The Impostor’s Time Is Over Chapter 05
Dad then waved his hand dismissively without batting an eye, and two bodyguards rushed up to Alvin. They grabbed him roughly by his hands.
Alvin was both shocked and frightened. He asked Dad, totally confused, “Sir Ralph! Why are you grabbing me instead? You should be trabbing Sabrina!”
Mom’s eyes turned frosty. She yelled, “Slap some sense into him! I refuse to let him even utter my daughter’s name with that filthy mouth of his!”
Before she was even done talking, one of the bodyguards went up to Alvin and slapped his face repeatedly, making sure the crisp sounds echoed loudly across the venue.
Yet, the guests witnessing the spectacle were still utterly confused.
Why were Mom and Dad suddenly attacking Lacey and Alvin so violently? What the hell was going on?
After nearly two dozen slaps from the bodyguard, Alvin was bleeding heavily from cuts and bruises on his face. In fact, his face was so bloody and swollen that he was mostly unrecognizable.
The bodyguard on the left then grabbed Alvin’s wrist and yanked his arm right out of its socket.
Alvin was launched into so much pain that he screamed and shrieked loudly, the sound nearly piercing my eardrums.
Before he could start begging for mercy, the other bodyguard aimed a heavy kick at his knee.
Multiple blood-curdling cracks could be heard as Alvin’s kneecap was shattered into tiny pieces.
Alvin immediately lost his balance and fell to the ground like a limp worm, unable to move his body at all. Both his arm and leg were now broken, so he couldn’t even crawl back up.
Great fear reflected in his eyes as he asked, “Sir Ralph! Why are you doing this to me! How are you going to explain things to my dad? He’s been friends with you for decades!”
The corner of Dad’s lips curled upward ever so slightly into a smirk. He scoffed. “Friends for decades? Is that what your father has been calling himself in public?
“Alright, then. I’ll ask him one of these days just how much of my reputation he’s managed to ruin for years. He doesn’t even deserve to lick the dust from under my boots, so how dare he even call himself my friend?”
Alvin instantly realized that he’d just gotten his family into trouble. He received such a fright that it looked as if his soul had left his body.
He knew very well that nobody in the whole of Jadington could ever handle Dad’s wrath if he actually became
angry.
So, Alvin hurriedly begged and groveled at Dad’s feet for mercy.
“Sir Ralph, please spare us! Spare our lives!”
Dad looked unfazed. “I’m not the one you should be begging for mercy.”
He was already making it obvious for everyone to see. Yet, Alvin just threw me a glance before asking Dad again, still confused, “But Sir Ralph! I don’t understand why you’re doting on Sabrina and taking her side.
“The whole world knows that your daughter is Selena, not Sabrina!”
Alvin’s question echoed the sentiments of every guest present. They chimed in with Alvin, still unable to understand why Dad would take my side.
Everyone began talking and discussing among themselves. It got so noisy in the hall that I began to feel frustrated.
Dad suddenly lifted his cane and struck it lightly against the floor.
Everyone quietened down immediately.
Nobody dated to say another word. They all just watched Dad with bated breath.
This time, Dad looked at me and asked gently, “Did all these people bully you earlier, too?”
That line sent everyone into a panic. They gasped in shock and suddenly felt like their doom was near.
A few of the more timid guests had already fallen to the floor in fear. Their faces were pale and ashen as they stared at me pleadingly, hoping that I would defend them and tell Dad that they hadn’t bullied me.
But how could I possibly let them off the hook?
They had all taken Selena’s side when she was bullying and humiliating me earlier.
“They did,” I said with a nod of my head.
As soon as I nodded, a few of the more timid female guests burst into tears.
However, Mom frowned and yelled, “All of you, shut up!”
The cries stopped at once.
Mom then gave out an order. “Take these people outside and give them all a good whipping!
“Clueless cowards who dare to bully and humiliate my daughter! They’re just asking for it!”
The guests quickly realized that they were all doomed and fell to their knees, begging for mercy.
Someone still dared to challenge Mom and Dad because he felt indignant about the whole situation.
“Sir Ralph! Mrs. Bloomberg! It’s no big deal if you want to kill us as punishment, but at least tell us why you’re siding with a street beggar like Sabrina!”
Dad pointed the end of his cane at the fearless man, and two bodyguards immediately dragged him over, forcing him to his knees before Dad.
Then, Dad raised his cane and struck him on the head with so much power that even his cane snapped in two. His angry roar filled the entire hall.
“I, Ralph Bloomberg, only have one daughter, and she is Sabrina Bloomberg! She is the only heiress to the entire Bloomberg family!
“From today onward, if anyone dares to call her a ‘street beggar’ or ‘impostor’ again, I will make sure that they all disappear from the face of the earth!”
