Chapter 195 Unfair Cain

Cain hadn’t come to Silverton. He had no idea Darius was the culprit, not Evan. Gabriel scrutinized Evan from head to toe before looking away. He took a deep breath.

“The truth might not be the thing you think, Dad. Evan didn’t steal the gemstone. It was…” Gabriel proceeded to tell his father the truth, causing Cain to fall into contemplative silence.

The tension in the air was turning taut. The heiresses held their breaths, their hearts racing. They thought that Evan would be spared now that Gabriel had come to a decision. Alas, Cain came calling.

The same Cain who had assumed that Evan was the one who stole his gemstone for three whole years.

They wondered how he’d react to the news of his mistake. A long while later, Cain finally said, “It wasn’t him? So … I made a mistake?” There wasn’t a trace of anger in his tone. Rather, he sounded light-hearted.

The heiresses heaved a long sigh of relief. It seemed that Cain was a reasonable man. If that were the case, the Overlord was probably not going to take his anger out on Evan just for his repu-

Before they could fully rest easy, they heard Cain roar furiously, “I don’t care whether it’s Darius or Evan! They’re all Norwoods, aren’t they? Which makes them all worms. I want those vermin dead!”

His furious bellow sent shockwaves across everyone’s minds. A powerful pressure fell upon the room. Hazel, Roxanne, and Anya froze, their eyes dimming with each wrathful word. It was as if Cain was sucking the very hope out of their souls.

Cain really lived up to his reputation. His presence could be felt even through a phone call. He was a mountain that towered over everyone.

Something cold glinted in Evan’s eyes as he thought, ‘Cain’s coming after me even when I’ve proven my innocence? Fine, then he’ll be getting his just desserts too.’

Gabriel straightened, asking, “What should we do with the Norwoods, Father? What are your orders?”

The martial servants were more than ready to pounce and tear the Norwoods apart.

Cain laughed coldly. “They will taste hell on earth for lying to me.”

Gabriel understood what Cain was implying, so he stopped the martial servants. Then, he inquired, “So we’re not taking them down?” Everyone who crossed Cain died horribly, but it seemed that the Norwoods were going to be an exception to that rule.

“Death is far too merciful an ending for the likes of them. I’ll make sure they know that lying to me will be their nightmare.”

That answered why Cain wasn’t destroying the Norwoods. Death could be a release to some people, and Cain knew how to make life worse than hell for them.

“They rose to power by selling my gemstone, did they not? Since that’s the case, they’ll be compensating me five times the amount it went for! And blacklist the Norwoods from all industries! No one is to help them, or they shall share their fate!”

Cain continued in a low growl, “They will be homeless and begging for scraps! The Norwoods will be nothing but sewer rats! Anyone who shares any ties with them will pay! Anyone! I will make them wish they were never born!”

The Norwoods nearly soiled themselves. James was shaking violently, sweat drenching every inch of his body. Although they wouldn’t die tonight, Cain’s decision only pushed them into a deep abyss.

However, things didn’t end there as Cain’s next assault on the Norwoods would only be worse. Moments later, Gabriel’s subordinates finished drafting a contract, and they promptly forced James to sign and stamp it.
