"At least brief some to me?" Petra was super curious about what happened some while ago. She had to inquire after seeing the weird look on their faces. Definitely something wrong and terrible happened. Of course, Petra got startled and left the bag in her hand to the ground after hearing the whole naughty story.
Matching towards Lorena, she gave her three resounding slaps, which made Lorena spill round and fell to the ground. Meanwhile, Grayson who was enjoying the scene in front of him, stood quietly and crossed his hands with a huge scowl on his face.
"How dare you, after everything he did for you and your son?" Clutching her hands on her dress, Petra took her up and gritted her teeths, "You're such an ungrateful human being."
Realizing his mother's situation, Liam chimed in, "Aunt Petra, with all due respect, please put down my mother. I'm respecting you because you sometimes call me your son and that's the one reason why I haven't felt with Sebastian."
Hearing Sebastian's name, she left Lorena and scrunched her brows, "You said what?"
When Petra was about to barge on him, Grayson quickly held her from behind. Wrapping his hands around her waist, he pulled her back, "No, Petra, let go. I'll handle things myself."
Slapping his hands on her waist, she snapped, "Stop holding me, Grayson. How dare he mention Sebastian's name into this?"
"Petra, we will solve this ourselves, just allow Grayson take charge." Collins added.
"To avoid more conflict, you have to calm down Petra." Laura sighed.
"Don't tell me that! Didn't you guys just heard him?" Looking at him, she yelled, "Just because I kept quiet all these years doesn't make me a fool! I stood my ground and decided to stay shut because of Sebastian and Nelly but today, I've had it up to my oesophagus."
"No Aunt, you're getting this whole thing wrong. Your son Sebastian has taken everything away from me. Absolutely everything that is rightfully mine." He retorted.
"Like what? Name it. My son is way better than a lunatic like you. He is responsible, disciplined and a decent human being other than you who is a no good for nothing piece of trash."
"Petrarchan!" Lorena yelled with furiousness. "I won't have you insult my son before my presence. Stop it!"
Letting out a mockery chuckle, Petra stare at her from top to bottom and bottom to top, "Ah, now I just realize that a shameless bitch will always remain a shameless bitch for life."
Narrowing her eyes, she added, "You're still in the middle of your shameful act, and you still gat the guts to talk?"
Getting fed up of the drama, Grayson snapped at the guards, "Are you two mad? I said get these animals out of my premises."
Before he could finish his last sentences, the guards took Lorena, Liam and Lance out of the mansion. Getting to the doorstep, Liam narrowed his eyes at Petra, "Don't think that this is the end dear Aunt Petra. Tell Sebastian, I'll be back to take what is rightfully mine. Let him prepare."
"So should you too my dear Liam." Petra scoffed.
"I trust Sebastian, he is not a man of defeat neither is he a failure. He knows how to handle disgusting pests who tries to feed on his host." Grayson frowned.
"Look who's talking about trust. Let me ask you one question, did you really think Sebastian will acknowledge you as his father in this planet?" Bursting into laughter, Lorena walked away.
Guiding her to sit down, Grayson comforted, "It's okay my dear, they're gone now."
Walking towards her with his both hands in his pockets, Collins sighed, "Keep your mind at peace, Petra. He will do no such thing to Seb."
Trying to comply with the statements, she nodded and took a deep breath, "But am still scared. I know Sebastian is a strong guy but–" She buried her face in her palms, "I don't want my son to indulge in a fight with him."
Sitting beside her, Grayson placed her head on his shoulder. Trailing his fingers through her hair, he placed his chin on her head and took a deep breath, "My son is in safe hands, same with my daughter as well. You don't have to worry about insecurities."
Snuggling hinder, she wrapped her hands around him and forced herself to believe in his words. "I hope so."

Seoul, South Korea
Lee and Bong-Cha's place
"Didn't I ask you to state every assignment she gives to you?"
"Yes sir, you did." The man on the other side of the call answered politely.
"So why are you rarely briefing me some of the details lately?" Lee raised his eyebrows. Ever since when Jin-joo decided to take a bold step to kill the people responsible for her mother's breakdown, lee has been vigilant and insistent on every step that she takes in Los Angeles.
He even hired a spy to keep watch of her. And when he found out that she was dating one of the culprit's family son, he instructed the guards to take retreat unknowing to her. Though lee haven't met Sebastian yet but he detests him with rage of disgusts.
"Boss, it was my fault. Please cast your blame on me and not the others." He lowered his head in dejection.
Picking his glass up, he took a sip and smirk, "How has it been?"
"Sir, Mr Flynn's son is a very generous man. You need to see–"
"Shut up you idiot! Did I ask about that fifthly animal? Despite my daughter being in a relationship with him, I still didn't recommend that. Anyway, that's between Jin-joo and I. When she comes, we'll talk personally."
Clearing his throat, he added, "I was talking about today's task, what is it?"
"Well sir, talking about today's own side of the plan, madame went out for shopping with Mr Flynn, but instructed me to strangle the culprit's mother today." He answered.
