Mommy，We Got a Husband
Chapter 287 Dig It Out Yourself or Should I Help You?

After entering the VIP room, Todd offered Alaric a cigarette, but Alaric didn't take it.

"Mr. Knight, you don't smoke?" Todd asked with a particularly annoying tone, "Are you preparing for pregnancy or something?"

"Here's a life lesson for you: if what you say makes people annoying, then just keep your mouth shut, which will make you seem more cultured," Alaric replied.

Todd laughed nonchalantly and said, "I don't care. I'm inherently an uncultured person. Besides, who says a CEO has to be cultured? Charm won't fill your belly, but strength in business will." Since successfully acquiring the jewelry company, Todd had become completely arrogant, not taking Alaric seriously at all.

Alaric ignored him and softly said to Stellan, "Don't you fancy a lot of jewelry? The exhibition is almost over; go make the purchase."

"Okay." Stellan knew he was deliberately sending her away. She responded and then followed the staff out of the VIP room.

After Stellan left, only Alaric, Todd, Ambrose, and Bill remained in the VIP room.

Just as Stellan walked out, Todd suddenly heard the sound of a knife stabbing into the table before he could withdraw his gaze from Stellan.

Looking down, he saw the knife embedded in the table right in front of him, and the person who had stabbed it was Alaric.

"Do you want to dig them out yourself, or should I help you?" Alaric leaned back on the sofa, his gaze sharper than the knife, piercing straight at Todd.

Todd was genuinely shocked by Alaric's move. After all, there were four people here, two of whom were his men, and Alaric was alone. How dare Alaric provoke him?

"Mr. Knight, what do you mean by this?" Todd asked.

"Mr. Vale, you're young, but your memory is poor. I told you last time, if you look at Stellan again, I'll gouge out your eyes."

Todd had been ogling Stellan earlier.

Seeing that Alaric was serious, Todd laughed arrogantly and said, "Alaric, you're being unreasonable. My eyes, my choice. I'll look where I want to. Besides, you brought Stellan out today, and she is dressed so beautifully. Isn't it to let other men look?"

Before Todd could finish his sentence, Alaric swiftly pulled the knife from the table and, in a flash, aimed it at Todd's eye.

Alaric stopped just a hair's breadth from Todd's eye, moving so fast that no one had time to react.

"Is that so?" Alaric smiled unpleasantly and then asked, "So now, since the knife is in my hand, can I stab wherever I want?"

At such a close distance, it seemed like Todd only needed to blink to get his eyelid cut.

Seeing such a dangerous move, and with Alaric making the first move, Bill quickly stepped forward to attack Alaric.

Alaric, gripping the knife handle, quickly grazed the blade against Todd's left cheek, causing blood to instantly seep out.

The knife, now stained with Todd's blood, swiftly brushed past Bill's face.

Bill was a martial artist, having been Stuart's assistant and bodyguard in his youth, and now Todd's bodyguard. He rarely made a move, but when he did, it was ruthless.

Alaric liked tough characters like Bill. Since retiring from the military and entering business, he hadn't had a good workout in a long time.

Seeing Bill and Alaric fighting, Todd was still in shock, hurriedly using tissues to wipe the blood from his face.

'Alaric is truly crazy, actually daring to make a move!' Todd exclaimed inwardly.

Ambrose, on the other hand, hid in a safe area, hoping for a mutually destructive outcome. He wouldn't get involved. Before entering the VIP room, Alaric had already informed the organizers that their people would accompany Stellan. And without his orders, no one was allowed to approach the VIP room.

Bill was a trained fighter for sure, but age was catching up with him. His moves and reflexes just weren't as quick as Alaric's.

The knife spun rapidly in Alaric's palm before he aimed it directly at Bill's face. To avoid it, Bill had to lean back.

Unfortunately, his waist bent too low, and he almost fell. Alaric quickly grabbed Bill's wrist, keeping him just above the ground. Before Bill could react, Alaric twisted his wrist sharply, producing a clear sound of bones breaking.

Then Alaric forcefully pushed Bill away, causing him to stagger and fall.

In Todd's disbelief, the knife once again stopped in front of his eyes, this time truly scaring him.

"Mr. Knight, let's talk this out. No need for violence," Todd pleaded.

Now that Bill had been taken down by Alaric, Todd knew he wouldn't be a match for Alaric in a fight, so he decided to back down.

"Now you want to talk it out? Isn't it a bit too late?" Alaric's knife moved closer, causing Todd to cry out in fear.

"Mr. Knight, Mr. Knight! Don't be impulsive. Please calm down!"

"Mr. Knight," Bill said, standing up while clutching his wrist, "It's just that he eyed Mrs. Knight a few more times. This matter can be big or small. If you really blind him, the Vale Family and the Knight Family will inevitably clash. In business, harmony brings wealth. It's not worth it to harm the peace over this." "Realize you've been eyeing too much, have you?" Alaric asked Todd.

"It's my fault. All my fault. Mr. Knight, don't be so angry," Todd begged.

"I can spare your eyes, but I need you to give me something I want," Alaric said.

Something he wanted?

The jewelry company?

"Mr. Knight, I just acquired the jewelry company. Isn't it too much to take it by force like this?"

"Not the jewelry company," Alaric said directly. "If I want the jewelry company, I'll get it with my own strength. As for you using Aurora to threaten Cormac, don't worry, I'll settle that score with you later. Today, I want something else." "What is it?" Todd asked.

"Some very useful information." Alaric moved the knife away from Todd's eyes, giving Todd a big sigh of relief; but it was still in Alaric's hand, which kept him on edge.

"What does the Vale Family have to do with the Storm Family's bankruptcy?" Alaric sat back on the sofa and looked at the three of them. "Speak up. If I'm satisfied with your answer, you can keep your eyes."
