Chapter 186 Let's See Who Gets Killed First
Melvin froze and was rooted to the ground. He stared at the pistol on his waist and took two steps back.
Seth was surprised. He had never expected Kendrick to raise a gun on such an occasion. This was evidently a provocation and declaration of war. Kendrick didn't take anyone seriously. Was he going to rebel? Did he still want to have the Ramsey Group?
Many thoughts came across his mind in an instant, but Seth was experienced, so he raised his eyes slightly and said with feigned composure, "Kendrick, put down your gun."
Kendrick pointed the pistol at Melvin and ordered him expressionlessly, "Get back to your seat."
Melvin recovered from the shock and glanced at his father. Suddenly, he got bold and said, "I dare you to shoot me. Come on. Shoot me."
He pointed his finger at Kendrick defiantly and said provocatively, "Shoot me and my father today, and you will have the Ramsey group. I dare you to do that."
The tension in the air was intense.
The bodyguards in the mansion filed in.
They formed a crowd in the living room.
Reuben had edged to the back and planned to hide under the table if there was a fight.
Seth slapped the table and said, "Put down your gun. Do you hear me?"
Natalie suddenly uttered, "Grandfather!" She dashed up to Kendrick and stood between them to alleviate the menacing presence of Seth. She said calmly, "Please ask Melvin to go back to his seat."
Why did Seth force Kendrick to put down the gun?
It was Melvin who started it.
Since Kendrick got injured last time, his contradiction with Melvin had been intensifying. They didn't have to pretend they cared about each other in front of everyone. The whole Ramsey Group knew about the discord between the two of them and started to take sides.
Natalie believed that Kendrick would shoot Melvin.
She couldn't hide behind Kendrick and let things go out of control.
It was not something she wished for.
Natalie said slowly to Seth, "Melvin started it first. He framed Kendrick and seriously injured him. Kendrick has to put on guard against him."
She paused and continued in a choked voice, "Kendrick's movement is impaired, so he has to protect himself with the pistol. You know well that he is not reckless. Please ask Melvin to step back, and I'll ask Kendrick to put down the pistol."
Natalie stretched out her hand, beckoning Kendrick to give her the pistol.
Seth stared at her and pressed his lips tightly. He admired her for keeping her composure and explaining it for her husband. She had saved everyone from embarrassment.
Seth agreed. "Melvin, go back to your seat."
Melvin pursed his lips arrogantly.
He didn't believe that Kendrick dared to shoot him.
He was Kendrick's uncle.
Kendrick couldn't shoot his elders.
He thought Kendrick was bluffing.
Melvin wouldn't step back.
He would see who would win.
"If you don't want to die, go back to your seat," Natalie suddenly said. The pistol was in her hand, and she pointed it at Melvin, looking at him with fierce eyes. "I'll count to three."
When she took the pistol, Kendrick slipped the safety catch back, lest she would get hurt.
To his surprise, Natalie took the pistol and pointed it at Melvin.
Damn it.
Reuben screamed inwardly for help and curled up under the table with fright.
Kendrick was stunned.
"One..." Natalie thumbed off the safety catch of the pistol and put her fingers on the trigger, aiming at Melvin.
He was a big living target at short range.
Shooting him was much easier than shooting the moving target at the shooting range.
She could even let the bullet whistle past his ear and shoot the vase behind him.
"What a crazy woman! If you dare to shoot me today, I'll..."
"Two..."
