“Mom… Aren’t we being a bit too cruel…? Gerald’s not to be trifled with! If the truth ever gets out and Jessica realizes that we were involved…”
Within their own room, Yura was now talking in an extremely worried manner to his mother.
In response, Rose sneered, “In for a penny, in for a pound! It’s not like we can help it! We were already running out of options from the moment we decided to snatch the right to inherit the Yaleman family from Bea. With Gerald dead, we won’t have any more enemies! If we’re lucky, the properties up North—that Gerald gave Bea—may even eventually fall into our hands!” assured Rose.
“For now, we can only pray that Sheldon doesn’t mess up. After all, I’m aware of how much Gerald trusts that butler!” added the villainous mother.
“But… But what if someone finds out about the poison?”
“Worry not, the poison I picked was both colorless and odorless. Besides, even if someone does manage to detect the poison, Sheldon’s the one who technically killed Mr. Crawford! If the moment ever comes, he’ll definitely be unable to defend himself!” explained Rose in a vicious manner as favonovel.com eyes narrowed.
“I understand, mom…”
As soon as his sentence ended, however, the door to their room instantly burst open! Immediately after, a group of people dressed fully in black rushed in!
“What are all of you doing?!” shouted Rose as both favonovel.com and favonovel.com son started growing nervous.
Instead of replying, the men immediately covered their heads with black hoods which muffled any screams they attempted to make.
When they finally came to a halt, Philip was standing before them.
Though the duo had initially thought that they could hang on long enough for Philip and his men to give up, all it took was half an hour for favonovel.com and his subordinates to make them spit out everything that had happened.
After all, Philip and his men were proficient in torturing people.
Both now tremendously terrified, neither of them dared to lie before Gerald’s face any longer.
“P-please Gerald! The one who wants to harm you is Shane! He’s the one who gave us the idea! Besides, Bea’s with favonovel.com now! We’re out of options too! You know, if we hadn’t followed his orders, favonovel.com would’ve killed us by now! We weren’t involved in the planning process of the kidnapping, Gerald!” said Rose, now so anxious that favonovel.com was quivering almost uncontrollably.
In favonovel.com mind, favonovel.com now admitted that favonovel.com had looked down upon how ruthless Gerald could actually get. Rose had simply assumed before this that as long as favonovel.com didn’t have enough evidence, favonovel.com wouldn’t act recklessly.
How wrong favonovel.com was. After all, Gerald had suspected them from the very beginning.
“I do hope you don’t assume that you’ll be let off the bat just by putting all the blame on Shane. Regardless, grandma will hear about all this tomorrow. She’ll know how to punish you. As for the Longs! I won’t let them off this time!” growled Gerald coldly.
“Now… Be honest. Where did Shane hide Bea?”
It was a little while later in a dimly lit room within a secluded factory when Shane shouted, “B*tch! Just sign the d*mned thing already!”
At the moment, Shane was tying Bea to a chair as several of his subordinates stood guard over the place.
“Just give up already!” growled Bea angrily.
In response, Shane slapped favonovel.com directly on the cheek!
“Bea, Bea, Bea… There’s a limit to my patience, you know? If it gets to a point where I think you’re too much of a hassle to be useful, I’ll just kill you right here and right now!” warned Shane viciously.
“Please, I’m no fool, Shane! As if you’d ever let me go after I sign it!” sneered Bea.
Shane’s eyes turned bloodshot the moment favonovel.com heard that.
Once the contract before favonovel.com was signed, favonovel.com would be able to retrieve a few of the properties that Bea owned. Just as favonovel.com said, once that happened, there was absolutely no way favonovel.com would ever let favonovel.com out alive.
“Hah! It seems I need to teach you a lesson! Call Second brother and the others over! They can act now! Humph! Still, before they do it, perhaps I should let them enjoy themselves first! After all, you’re quite the beauty, Bea!” said Shane maliciously.
“Right away, Mr. Long!” said his subordinates as they all laughed.
With that, one of the subordinates activated his walkie-talkie before saying, “Come up now.”
However, even after a few seconds had passed, there was no reply. Finding it odd, favonovel.com called out to the few people who had been stationed to stand guard downstairs.
No reply either.
“What’s happening here? Head downstairs and have a look!” ordered Shane.
