The Mysterious Billionaire and His Substitute Bride

Chapter 479

It was dawn of the following morning when Patrick came back home.

His face was ghastly pale, as though he had aged ten years over the span of one night. His shirt was also creased all over.

He dragged his tired body to the living room and sank into the sofa.

Elissa and Ritchie had been waiting for him to come home.

They exchanged glances. Ritchie went to the kitchen to fetch a glass of water for his father. “How’d it go, Dad?” he asked anxiously.

Patrick ignored the water. He rubbed his temples and sighed heavily. “Ethan has found out about our secret force. We’ll have to sacrifice it for the sake of the bigger picture.”

Hearing this, Ritchie and Elissa looked at each other and all the color drained from their faces.

The Lester family’s “secret force” was cultivated by Patrick when they first came to Seacisco. It took care of the nasty, under-the-table deals in the dark. It had been there for the Lester family for at least two decades.

With a cold, stony expression, Patrick stood up and declared, “From now on, you two have little to no power in the Lester family. You’d better behave yourselves from now on!”

After saying that, Patrick stormed out of the room and slammed the door.

Elissa and Ritchie were speechless.

Elissa sat on the sofa wordlessly, looking dispirited.
