To the Ford family's crown prince, it was just a way to pass the time. Alaric had seen enough to know Gregory wasn't seriously involved with Jane. Mulling over his plan, Alaric, with his legs crossed, made a call. "Hey, it's me. Whatever it takes, just-Damn!" The car abruptly screeched to a halt, and since he hadn't bothered with his seatbelt, he was propelled forward into the back of the front seat! Cursing under his breath from the pain! The leg he had propped up felt numb from the impact.
After gathering himself, Alaric, still not daring to move his leg and sweating bullets, bitingly cursed the driver, "Damn it, have you been drinking?? What kind of driving is that!" "No, no..." The driver, safely buckled in, quickly explained, “Boss, the car in front stopped suddenly. If I hadn't braked, we would've crashed." Alaric, furious, spat out swear words, "Then you should've just hit them! Can't I cover the damages?" The driver glanced at the car ahead, silent.

Do you need something from me?" Alaric had a hunch but couldn't believe it, hastening to clarify his position. "I'm really sorry, I just injured my leg and can't move..." Lucius glanced down. "Broken?" Unable to gauge his tone, Alaric was like, "Well... probably not." Admitting it would be like blaming them for his injury. Alaric had that much sense.
Unexpectedly, Lucius opened the door, pressed a hand on his shoulder, and with a swift, ruthless motion, snapped his leg! "Crack-" Lucius, satisfied, withdrew his hand and stood up straight, hands back in his pockets. "Now it's broken."
Throughout the brief encounter, Alaric was too shocked to react, only feeling the intense pain yet, he dared not show any anger. He couldn't afford to offend the Ford family's crown prince.
Once he managed to recover slightly, he forced a smile, trying to appease trying Lucius, "Bro.. brother, could you maybe hint at what I did to upset Mr.
