The doctor checked Harold over, made sure there was nothing serious, and got ready to leave. Ernest stepped forward to escort him out, but Harold grabbed his wrist tightly.

“Mr. Harold, do you want to say something?” the doctor asked nervously.

“Make

a new… will….

Harold’s voice was hoarse.

He wanted to make a new will.

The old will had to be voided.

Ernest looked at Harold, worried. “Mr. Harold, with your health like this, making a new will would take a toll…

But seeing Harold’s determination, Ernest could only sigh and call the legal team in.

Mr. Harold is being biased again. Who knows what kind of will he’ll make this time…

Outside Harborton Hospital, as Denton supported Juliet back to the inpatient wing, they saw police leading Michael away.

Juliet stared at Michael in shock and rushed over in a panic. “What are you doing? Why are you arresting my husband?”

Denton just watched from a distance, a cold smile on his face. That was the price of greed.

“Denton, get me a lawyer, the best one you can find!” Michael yelled from the police help.

“What’s going on?” Juliet tried to break through the police line, but she was blocked and fell to the ground. She then started yelling and crying, slapping the floor.

She was acting just like she did at home, thinking that making a scene would get her what she wanted.

Denton stood in place, feeling the sun’s heat beating down.

“Mom, the reason the police took him away is because they caught him in the act. You two sent me away on purpose, right? So you can kill Grandpa before he can make a will?” he sighed. “Mom, did you really think a man like Grandpa would die without leaving a will behind?”

Juliet stared at Denton. “Denton, find a lawyer and get your dad out. Hurry!”

“Do you think I make the laws?” Denton looked at Juliet with icy indifference. “That’s enough. If Dad has to go to prison, I’ll send you back to the countryside you came from. You’ll get a fixed monthly allowance of 2,000 dollars, but nothing else.”

Juliet stared at Denton, stunned. “What did you say?”

“I’ll have my lawyer contact you. 2,000 dollars a month is more than enough for you in the countryside,” Denton said again.

“I raised an ungrateful son. You only give me 2,000 dollars a month? What do you think I can do with that kind of money? Are you trying to starve me? Am I a beggar to you?” Juliet shrieked.

“You think 2,000 dollars a month is nothing? Over the years, have you ever given me more than 300 dollars a month? I kept our family alloat by carrying seafood at the docks after school! Back then, the three of us lived off the 1,800 dollars I earned from carrying seafood each month! Back then, the three of us lived fine on 1,800 dollars a month. Now you alone get 2,000 dollars a month for yourself, and you’re still not satisfied?”

Juliet stared at her son, shaking uncontrollably. In that moment, Denton felt like a stranger to

Michael was convicted of attempted murder and sentenced. He kept shouting for a lawyer.

But Denton didn’t help him this time.

If you break the law, you have to face the consequences. Denton thought to himself.

When Harold regained consciousness, he had Ernest call the lawyer, still trying to pull strings for Michael.

Even now, he wanted to protect Michael. He thought since he didn’t have long to live, he should at least get his son out before he died.

“Mr. Harold, please think twice… Mr. Michael deserves prison. It’s the best place for him. If you bail him out now… I can’t guarantee what will happen to him after you’re gone, Ernest pleaded.

If Michael stayed in prison now, at least Curtis couldn’t get his hands on him for now.

But if he were released, with Denton still not fully independent, there’d be no one to protect him. Curtis could easily kill Michael, just like squashing a bug.

Harold’s face was grim, his voice shaking. “Curtis … he won’t even spare his own father!”

Ernest watched Harold’s heart monitor spike and sighed helplessly.

“It’s not that Mr. Curtis won’t spare Mr. Michael. Mr. Michael brought this on himself.”

He sat silently, sighing. “Mr. Harold, please think twice.”

Just then, the lawyers came in. Ernest sighed again and left the room.

Harold was changing his will again, still trying to bail Michael out. He was really making one mistake after another.

“Mr. Harold, are you sure you want to change your will now?” the lawyer asked.

Harold nodded.

He had planned to give all the Lincoln Group shares to Denton and his personal wealth to Curtis.

After all. Curtis was the grandson he raised himself. He felt sorry that Curtis wouldn’t get anything after he

died.

But Michael’s attempt to kill him left Harold terrified–not by Michael’s stupidity, but by Curtis’s ruthlessness.

He suddenly realized just how badly he’d misjudged everything. Once he was gone, Curtis could crush Michael as easily as stepping on an ant.
