Chapter 30 Hubert to the Rescue Chapter 30 Hubert to the Rescue " Wesley , have you switched from business to thuggery ? " Azalea sneered as she tried to pull away from the grasp of the bodyguards . Wesley's response was swift and harsh ; he hurled a cup of hot water in her direction , yelling , " Shut up ! Would I need to come here if you hadn't disgraced yourself ? " Azalea barely dodged , tilting her head just enough to avoid the full brunt , but still , the water splashed across her face , scalding a small area . She bit back a cry of pain . Seeing the red mark forming , Wesley momentarily regretted his action , blurting out , " Why didn't you move out of the way ? " If the cup had hit her directly , it might have left a lasting scar . Azalea met his gaze , her voice laced with irony , " Isn't that what you wanted ? To mark me ? " His patience worn thin by her words , Wesley growled , " I have no daughter as disgraceful as you ! Even if I have to use violence on you , you're coming home ! " As the bodyguards began to pull her away , Carla intervened , " Sir , is it really proper to forcibly take Ms. Yarrow from here ? " Langdon had already summoned the bodyguards when Wesley acted . If Azalea was taken away , explaining the situation to Hubert would be challenging . Meanwhile , Wesley and Azalea continued their verbal spar . " As long as you don't kill me , I'll make sure to return the favor one day ! " Azalea warned them . Wesley , infuriated , nearly lashed out again , but Cassius stepped in , trying to smooth things over , " Azalea , Dad's just upset because you're not acting right and wants to take you home . Let's go back and talk it over . " She got it . This family believed she had gotten involved with some old man and was causing trouble . Absurd ! " You're insane , spreading rumors without proof . And Wesley , did you forget the contract you signed ? You're just spewing nonsense ! " And Cassius , always playing the hero - save it . I don't need your sanctimony . " Azalea took turns tearing into Wesley and Cassius . Wesley was furious enough to choke her right there , and even the usually collected Cassius could not hide his annoyance . Panting with rage , Wesley pointed at Azalea , yelling , " No evidence ? We know you got that old man to mess with William and smear Sydney . Won't you ever admit your mistakes ? " " Smear Sydney ? " Azalea laughed bitterly . ||| ୮ 1/3 Chapter 10 Hubert to the Rescue Did Sydney really need her help to ruin her own reputation ? Fiming , Azalea shot back , " Do any of you even think ? Why don't you get your heads checked to see if stupidity runs in the family ? " The villa was in uproar when a chilling voice cut through the noise , " You two might have chosen the wrong place to cause trouble ." Before they even saw him , Ace and Deuce burst through with their team , shoving aside the guards grabbing Azalea and circling protectively around her . As they cleared a path , Hubert walked in , his expression icy as he moved to stand beside Azalea . He scanned her from head to toe , his face hardening further when he noticed the swelling on her face , the warmth in his eyes turning to frost . The anger in his gaze was palpable to anyone looking . Wesley , caught off guard by the newcomer , thought in shock , Hubert ? Why is he here ? Hubert positioned Azalea behind him , shielding her with his body . Azalea watched his back , a knot forming in her throat . It was always him coming to her rescue . Hubert , who was typically well - groomed , now appeared slightly disheveled , flanked by Ace and Deuce , ready to handle the situation . When was the last time Hubert had been this angry ? It must have been when Wylie was harassed . The audacity of the Larks to harm someone under Hubert's protection was astonishing . How daring must they be ? Having just concluded a negotiation , Hubert's assistant hurriedly returned his phone to him . The normally calm businessman was visibly agitated . He drove back himself , and as soon as he arrived , he stormed into the villa with his team . Hubert's frustration was evident ; he was a moment too late , and Azalea had already been harmed . Under his intense gaze , even though both Wesley and Cassius were experienced business figures , they felt uncomfortable pressure . Wesley attempted a conciliatory smile , " I see , this is your property , Mr. Lennox . We truly didn't mean to intrude . " Hubert scoffed dismissively . " Mr. Lark , do I look that old to you ? " The comment made Wesley's face flush with embarrassment - he had just referred to Hubert as an old man! Cassius felt a chill run down his spine , not having anticipated that Azalea's backer would be Hubert . ||| O < 2/3 Chapter 30 Hubert to the Rescue " Mr. Lennox , this is all just a big misunderstanding , he tried to explain . Misunderstanding ? " Hubert stepped forward , causing both men to instinctively retreat . He towered slightly over Cassius , " Your idea of a misunderstanding is breaking into my home , assaulting my people , attempting to abduct my guest , and insulting me as an old man ?
