Reed was in a good mood today. He was a master planner, after all. Hence, he expected Gaius and Clarke to be fighting so viciously, they didn't even want to see each other again.
Reed drove his car in the morning, heading to Clarke's company because he wanted to see the tears in Clarke's eyes as he realized that he was losing his beloved wife.
Reed was so excited. He was always excited when it came to ruination. He loved seeing things get ruined. It was like his own kink, a personal pleasure, and this would be his masterpiece to ruin the beautiful life.
"Heheh—Ehehehe… this will be fun!"
Reed tried to control his expression as he entered the company building and used the executive lift directly to Clarke's office.
He expected Clarke to be sitting depressedly in his seat while Mystica, who was still disguised herself as Gaia, would try to comfort him by offering her body.
But what he saw was far from that…
He saw Mystica sitting awkwardly at her secretary desk, doing her job as always, and the moment she saw Mr. Reed Ville, she bowed her head and said, "Good morning, Sir…."
Reed frowned. This wasn't what he expected. He approached Mystica and asked in a low voice, "What the hell is happening here? Why aren't you inside, fucking with my brother?"
"S—Sir, your plan doesn't seem to work. Mr. Clarke Gaist came to the office in a good mood today," Mystica said. "I also tried to give him Macarons yesterday, he said he likes it, but when I offered him one today, he said he doesn't want it anymore."
"What do you mean he doesn't want it anymore? At this rate, you should've been fucking with that dud! Goddamn it!" Reed yelled as he got instantly frustrated the moment he couldn't get the result he expected.
Mystica was scared by Master Reed's wrath. Her Master had been acting quite strange after he knew Gaist Family.
He became erratic and impatient with anything. As if he had dedicated his life only to see this family get destroyed.
And Mystica wouldn't lie that she felt it was unfair for Clarke because Mystica saw a good man in Clarke. She wouldn't lie that she was attracted to such a man who was stable and dedicated to his job, compared to a charming madman like Mr. Reed Ville.
But she was allied with Mr. Reed here, so she couldn't help the Gaist family because everything that involved Mr. Reed would either end up suffering or death.
So she had to do her part to support whatever crazy idea Mr. Reed Ville had.
"Sir, I cannot do anything here because Mr. Clarke hasn't budged an inch for whatever I did. At this point, I don't think stripping naked in front of him would change stuff, even if I changed my gender to a male and used Gaius Gaist's face. Mr. Clarke is THAT devoted to his wife,"
Reed couldn't accept Mystica's statement. He never failed in his plan, and he swore that he'd destroy that family.
"Why do you really want to ruin this family, Sir? Gaist Family has been so good with you," Mystica asked.
"Why?" Reed turned his head to the glass pane that directly showed Clarke Gaist, who diligently read the documents he had to sign. Then a grin formed on his lips, "I want everything that he has."
"But Sir, you have everything. You're literally the richest man in the city—or maybe in the county."
"Doesn't matter. I want everything that he has…." Reed said. "And what I mean with everything… is his family, including his wife…."
"His wife?! Y—You want Gaius Gaist? Did you fall in love with that man?!" Mystica couldn't believe what she had just heard. Mr. Reed Ville wasn't the type of person who would fall in love. He was always a big playboy who liked to play with men and women and then ditched them coldheartedly. Sometimes he even ruined their lives for his own satisfaction.
"No! I fucking hate that guy! He's a naive, idiotic man that deserved to be ruined!" Reed yelled out loud. Then he realized that he was too loud, and the staff outside actually heard him.
He clicked his tongue in annoyance and snapped his fingers, and the staff who heard everything suddenly forgot what they just heard and resumed their work in a daze.
Mystica was even more surprised than before because this was the first time Mr. Reed got emotional over someone. Which already confirmed her intuition that Mr. Reed was actually in love—or at least has a feeling for Mr. Clarke's wife.
Who would've expected the evilest villain in the country to fall in love with someone else's wife, and that wife was his own brother's.
"Mr. Reed, I don't think to expect you to…." Mystica couldn't continue her words and silently opened the door for Mr. Reed. She knew what he was coming for.
He wanted to see the pain in Clarke's eyes. But maybe today wasn't the day for Reed Ville to triumph.
"Mr. Clarke, Mr. Reed Ville is here to visit you," Mystica said to Clarke.
Clarke, who was fully absorbed in doing his work, finally raised his head and smiled when he saw his little brother, "Oh, Reed! What brings you here? Are you here to visit me?"
The expectation in Reed's head instantly shattered the moment he saw that smile. It was brimming with happiness and harmony, an expression that Reed hated the most.
"Yo… brother…" Reed forced a smile and sat facing Clarke. He tried to find any expression of dread or depression in him to no avail.
Clarke Gaist was as happy as ever, even happier than yesterday, it seemed.
"You look so joyful today. What's the news?" Reed asked.
"Oh, am I?" Clarke chuckled. "It's just stuff in my house. I had a huge fight with your brother-in-law yesterday, and I thought everything had ended for us."
"But my wife… he made lunch boxes for me out of the blue the next morning and said that he will continue to support me because he loves me."
"Reed, I'm the luckiest man in this world."
