A Billionaire In Disguise

Chapter 117

With his eyes fixed solely on Jeff, Rome walked directly up to him and coldly said, "Didn't I tell you to

stay the hell away from my wife!"

"What are you talking about?" Jeff asked with a naive expression.

Staring coldly at him, Rome let out a bitter laugh. Then he turned his back to Jeff for a second before

suddenly turning around and striking him in the nose.

"I told you Catherine was not to be tempered with!" Rome lashed out.

Feeling a warm liquid rolling from his nostril, down his mouth, Jeff felt infuriated, and giving in to his

anger, he threw a punch, but Rome caught his fist before blowing the left side of his nose.

"Stop!" Madam Rosey cried in fear as she watched blood dripped from Jeff's nostril.

Ignoring her, Rome forcefully twisted Jeff's fist as he was trying to get over his nose pain, and with hurt

in his eyes, Jeff screamed, hearing the sound of his bone crack.

"I don't like repeating myself!" Rome coldly uttered as the anger in his eyes glowed brighter.

Then he let go of Jeff's hand, and even though he still felt like beating the crap out of him, he tried to

get his emotions under control, and let him be.

However, Jeff felt too humiliated to back down, so he rushed for Rome, formed a fist with his left hand,

and threw it at Rome's jaw, knocking him in the cheekbone.

Without holding back, Rome grabbed him by his shirt, almost tearing the collar, and swung him to the

floor, forcefully knocking him down on the cold tiles.

Then he clenched his fingers into a fist and raised his arm, pausing for a moment as he stared coldly

into Jeff's eyes.

"Don't you understand the word 'stop,' you fool!" Mr. Barlow lashed out.

"What! Have you lose your damn mind, you worthless idiot!" William shouted.

Scowling, Chloe rudely uttered, "Get your filthy hands off him, loser!"

"Did you become stupider than before!" Charles yelled in a fit of rage.

With a touch of anger in his eyes, Richard coldly uttered, "You are eager to sleep in jail, ain't you!"

Playing deaf to their remark, Rome viciously landed his fist in Jeff's cheek and coldly uttered, "Stay

down, or else I will hurt you really bad, and nothing will come out of it!"

"Who do you think you are to threaten my son!" Anthony lashed out.

Keeping his distance and silence, Dash frowned and thought, 'If only you all knew,' Content © NôvelDrama.Org.

Taking in a deep breath, Rome stood up. Then he stared at Anthony and coldly said, "I'm Rome, Rome

Ford."

The waiting room fell silent, and everyone looked at Rome like he had just said something dumb.

"Right, and I'm Santa Claus!" Charles rudely uttered with a frown.

In annoyance, Madam Rosey scowled and angrily intoned, "I'm calling the police. Your rebellious

attitude has gone too far."

In that instant, Mr. Orlando and K walked into the waiting room, and it suddenly grew quiet.

"What are you guys doing here?" Rome calmly uttered.

"Are you okay?" Orlando humbly asked, noticing the bloodstain on Rome's knuckles.

A look of disbelief crossed everyone's faces because they knew Mr. Orlando to be Mr. Ford's right-hand

man, and the humble manner in which he spoke to Rome sent chills down their spines.

"I'm fine. But why you are both here?" Rome asked, staring at his bruised knuckles.

"Well, umm…" K mumbled, pausing when he saw Mr. Ford walking into the room.

Raising his brows, Mr. Ford stared at the faces in the room. Then he gazed at Rome and said, "I

thought you were alone."

At that moment, his gaze rested on the cut on Rome's cheek, and he subconsciously asked, "What

happened to your face?"

"It's nothing, Father," Rome said, brushing his palm over his cheek.

Wrinkles formed on Mr. Ford's forehead as he stared at Rome, feeling shocked that his son finally

acknowledged him in front of the Barlows.

Then he smiled and said, "That's good to hear."

Speechless, Madam Rosey's eyes frozen open as the reality finally settled in that Rome was Mr. Ford's

son, and she forgot how to breathe for a moment.

"Wait a minute! He's a Ford?" Chloe asked as her face became pale.

Narrowing his eyes at Chloe, Mr. Ford glared at her and said, "Yes, he's my only son and my sole heir."

A nervous laugh escaped her lip when she realized that her cousin was actually married to the son of

the wealthiest man in the country.

But then tears suddenly welled up in her eyes, knowing that she wasn't the one married to Rome but

Catherine was.

When his gaze unintentionally met Rome's eyes, Anthony gave a rictus grin. Then he stared down at

the floor, feeling even more intimidated by Rome's presence, now that he knew who he was.

"I can't believe how stupid I was for being so close and yet so far from the truth!" Jeff mumbled as

severe pain ripped through him while he tried to get off the floor.

After balancing himself on his feet, he gave a bitter laugh and said, "It's been you all along! You are the

one behind the disasters in our family!"

Understanding what his nephew meant, Elijah felt consumed with rage, and giving in to his emotions,

he clenched his fist, and shouted, "You bastard!" Then he swung his fist at Rome.

But K hastily caught Elijah's wrist in his grip, and then spun him around, and tightly locked his hand

behind his back.

"Keep your paws to yourself and off my boss!" K coldly whispered into his ear.

With anger burning in his eyes, Mr. Ford glowered at Elijah and coldly uttered, "Watch what you say to

my son! He's the only reason all of you are not beggars on the street because if it was up to me, I

would have sunk you all to the bottom of the pit."

As a sense of fear overtook him, Elijah felt beads of sweat on his face. Then he squeezed his eyes

shut.

"You were the one who made me lose everything!" Elijah mumbled while crying because he knew that

he had been messing with the wrong person all this while.

"You all dug your own grave, I simply buried you guys in it." Rome casually said without any remorse in

his eyes.

Silence followed his remark. Then Edward slightly shook his head, trying to come to terms with the fact

that his son-in-law is someone with great power.

'No one is more right for your daughter than me. You should keep that in mind.' Rome's words echoed

into Edward's head, making him finally understand what Rome meant that morning of Chloe's wedding.

'I have been against my daughter's success this entire time.' Edward thought, feeling overwhelmed with

shame.

Then he gazed at Rome and doubtfully mumbled, "Why my daughter?"

"Because my wife is pretty amazing, and like I told you before, as her husband I'm going to support

her."

Hearing Rome call Catherine his wife, Mr. Barlow finally understood that his granddaughter was

married to a Ford, and she was actually the daughter-in-law of Mr. Ford.

When that realization settled in completely, Mr. Barlow felt discomfort in his stomach, chest pain, and

out of breath.

Then before he could utter a word, he lost consciousness and fainted. As he was about to fall to the

ground, Rome caught him in his arms.

Looking at Mr. Orlando, Rome said, "Get medical help,"

"Honey," Madam Rosey shouted, awaking from her shock.

Finally snapping out of her thoughts and getting control of her emotions, Catherine's mother hastily

said, "Which room is my daughter in?"

"Oh, my wife is at 'Golddust Hotel,' attending the conference." Rome calmly uttered with a faint smirk

on his face.

A look of shock took over the faces of all the Barlows, and with a trace of confusion in their eyes, they

stared at him speechlessly.
