Genetic Ascension novel Chapter 340

Chapter 340: Not So Easy [Bonus]

Paul and Geraldene's mouths formed 'O's'. They looked at one another, covered their lips, then started looking from Sylas to Cassarae and then back again as though they were watching a reality TV show rather than their daughter's love life.

Cassarae didn't know how to react. Her brain seemed to lag for a full five seconds before her skull practically exploded with steam.

"SYLAS BROWN! What the fuck did you just say to me?!"

One would have thought that Sylas had directly insulted her in the most vile of ways. But to a woman like Cassarae, there probably wasn't much of a difference. If it wasn't for her last bit of sanity reminding her that the strength they had in their hands in this day and age could truly kill people if they weren't careful, she would have already lunged at Sylas' throat in an attempt to take a bite out of it.

Sylas looked at her calmly. He didn't need to repeat himself; he was sure that she had already heard. There was a calmness in his eyes as though he had already decided on this matter for the both of them.

"You..."

Cassarae was so infuriated she didn't know what to do with herself. She could only look at those deadpan eyes and grow more and more furious.

At that moment, her own Will seemed to catch fire and a raging blue flame flickered in her eyes.

Sylas took note of it, but not much more. It didn't make much of a difference to him at all. However, to Cassarae, it seemed to have taken some of the edge off her fury. While she was very clearly still apoplectic with anger, at the very least, she could speak now.

"Who the fuck do you think you are? Even my own dad doesn't speak to me like that."

"Only because you wouldn't listen to him anyway," Sylas replied finally.

"At least you know, dick for brains. I'm not your own personal walking pocket pussy. You walked out of my life before, and now you think you can just stroll back in?! No, it's even worse than that! You actually didn't even try to have a conversation with me, you infuriating son of a bitch!"

The eyes of Cassarae's parents widened, and Paul leaned over toward his wife.

"Walked out of her life? Were they together before?" Paul whispered. This was news to him.

"I don't know, I had some faint guesses, and the fallout was pretty obvious, don't you think?" Geraldene rolled her eyes and whispered back.

"Really? I guess that makes sense." Paul nodded. "How did you know, though?"

"I found my lingerie missing one day. And then days later it suddenly appeared again in the same spot, clean and smelling far too fresh. I thought you had stolen it for a mistress."

"What the hell! Was that what caused the Mistress Gate situation?! You didn't talk to me for months!"

Geraldene looked up at the ceiling as though something interesting had appeared.

"Oh look, the design of that ceiling fan is quite beautiful, don't you think?"

Paul snorted. "Are you sure Rae is the one who stole it?"

"What's that supposed to mean?" Geraldene reacted like a cat that had her tail stepped on.

"Your ass is far too fat for our daughter to fit in your stuff. It'd wear more like a robe than lingerie." Paul chortled. "Maybe I did have a mistress or two I forgot about."

"Paul Joseph Hale!" Geraldene snapped.

Suddenly, both women were completely infuriated and Paul looked over to Sylas with several winks as though saying: 'watch how a master handles this.'

However, Sylas and Cassarae might as well have been lost in their own world. Or rather, Sylas was lost in the storm of Cassarae's fury.

"Walked out of your life?" Sylas said slowly. "I guess that is close enough to the truth. But the past no longer matters."
