A sudden hush fell over the room, the stillness palpable as uncertainty and fear crept into everyone’s


    eyes. No one could predict Caleb’s next move.


    The silence in the living room was broken only momentarily before the ce erupted once again.


    “You lunatic, what the heck are you on about?” The olddy’s son–inw moved as if to take a swing


    at Colin.


    “The Langleys owe you nothing, spoiled you with roast beef and gravy, and not a thank you. Instead,


    youe here causing a scene, with faces thicker than the city walls!” I stepped forward to shield


    Colin.


    The man, crazed with emotion, came at me with a push.


    Colin wrapped his arm around me, pulled me close, and kicked the man away. “Don’t touch


    her!”


    The fury in Colin was palpable, his icy gaze drilling into the man he had just sent sprawling to the floor.


    “You want to die? I can make that happen.”


    He picked up a golf club that was lying nearby and took a menacing step toward the man.


    “Ah!” The man recoiled in terror, nearly wetting himself. “Madman, he’s lost it… Mom, he’s gone mad!


    He’s going to kill me!”


    Colin’s swing stopped short, the club hovering in the air as he looked back at me, his eyes holding a


    taut restraint.


    Perhaps, had I not been there


    that club would have connected.


    Was he afraid… the blood would frighten me? Or was he scared I’de to fear him?


    The olddy was terrified now, her finger trembling as she pointed at Colin. “You, you… you


    madman.”


    Colin let out a coldugh and prodded the olddy back onto the couch with the golf club.


    The olddy looked like she was about to have a heart attack.


    “Bang!”


    Colin brought the club down hard on a ss divider, shattering it.


    As Colin lost control, everyone else paled with fear, scrambling to escape.


    “Don’t leave! Didn’t you guys want to die?” Colin’s smirk was genuinely unsettling.


    He smashed the objects around him, preferring to shatter them rather than let these people take them.


    These people hade today to rob the Langley family blind.

    Screams filled the air as they fled in panic, terrified Colin might kill them in his rage.


    Colin kept smashing, a man possessed.


    “Eric, do something! He’s lost it,” the olddy’s daughter cried out to Eric.


    Eric had been standing by the door all this time, detached, with the security guards blocking the exit.


    He spoke apologetically, “I’m sorry, but Mr. Caleb has a Certification of Psychological Disability. When


    he’s out of control, nobody can handle him.”


    At that moment, I saw Eric coolly produce Colin’s Certification of Psychological Disability


    once again.


    The others were petrified, screaming and crying as they scrambled to their feet and ran for


    the door.


    Especially the olddy’s son–inw, who was utterly terrified when Colin pinned him down..


    “Mom, he’s a madman, a madman! Run!”

    Chaos reigned in the living room for a moment, and then the olddy, shaky on her feet, was helped up


    by her daughter, and they, too, fled.


    “Madman! Madman! The Langley family is doomed with you, a madman, in charge!”


    “It’s all going to fall apart!”


    Soon enough, the living room quieted down.


    I opened my mouth and then gave a thumbs up; indeed, sometimes it takes a bit of madness to quell


    the chaos.


    Colin dropped the golf club, his menacing aura dissipating instantly, those icy eyes suddenly brimming


    with vulnerability. “Phoebe… I’m scared. They came into our house to take our


    stuff.”


    My mouth twitched involuntarily.


    Who should really be scared here? I’m terrified…


    “Madam, the Langley family’s distant rtives have always basked in the generosity of the main


    branch. When Mr. Brendan was in charge, they each received a substantial stipend every month,


    ranging from ten to fifty grand, but sadly, they never learned gratitude. Mr. Caleb cut off their allowance,


    and he had every right to do so,” Eric exined for Colin.


    I nodded in agreement. “They don’t deserve it. These people will never be loyal.”


    Eric nodded in concurrence.


    “But… these people are still part of the Langley family. If they all turn around and throw their support for


    Henry…” I looked up at Eric, pondering the ramifications.
