Semua Bab Never to look back: Bab 351 - Bab 360

“Is grandma fully cured?” Eric asked hesitantly.“Neil’s master did an examination yesterday.” Everett pursed his lips, knitting his brows “Almost… is what he said.”“What does almost mean?” Lorenzo puckered his lips; the words he hated the most was ‘maybe’ ‘if’ and ‘almost’.“The poisoning and all visible signs of the root of the disease have been cured.” Everett explained “The bastard used two types of poison. One was a traditional poison which was responsible for elder sister’s comatose state; this one would eventually corrode her internal organs leading to a slow, painful death. When we came three months ago, Neil and his master had stabilized the spread of the poison and also performed a procedure to protect her internal organs. The treatment these three months was to expel every single drop of poison from elder sis’s body.”“Bastard” Mark, Thomas and Peter cursed; their faces flushed red with anger while Eric, Darcy and Lorenzo smashed their fists into the ground, their faces con

Back at the Royale Lux, Master and Lai-Li busied themselves with healing Bridgette while the others sat in the lounge planning their next move. They would have loved to head straight from the annual meeting to their ancestral home to drive out all the rats that unjustly occupied their home all these years, but their grandmother’s life was more important.“Little brother, how are you so sure that the Larvae have been awoken?” Darcy wasn’t convinced. He had been observing grandpa the whole time; he didn’t even blink from the time grandpa approached grandma.“Why don’t I let the man of the hour speak?” Chris chuckled as he looked at his treasures. All the youngsters had been brought back from the Burke house shortly after Chris and the rest returned.“How can I be a man? I am a princess.” Emm pouted unhappily.“Daddy said it wrong...can you forgive daddy?” Chris ignored everyone as they burst out laughing and started to coax his little treasure; she reluctantly forgave him as she couldn’t

“He has a company?” Michael started rolling in his eyes “Where did he get the money for starting the company? Isn’t it all from the family? Go to his company and tell them to advance the remaining money.” He ordered without a conscience “Tell them that I have ordered him to do it.”Silas’s lips curled in ridicule as he saw the uncanny resemblance between what his father was ordering him to do and what his grandfather did a few days ago.“Che!” Silas sneered impolitely “He started his company with his own money. Didn’t you hear him a few days ago? He had never used a single penny that came from your coffers. Also, his men told me that they don’t have access to finances. Carson handles finances by himself. So, you can say goodbye to your wishful thinking about getting even a single dime from him.”Silas stood up to leave, he paused, his lips lifting in an evil arc “The auditors have submitted the results of their evaluation, and the court has issued a verdict, sentencing us to pay back 4

Chris looked at Rufus with a ridiculing smile “Senior Mr Walter, have you forgotten an age-old wise man’s words?”“What Senior Mr Walter? I am your grandfather… nothing can change that.” Rufus slammed the table trying to show off his might. However, it was still a weak attempt and looked rather comical to everyone present.“You have long stopped being my grandfather. I make the decisions in my life, whether it is family or friends. The only person I have given the right to influence my decisions is my wife.” Chris pulled his lips lopsidedly “The day you decided to plot against me for an outsider, you ceased to exist for me. The only reason I let you be, was because of my father. I respected his feelings.”“But that grace had also long been extinguished.” Chris narrowed his eyes “The day I found my maternal uncle and learned about the past, whatever grace was granted for the sole reason of you being my father’s father, ceased to exist.”“Don’t think even for a minute that I didn’t pay y

Bridgette continued with her story, garnering strength from the pride and admiration she saw in the eyes of her son and grandchildren “The excruciating pain, you put me through, every time I did something against my will is the only memory I have of the loved up, cozy time you speak of, because every display of affection you executed to perfection was against my will and the pain caused to bend one’s will against his own is similar to carving out a piece of your own flesh.”Bridgette straightened her spine, not wanting to show her weakness in front of anyone, especially not in front of the man whom she wanted to send into the depth of hell “Watching my father bend against his best judgement, over and over again for mine and my son’s sake put me through hell time and time again, with the last straw being when you forced him to take poison in my stead.”“The latest imprint in my memory of the sweet period you spoke off, also has the time you forced me to accept this woman to be in charge
