"Claus, I think there is something wrong with my husband . " Aunt Dayana said with a complicated expression .
I wrinkled my brows instantly . "Did something happen?"
"… I'm not sure, it's just that he had been behaving strangely as of late . I suspect that he is plotting something against our auction house . "
I fell deep into thoughts and closed my eyes . Aunt Dayana put on a nervous expression, but she did not interrupt me .
"… It's not the first time something like this happens, you know . " I opened my eyes and stared at my aunt .
"Mm . " She nodded guiltily .
Aunt Dayana's husband is called Lock Kan . He is the second son of a lesser noble and is the director of another auction house .
When he and aunt Dayana married, he was already the director of the auction house . He was always proud of his job and bragged constantly of it, feeling that he was above others due to working in a famous auction house . To be honest, my mother's family didn't like him very much, but because my aunt insisted on marrying him, my grandparents did not oppose it .
But when aunt Dayana began to work in my auction house, everything changed . Find authorized novels in Webnovel,faster updates, better experience,Please click www . webnovel . com for visiting .
At first, he thought that our auction house was nothing more than we playing around, so he did not care much about it . He simply encouraged my aunt superficially and focused on his work .
But before long, my auction house, under the lead of my aunt, began to grow .
In just one year, it surpassed Lock's auction house, and in the next year, it became one of the most respectable auction houses of the capital .
When aunt's husband realized that his wife's work surpassed his by far, he began to feel jealous .
From then, he constantly argued with her about her job . He started to say that aunt took advantage of his connections to steal his clients and that it was because of him that my auction house reached where it's today .
He even asked for compensation and claimed he owned some of our ideas . To be honest, he is the kind of person I would have killed long ago .
But in the end, he was my aunt's husband . I want to avoid killing him if it's possible .
But from my aunt's expression, I can see that things are very bad this time .
"Explain what happened . " I ordered with a cold look . My aunt did not dare to refuse . She knows that when I'm in this mood, I stop being her nephew and become her boss .
"I learned yesterday that his auction house became a subsidiary of the Riea auction house . Moreover, do you remember the VIP treatment you proposed and we were going to implement next month? Well, the Riea auction hall announced something like that today . To be honest, I suspect that my husband accidentally heard us speaking about it and stole the idea to sell it to the Riea family . "
*Bang!* I slammed my hand on the table . Aunt Dayana shrunk briefly when she saw my reaction . She tried to say something but sighed in the end . "I'm sorry, it's my mistake . Even though I know how my husband is, I was not wary enough and allowed him to steal your idea . "
My expression was unsightly . I could not tolerate my aunt's husband's actions .
I even told him that he could form an alliance with our auction house before and he rejected, only to become a dog of the Riea family .
Was he so jealous of my aunt? Was it possible that he was unable to endure that his wife was doing better than him?
How petty .
I took a deep breath to calm my emotions . I then looked at Aunt Dayana and heaved a sigh .
"Aunt, I don't understand why you continue living together that man . "
"… I'm sorry, Claus . But he is, in the end, my son's father . I don't want my son grows without his father . Also, Lock is not a bad person, he just is a bit jealous . "
"But he spends more of his time away! When was the last time he came home?!"
Aunt was unable to answer my question .
I sighed again and put an apologetic expression . I then walked towards my aunt and hugged her . "I'm sorry for shouting you, aunt . It's just that I'm very angry . Moreover, I don't understand how you can continue defending him even after knowing he sold himself to the enemy of our family . I'll be honest with you, aunt . He already crossed my bottom line . "
Aunt paled immediately . She looked at me and grabbed my arm with an expression of fear . "Claus, what are you planning?!"
"You know my current situation aunt . Now that the emperor already announced my exile, even the dogs of the empress think they can take a bite of me . If I don't teach them a lesson, then they will corner our family little by little . "
Aunt Dayana's expression turned complicated . Her eyes flashed with different expressions while she struggled to make a decision . I simply waited silently for her answer .
