All Chapters of Bound By Lies: His Brother’s Obsession : Chapter 31 - Chapter 40

Driving to the company, the ride was quiet and smooth due to the fact that it was still morning, so the road was clear and not full with cars. Feeling bored with the quietness, Alexa played a music with her phone to keep the atmosphere lively.At the same time, Viola was scrolling through her phone when her ringtone cut through the silence.Seeing that it was dad calling her, she smiled and answered immediately.“Good morning, Dad,” she greeted softly.“Morning, pumpkin. Are you already on your way?” Mr. Anderson asked gently, sounding both excited and proud.“Yes Dad. We are heading there now,” she replied to him and added, “About ten minutes away.”“We?”. He couldn’t help but ask.“Yeah dad, I and Alexa. She will be joining me”. Biola said curtly.“Good,” Mr Anderson said with a satisfied smile and continued, “I already called the director, he will be waiting for you. He is going to guide you through everything and introduce you to all departments so you don’t need to stress yours

Elsewhere, Nathan was sitting on the dining table fully dressed. Shortly after, Claire came to the dining table with Bella beside her. Not talking much, Claire moved gracefully to the table and sat beside Nathan as if that spot was hers, while Bella quickly climbed onto her chair and was already feeling excited for the breakfast, but when she remembered her mother's warning, she immediately put on a neutral face.“Good morning”. Claire greeted with a sweet smile.Nodding his head, Nathan responded to her greeting with a warm smile, but when he stared at the empty chair across him, he frowned his face in displeasure.Checking the time, he saw that it was 8:00 a.m which meant Viola should be awake by now, but now she was missing for breakfast.Furrowing his brows, he waited for almost two minutes, but when she didn’t appear, he glanced at the maid who was serving breakfast and asked, “Has Viola come down yet?” On the other hand, Claire clenched her fist tightly when she heard his wor

In the conference room, the board members and shareholders were already seated, including Tessa’s father, Mr. Granton, a stiff faced man who always looked like he wanted to scold the world.The moment Viola entered, everyone stood in respect except Mr Granton, who just received a call from his daughter.He spoke first loudly and with an arrogant voice.“I heard you made chaotic decisions this morning. You fired my daughter without consulting anyone. Who gave you such authority?” He asked.Walking calmly towards the head seat, Viola sat down with a perfect posture.And with a calm expression, she answered simply, “I did,” Without being told, she knew that he was Tessa's father. They both have the arrogant look that she despises.Mr. Granton slammed his palm on the table and lashed out. “Your father may own this company, but you cannot treat it like a playground. Tessa is a hard working staff”.“Just like your daughter. She has been using company clothes as her personal brand, she hasn

Soon after, the living room was quiet with only Claire and Nathan.Looking at Claire who was still in a semi conscious state, he tapped her body slightly as he gently shook her shoulder in order to wake her up.“Claire, are you ok, wake up,” he said softly as his brows furrowed in concern.Slowly, Claire opened her eyes and pretended to blink her eyes a few times with a confused look.Just as she was looking around, Nathan brushed his hand against her cheeks which made her wince in pain.Nathan, who was unaware of her pain, frowned, wondering what was wrong. But the moment he saw the red fingerprint on her face and how it was swollen, his entire face immediately darkened.He knew they had a fight, but he didn’t know she was slapped and judging by how it looks, the slap came in with force.“Claire,” he called out with a tight face and asked coldly. “What happened to your face?”Hearing this, tears welled up in her eyes almost instantly. Touching it softly, she whispered brokenly with

Nathan didn’t answer. He just gave them both one last cold look and turned to leave, but Alexa was not letting him.She hissed and spat out, “You are pathetic, and you are letting a manipulative woman ruin your family, and you don’t even see it.”He paused at the door, but he didn’t look back. So without a word, he left and slammed the door behind him.The moment he left, Alexa hissed under her breath and said, “I swear, I could strangle him right now.”As for Viola, she exhaled slowly, Then she looked at Alexa, who was fuming and chuckled lightly.“Don’t let it get to you,” Viola said softly, and added with an uninterested look, “He will realize the truth soon enough.”Alexa crossed her arms. “When? When it’s too late? I can’t stand seeing you treated like this, Vi.”“And I’m not complaining. Besides, my feeling has died down so it don’t get to me again”. Alexa sighed and shakes her head. “I know Vi.m, but you are too calm. I would have smash his head open by now”. She said, making
