Chapter 897
’Wasn't he afraid that I would kill her in a fit of rage? She's Catelyn's grandma and also his grandma-in-law!' Eugene panicked.
Catelyn was also shocked, staring at Cedrick in astonishment, and her heart almost stopped.
'He was deliberately angering Eugene. But Eugene's knife was right on Grandma's neck. What if Eugene lost control...?'
Cedrick's action was way more thrilling than her plan...
"Say something." Cedrick looked at Eugene with cold eyes and said disdainfully, "You asked me to help you subvert the Atherton family by offering me a way to stay with Catelyn. Now you've almost done it. As long as you kill Old Lady Atherton, the Atherton family will no longer stop me from being with Catelyn, and I will help you to sit on the throne of the Atherton family! So what are you hesitating for? Hurry up and kill Old Madam Atherton!”
”Bullsh*t!" Eugene almost went mad under Cedrick's pressure as the dagger in his hand kept shaking.
Cold sweats fell from his forehead, and he roared at Cedrick, "Do I still have the right to live if I kill someone? No! My life will be miserable, so what's the point of subverting the Atherton family now? That's just giving the wealth to you for nothing!"
'How could it be given to me? Don't you have a daughter?"
"Don't any of you ever dare to lay a finger on my daughter!" Eugene roared furiously.
Eugene had a daughter, Tracy Atherton, who was studying abroad. She was a kind, well-behaving grandchild of Sylvie, and it was because of her that Sylvie had been giving Eugene chances, over and over again, without evicting him from the Atherton family.
However, Sylvie underestimated Eugene's greed for money.
At that moment, Eugene completely lost his rationality. He yelled with his
eyes scarlet, "I won’t talk to you! Tell Catelyn to come out! I'll count to three. If she doesn't commit suicide, I will-"
'Will what? Tracy must be upset to have a father like you. But don't worry. When you die, I will send someone to take good care of her. I will take care of her as you take care of my wife. I heard that there is still a shortage of young girls in Southeast Asea. Tracy should be just twenty-five this year, right?"
"Don't you dare! Ahh!" Eugene suddenly seemed to be stimulated, and his eyes were red. He moved the dagger in his hand away from Sylvie's neck and pointed at Cedrick, shivering.
"If you dare to touch my daughter, I will die with you! Catelyn! Catelyn, go and kill Cedrick now, and I will release your grandmother right away... I
have been conscientious in helping the Atherton family's business for so many years. Why can't I get anything?! I have to fight for what I deserve! Cedrick, you would never know!”
At the moment when Eugene lost control, and the dagger was far from Sylvie's neck, Eason and the other bodyguards caught the opportunity and immediately shot at Eugene and his subordinates.
After several shots were fired, Eugene's bodyguard fell on the spot.
Eugene was hit in the abdomen, and the huge impact made his body sway.
However, he was not resigned to the fact that he was defeated and was unwilling to let Catelyn and Cedrick be together so easily.
He hated Catelyn. He hated her to the point that he wanted Catelyn to live with regret when he died.
As long as Sylvie died because of Cedrick, Catelyn would never forgive him. With this crazy thought in mind, Eugene dragged Sylvie's arm, lay back, and fell into the sea...
