He Tried to Play the Villian Chapter 9 The Final Reckoning
Joanna and Clara finally broke apart at the sound of the horrified screams around them.Charles became panicked, sweat pouring down his face.The banquet hall descended into chaos, lasting til the wail of an ambulance siren cut through the noise.Paramedics rushed in with stretchers and hurried the unconscious George and Landon, who was writhing in agony, out of the hall.Julianne stood frozen, staring at the wreckage around her as if her soul had been sucked out of her body.It wasn't until the police pulled out a pair of handcuffs and snapped the cold metal around her wrists that she snapped back to reality."Ms. Brooks, you're under arrest for assault. You're coming with us.""No! That's not what happened…"Julianne struggled frantically, her fear finally sinking in now that reality had caught up with her.She looked at me and pleaded through her tears, "Louis! Help me! I'm your fiancée! You're the eldest son of the Rivers family. You can do something, can't you? I know I w

Charles finally snapped and shouted it for everyone to hear.Everyone stared at him in shock.Julianne froze, the smile on her face turning stiff. "Dad, you can't be serious."Clara was stunned as well. She stared at Charles in disbelief. "What did you say? You gave Julianne that medicine?"Charles pointed at Clara with a trembling finger, his jaw clenched with unmistakable fury. "How dare you say that! You didn't want me to have an illegitimate child who could come back and fight for the family fortune. That's why you secretly drugged my soup to make me infertile. "How was I supposed to know it would end up affecting Julianne? You thought you'd covered your tracks perfectly, but I found out about your scheme a long time ago. I didn't want any more kids anyway, so I let it go…"Charles squeezed his eyes shut in pain. "But I never imagined Julianne would come home hungry that day and drink the very bowl of soup you'd drugged!"The truth hit Julianne like a bolt from the blue, le

I couldn't help but burst into laughter at the smug look on his face.Landon was so ridiculously stupid that it was funny, piteously so.Then, he reached for my hand as he plastered a fake smile across his face. "Louis, I was the one at fault in the past. Let me offer you a toast. Please, just let Julianne and me be together!"I instinctively took half a step back from his outstretched hand. "Don't touch me. You're disgusting."That half-step gave Landon exactly what he needed.A flash of malice crossed his eyes. Then, he suddenly threw himself backward as if I'd shoved him."Ah! My leg!" Landon collapsed onto the floor with a shrill cry, his face contorted in pain."Louis! I know you don't like me, but how could you push me?" He cried out as though he'd suffered some terrible injustice.Julianne rushed over and shoved me aside. "Louis! If anything happens to Landon, I'll make you pay with your life!"I staggered several steps from the force of the shove. However, Clara's shar
He Tried to Play the Villian Chapter 6 Landon's Big Comeback
When we got home, Logan and Joanna were both cold toward me.Joanna pointed a finger at me. "Louis, how could you treat your brother like that today? He went through so much out there before finally making it home. Couldn't you have let him have his way for once?"Logan's expression hardened. "Exactly! Did you even consider how many people saw us making fools of ourselves tonight? How could you not think about what it'll do to the River family's image? Apologize to Landon. Now."Landon stood off to the side, a smug smile tugging at his lips.I swept my gaze at this family of leeches, these parasites who had been living off me."I see you're all so proud of yourselves. Very well, then."I pulled out my phone and called the bank. "Mr. Vance, cancel every card under the Rivers family's names."The living room went silent.Logan shot to his feet, his face turning stark white. "Louis! What the hell are you doing? I'm your father!""Adoptive father," I corrected him."I saved River

The room went dead silent.Clara's voice turned low and serious as she whipped around to face her daughter. "When did this happen?"Julianne looked a little embarrassed, but she still gazed at Landon with a lovestruck smile. "It's been almost two months. The doctor said the pregnancy isn't stable, so I have to avoid stress."Landon finally snapped out of his daze, his face lighting up with sheer delight.He was still a little stunned, but he quickly recovered and clasped Julianne's hand. "Julianne, really? I'm so happy!"Julianne turned to me with a smug smile. "Louis, Grandpa might've been fooled by your facade, but now that I'm carrying Landon's child? Well, let's see what he has to say!"I met her taunt with a cold stare.I didn't love Julianne. To me, this engagement was nothing more than an obligation. Nevertheless, that didn't mean I would let her trample all over my dignity.Two months pregnant?Hah! That was when George had just announced our engagement.She'd been st

Julianne was dumbfounded.She glared at me. "Louis, what did you do to my grandfather to make him so determined to marry me off to you?"I rolled my eyes at her, utterly exasperated. "Julianne, make him call off the marriage if you're so brave. Why are you yelling at me?""You!"Julianne was so furious that she raised her hand to slap me, but the man behind her caught her by the sleeve.Landon's eyes reddened, his voice shaky as he blubbered, "Julianne, don't fight with Louis because of me. This is all my fault. I never should've come home…"He started backing away as he spoke, pretending to be considerate.Julianne felt terribly sorry for him. She turned on me. "Louis, you're so calculating. You can never hope to hold a candle to Landon!"I looked at the two morons in front of me and almost laughed at their faces.I was about to speak when a sharp female voice rang out from the entryway. "Julianne, have you lost your mind?"Julianne froze and instinctively let go of Landon.
