Chapter 1230
Julian punched Enzo on the nose, causing it to bleed.
Tommy glared at Julian; he attempted to rise several times to defend Enzo, but Enzo stopped him each time.
"Let him hit me," Enzo said, gesturing Tommy to stop.
At that moment, Julian delivered a strong kick that sent Enzo flying to the corner of the room. Enzo writhed in pain,
unable to muster the strength to get up.
"This is for my son," Julian growled, glaring daggers at Enzo and Tommy.
He then slapped both of them. The more he hit, the angrier he became. The pain they were enduring was nothing
compared to what Sean, who was much younger, had suffered.
How dare these two adults go to such extremes?!
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt"You're avenging your son?" Enzo sneered, looking at Julian in disdain. "You're so biased, to the point you've hurt
your own son! Why don't you beat yourself to make it up to him, huh?"
"Did Sean say that to you?"
"He didn't have to. We all saw it with our own eyes," Enzo mocked. "Your son claimed to be the heir, but I've never
seen an heir so weak and disliked!"
While Enzo spoke, his gaze was fixed on a pillar behind Julian. Julian realized something was amiss, and instinctively
turned his head to find Sean standing there.
Although Enzo wasn't retaliating physically, he seemed intent on using his words to sow discord between Julian and
Sean.
Julian didn't want Sean to get hurt again, and decided to be straightforward.
"Sean is the heir of the Fulcher family and my most promising son," Julian said. "As for your claims of favoritism and
weakness, they don't exist. Don't think you can use words to ruin our father-son relationship!"
Despite his tender age, Sean had a good understanding of the vast scope of the Fulcher family's businesses. Adding
to that, Diana was pregnant with two babies, essentially giving Julian four children.
Yet now, Julian was openly declaring Sean as the heir of the Fulcher family.
In that instant, Sean's view of the world seemed to expand.
He found himself to have been...petty. He always thought that Julian favored his system, but...
In reality, Julian openly declaring Sean as the heir today was also form of favoritism against Betty and the two
babies in Diana's belly.
Sean didn't act arrogantly or defiant, but bravely admitted his mistake. "Daddy, I was wrong. I won't bring up your
favoritism again, neither in words nor in my thoughts. I won't give anyone a chance to sow discord between us. But-
deciding on the heir is something I hope you'll consider carefully."
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmSean felt that the responsibility of being the heir was truly overwhelming.
"These matters shouldn’t be decided hastily," Sean sighed." Deciding now would be too impulsive." 1
Julian listened with a smile. Sean always managed to surprise him. He went to Sean, and kneeled down to look at
the boy in the eyes.
"The reason you told them you're the heir was to protect your sister, right? You wanted to use this special status to
shoulder more of the harm that might come to her, correct?"
Sean hesitated for a moment. Under Julian's encouraging gaze, he nodded. "Yes."
He was a big brother. Protecting his sister was only natural.
Julian patted his head. "Good boy. Are you still in pain?"
"It doesn't hurt anymore," Sean shook his head, then hesitated again. "But..."
"But?"
"It’s nothing." Sean bit his lip. "I'll tell you and Mommy together after Mr. Lemmington's funeral is over."
Sean was obviously troubled.
But he wasn't willing to talk about it right now, and Julian didn't push him.
