Chapter 87

As soon as the uproar broke out, Paul and Theo rushed out of the office. There was a figure of Louis, who had fallen, and Matthias, who was kicking him.

“Matthias!”

Angrily Paul shouted, but Matthias just stared at his father with his eyes full of rage.

“This guy tried to tell Rowena everything! He tried to accuse the family!”

Louis didn’t say that, but Louis couldn’t say no. Because it was true that he tried to confide in Rowena.

As soon as Paul saw Matthias’ face, he looked at Louis with a scary expression. Louis was shocked by the look.

“Father…?”

Theo noticed that things were going in a bad direction. He approached Matthias and kept him away from Louis.

“Father, Louis is just surprised!”

“Father! These guys are only harmful to our family! Louis should be locked up right now, and keep guards on this guy as well!”

“What?”

Theo’s expression was fierce with Matthias’ brazen words. Matthias grabbed Louis by the collar and raised him. And he looked at Theo with blazing eyes.

“It’s Rowena, and my mother is different from you guys here! So I am the only legitimate heir to this Count’s house! You guys are trying to accuse the family, so you don’t deserve it!”

“Matthias!”

While Paul was embarrassed, Matthias pulled out his dagger and took it to Louis’ neck. At Matthias’ glistening eyes, Theo realized that he was properly insane.

“Matthias, your mother may be different, but our father the same? Put that knife down.”

“Do not be ridiculous! It’s obvious what you’re thinking. Don’t think you’re going to accuse me and take over this family and the count”

“Calm down, Matthias! That won’t happen!”

Unable to intervene, Paul looked at Matthias. He knew Matthias had a rough temper, but he didn’t know he would do this.

“Father, you think so too! But he’s different! Theo, I know you’ve always been aiming for my place.”

Matthias’ reddish brown eyes were burning with a deep-rooted sense of inferiority. Theo looked at him impatiently and saw Louis with a knife pointed at him by the collar.

Louis looked dispirited. It would be shocking to him that his mother was different and that his brother had a knife pointed at his neck.

“Father, have him locked up in his room and nail the door!”

“Matthias!”

“Matthias, stop. Calm down.”

Matthias took the knife to Louis’ neck without caring to listen.

“If he doesn’t get confined, I’ll kill this mistress’ child here. Our mothers are different, you know I can do it, right?”

Theo was angry, but he couldn’t let Louis die here. Theo surrendered because the tip of the knife had already dug into Louis’ neck.

“I’ll go upstairs. Stop that.”

“Your room with windows is not a good thing! Go to the warehouse room!”

At Matthias’ cry, Theo gritted his teeth, but he gently headed to the room located at the end of the hallway on the first floor. As he said, it was a room with no windows and poor ventilation.

Because it was humid, it was appropriate to use it as a warehouse to store furniture or things that were not used.

The servants and maids rushed to the great disturbance and seemed to freak out. They were surprised by the knife that was put to the youngest master’s neck.

“Young master!”

“Get out of my way!”

Matthias exclaimed impatiently and yelled at some of the servants to bring nails and hammers. The servants looked at Paul and panicked as he nodded.

Theo gritted his teeth in the warehouse room and the servants appeared with nails and hammers.

“Put a nail in that door. So that he can’t open the door again! When he pulls it, if the door opens or shakes, you guys will die first!”

The servants began to nail it down at Matthias’ sudden cry. Louis was just watching the scene with Matthias grabbing him by the neck.

He turned to Paul, but he only avoided his eyes with a pale face.

“Coward!”

When it became clear that he had nailed the door, Matthias threw Louis away. Some women screamed as they were scared of Matthias.

He couldn’t get close to Louis.

Matthias, who went to the front of the warehouse room, seemed satisfied after pulling the door and realizing that it was not even shaken.

“… Matthias. Is there any need to do this? Those are your brothers.”

When Paul said so belatedly, Matthias frowned and looked back at Paul.

“Those who harm the family are not my blood!”

Seeing Louis’ reaction, Matthias noticed that Paul might have explained his plan to Theo. His father’s betrayal was also surprising, but Theo, who never tried to get out of line, could not agree with his plan.

That’s why he told them that their mothers were different and locked up Theo. Unlike him, He thought that if Louis’ life was at stake, Theo would accept the threat.

Louis, who got up from his seat before he knew it, was staring at Matthias. His anger wasn’t just at Matthias, but at Paul too.
