Chapter 359
“Zachariah! It’s good to see you back in the pink of health! Everyone is worried about you!” Darcy also walked over and smiled with concern.
Zachariah sneered in his heart. Had he not overheard the conversation between the two when he was unconscious, he would have thought the two of them were good-hearted relatives. Hist face darkened and he snorted coldly, “Bodyguards, please!”
A group of bodyguards then rushed in from outside.
Zachariah immediately said, “Did you think I wouldn’t hear what the two of you said earlier? You were hoping to see me die so you could divide my assets among yourselves, and you even. said that you’d cause an accident to kill my daughter. I might be unconscious and unable to open my eyes, but I heard every single thing you said!” After ending his sentence, he took at step forward and glared at the other party as he said, “I have never treated you unfairly, so it brings me great disappointment when I found out how ungrateful the two of you are.”
“Seriously? Sean is too ambitious!”
“Indeed. I never would have expected that, although I did hear that they’re not good people. since they tend to make life difficult for their subordinates!”
The other Ballard relatives whispered among themselves and pointed at the two of them.
“This is a misunderstanding! You’re mistaken! We never said anything like that!” The two of them were shocked at first, but Sean immediately calmed down and said to Zachariah, “Your misheard us! It’s probably due to the hallucinations you had when you were unconscious. earlier, or because you were dreaming. Darcy and I could never say such things!”
Darcy immediately doubled down. “Yes, that’s right. You were probably hearing things while you were unconscious. We can never bring ourselves to do something like that! That’s something we could never do, even if we were as brave as ten lions!”
“Tch!” Zachariah snorted again. “You were thinking of suffocating me with a pillow and yet you say you wouldn’t dare? If Mister Severin hadn’t saved my life today, my family’s assets would’ve been divided between the two of you, would it not?”
“By the conscience of all that is good, you must’ve misheard us!” Darcy placed her hand over her heart. “I’m speaking from my conscience!”
“Stop pretending, you two! Mister Severin and I heard every single bit of your conversation!” Sheila shook her head helplessly. “I didn’t expect you to be that sort of person!”
“Kick them out and freeze their bank accounts immediately. They are only allowed to take a few clothes with them. Do not allow them to take cars or anything of value!” Zachariah told. his men. He then waved his hand and said to the two of them, “You are no longer a part of the Ballards. Don’t even think about taking any of my assets!”
“We have made significant contributions to the company and the family! How could you treat us like this, Zachariah?” Sean could not accept what was happening.
Darcy went so far as to say, “Does it matter if we said something like that? Sean and I were just joking! Are we forbidden from making jokes now?”
“Get out now, or I’ll tell the bodyguards to break your legs!” Zachariah could not help but roar
angrily.
