His Precious Love

Chapter 237 My Corset

“Am I really that horrible, Dad?” Wyatt asked, displeased. “I am a man of my word. I’ll be good to Jessica, or do you dislike her?”

“That’s right. I dislike her. You two come from entirely different backgrounds!” Gerald exclaimed. “How can she benefit you when her family doesn’t own a business? You’re still too young and naive.”

“Both of her parents are professors. How is that a poor background?” Wyatt argued. He was tired of his father’s condescending tone. “Stop it with your condescending tone. Not everyone’s head is filled with money. Also, I own various businesses. Thus, I earn more than enough. If you’re still concerned, I’ll return my Lopez Group shares to you.”

“Wyatt Lopez! Watch your tone when you’re speaking with your father!” Gerald was fuming. He instantly extended his hand and slapped Wyatt hard. “I dare you to repeat what you said!

“Hubby!” Pamela cried out, shell-shocked. As soon as she realized what was happening, she grabbed Gerald’s arm and forced him to stop. “Wyatt didn’t mean any harm. You should take a seat and cool down.”

“He’s talking back to me for a woman. What else could it be other than him rebelling against me?” Gerald scolded. “He thinks he’s able to make money now and has grown a pair! He did not, however, consider what I had done over the years. Where would he be if it weren’t for the yearly few hundred thousand I’ve given him? What would become of him if I didn’t provide him with food, clothes, and a good education?”

The corner of Wyatt’s lips began to bleed slightly from the force of the slap. Jessica wanted to help him wipe the blood away. Yet, Wyatt stopped her.

Wyatt then used his hand to wipe away the blood before giving Gerald a rebellious glare. “Slapping me is a given since you’re my father. Here, if you think this isn’t enough, feel free to slap the left side of my face.”

Gerald was livid to the point where his chest heaved violently. “I don’t care if you want to play around, and I don’t care how long you plan to do that. But you better get married to the daughter of a business owner if you want to do so. Marrying other women is not an option!”

“I’m not marrying a business owner’s daughter. You can go ahead and marry one if you want to!” Wyatt countered.

“Wyatt!” Pamela scolded. “That’s enough. Apologize to your dad this instant!”

“He’s the one who looked down on others in the first place!”Wyatt argued.

“He’s the reason I despise getting married. Not everyone desires to abandon their entire life in exchange for money.”

“I see. You’re all grown up now, aren’t you?” said Gerald as he let out a bark of angry laughter. “If you think so badly of me, then let us cut ties. Do you think I lack a son like you?”

Wyatt sneered. “I should be the one asking you that question. Do you think I lack a father like you? If it weren’t for your sins, Mom wouldn’t have been kidnapped by those people and lost the twins!”
