Chapter 180 Cassiusâs Threat
Cassius lowered his voice and said coldly, âItâs not up to you to decide now. There are a lot of things
waiting to be dealt with in the Walpole Group. You donât have the time to care about the TV series right
now.â
He ignored Gustaveâs objection and replied to Cyrus, âI will cancel the cooperation with Aleena, and the
documents will be sent to you soon.
âItâs just a trivial matter. Please tell Mr. Gallard that he doesnât need to take it to heart. After all, my son
had caused him a lot of trouble before.â
Cassius was a tactful person. He took advantage of it to give Avery a favor. At the same time, Gustave
could stop thinking about it, and Darlene would think that Gustave had given up her things.
Gustaveâs expression was tense. âYou have no right to make decisions for the
collaboration I have made.â
Cassius sneered, âItâs you who made it, but that film company belongs to the Walpole
Group.
âYou are not the president now. Apart from changing an actress, I can even dismiss all the actors and
directors that you have chosen and that film company.â
Cassius took a step closer and looked at Gustave coldly, saying, âI have reminded you
that a man is nothing without power.
âYou donât want your company and power, so you have no right to decide anything.
âDonât blame me for being cruel. If you want your mother to be well, you have to listen
to me from now on.â
Gustave looked at him and sneered, âYou threaten me with your wife, treating her as a bargaining chip.
Thatâs ridiculous.â
Cassius looked angry since Gustave had pointed out the truth. âI donât have time to argue with you about
these meaningless questions. If not for you being too disappointing, I wouldnât have done such a thing
today.
âI wonât beat around the bush with you. I can let your mother go back with you and let you leave this
place.
âBut you have to admit to Avery and the Gallard Group that it was Darlene who seduced you during this
period. It was Darlene who was corrupted in character. You promise that you will keep a distance from
her from now on. In that case, things will be settled.â
This way, Andrew would be satisfied. Andrew could persuade Avery to give up on Darlene and chase her
away 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 opposing
each 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. âNo way.â
Cassius was so angry that he asked the maid to hand him a club. He held it in his hand and approached
Catalina, who was in the corner.
Gustave looked at him and his eyes were red. âIf you dare to do it, my mother and I have nothing to do
with you and the Walpole family from now on. Cassius, I will do what I say today!â
Catalina, who was in the corner, was frightened. She shrank back several times and screamed
desperately, âHelp! Help!â
Cassius just meant to scare Gustave and make him agree in a hurry.
Hearing Gustaveâs words, he turned around in disbelief. âWhat did you say?â
Gustaveâs eyes were cold. âYou are not even worthy of being a father and a husband. Iâm
really ashamed of you.â
âBastard! You unfilial son!â Cassius was so angry that he trembled. He took a few steps forward and hit
Gustave on the back with the club.
âWhy did I have such a disobedient child like you? Let me tell you. You have no other choice but to agree
to apologize to the Gallard family. You have to cut off all ties with that woman. Then everything will stop
here!â
The club hit Gustaveâs 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 Gustaveâs forehead,
but he wouldnât give in. âNo way.â
Catalina crawled over in horror. âDonât hit my son. Go away. Donât hit him.â
Gustave raised his head. His face was pale, but his eyes were cold. âMom, donât be afraid. Just treat him
as a beast. As long as I am still alive here, he wonât be able to hurt
you.â
Catalina was so scared that she cried, and then was dragged back to the corner by the bodyguard. She
was so anxious that she slapped the wall beside her, thinking that she was slapping the door. âIs there
anyone? Help!â
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.
âGood, 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. Iâm telling you that itâs
impossible!
âToday, unless you give up and do as I say, you and your mother can not leave here no
matter what. Iâd like to see how stubborn you are!â
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, âMr. Cassius, you canât continue
to beat like this. You should talk about it in peace.â
Cassius said angrily, âTalk about it? Iâve been talking to him for a long time.
âNow that Ricky, who is disappointing, has become a temporary president, he has
messed up the company. My son canât do it again! All of you, get out of here. I will make him give in
today!â
In Southwood Villaâ¦
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 wanted
to 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 well
and woke up before dawn. When he woke up, his body was so stiff and
sore.
Cyrusâs lowered voice came in from outside, âMr. Gallard, Aleena has arrived. She is in the living room
downstairs. She said that if it is convenient, she hopes to see Mrs. Gallard.â
Aleena just meant to come to see Darlene. As for the soâcalled cooperation with Avery, it was just an
excuse to enter this house.
After Avery was ready and came out of the bedroom, he had a disdainful expression on his face. He
thought, Aleena is just an important actress, so she came so early in the morning after obtaining such an
opportunity.
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 waiting
for 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 behind
him. âWhere is Darlene? Letâs get it straight. Let go of Darlene, and I wonât cooperate with you. I have
already called the police.â
