Second Boss!?

* * *

"I am so angry right now! Darling, how can you have her blood running through your veins when you are such a sweetheart? I am so angry, she dared claim that my Chen would have an affair with his son-in-law!? Hanlu, if your father heard what that woman had said, she would not just receive that slap. How dare she! How dare she even said Minmin deserved to be thrown away? Our very first grandchild, to be thrown away? Is she digging her own grave? I'll make sure Gabriel knows about what his daughter-in-law had said. Let's see if she could still keep her reputation in the Sullen Family that she's so proud of. " Mrs. Mo continued to express her obvious displeasure as she paced into the room. Hanlu massages his mother's shoulders while they stayed in a VIP room at a restaurant.

Daniel only looked down and apologize to his Mother-in-law on his biological mother's behalf. Although Daniel doesn't consider her as his mother, at the end of the day, she was the one who gave birth to him. She was the one who gave him life even though the woman didn't fulfill her role as a parent to Daniel. Additionally, Daniel didn't enjoy fighting and so if it would better for him to stay quiet then he would do that and continue living his life peacefully.

" Oh no, Darling. You don't have to apologize. That woman is just shameless and didn't have a good character. God knew she was that kind of person so he gave you to Diane. " Laura Mo said holding on Daniel's arms, finally calming down after noticing the Omega's saddened look.

" Mom, don't be too angry that's not good with your health. " Hanlu reminded and gave his mother a glass of water that she accepted right away saying thank you.

Meanwhile, Diane Lopez held Mo Luangmin on her arms, listening to the two. The scene she witnessed earlier shocked her. Mrs. Susan Sullen was Daniel's biological mother, but the way she treated Daniel earlier, it's as if she was looking at someone completely unrelated to her.

With her heart pounding painfully fast, she imagined the years her beloved son spent his time with the vicious woman and Diane could not help but feel pain for her son.

" I'm sorry my baby, mommy couldn't defend you at all. " She finally voiced out looking at his precious son, Daniel. She was also very furious with Susan Sullen but she didn't have the courage to talk back. She wanted to slap the woman for accusing Daniel as much as Laura but she couldn't do it. Her feet won't move because she is that kind of person. Never had the courage to fight back. She hated herself for that.

Even though Daniel didn't come from her and her husband, she was the one who raised Daniel and treated him like her own. Even when she learned that Daniel was not hers, she still accepted Daniel as her son without a doubt.

When Daniel parted with her, she felt brokenhearted. But she also believed that as a mother, Susan Sullen must have missed his son so she silently let Daniel go. Hoping that he would get better love with his real parents but now,

What Mrs. Sullen said earlier had broken her heart again for Daniel. She didn't know they wronged her son all those years. Pain invaded Mrs. Lopez's that she couldn't stop her tears from falling. She regretted ever letting his beloved son leave her side. All those years she should have tried harder to reach him. She knew Daniel's personality so much and so she knew that Daniel would feel shame coming back.

"Mommy, it's okay. I'm fine. What she said didn't affect me at all." Slightly in panic, Daniel coaxes his mother who's now with tears on her cheeks. Daniel immediately took Minmin away from her and handed him to Mo Laotian before facing his mother again wiping those huge droplets of salty water.

" Daine, it's not your fault at all. We have Laotian to defend for Daniel now. I'm just very nosy that I stepped in. " Mrs. Mo explained looking at the dejected Mrs. Lopez. For the past 3 days that she has been with Daine, Laura discovered that she has a very delicate personality, very quiet and reserve, also very timid. It was obvious this is where Daniel took this personality as well.

Mrs. Lopez shakes her head and then looked at Daniel again.

" Mommy and Daddy didn't know. We didn't know you have been suffering all those years. I'm sorry my baby. I'm sorry. " Mrs. Lopez repeated as she cried that it caused Daniel to start crying as well. Laura Mo also shed tears watching the two.

" Mommy it's okay. I'm fine now. I have all of you to love me. I don't feel sad at all. Please don't cry. " Daniel coax again. Laotian and Hanlu observe the three from the side. Even Luangmin who's on his father's arms also seems confused. Both Laotian and Hanlu just couldn't understand why the situation had become so emotional.

After a couple of minutes of the trio being emotional, they had finally calmed down that they even started laughing at each other. 'Were women and Omegas always like this?' Hanlu thought.

Hanlu looked at Laotian hoping to see the same reaction but disappointingly, Hanlu grimace finding out his brother was affectionately staring at Daniel like a weird man. If Mo Laotian doesn't have his face, he would definitely pass as Daniel's weird admirer and a stalker with his gaze.

" ehemmm, so how about we finally order something? " Giving up with his older brother to back him up, Hanlu cleared his voice and stopped the three from being overly emotional.

" Hmm yeah, that's a good idea Xiao Lu, call someone to take our order. " Mrs. Mo suggested causing the Alpha to pout and pressed the button at the side of their table. Seconds later, a small curvy woman arrived to take their order. Hanlu signaled her to come closer with a smile which she responded with her professional smile.

It didn't take long until the food had arrived. They started eating lunch like the incident earlier didn't happen and when they finished, Mrs. Mo and Mrs. Lopez decided to back home while Daniel and Luangmin were dragged by Laotian to the Mo Empire.

Daniel was not planning to visit the Alpha's workplace but because Laotian insisted, and with his excuse that his heat might come back, he was forced to go.

Arriving at the parking lot underground, Daniel started sweating nervously. This is his first time coming to the Alpha's workplace. Although many must have known him when he went to the Empire hotel months ago, Daniel knew that him, being with Laotian today will shock everyone. It's his first appearance in the public as Laotian's wife, well technically husband.

" Are you nervous? " Laotian asked which Daniel responded with a nod. His hold on Luangmin had significantly become a little tighter.

" Don't be nervous, brother-in-law, even if they see you today, they won't dare spread rumors. They also have no other choice but to accept you whether or not they like you as their second boss.

" Hanlu said confidently, assuring Daniel.

" Ha? Aren't you the second boss? " Daniel replied confused. Second Boss? Doesn't that title appointed to Mo Hanlu, given that he's the second heir? It was only right for him to be the second boss since Hanlu will also inherit the Empire.

"Older brother will inherit a larger share than me and Tian Zi. What older brother owns is also yours so you are their future second boss. " Hanlu explained. As a matter of fact, he does not consider himself a boss. He was most likely playing in the company, wanting to help Mo Laotian. It's just surprising that he had talent in business. Additionally, he has no desire to inherit troublesome things. Even if he doesn't work, he would still live a carefree life, free of all the stress in the company.

" Let's go? " Laotian pulled Daniel closer to him glaring at his younger brother. He was upset that Daniel was talking to Hanlu when he was there. He felt left out in the conversation.

" What?? I'm just saying, why are you glaring at me? " Hanlu defended. He didn't understand why would his older brother glare at him. Hanlu looked at the way the Alpha held Daniel and he finally gets it, his older brother was upset and jealous that he was being ignored by his wife for a couple of seconds.

" *smirks* As if I'll steal him from you. Bunnies aren't even my type, I like wild tigers. " Hanlu crosses his arms and then walk ahead of the couple into the elevator. Daniel just chuckled at the way Hanlu was acting. He's like a child that has been wronged by his parent for bullying his sibling.

The trio walked trailing the way inside the company at the same time at the Sullen Corporation, Second Master Sullen received a call from his wife being in prison at the moment. After hearing the whole story, Father Sullen immediately contacted the family lawyer. He then proceeds to the police station where his wife has been kept.
