Chapter 67
At eight o’clock in the evening, all the people arrived at the King family’s old house. The atmosphere in the hall was depressing.
The heating in the room is very high, but I still feel very cold.
With the help of Wasim, old master went downstairs. His face was gloomy and the wrinkles on his face were deeper than before.
He was old and in poor health, so the company’s affairs had been handed over to his eldest grandson, Edmund.
He seldom asked about his family.
If it weren’t for Rudolf’s scandal, he wouldn’t have come out to suffer.
Wasim helped old master sit down on the sofa, and all the people sat on the sofa one by one, with a serious expression on their faces, not daring to breathe heavily.
I sat at the end of the line, facing Myrna. Diagonally opposite to me, Edmund sat cross legged with a mobile phone, looking a little absent-minded.
That’s right. Today, old master was going to deak wutg the people of the two families. As the eldest grandson of the eldest branch and the heir of the King family, he just wanted to watch a good show.
Ophelia was also watching the show.
After old master sat down, Wasim served him a cup of tea and helped him take two sips. He raised his head without saying a word and hit Rudolf’s forehead with his walking stick.
Rudolf was stunned by the impact. “Dad, what are you doing?”.
“What do you think I am doing? Unfilial son, are you going to piss me off?” old master was so angry that his voice was trembling.
“Dad, don’t listen to those reporters’ nonsense. It’s not what they said. I have nothing to do with Lorna.” Rudolf tried to defend himself.
But as soon as he said, Ophelia’s gloating voice sounded, “Lorna? It’s so intimate. You even have a child. ”
“Ophelia, shut up. What do you know? What kind of child? The reporters made up the story.” Rudolf glared at Ophelia.
“Nonsense? Why don’t you tell those reporters? Why don’t you hold a press conference?”
Whitney, who had been sitting on the sofa silently, suddenly stood up, walked up to old master and knelt down, “Father, please don’t blame Rudolf. It’s all my fault. It’s my fault. I didn’t take good care of my husband and maintain this family, which resulted in today’s situation. I’m willing to bear all the consequences. I’ve asked the lawyer to draft the divorce agreement, and I should be able to come out tomorrow. I don’t want everything of the King family. I’ll leave this family.”
Almost everyone was shocked by her words. I was shocked too!
However, Edmund, who had been looking down at his phone, didn’t even raise his head. It seemed that he had expected such a result.Copyright by Nôv/elDrama.Org.
“Mom, what are you doing? Get up.” Eugene stood up and tried to help Whitney up.
However, Whitney pushed him away gently. “Eugene, you’ve grown up and will be a father soon. There’s nothing I can’t worry about. I can’t stay in this family anymore. You don’t have to persuade me.”
“Whitney, you… You don’t have to do this. I know it’s not your fault.” old master felt sorry for her.
“Dad, I know you don’t like Rudolf or me, but I have no choice. No matter how much you don’t like him, he is also your son. You can’t give him up. Don’t wait until something happens to him and then realize that he has disgraced the King family.” When Whitney said this, her tone was full of resentment.
“Honey, don’t be impulsive. I won’t divorce you.” Rudolf rushed to her and helped her up from the ground.
Whitney looked at him with sarcasm in her eyes. “Isn’t this the result you’ve always wanted before? I’ll fulfill your wish. Since you’ve been with that Miss Lorna, I’ll give up my position and you’ll marry her. Isn’t that all right?”
When Rudolf was about to persuade Edmund to stay, Wasim suddenly said to Wasim, “turn on the TV, Wasim.”
I don’t know what he is up to.
Wasim winked at a servant. The servant quickly turned on the TV in the living room and handed the remote control to Edmund.
Edmund changed two channels and finally stopped on the live broadcast of the entertainment channel.
In the video, the gaunt Lorna was holding a press conference accompanied by Lyndon.
Seeing this, Whitney couldn’t bear it anymore. She pushed Rudolf away and stood straight. “That’s the fate of our marriage. If you go to the lawyer’s office and sign your name tomorrow, we will have nothing to do with each other.”
After saying that, she turned around and walked out of the hall without waiting for Rudolf to ask her to stay.
Seeing this, Rudolf hurried to catch up with her.
Because of the press conference, old master was so angry that he couldn’t hold on any longer. Supported by Wasim, he went upstairs to have a rest. Worried about old master, Ophelia called the doctor and followed Wasim upstairs.
All of a sudden, the people in the living room dispersed, leaving only Edmund, Eugene, two brothers, Myrna and me.
In the TV, Lorna was still telling the reporters her unrequited love with Rudolf, with snot and tears in her eyes, in order to gain sympathy.
Eugene couldn’t stand it anymore. he walked up to Edmund, grabbed the remote control from his hand, turned off the TV, grabbed his collar and snapped, “I know you’re playing tricks. Edmund, don’t be complacent. Do you think you can break up my family by doing this?”
With a sneer on his face, Edmund looked at him and said, “I think so.”
“You…” Eugene’s face suddenly turned pale. he suddenly loosened his grip on his collar and covered his chest.
Seeing this, I knew he was ill. I quickly stood up, walked to him and squatted down, looking for medicine in his pocket.
Edmund continued in a cold voice, “I forgot to tell you one more thing. Royston has agreed to cooperate with me. As for the ten percent shares in your hands, he will give them to me as cash gift.”
I finally found Eugene’s medicine and wanted to feed him, but Eugene grabbed my wrist tightly, and whispered something. I looked up at Edmund in front of me with an unbelievable expression.
Eugene was sent to the hospital.
When I came out of the big house, it snowed unexpectedly.
This was the first snow this year, freezing.
Edmund and Myrna went out behind me. Seeing that I didn’t look well, Myrna said, “Leanna, don’t worry. Eugene will be fine. It’s too cold. Let Edmund drive you home.”
“No, thanks. I have a driver.” I didn’t turn around. After saying that, I walked in the heavy snow towards the garage at the door.
My mind went blank. The words Eugene said to me before fainted echoed clearly in my mind.
“Edmund won’t let me get out of the hospital alive. If I die, the baby in your belly won’t live either.”
Why did he say that? Would Edmund really stop Eugene from leaving the hospital alive?
Tonight, he had a complete victory.
He succeeded in breaking up Eugene’s family and turning his partner against him.
Now Eugene was no longer a threat to him. How could he hurt Eugene again?
Whitney seemed to have made up her mind when she went to the mansion, so after we left, her luggage was taken away and directly sent to Mother’s house.
The family of four went out, and now I’m the only one back home.
Fortunately, Whitney left Petra to take care of me.
When I walked in, I felt my body was cold from inside to outside.
When Petra saw me, she immediately walked up to her and said, “young lady, you’re back. Where is Master?”
“Hospital.” I left these two words and went upstairs.
At this moment, I am very tired, with unprecedented exhaustion all over my body.
Eugene said that if he died, my baby wouldn’t be able to live.
I don’t understand.
In the middle of the night, I was sleeping in bed.
Suddenly, there was a knock on the door.
我When I was about to open the door, I saw the door was pushed open from the outside and a familiar figure came in.
When I was about to say something, that figure walked up to me and picked me up from the bed.
“Edmund, why are you here?”
His face showed a ferocious smile in the shadow. “Of course I’m here for you. Eugene is going to die, Rudolf is going to be ruined, and Whitney has left the King family. Now, only you and the baby in your belly are left in the two bedrooms. How can I let you go?”
I’ve never seen him so hateful. I was so scared that I wanted to jump out of his arms.
But he was so strong that I couldn’t get rid of him at all. Soon, I was carried to the balcony. The window was open, and the cold wind poured directly into my nightgown. I felt so cold that I got goose bumps all over.
“Edmund, what are you doing?” I grabbed his clothes tightly and asked in fear.
“What do you think?” He sneered and took me directly to the window. As soon as he loosened his hand, my body was thrown out of the window.
“Ah…” I screamed and held his hand tightly. My body was hung outside the window.
“Let go.”
“No, you will regret it. Edmund, please pull me up.” I begged for mercy while his expensive suit was wrinkled by my hand.
“I won’t!” As he spoke, he separated my fingers one by one.
I fell down in a straight line. Everything in the room, including Edmund’s familiar handsome face, was getting farther and farther away from me.
I’m dying
Closing my eyes, I am waiting for death to come.
The next second, when I opened my eyes, I found myself still in the room, on the soft and comfortable bed.
Was it a dream?
I raised my hand to touch my forehead, only to find that it was wet and full of sweat.
I turned around and looked at the electronic watch on the bedside table. It showed that it was two o’clock in the morning.
I went to the bathroom and took a hot shower to wash away the sweat on my body.
The dream just now was so horrible.
How could I dream that Edmund was going to kill me?
Was it because of Eugene’s words?
I changed clothes and walked out of the bathroom. I turned down the temperature of the heating in the room a little, which made me feel very thirsty.
I poured a glass of warm water and drank it.
When I turned around and was about to go back to bed, there was a knock on the door.
What happened in my dream just now made me feel bad. I didn’t open the door directly, but asked subconsciously, “who?”
“young lady, it’s me.” Petra’s voice came from outside.
“Petra? It’s so late. What’s up?”
“Master’s secretary, Sheila, is in the living room downstairs. She wants to see you.” Said Petra.
Sheila?
I can’t help but feel more strange. It’s so late. Why did she come?
I put on my coat, opened the door and went downstairs with Petra.
The light was on in the living room. Sheila sat on the sofa wearily. The snow outside was getting heavier and heavier. Looking from the room, the ground was white.
When she saw me coming downstairs, she immediately stood up and greeted, “madam, nice to meet you.”
“Sheila, it’s so late. Why are you here?” Petra helped me sit on the sofa and asked.
“I came here under the order of Mr. Eugene.” As she spoke, she took out a stack of documents from her briefcase.
“Eugene asked you to come here? Isn’t Eugene in the hospital? Has he recovered?”
She shook her head. “Mr. Eugene can’t go out of the hospital. His illness is very serious and has been maintained by medicines over the years He had imagined that there would be a suitable heart before next year, and his disease would be saved. But now… It is almost impossible.”
“Why is it impossible? As long as he is still alive, there is hope, isn’t there?”
A wry smile appeared on her face. “Do you think Edmund will live till that day?”
“What do you mean?” I don’t understand why Eugene thinks Edmund won’t let him go.
“Do you know why Mr. Eugene was willing to sell ten percent of The King group’s shares to Royston before?”.
“Isn’t it for Royston to deal with Edmund?”
She shook her head and said, “that’s not The reason at all. The King group is his family’s property. Do you really think he will destroy his family’s property in order to hit Edmund?”
“Then why didn’t he deny when I asked him?”
“So what? You’ve already known what kind of person he is. You’ve probably always thought that Mr. Eugene married you to deal with the eldest master, haven’t you?”
“Isn’t it?” I’m a little confused. Have I been wrong all the time?
“It was true at the beginning, but later…” she paused for a moment. “Don’t you really feel Mr. Eugene’s love for you?”
My heart was completely in a mess.
What did she mean?
Did Eugene fall in love with me?
“His health is getting worse and worse. He even gave up on you from the bottom of his heart for a period of time until he knew your existence. At the beginning, he approached you in order to frustrate you. He knew your love for you, and even thought of controlling you to take back his heart. But he didn’t do anything for such a long time. Have you ever thought about why?”
