Chapter 248 - broken cup (1/2)
Seraphina meekly smiled that didn't reach her eyes as if anticipating for Logan's response. Logan gulps lightly as he cleared his throat, ”you really have Konrad's genes.”
”I am -- I originally came from him. Well, since I got your full attention, why don't we get down to the real business?” Seraphina clasped her hands together and placed her arms on the edge of the tatami table that was placed between them.
”What do you want?” without going round in circles, Logan questioned -- lending his pair of ears.
”Last night, I know that it's not a natural cause that almost killed my grandfather. What I want is that will never… ever gonna happen again.” Seraphina emotionlessly demanded.
What happened hours ago led her to a decision -- be as unremorseful as possible; setting aside her morals and respect to the Jin family. Though she initially wants to take the most peaceful route for her grandfather's safety alas, the occurrence last night pushed her to change her ways.
Indeed, she can't just rely on Liam's feelings for the protection she needed for her grandfather but Logan's influence too. Hence, if her importance towards Liam was rendered unregarded by his old man -- the word 'threat' wasn't invented for no reason.
”Huh, little Sera, asking a favor from someone requires respect.”
”I know, that is why I'm ordering you.” Seraphina nonchalantly shrugs as if the person she was talking to is the same as her age. Hearing her response, Logan scoff as he can't believe that his premonition about her was right.
Back then, months before her accident, Logan bumps into Seraphina when he went to visit Sebastian Yue. The moment he saw the looks of her eyes, it gave him a cold shrill as he was reminded of her father; Konrad who had the same menacing gaze like her.
No one might know it but to Logan, the very person he doesn't want to offend in his life is Konrad Yue. Given that Konrad had the same bright demeanor just like Seraphina, alas, Logan had a glimpse of the real man beneath that smiling shell. Hence, Konrad's death mildly surprised him but also confused him as he is not the type of person to die just like that.
Furthermore, the origins of their clan aren't as simple as it seems to be. Only Sebastian Yue courageously cuts his fate as he found his daily life tiring and lived as a simple businessman instead. Alas, karma must have chased Sebastian Yue as his son and now his granddaughter was turning into monsters.
”The forgotten Zhu clan… huh, Chairman Yue, or should I say Sir Raynold Zhu must be disappointed that the past came to hunt his offspring. I'm not surprised, it runs in the blood.” with Logan's calm tone, he uttered his comments neither in mockery nor amus_e_m_e_nt.
