Eric frowned in confusion when he heard Mahen's words. "Sorry, Sir. What exactly are you saying?" He really does not understand.
Mahen smiled cynically, especially when he saw Ryder's photo located on the wall of the room.
"Look, she. He really is your son who is very dashing" Mahen said as he looked at Ryder's photo. The anger was clearly visible on his face, with breaths beginning to hunt.
Eric was silent when he heard Mahen's words. He had been wondering what the man was saying. One that he understood, that Mahen came here because of his son.
"I'll listen to whatever you say, so please speak, Sir." Eric walked up to Mahen and stood right in front of the man. He stared intently, as if telling the man to say it immediately.
"Your son made my daughter a bet."
Deg.
Eric's heart was racing when he heard Mahen's words. His face looked tense from being so shocked to hear what his son was doing.
"What, what do you mean?" asked Eric with a stutter. He was obviously surprised by what the man said.
"You should ask your own son what he has done. Not only did it make my daughter a betting material, she even trampled on Yara's self-esteem in front of a lot of people" Mahen explained with great emphasis. His face flushed with anger that was beginning to peak.
Eric went back to silence to think about what Mahen said. Actually what has the son done, to the point of making Yara as a betting material?
"Wait, is it possible he-" Eric clenched his hands tightly while remembering about something. Could it be that his son was still having a party that contained the women's gamble?
"Call my son here, Rolan!" eric's orders were sharply with his secretary. His jaw hardened full of emotion, with a gurgle of anger clearly visible on his face.
"Good, Sir." Rolan hurried off to call Ryder.
"Do you know what your son did?" asked Mahen sharply. His eyes narrowed suspiciously at the sight of Eric's expression.
Eric sighed violently while lowering his head. "I'm sorry for not being able to educate my son so well, sir." He clenched his hands until his nails turned white.
"I'm sorry? Do you think that by apologizing, my child's self-esteem will return to its original state?" mahen said gritting his teeth full of anger.
For the first time Eric bowed his head before others, even for the mistake his son had made.
"Your son is old enough to account for all the deeds he has done." Mahen clapped his chest, holding his already itchy hand wanting to hit the man who was currently in front of him.
"I understand, Sir. I will definitely give a very heavy punishment for him, for that as his parents I apologize profusely to you and all the family" Eric said softly, and there was clearly guilt from each of his words.
Mahen sighed harshly as he saw Eric bowing his head before him, without even upholding it in the slightest. Obviously, all of that is a shame that must be borne by a father.
"Put your head, Sir. I don't mean to drop your pride" Mahen said as he patted Eric on the shoulder, making the man stare at him.
"The dignity of a father instantly disappears when their son makes trouble, sir. Moreover, he did something very immoral" Eric replied with a sharp gaze drawn towards the floor, his chest rising down as it had been trying to contain his anger.
"You're right." Mahen nodded his head. "But a father's heart would be broken if he saw his daughter in such a lowly manner, even his daughter was also made a bet for the men's satisfaction."
Eric was silent with disappointment on his face. He absolutely could no longer allow Ryder, and he swore he would give a punishment that was in line with what his son was doing.
"A child who is born rich will not care about anyone else. She trample on my daughter's self-esteem just because of money." Now Mahen's voice began to weaken, especially when remembering how Yara felt at this time.
"Harta made him blind to humanity, so that the dignity of others he could tread with pleasure. It feels like I really want to kill that man" Mahen later said.
Eric remained silent in his place as he understood very well how Mahen was feeling at the moment, and he would also do the same if it happened to his daughter.
"I still remember the story from Vano that you pleaded with the utmost when asking Yara to take care of your son, and we handed over our precious daughter unconditionally. But this is the reward we received, the kindness Yara did was repaid with contempt."
