“That old geezer!”
Once Mr. Zink left, Dan slammed his hand angrily on the table. His eyes were filled with anger. “We’ve accompanied him for so many years, and now he wants to give everything to that bastard Thomas!”
Tina squinted and looked at the scene outside the window. Her tone was cold as she declared,”
I think it’s about time we deal with that old geezer. We can’t let him live.”
She added, “Even if we used the safety of Mr. Zink’s family to threaten him, the old geezer will suspect something if the time drags on for too long. Who knows if he’ll change to other lawyers? We have to shut him up before his will is drafted.”
This evidently took Dan by surprise as he stared at his mother in shock. “Mom… What… do you mean? A–Are you going to kill that old geezer?”
Tina looked back at her son and sneered, “What do you think? Are you just going to watch Thomas inherit everything?”
Dan bit his lip and looked troubled. “But…”
His voice trembled, “But that old geezer… He’s my father! I heard that you’ll receive divine judgment for hurting and killing your own father…”
Tina sneered and was disappointed with her cowardly imbecile son. “You treat him as a father, but has he treated you as his own? If he truly cares for you, why doesn’t he leave anything for you?”
Dan’s face flushed pale and said nothing.
“If there’s truly such judgment in this world, those women you raped and all those aborted children of yours will come looking for you by now.”
Upon receiving no response from her son, Tina snorted coldly and indifferently added, “Do you seriously think I don’t know all the things you did? It was I who cleaned up after your mess and troubles. Think about why those women never come and bother you.
“You’re not afraid of judgment when you toyed with women and force them to have abortions, but it concerns you when it comes to killing that old geezer?”
After scolding Dan, Tine left the storeroom. As she was at the end of the hallway, she tried calling Denise again.
Like before, she thought no one would pick up the phone. However, the call strangely got through this time.
Finally, there was a place for Tina to vent her anger.
“Denise, why didn’t you pick up my calls? The maid in the mansion had told me that everything went as planned. Why–“
“This is Steven.”
A low, deep male voice rang out before Tina could continue. “Denise is asleep. I’ll be keeping her phone from now on. Mrs. Howard, I already know everything that happened today.”
He paused for a while before continuing to talk remotely, “Denise is my sister, not a tool for you to use to fight for your games. She’ll no longer contact you or be related to you from now on. I also hope that you’ll never contact her anymore. She’s a pure–hearted girl that’ll trust everything you say, so I’ll never let her contact you people anymore.”
After that, Steven hung up the phone.
As Tina listened to the busy dial tone from her phone, she squinted her eyes. ‘So Steven had stuck his nose in this matter. That explains it.’
No wonder Denise did not contact her even after the plan succeeded.
Tina paused and thought for a while. After that, she made another call. This time, the person she called was Kate.
Truth be told, she had another plan today. To avoid attention, she looked for Kate to help her.
“Hello.”
The call got through.
“Did you succeed, Ms. Miller?” asked Tina hastily. “Is Riley–”
“No.”
Kate’s voice was cold. “When we got to the hospital, the child was gone.”
Tina was disappointed to hear that, her eyebrows furrowed at the news. However, she was relentless. “Are you pulling my leg now, Ms. Miller? Isn’t the doctor of the kid a member of your medical organization? With that doctor around, how could that child go missing? She’s just a few months old, and she can’t run off on her own.”
The child was her last resort to fight with Thomas. Originally, she thought Denise had succeeded, so she did not need to lay her hand on the child.
The current predicament, however, made her turn to her last resort.
Her surprise was imminent when she was informed the child was gone.
“Well, of course the child can’t walk on her own, but someone else can carry her,”
Kate answered without caring much about it. “Aunt Tina, I’ll find out who took the child away as soon as I’m free, but you know I’m currently very busy. I still don’t know how to settle Steven yet, so please stop bugging me about this.”
After that, Kate hung up the phone apathetically.
Tina furrowed her brow vehemently as she listened to the busy dial tone on the phone. Before her plan took place today, Kate had always been very supportive to the point that she was the one who arranged for the doctor from her family’s medical organization to treat Riley so they could monitor the infant all the time.
Tina would have never thought about using Riley to threaten Thomas and Yannie had Kate not brought it up. However…
Tina closed her eyes. It seemed that even Kate knew that the person the old geezer cared about the most was Thomas.
She needed to prioritize killing the old geezer into her agenda. It could not be delayed any longer.
After Kate hung up the phone, she cocked up her head and looked at Steven who was sitting in the chair in front of her. “Happy?”
Steven lowered his head and toyed with Denise’s phone. He raised his head and looked at Kate’s face with an indifferent expression. “I’m doing this for your own good; Tina and Dan can never outdo Thomas. Furthermore, he has Brettley helping him now.”
He curled up his lips into a smile and added, “I don’t know Brettley that well, but I’m sure you do. If you truly help Tina to hurt Thomas’ daughter, which is the child Brettley used to take care of…I’m sure you know what the consequences will be.”
Kate furrowed her brow vehemently. She narrowed her eyes and said, “Yes, you’re right, but that doesn’t mean Tina and I don’t have any chance of winning. If we really do something to the child, I know Thomas and Brettley will cave in.”
Steven merely squinted at this and said nothing.
Kate leaned back and switched to a more comfortable posture. She looked at Steven plainly.”
Well, I kinda help you this time so Brettley and Thomas would be indebted to you, so you owe me one.”
She curled up her lips and raised her brow. “How are you going to repay me?”
Steven did not expect her to ask this question. He curled up his lips and glanced at her plainly.”
I thought that not going through the things you lied to me is repaying you.”
Kate averted her gaze guiltily upon hearing this, not daring to make eye contact. “When did I ever lie to you?”
“Many times.”
Steven stared at Kate frostily. “Should I list them down for you? You kept talking bad about Gwen in front of me and then went and told her how much I dislike her. I know everything.”
Kate’s face turned pale instantly. She pursed her lips and wanted to say something but failed to say anything.
“I’ll remember your kindness. I’ll no doubt do my best to assist you should you ever face difficulties in the future. However, t I will never get back with you,”
Steven said.
After that, he stood up and left. Kate remained in the chair as she watched Thomas leave. She bit her lip quietly. When the sound of the engine started from downstairs, she swiped everything on the table to the floor angrily. Cling! Clank! Crash!
Everything on the table fell to the floor. The glasses, decorations–everything was shattered into pieces.
Kate sat back in the chair as her gaze burned with malice.
Sooner or later, she was going to kill that bitch Gwen. She would have been Steven’s wife had that whore not come to Saigen City!
Once again, she threw everything within her reach to the floor.
At that moment, her phone rang. It was an unknown number. She glanced at that number and sneered coldly. ‘How dare he call me now?’
She answered the call coldly.
“Ms. Miller, I’m in danger now! Can you please…”
Kate raised her brow coldly. “When are you going to kill Gwen?”
The man on the other side of the phone was stunned. After that, he lowered his voice, “I just went out. When I got her, I noticed Brettley’s men were everywhere around the house. I–I think they know I’m here now.
“Ms. Miller, could you…please get another place for me to stay?”
Kate curled up her lips and sneered. “I’ll settle everything for you after you kill Gwen. For now …settle it yourself, Malcolm. If you can’t avoid and get caught by Brettley and Thomas’ men, I have plenty of people to do the dirty work for me. I don’t necessarily need you.”
Malcolm panicked on the other side of the phone as he heard what Kate said. “Ms. Miller. please…I beg you! Please save me!”
He was squatting among the bushes behind the street while wearing a thin trench coat. He looked at the people going in and out of the mansion he lived in as his gaze frantically darted around.
