The old butler\u2019s tightly twisted eyebrows relaxed a bit\u2026It was good that this person felt scared.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSam, did anyone ever tell you that,\u201d Kern\u2019s derisive voice came from the other end of the phone: \u201cYou\u2019re really shameless?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The old butler clenched his teeth as he heard the words.<\/p>\n<p>But he insisted, \u201cThe death of that b*itch benefits both of us. No matter what happened in the past, it\u2019s done since she\u2019s dead.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>What he meant was very obvious\u2026nobody would speak for a dead person.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMr. Lo, it\u2019s good for you to kill that b*itch too. \u201d The old man\u2019s voice suddenly turned polite to call the person in the phone to be \u201cMr. Lo\u201d while it was still threatening in the last second.<\/p>\n<p>A sneer spread from the phone, \u201cYou did learn to be cruel after working for the Shaw family. Sam, I know what you\u2019re thinking. Would you feel at ease after killing her?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>On the other end of the phone, Kern took a sip of the long cigar that was held between his fingers. The ash of the cigar had lengthened, with a flick of his finger, the whole section of the ash fell onto an expensive snow-white plush blanket that was customized in a foreign country. He did not feel distressed at all.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSam, let me tell you something. If you want anyone to die, do it yourself.\u201d Coldness emerged from Kern\u2019s eyes. His thin lips, which were similar to Caden\u2019s, spoke peremptorily: \u201cDon\u2019t you ever threaten me with Caden Shaw. You are much more insidious than me! Don\u2019t you remember how Wallis died?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Sam\u2019s hand trembled harshly all of a sudden. His phone almost fell to the ground.<\/p>\n<p>He then grabbed the phone tightly, his eyes glittered, \u201cOf course I know! That b*itch killed my daughter, my only daughter! My daughter had suffered so much humiliation and tortures. She was dead! But that b*itch only stayed in the prison for three years!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOnly stayed in the prison for three years?\u201d Kern repeated it in a weird tone.<\/p>\n<p>The veins emerged from Sam\u2019s forehead, \u201cMy daughter was dead. That b*itch came out of prison after threes! The God is unfair! She deserves more punishment!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cShe deserves more punishment?\u201d Kern\u2019s voice grew more strangely and asked lightly.<\/p>\n<p>If not he had witnessed the scenes through the camera with his own eyes; if not he had known how badly that woman was tortured in that place, and how she spent three years there as an extremely frightened person; if not, out of pure curiosity, he had asked his driver to bring her over on the day when that woman was released, and he saw that woman, who was too wretched to look like a human; if not, by coincidence, he saw the woman had abandoned her pride for lowly survival in the Royal Club!<\/p>\n<p>Perhaps, he would truly believe what the old butler had told him, and perhaps he would really feel sympathetic, thus, fulfilling the old man\u2019s wish to kill that woman.<\/p>\n<p>Three years ago, was it only Wallis who framed this woman?<\/p>\n<p>Wrong!<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMr. Venus, you do know that Grace was innocent.\u201d Kern laughed mildly. Sam, on the other hand, went silent immediately after hearing Kern\u2019s words\u2026He had admitted this fact himself indirectly the moment he threatened Kern. He knew it in his heart that Grace was innocent.<\/p>\n<p>Sam bit his teeth and said stubbornly, \u201cI don\u2019t know what you\u2019re talking about! I only know that Wallis went to the YES Club because of that b*itch! And you, Mr. Lo, the things that you\u2019ve done to Mr. Shaw secretly\u2014 cutting off his main customers in order to purchase the very resource that was extremely important to Mr. Shaw. If Mr. Shaw knows about these, I\u2019m afraid that he will go harsh on you and your company. By that time, your situation will be quite dangerous.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The corner of Kern\u2019s mouth was curled into a cold smile. This old man was still threatening him to kill that woman at a time like this\u2026Sorry, he was not cruel enough to bully that poor woman anymore.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSure, go ahead and tell Mr. Shaw.\u201d Kern sneered: \u201cLet me remind you something. How come a butler like you can know about these things, you think Mr. Shaw is dumb? As for whether you only know the things at the surface level, or anything else, Sam, you know it better than me. And you know more about Wallis\u2019 death than me.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhat I can say to you is that, you\u2019re really flexible. If I were you, I wouldn\u2019t call again. Are trying to bully me?\u201d Kern sneered, \u201cYou hate Grace that much, then kill her yourself. Don\u2019t bother me again!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>With that, he hung up rudely without saying anything else.<\/p>\n<p>Sam, the butler, held the phone in his hand, his body shuddering slightly\u2026What exactly did Kern know about? What was the meaning of his last words?<\/p>\n<p>No!<\/p>\n<p>Wallis\u2019s death was that b*itch\u2019s fault!<\/p>\n<p>That b*itch must die because of this!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-1372","chapter","type-chapter","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/kampoengnews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/chapter\/1372","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/kampoengnews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/chapter"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/kampoengnews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/chapter"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/kampoengnews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1372"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
