The Become A Villain In The Novel
Chapter 8

“This is my life, Pa. Dad has no right to decide what I do. Even if I'm going to marry myself I'll decide who to marry.”

I'm sick of being forced to do something.

“So you will continue to make problems like this?”

“I won't make any trouble,” I said as I turned the lazy eyeball. Thank goodness Papa wasn't looking at me. Otherwise, he'll get even more angry at me.

“What guarantee you won't make trouble again?” Papa finished with his dinner. She gracefully wiped her new lips staring at me right at the bead of the eye. “You can prove it?”

“Could certainly. Papa see for yourself. I won't make any more trouble,” obviously I'm full of confidence. Meanwhile Arabella looked unhappy. I thought he'd be happy to see me scolded like this. But why does he seem so nervous? She was worried that I would get a handsome, established, and wealthy husband while she couldn't do it or what?

“We continue to talk in Papa's office.”

The man stood up, then quickly left the dining room.

I entered Papa's room after making sure the door was locked properly. I don't want the witch to hear our conversation.

I've been putting together all sorts of plans in my head all the way here. As soon as I sat down I immediately said, “I will make a lot of money. I'll make sure the show you're about to make is a huge success. And within three years, WJ Entertainment will become the largest entertainment company. Come on, let's bet. If I can do it, Papa should stop forcing me to get married.”

It would not work if I just said “no-no” only. He also doesn't believe I'm going to be a good boy. Betting like this would probably find him interesting. Men usually like a gamble, right? Gambling, horse racing, and so on.

“After to three years. You just delay time. If it's been three years, I'll avoid it in a variety of ways. You think Papa will believe your words. Anyway Papa will find a man who is suitable for you. If you do not want to, you can leave all the facilities that Papa has given you. Even your position as CEO.“

Threatened me? Have I been fighting for that company lately? Papa really wants to do this to make me obey?

“Papa afraid I can do it huh?” hisisku.

“Such a metric doesn't work for Papa,” the sneer. He saw me funny. It was as if I was a small, stupid little bunny boy who was pretentious to challenge an adult lion.

Just yummy. I am also a lion know. I can do anything. I can even get rid of that money flea from this house right now—

The money flea? How dear is Papa to the leech woman? I got a little memory. Papa had never glanced at another woman since Mama died, then suddenly he brought the woman home and said he wanted to marry her. Obviously, this woman is not a good woman. If you are lonely and need entertainment from a woman, men can get it anywhere.

“I can make Aunt Arabella leave Papa,” I said confidently. He threatened, so I threatened him.

Then Papa laughed dismissively. “You won't be able to.”

“Papa underestimated me.” My chin was raised a little, showing I had no fear at all. But it's a lie. I'm not confident. I don't know what to do. I'm sorry I said no too. But I'm too proud to take back my words.

“Why can't you? Papa's really scared I could do all that right?” I smiled with a big smile. “I'm sure Aunt Arabella also can't wait to leave Papa. He can get the treasure gono-gini—”

“You don't know anything.” Papa looks calm. But I know he's upset. “Arabella will get nothing if divorced with Papa.”

I'm poignant. “Kok—“

Papa smiled gently. “Because Arabella sincerely wants to marry Papa because our feelings are the same, not because of treasure and material.”

If I snort while laughing at Papa's words, I must look more and more like an evil woman. But that's what I want to do. Keegan once told me that Arabella was also interested in Tony and tried to tease him. She was definitely not a loyal woman who would marry a suitable man to be her father for falling in love.

“Then let's prove, is it true that Arabella married Papa for such a holy reason.” Well, then I'll find out what the real reason is for Arabella to do this. “If he is as good as Papa thinks, I will obey Papa's request. I'm getting married. Even if I told you to do it tomorrow. But if she's a woman who only uses Papa for her money, Papa better stop managing my life.” It would be good if Papa agreed. For it would be better if the demon of money were to leave this house. Better for Papa and good for all the workers here. “Why? Papa's afraid he doesn't love Papa? Papa was even too afraid to confirm that truth?”

I know Papa's been lured. Anger was clearly in his eyes. I know I shouldn't be like this to my own father. But how else, we are both stubborn. And this is also for his good.

“Alright, do what you want to do. Don't regret if your plan fails miserably.”

“Of course because Jonathan is very manly and handsome.”

I frowned at Arabella's reply when I asked her why she married my papa. After coming out of Papa's room, he and I spoke privately near the pavilion. This place is far from the main house. And it will definitely be caught if anyone peeks.

“You like much older men?”

“Iya. We loved each other and ended up getting married.” Arabella smiled brightly. Makes me suspect I've misjudged it. Even though he's a meddler, annoying, tacky, mean to the waitress, it doesn't mean he can't fall in love.

“If you love Papa why did you get close to Tony?”

The happy sparkles on his face disappeared.

“What are you talking about. How can I disturb your fiancee. The one who love to die to her is you, not me.”

“How about we make a deal. I'll inherit all Papa's property, but I hear you won't get anything if you get divorced because of the prenuptial agreement you made first.” The agreement was made to make Papa sure that Arabella married him not for money. “Yang means, when Papa dies you will not be able to inherit a dime. And I also did not intend to finance your life at that time.”

Arabella's face suddenly pias. He looked at me sharply. He's been hooked.

“You cussed your papa died.”

“Sure 'No. Even when he's alive, I can do anything with his money. If Papa doesn't exist I even bother. Wherever he is my only family and if I make trouble, no one will help to clean it up. Papa said I had to get married to live happily like you two. He said your love will not be separated. You don't even want to receive any money if you get divorced later. But I can't believe it. And Papa asked me to bet, he wanted to humiliate me for believing you loved him so much. Said I could be free if I could make you not love my papa anymore.”

Waw. I'm so talented at lying turns out. This sneaky me.

“So I thought of making you split up, and in return, you will have my support. So it's up to you to stay by Papa's side or pick me. People who in the future will get everything.” Thank goodness Papa's words that said he would take all my facilities were happening in the workspace, so Arabella didn't hear it. If not, he'll know I'm just nervous.

“Think carefully.” I rise to my feet. “I can also introduce you to many young and handsome men later. Rich and surrounded by many men. Isn't it perfect?”

Then I left her. Well, if he's sincere, he won't be eaten up by my traps. It was wrong of him to be trapped.

Damn me. I can't focus on working until tomorrow because of the problems that keep coming. I did say with great confidence to Arabella. But I'm worried too. Until now he hasn't contacted me.

And now, I hit the basement parking wall.

I got out of the car and immediately found Keegan who seemed to have just arrived.

“Mother is okay?”

“Yes, it's okay.”

“Actually Mother why lately? I'm like someone else.”

I snorted at his words. He then lowered his head. “Sorry, Mom. I just just wanted to talk. I followed my mother from behind. I don't usually take a car. Usually mulu.”

Damnit. There's no way she's starting to suspect I'm not Catherine.
