Invincible Heir

A stinging slap on the face for no reason rose Baron's anger, but he calmed himself when he saw Yuri's teary face.

"I think you misunderstood me," Baron said.

Hardly had Baron finished his words, Tracy rushed into the room, "Yuri, are you all right?" She rushed here as soon as she heard from Baron that Yuri was in the Royal Hotel. "Tracy!" Holding Tracy, Yuri started bawling.

Baron walked out of the room, saying nothing, because he believed Tracy would explain everything to Yuri.

Yuri cried for a very long time, and then she said through gritted teeth, "Tracy, Baron is a jerk. You should divorce him, the sooner, the better."

Looking wonderingly at Yuri, Tracy said, "Why do you say that? If it wasn't for him, you might have been raped by Wallace."

"What?!"

Yuri stared at her, unable to believe Tracy's words, "You mean, Baron saved me?"

Yuri recalled that she was dead drunk all the time, so in fact she didn't know what happened at all.

Until Tracy told her the truth, Yuri eventually realized she misunderstood Baron.

She blamed herself at the thought of the smack she gave Baron.

"Tracy, I... I misunderstood him just now," said Yuri.

"Take it easy. He won't blame you," said Tracy.

"But I gave him a smack," Yuri said guiltily.

"What?!" Tracy's eyes were widened in surprise.

After a long time, when Tracy and Yuri came out of the room, Baron was standing at the window, looking at the distance blankly.

Hearing the noise, Baron turned to look at them. "I'll drive you home," he said and left.

Staring after him, Yuri felt guilty and full of remorse.

After half-an-hour's drive, they arrived at the Perry courtyard.

Tracy hesitated for a moment and said, "Do you want to have a look at Lara? She misses you very much."

Yuri also hoped he could stay here, and then she would have the chance to apologize for the slap.

Baron looked at his watch and then shook his head, "It's very late now. I don't want to bother her. I will see her next time."

"Well." Tracy didn't know what to say.

"I should go back. Good night," Baron said and drove away.

Until the car was out of sight, Yuri shouted out in tears, "Baron! Sorry!"

But her apology was swallowed by the darkness.

Baron had just arrived at the Peak Hotel when Tracy called. As he picked up the phone, a clear sound came from the other end immediately, "Daddy, I miss you very much!" A smile lifted the corner of his mouth at the sound of Lara's voice. The daughter made him feel warm and happy, "Lara, it's rather late now. You should have slept now."

"Daddy, I just can't, because I miss you so," Lara said, with a slight whimper in her voice.

Then Tracy's voice came through the line, "Baron, let's try video chat. Then Lara could see you."

The video was connected soon. Baron saw Lara, in her cartoon pajamas, lying in Tracy's arms. "Daddy!" Lara cried joyfully.

Her voice was so heartwarming that Baron almost melted, "Lara, Good evening."

"Daddy, could you go home tomorrow? I really hope to live with Mom and Dad," Lara said hopefully.

Baron felt quite bitter about the words. Actually he did want to live with his daughter, but Sherry, Tracy's mother, refused him, because she hated him so much.

"When Daddy finishes his work, he will go home, OK?" Tracy said gently.

"Okay!" Lara was a little disappointed, but she was afraid to bother him, "Daddy, look! This is a Happy Family I painted. This is father, this is mother, and I am in the middle," She said excitedly, pointing to her picture, though she could only see his father via the video.

This was a painting of a family of three standing hand in hand. It was childish, but the big smiles on their faces could actually be seen.

Looking at the painting, Baron felt so guilty and Tracy's eyes misted a little.

Lara didn't notice her silent parents and continued introducing her own painting. "Daddy, can you tell me a story?" Lara said, looking at her Daddy expectantly.

"All right. Listen up! Once upon a time, there was a girl named Little Red Riding Hood..." Baron began his story.

"Daddy, I'm getting tired of this. Mom has told it for so many times!" Lara said, giggling.

"OK! I will tell you a story about a poor man."

"Ok, great!"

"Five years ago, a poor guy married with a beautiful girl..." Until Lara fell asleep, the story was not over yet.

The story went on, "The poor guy narrowly escaped death on the battlefield for many times. Finally, he became the Conqueror of Pola. After wiping out any enemy who dared to invade the Pola Islands, he gave up everything to see his beloved again.

Baron found himself spitting out the hardships he had endured over the last five years unconsciously.

When the story was ended, Tracy's face was drowned in tears.

"It was just a made-up story. Why are you crying." Baron consoled Tracy, with a gentle smile.

"Is that how you go through all these years? Isn't it?" Tracy asked in tears.

Baron didn't reply. Sometimes the best answer was silence, because the silence spelled out everything. Tracy could imagine the breathtaking scene-Baron narrowly escaped from being killed countless times. "Do you have time tomorrow?" Tracy asked suddenly. When he nodded, she said, "Tomorrow is the weekend, let's take Lara to the zoo together, okay?"

"Ok!" Baron agreed.

"Good night. See you tomorrow."

"Good night."

Baron hung up the phone and walked over to the window. It was late at night, but he was not sleepy at all. From the picture window, he had a good view of the whole Cona. But he was in no mood for the night scene, for he was weighed down with guilt.

In the Perry courtyard, Tracy lay awake, holding the little girl in her arms. She still thought about what Baron said, the story about the poor guy.

The next day, a sex video went viral on the internet. Though they put a black bar over the exposed parts, the two men in the video were easily recognized.

The video created quite a splash in Cona, especially in Scott family. It was widely known that Scott family was the 5th largest family in Cona, and Wallace was the family's eldest grandson.

Of course, the video also caused quite a stir in the Perry family. When Henry saw the video, he nearly passed out.

Just at that moment, a man rushed in Henry's room. He said in a flurry, "Mr. Perry, bad news! The court will close Perry courtyard and drive away all of us. The courtyard will be auctioned to pay our debts." "What?!" Henry jumped up from his chair, but immediately fell down due to a heart attack.

"Mr. Perry!" the man shouted out.

Fortunately, Henry was sent to the hospital in time. If he had been delayed several minutes, he would have not been still alive.

The first thing when Henry woke up was issuing a decree, "Force Phillip out of the Perry family! Don't let him come back ever!"

In Scott family, an old white-haired man was trembling with anger after reading the news about Wallace in the paper.

Beside him was Wallace, quivering with fear.

The old man slapped him on the face heavily, "You stupid jerk! Just look at what you have done! The scandal spread throughout the country, let alone Cona! I'm about to explode!" he thundered. Wallace dropped to his knees and implored, "Forgive me, Granddad! I was framed by that jerk! He drugged us and locked me up with Phillip."

"Who's this bastard?" The old man asked in anger.

"His name is Baron, a matrilocal son-in-law of Perry family!" Wallace answered.

"You're so useless! Not even able to get rid of a humble matrilocal son-in-law!" the old man said scornfully.

Wallace couldn't bear his granddad's furious look and said at once, "Granddad, rest assured! I swear I will pay him back. I will show him what I am capable of!"
