Jason Lockwood's expression instantly turned grim. His hands clenched into tight fists.
Hearing Archie Summers, Julius Lockwood exploded in anger before Jason Lockwood could even speak. "Archie, you've gone too far!"
"Me? Gone too far? Am I the one who's gone too far, or is it all of you? Mr. Lockwood, I, Archie Summers, am making myself clear right here, right now. If you really insist on opposing me, I don't mind becoming just as ruthless and unfeeling as you are!" With that, Archie turned and left, holding the terrified, wailing Rory in his arms.
Watching Archie Summers leave with Eleanor Bishop and her daughter, Julius Lockwood's hand trembled as he pointed in their direction. He stammered, "You… you… you…" for a long moment before collapsing in a dead faint.
Once they were out of the Lockwood villa, Archie, his face dark, shoved Rory into Eleanor Bishop's arms. "Make her shut up. The noise is killing me!"
