Chapter 112 Settling The Score Now
As Emrys spoke, he glared at Gerald.

Emrys had wanted to settle this score with the Chalkers during Tyson’s sixtieth birthday, but too many things had happened lately. The Chalkers seemed to be eager to court death, so Emrys had no choice but to bring his plan forward.
Gerald’s b*dy shook. “What is Sunshine Children’s Home to you?”
“I was a member of the orphanage fifteen years ago, and I nearly died in the fire. So, what do you think the orphanage is to me?”
The color drained out of the Chalkers‘ faces when they heard that.

Hah! So there really is more to the fire.
As Emrys‘ gaze turned glacial, a murderous look crept onto his face. He snapped, “If you don’t want the Chalker family to be obliterated, then spill everything you know about what happened fifteen years ago right now.”
“Have mercy on us, Mr. Lund!” Gerald slammed his head onto the ground as he prostrated before Emrys. In a shaky voice, he went on, “Yes, I was the one who set the fire fifteen years ago, but it
