldest son of mine is truly good-for-nothing! He only knows to escape whenever he encounters any major problem. Calling himirresponsible would only be an understatement!
At that thought, he smacked his palm on the table, jabbed a finger in Callum’s face, and berated,“You’re so stupid! Do you think we can outrun him if we flee now? No matter where we go. David willfind us! When that happens, not only will we not be able to protect the Leighton family from a decline,but we might even lose our lives!”
Once he heard what his father said, Callum’s mind went blank. He slumped onto the table asdesolation crashed into him. The only hope he had was that David would be merciful enough to sparetheir lives.novelbin
Nicholas nearly bellowed in anger when he saw his son’s actions. Previously, when he promised thatwhoever solved the crisis would become the chairman of Leighton Pharmaceutical, he had not plannedon letting Yates take up the role. Instead, he had wanted to force Callum to fix his attitude. Yet, to hisdismay, his eldest son turned out to be such a flighty person.
The finger that Nicholas had pointed at Callum’s face shook, and he snapped, “This crisis of ourshappened all because of you. Can’t you just think of a solution?”
Callum scowled. If the man in front of him were not his father, he would have kicked him to the side sothat he would stop buzzing in his ears like an annoying mosquito.
Instead, Callum rubbed his face and groaned, “Can you stop scolding me? If I had a way to get Dr.Skyworth to come, I would have done so! Do it yourself if you’re that dissatisfied with me! Moreover, doyou think I deliberately tried to put the Leighton family in danger? I just wanted to use David to makethe Leighton family greater!”
By the end of his sentence, Callum was mumbling under his breath. “This would not have happened ifnot
for your faulty new prescription. Why are you blaming everything on me?”
Nicholas was breathless from the anger he felt toward his son. He never thought of Callum as a flightyindividual in the past, but the latter had let him down greatly.
Vexed, he sat down on the chair, and his shoulders heaved as he panted.
Right then, a servant of the Leighton family rushed into the room, hulling and puffing. “Sir, Mr. Yateshas
returned with Dr. Skyworth and a young man!”
