Chapter 87: Fool of the Family

"What’s wrong?" Barnabas asked as he entered the room.

Peter was tapping the table out of nervousness. "He visited. Talked about the accounting discrepancies."

Barnabas paused from taking his seat. Peter nodded at him stressing that he is telling the truth.

"Why did you send him the accounts books?" Barnabas asked.

"I don’t know!" Peter threw his hands in the air. "I was not going to send him the accounts book. It was one of the old ones too."

Barnabas wanted to cuss but held himself back. Why is everything going wrong for the family these days?

"He cannot find out about our deal with the Waldorf family. That deal was made to be buried with us elders," Paul sighed. "The fox of Waldorf cannot know about the deal. He’s cunning and he won’t keep calm."

Barnabas sighed. Lionel Waldorf—the fox of Waldorf. Peter is scared of Lionel if he’s being honest. He would say that at times he would have no replies for that fox.

And Lionel IS someone who needs to be feared. He might not mingle with the mafia families, but he mingles with the global elites now that he became a movie star. He has better connections worldwide—better open connections. People with influence won’t be afraid to voice their support for Lionel.

In this era of the internet, Lionel is dangerous because of those with millions of followers. He can bring down people like them if he wishes for it.

Of course, they can say that he is one of them. But he never accepted anything from the family and he’s self-made. He has a pretty young and vicious fanbase who attacks anyone and everyone who says a single negative thing about him.

Not so long ago, his fans brought down the stock prices of a company that didn’t renew the contract for Lionel as their brand ambassador. That company is still struggling to stay afloat.

Lionel is dangerous.

But what Barnabas worried about the most was Leander. Leander speaks with his bullets. He does not have teenagers who fight his battles hiding behind a screen using their keyboards. He has people who will wage actual war on the streets if he commands.

Money or life... Life is more valuable.

And the one thing more valuable than life is pride!

If that truth is out, in this day and age, no one will respect him anymore. He cannot let that happen.

"You told me everyone involved is dead. So, Leander is not going to find out anything. What are you worried about?" Barnabas relaxed. "But how did Leander know to find the discrepancies? He never majored in accountancy, did he?"

"No, he did not. That’s what I don’t understand either. How did he know where to find it? He was so sure of it as if he was there when he saw them written...He still hasn’t figured out where the money went, but...How?" Peter was surprised too.

He thought Leander was the fool of the family. That’s why he never offered to start a company and make him a CEO just like he did with Evander. He was left as the faithful foot servant of the family. Leander liked it that way too.

Someone else must have helped him.

"If it is about the Russo girl, then..." Barnabas didn’t want to think that Leander married a cunning woman. She didn’t look that smart but who knows what she hides behind her innocent devil eyes?

Peter answered his phone as it vibrated. Hearing the news his face filled with disappointment and anger.

"The fox is now at Orchid Gardens. That woman... doesn’t she seem very attached to him?" Peter smirked thinking of something.

"Yes, she is... she is..." Barnabas stood up with a smirk.

There is one way to break the trust Leander has for that woman. Leander can be weaned off his attraction using his friend.

Viviana was listening to music lying on the bed handing upside down. She was bored, so she was watching the sky through the big glass window upside down.

She smiled touching her lips as she remembered what happened in the morning. She was in this position then too. She didn’t want to get up.

Leander had been keeping away from her for the past few days. He took care of her, but he didn’t even try to sneak a kiss from her. The last kiss they had was the intense kiss they shared on the bed.

She thought it was because she was not doing anything he does not like. He did say he will kiss her when she says something he does not like.

But he didn’t say "only".

She did miss kissing him. She didn’t know why. She was not thinking about kissing him before "that" night. Somehow doing that has changed everything.

But this morning, he told her that he was going to meet his grandfather. He asked her to get him his suit and jewelry. It was not hard for her to choose his clothes. Everything was black. And since he said that he was visiting his grandfather she chose him some of the chunkiest jewelry he had.

Like a little boy, he came to her wearing just his underwear. His hair was still dripping with water. She sat him down and dried his hair. She had weird feelings while doing that.

As she was toweling his hair dry, she realized their height difference once again. He was sitting and she was standing. His mouth was very close to her...ehem!

All she could think about was him lifting her shirt and sucking on her peaks. It would be so easy to do that in this position.

He loved to do that the other night. And she loved that feeling too.

Her throat went dry, and she felt her abdomen getting warm. Her tits started to tickle, and she could feel the tips getting swollen just thinking of that night.

When he flicked the nip buds with his tongue...ah!

She crossed her knees as she couldn’t bear that feeling anymore.

She wanted him to do something to her to cool down the heat rising inside her.

She was waiting and waiting for him to act. She even rubbed her chest on his face "accidentally" while she dried his hair. But like a rock, he was sitting there with a frozen-up expression. Only she was getting fired up all alone.

What a bummer! Can’t he grow up?
