DRAMA NOVEL ONLINE Chapter 134
Chapter 134 To Make Him Disappear
“Ah!”
Those three muscular, brawny security guards were lying on the floor and moaning in pain.
To Queenie’s horror, Lucian was still standing at the same spot, looking completely unruffled.
“What?!”
Fear and disbelief flickered across her eyes as Queenie took in the sight before her.
What just happened?!Lucian managed to defeat three guards all at once?!It didn’t even take him a minute to strike down three tall, heavy men, alone! What’s more, he moved so quickly that I didn’t even see how it happened!
“You… Don’t come any closer!”
Queenie thought that her heart might stop when she spotted Lucian walking toward her. She turned deathly pale.
“Are you going to pay that 10 million dollars?”
There wasn’t a hint of emotion in Lucian’s voice. The cold, unfeeling look in his eyes reminded Queenie of vicious, otherworldly creatures.
“What is it that you want from me?!”
Queenie failed to realize how things were not going in her favor. She pointed at Lucian and shouted, “You’re going to be very sorry if you dare lay a finger on me! I own the largest entertainment company in all of Sioux! Did you seriously think you could stand a chance against
me?”
“I’m not gonna lay a finger on you,” Lucian snickered as he stood before Queenie.
“I’m glad that you’ve come to understand your current circumstances. Now get out of my company, and I’ll look past the fact that you’ve beat up my security guards,” Queenie declared haughtily.
There was a loud sound as Lucian raised an arm and slapped Queenie in the face the next instant.
He slapped her so hard that Queenie fell backward onto the sofa behind her. Blood oozed out of the corner of her mouth.
Her eyes bulged. Queenie covered her swollen cheek as she turned her gaze toward Lucian.
How dare he slap my face?!This is the first time someone has slapped me ever since I’ve become the CEO of
1/5
Startist Entertainment!
“I won’t use just one finger to hit you. I’m going to use both hands to slap some sense into you!”
There was a murderous aura about Lucian as he replied to Queenie.
“Ah!” Queenie screamed hysterically. She had never felt so humiliated before. She bellowed, “Lucian, you must not know the severity of your actions yet! How dare you hit my face! Stay right there! I’m going to have my men bury you alive this instant!”
Queenie took out her phone and dialed a number.
However, Lucian gave her another hefty slap in the face before she could finish typing the number. The impact was so strong that Queenie even lost her grip on the phone.
Just as Queenie raised her head, Lucian seized her by the throat and lifted her up in the air.
“Ah! Let me go…
Queenie couldn’t breathe due to the man’s iron grip around her neck. She was struck by a crippling sense of fear as she began to feel like she might suffocate.
Queenie clutched Lucian’s hand and kicked her legs violently in an attempt to squirm free from Lucian’s hold. It was the very first time in her life that she had felt such a great desire to live.
“To tell you the truth, I don’t like using violence against women. However, you’re an exception when it comes to this principle of mine.”
Lucian’s eyes
burned with rage as he stared into Queenie’s eyes.
He threw his arm back and slapped Queenie’s face next.
“This is for your parents, who must have been heartbroken to be treated so cruelly by their own child. You refused to take care of them even after you became successful. Even when they were on their deathbeds, you refused to pay for their treatment and chose to watch them die instead.”
“How… How did you know about that?!”
Queenie was completely taken aback when she heard Lucian’s words.
Only a handful of people knew what happened back then. How did Lucian find out about this?
Lucian ignored her question and slapped her hard across the face.
“This is for my father. He was so supportive of you back then. He lent you money and introduced you to his connections. He practically helped you start your career. Yet, how did you repay him in
the end?”
2/5
Lucian gave Queenie another slap.
“This is for me. After graduating from high school, I helped you with your business. I treated you as a real friend. I would even share whatever I had with you unreservedly. However, you turned your back on me and called me a b*stard. Then, you even tried to get rid of me.”
“…Gould you even call yourself a human after everything that you did?”
Queenie was briefly stunned after hearing Lucian’s words. The light in her eyes seemed to dim a little.
Just then, a man came into the room. He walked over to Lucian and handed him a few documents. “Mr. Lucian, I have what you’ve asked for here.”
“Mhm.” Lucian gave a slight nod.
Lucian threw Queenie in the direction of the sofa. Then, he tossed the documents onto the sofa. He said expressionlessly, “Have a look at these documents.”
Queenie picked up one of the documents mechanically and scanned through the papers absently.
Her eyes flew open the next instant. She could hardly believe what she just read. She lifted her
gaze
and stared at Lucian in horror.
This document is a list of my wrongdoings and all the illegal activities relating to my work! Tax evasions, my involvement in helping some of my artists connect with benefactors, and many other unsavory deeds are all included here!If this document were to be released to the public, I would lose everything that I have now.
“How did you get your hands on this information, Lucian?” Queenie’s voice was shaking a little.
How did he manage to dig up all this information about me?
“That’s the least of your concern. I just want to know if you’re going to pay me the money,” Lucian said flatly.
“I’ll do it! I’ll pay you back the money!” Queenie started sobbing softly, “I wasn’t the only one who borrowed money. Gary and the others haven’t returned the money they borrowed either! Those guys borrowed a lot more money than I did. Yet, why are you only picking on me now?”
“Other than Gary, who else hasn’t repaid the money?” Lucian asked in a low voice.
“Pablo Riordan. Both of them didn’t pay back the money…”
“Very well, you should inform those two as well. I’ll be waiting inside the fast food restaurant nearby our high school tomorrow afternoon for the money from the three of you. Remember to bring the money in the correct amount with the interest included.”

Lucian picked up the documents. He smirked. “You know what the consequences are if you decide to not show up tomorrow.”
After Lucian left, Queenie sat on the sofa for a few minutes, unmoving. The thoughts of what Lucian said just a while ago filled her with endless worry and anxiety.
Queenie snapped back to her senses eventually, and she immediately dialed Pablo’s number. As soon as the line got through, Queenie told Pablo what went down in her office. She sounded extremely agitated since she was in a hurry to look for a quick solution.
I’m doomed if Lucian decides to release that information to the press or the public!
“Queenie, meet us at our usual place. We’ll discuss what to do there,” Pablo said in a grim voice.
“Alright! I’ll head out right now!”
Queenie ended the call and left her office. Soon enough, she arrived at the club where she had always frequented with Gary and Pablo.
In an exquisitely decorated private room, Pablo and Gary were chatting while having some drinks. When Queenie entered the room with a bruised, swollen face, both men got to their feet and walked over to her side.
“Queenie, your face…” Gary had a slight frown on his forehead as he pointed at Queenie’s face.
“It was Lucian, that b*stard, who did this!” Queenie could still feel a burning sensation on both of her cheeks.
“How interesting…”
Pablo lit a cigarette and drew on it. “He’s pretty much dead meat now since he’s crossed the Staleridge War G od. However, he’s not in a hurry to make a run for it. Instead, he’s trying to make us pay back the money we borrowed. Is he not afraid of dying at all?”
“Why should I pay him back the money now?”
Gary snorted, “I’m not going to pay him anything. I’m facing a lot of difficulties as well. So, why should I pay him any money?”
“We have to.” Queenie said in a raised, shaky voice, “I don’t know how, but Lucian has managed to gather evidence and records of almost all of my wrongdoings. If I don’t pay be the end of me.”

money, it’ll
Pablo and Gary were both shocked to hear that.
“I’m sure it’ll be the same for you two.”
4/5
Queenie had a somber look in her eyes. “If he’s able to dig up my dirt, he’ll be able to dig up yours too. He’s run out of options now. We won’t be able to stop it if he decides to bring all of us down with him.”
Gary’s face darkened upon hearing Queenie’s words. A dangerous light gleamed in his eyes.
“In that case, we’ll just have to make him disappear from the face of the earth…”
“Then, the dirt he had on us would also go away with him.”
