Chapter 190: Chapter 190: I Order You to Divorce Cecilia Vaughn

Law Family, living room.

Frank Law sat on the leather sofa, impeccably dressed in a suit and tie, embodying the top-tier elitism of upper-class society.

However, at this moment, his mature and dignified face was filled with displeasure.

"It’s been half an hour, where is the eldest young master?"

Standing respectfully at the side, Butler White wiped the cold sweat from his forehead.

"Today’s corporate affairs must be busy, or perhaps the eldest young master is caught in traffic, sir, please don’t rush."

Frank Law nodded and glanced up at Butler White.

"I heard Rosalind is returning home? The photography postcard she sent me arrived, nicely done."

Praised for his daughter, Butler White’s face couldn’t hide his joy.

"Yes, Rosalind is serious about everything she studies, she said she’ll fly back to Stellerton next month. Thank you, sir, for remembering."

Frank Law took a slow sip of tea, his earlier anger fading, as he spoke kindly.

"Butler White, I remember Rosalind is in her twenties this year, right? It’s time for her to get married..."

Butler White hadn’t expected Frank Law to bring this up and couldn’t help but sigh.

"As a parent, I’m worried about her marriage too. But sir, you know how my daughter feels about the eldest young master... ah... it’s better left unsaid..."

Though Rosalind appears gentle and docile, she is actually stubborn, intent on melting a thousand-year-old ice block, but alas, the Goddess is willing, yet Mount Xiang lacks a dream, in the end, she’s only left battered and bruised.

Frank Law seemed thoughtful, tapping the long rosewood table lightly with his hand.

"After all, Rosalind once saved Adrian’s life, the future remains uncertain... Well, Butler White, you may go."

Butler White hadn’t left long before a tall and slender figure walked into the living room.

"Father, did you need me for something?"

Adrian Law casually unbuttoned his trench coat, nodding to Frank Law upon entering but his eyes stayed cold, absent of any father-son warmth.

"You still recognize me as your father?"

Frank Law surveyed his outstanding son, his gaze cold and filled with overwhelming authority.

Faced with Frank Law’s forceful questioning, Adrian Law stood firmly straight.

"If not father, then perhaps ’Director Law’ is more appropriate?"

The upright, bamboo-like posture of youth, yet Adrian Law’s aura rivaled Frank Law’s decades-long presence in the business world!

...

"You insolent brat!"

Frank Law was so infuriated that his eyes burned with thick fury.

"You still remember I’m the Director of The Law Group? I thought after these past two years of you manipulating and maneuvering within The Law Group, you’d forgotten who the real helm is!"

"Adrian Law, I warn you, yesterday was your brother Tyson’s engagement party! Pulling a stunt like this, are you trying to disgrace our Law Family completely in Veridia?"

"Do you even know the media’s mocking headlines about our Law Family now?"

Brothers competing for the same woman, sisters climbing into the Law Family’s upper branches one after another, even more sordid headlines exist!

The Law Group, a long-standing distinguished household, always the most venerated in upper society, now reduced to dinner table gossip!

The most damning part is, it’s all orchestrated by my rebellious, ungrateful eldest son!

...

Yet Adrian Law remained unmoved by these words, mocking as he tugged at the corners of his lips.

"Really? Haven’t you always said truth prevails? Who is disgraced in the end, can a few media words really judge that?"

"Those who’ve played the mistress and the illegitimate son they bore, do they deserve entry into the Law Family, to be called my brother?"

As Frank Law listened, his rage intensified, while Adrian Law kept a calm façade, a timeless poker face that turned Frank Law’s complexion to iron.

"You’ve lost your mind! Born of the same father, blood is thicker than water, you dare say Tyson isn’t your brother!"

"Is it that woman, Cecilia Vaughn, who has bewitched you? Did you marry her with the elders’ consent? I’ll go to the civil affairs bureau right now to have your marriage nullified!"

"You dare..."

Adrian Law’s collected demeanor shifted dramatically at the mention of his sole vulnerability, though he quickly rebutted with laughter borne of anger.

"Fine, very well, Director Law, you certainly pull all the strings!"

"You want to annul my marriage to Cecilia, then do as you please, it’s easy to emigrate these days, at worst, Cecilia and I can register in Nordos-Kylantis!"

"Your influence may be vast, but it can’t extend effortlessly into every country!"

Frank Law’s blood pressure surged, his hand began to tremble violently, as he pointed fiercely at Adrian Law.

"You—you wish to anger your father to death?!"

...

Just as Butler White was coming with tea amid the tension-filled atmosphere, he took a startled step back, nearly spilling the fine dragon well tea on the porcelain tray.

"Sir, don’t jeopardize your health in anger, young master, quickly apologize to your father!"

Even Butler White stepped in to mediate, yet seeing Adrian Law’s continued defiance made Frank Law all the more furious.

"Do you realize your mistake now?! I tell you, as long as I’m alive, I remain the sole head of The Law Family!"

"If you hold no regard for me as your father, believe I can freeze your assets! I’ve transferred a quarter of the shares to Tyson and could make you penniless overnight!"

Adrian Law’s face was expressionless, he met Frank Law’s eyes directly, each word piercing like needles into Frank’s heart.

"I don’t care, strip me of inheritance for an illegitimate child and a mistress, go ahead. Mother is dead, Little Sheng is dead, I’ve long endured this family’s filth, you think I want to stay?"

"As long as you publicly declare my removal from the Law Family, I’ll promptly have Mother’s and Little Sheng’s ashes exhumed, take them away, change my surname to my mother’s, breaking ties with the Law Group!"

A few years ago, when The Law Group was mired in crises, it was the then-twenty-year-old Adrian Law who turned the tide, back then did Frank Law urge him to leave?

Frank Law was speechless, before erupting in anger.

"Rebellious son, this is outrageous disrespect!"

Although Frank Law, in name, is the head of The Law Group, times have changed, and Adrian Law commands greater respect beneath him.

Should he financially cut off Adrian Law, it won’t be long before Adrian reestablishes himself and further weakens The Law Group.

...

With such a powerful son, Frank Law didn’t know whether to consider it a headache or a delight.

After all, this is his only son with Susan Roswell.

That woman, the only one to ever make his heart truly race.

Yet Adrian Law dares declare he’ll take Susan Roswell’s and Little Sheng’s ashes from the family tomb, change his surname to hers!

"You have audacity; perhaps a slap will wake you up!"

In a moment of fury, without thinking, Frank Law raised his hand, bringing it fiercely toward the young man in front—
