Titus slowly stood up and walked towards Wesley.
Jeffery and Wesley froze. When Titus’s tall and cold figure approached them, they were subconsciously afraid.
However, Jeffery was in a wheelchair and could not retreat. As such, he could only grip the armrest, not knowing what else to do.
“Mr. Costner, what are you planning to do? This is Lyons Corporation. This is Australia,” Wesley reminded him in a low voice.
“I thought you didn’t know who I am? So you know that I’m not from here.” Titus slowly unbuttoned the first two buttons of his shirt and rolled up his sleeves, revealing his study bronze arms. His firm and strong fists made their scalps tingle.
“Guards!” Wade hurriedly called for backup when he saw that the situation was not right.
However, Warren held Wade’s arm behind his back and pressed him onto the conference table.
At the same time, Titus’s fist swiftly punched Wesley’s face.
Wesley was l8ocm tall, but his body was slammed into the wall. His lips were smeared with blood, and his teeth fell out. It was so painful that he could not speak.
Jeffery was terrified. “You… Stop that. If you hit us again, I’ll call the cops.”
“Go ahead, and call the cops. I’d like to see who dares to arrest me.” Titus raised his brows nonchalantly. “Even if you call Gavin Mead here today, he won’t dare to arrest me either.”
“Just you wait…” Wesley stood up with much difficulty, and his trembling finger pointed angrily at Titus.
However, Titus grabbed his finger and broke it with a snap.
Wesley immediately screamed in pain.
“Didn’t you tell me to wait?” Titus approached him with a smile and whispered in his ear, “Do you think I won’t dare to fight back because my son is i n your hands?”
Wesley glared at him with red eyes. At that moment, he stopped pretending, because if he continued the act, he did not know if he could walk out of here today. “If… If you dare to lay a hand against me, I’ll cut off one of your son’s hands.”
“Go ahead.” Titus did not even blink. “I’m planning to save him, but I don’t expect him to be in one piece. It’s just an arm, so think of it as a lesson to him. He’s supposed to be the son of Titus Costner, but he’s useless. Honestly, a son like that isn’t worthy of being my heir.”
Wesley listened to Titus’s light-hearted tone and saw his cold, dark eyes.
He could not help but shudder.
He admitted that he thought he had a hold on Titus. Since Titus only had one son with Sheryl, he must treasure Matthew very much. However, Wesley had underestimated this man’s ruthlessness.
Wesley’s lips went pale from the pain, and a cold sweat broke out on his forehead. Like a snake’s, agony-filled eyes gradually tinged with viciousness. “If you keep at it, you’ll have to collect your son’s corpse. I’ve hidden him in a place where no one can find him.”
“That’s more like it.” Titus laughed in a low voice and let him go, unfazed at being threatened. ” That’s why I hate dealing with hypocritical people. What’s the point? If you’ve caught him, then just admit it. Why did you have to act?”
Wesley took two steps back miserably as he clutched his broken wrist and breathed heavily. ” Titus Costner, apologize to me immediately or I’ll cripple your son and cut off your family’s bloodline.”
The first thing he did when he escaped was to threaten Titus again.
Warren said angrily, “If you dare to harm the young master, we’ll destroy the Sanderson family.”
“The Sanderson family isn’t as valuable as Young Master Costner.” Seeing Warren angry made Wesley feel like he had recovered his ground and dignity again. As such, he said viciously, “Titus, as long as you break one of your own hands, I’ll pretend that today’s events never happened…”
Before he could finish speaking, he was kicked by Titus’s long legs once again.
Wesley fell to the ground and spat a mouthful of blood.
Then, Titus walked over and stepped on Wesley’s face. “I gave you an inch, and you immediately took a mile. Did you forget what I said earlier? I don’t care if my son is missing an arm or a leg. I just want him alive. However, people like you should be quite afraid of dying, so you should understand that his life is your only lifeline. Don’t threaten me however you like. I hate being threatened.”
Wesley could not get up at all. He felt like a sandbag. His face was covered with blood, and his handsome face was trampled flat. He had never been humiliated like this before.
Even the humiliation that Shaun gave him was not as cruel as this.
He trembled in anger, but no one entered the office, and no one helped him up either.
At the side, Jeffery and Wade were so frightened that they shook.
Who was Wesley Sanderson? It was not an exaggeration to say that he was a figure at the top of the business pyramid, as well as Minister Mead’s favorite. In the past, he had to beg others to do things. Yet now, other people had to beg him instead.
Nevertheless, he was trampled all over like an ant.
“He’s pretty heavily injured. Aren’t you his men? Are you going to call an ambulance, or do you want him to die?” Titus looked at Jeffery and Wade.
Wade was so frightened that he quickly called 000.
However, since the ambulance would not arrive so soon, Shaun said with disgust, “Can you carry him out first? There’s blood everywhere. How annoying.”
“That’s right. It’s quite disgusting. ” Titus moved his long leg away and nodded.
With that, Wade hurriedly dialed the internal line and told the security guards to carry Wesley out.
Although he was not sure of Titus’s identity, the fact that the latter dared to hit Wesley unscrupulously showed how terrifying his identity was.
Even so, Wesley seemed to have kidnapped his son, so he probably would not dare to take Wesley’s life. To put it bluntly, he was most likely just venting his anger today.
As Wesley was leaving, he glared at Titus viciously. ” Just you wait…”
If other people were not around, he would have slapped Cate to death.
“Hundreds of billions worth of shares?” Titus played with the diamond ring on his ring finger and let out a deep laugh. “Why are you the one inheriting it? Who do you think you are? A reformed prisoner?”
His words were loud and clear, and the conference room fell eerily quiet.
Jeffery’s face went red, but he bit the bullet and said, “I’m Rosabella’s father. She’s dead and has no children. According to the laws, it should be inherited by her parents.”
“Are you sure you’re her parent?” Titus stared at Jeffery with his deep and cold eyes. “But I clearly remember that when we were in Melbourne not long ago, you said that her father was someone else and her mother was my wife, Sheryl.”
Jeffery said, “Did I say that? She’s my daughter in her birth certificate anyway.”
“Is that so?” Titus raised his hand to the lawyer next to him.
The lawyer immediately took out a pile of documents from his briefcase and handed it over.
Titus threw the documents in front of Jeffery. ” Then take a good look at this. Your so-called daughter spent more than goo billion of my wife’s money the other day. According to the law, the money that Rosabella has spent is my wife and my joint assets, so I have the right to get the money back. Since she’s dead, you’ll pay it back as her father.”
“O-on what basis?” Jeffery looked at the figures on the document and nearly went crazy.
He had never seen so much money in his life. “You’re really funny. Your daughter is dead, and you want the shares she has left behind but refuse to pay back the huge amount of money she owes.
How can you reap the benefits and leave the bad to me? Oh, by the way, here’s a copy of your daughter’s DNA test. It says that Rosabella is Sheryl’s biological daughter, but you’re saying that she’s yours.”
Titus threw another appraisal form at him. “Well, can I take it that the three of you are engaged in fraud? First, you used this DNA test to approach my wife and had her think that Rosabella was her long- lost daughter before you cheated my wife of her money. Now that Rosabella is dead, you want to take over the company that my wife has spent money to acquire for her?”
Jeffery sweated profusely. That was exactly it.
However, he could not admit it. Admitting it meant that he would go to jail, and he did not want to go to jail again.
“I don’t know what you’re talking about. We didn’t know that Rosabella did a DNA test. All I know is that on her birth certificate, Sally and I are listed as her parents. We were also the ones who raised her.”
Titus’s lawyer came forward and said, “Excuse me. The money that Rosabella spent to acquire Lyons Corporation came from Mr. and Mrs. Costner’s bank account. If you insist on taking over Lyons Corporation, we’ll have to send an appeal to the court to freeze this part of the shares.”
“You have no right to do that,” Jeffery said anxiously. “My sister gave her the money. Tell her to come out and talk.”
“She’s sick and hospitalized. As her husband, I have the right to recover our joint assets as a married couple.”
Titus leaned against the leather seat. “Besides, I seriously suspect that you three are fraudsters.
Coincidentally, Rosabella’s remains should still be frozen, so that makes things easier. We’ll just get something from her body to have a DNA test done. Of course, if she’s not my wife’s biological daughter, not only will I recover the assets, but I’ll also sue you for committing fraud worth an astronomical goo billion dollars, which is unprecedented. I’m afraid you’ll probably be given the death sentence by then.”
“You’re talking nonsense. We didn’t commit fraud.” Jeffery’s blood boiled.
He did not know what to say anymore. His vision went black, but it was not enough to make him faint, so he pretended to be short of breath and then passed out in his wheelchair.
Wade, who hosted the meeting today, hurriedly got up again to call the secretary. “Is the ambulance here yet? Another person has fainted in the conference room. Send him over as well… Hurry up. Don’t tarry and risk a life…”
