Her plea for mercy fell on deaf ears, and Nathan told her, "Don't beg for my mercy. Your fate is in the Cross Family's hands now, not mine. I'm no longer a part of them, so leave."
Helen looked up in disbelief. "You're not killing me?"
"No." He replied calmly.
Ecstasy flooded Madam Helen, and the first thing she wanted to do was go back, transfer all the Cross Family's assets to herself, then she would flee overseas to lead a good life. With that idea in mind, she thanked Nathan and escaped the place, for she was worried Nathan might change his mind.
As she ran down the mountain, Nathan mumbled, "I won't kill you, but I'm not sure if he'll do the same thing."
Madam Helen quickly ran back to the parking lot, and her bodyguards welcomed her back. "What happened, madam?"
She was still fearing for her life. "Quick, get inside the car and leave this place at once!" Her voice trembled. However, the bodyguards looked behind Madam Helen, petrified.
"What are you doing? Who's behind me?" She turned around, and when she saw who was there, Madam Helen stiffened up in shock.
Francis was pushing a wheelchair, and the one sitting on it was none other than Zayn Cross, the Cross Family's patriarch. And currently, he was accompanied by the Cross Family's old servants, including Patrick and Simon.
Madam Helen looked incredulous, and she panicked. Worried, she looked at Francis, wanting to get an answer to her burning question.
I thought I told Francis to get a quack to perform the surgery so this old git would die! So why is he here?
