Chapter 454<\/p>\n
In contrast to the joyful ambiance at the Chivers Residence, the Jarrett residence exuded a somber mood.<\/p>\n
Since she returned yesterday, Mary hadn\u2019t had any appetite.<\/p>\n
She reclined on the chaise lounge, clutching a bottle of essential oil, and periodically applied it to her temples using her fingers.<\/p>\n
Lucas and Jean sat a bit farther away, exchanging glances.<\/p>\n
\u201cGrandpa, why don\u2019t you talk to her,\u201d Jean nudged Lucas with her elbow and softly suggested.<\/p>\n
Lucas looked stubborn and said, \u201cWell, I\u2019m not going. If you want to, you go.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis is good news. I\u2019ve always said the Quinton family is a pack of parasites. Alice\u2019s always acting like a proud peacock. Well, now she knows I\u2019m right.<\/p>\n
\u201cMatthew is, in fact, Ghost Hand; it\u2019s no surprise that the Quinton family is so arrogant. The innocent people died in vain.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis time, the Quinton family is undoubtedly beyond redemption. They must face the full extent of their punishment, or there will be unrest.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cOh!\u201d Mary sighed and exclaimed occasionally.<\/p>\n
Lucas and Jean looked at her and shook their heads repeatedly.<\/p>\n
At this time, a security guard hurried in from outside and called out, \u201cMr. and Mrs. Jarrett.\u201d<\/p>\n
Lucas looked over and asked, \u201cWhat\u2019s going on?\u201d<\/p>\n
The security guard said, \u201cMrs. Quinton and Ms. Quinton have arrived, requesting to see Mrs. Jarrett.\u201d<\/p>\n
Lucas laughed at this, seemingly raising his volume on purpose, Oh, speak of the devil and the Quinton family appears!\u201d<\/p>\n
Lucas\u2019s volume grew louder as he deliberately shouted at Mary.<\/p>\n
Jean couldn\u2019t help but chuckle.<\/p>\n
Of course, Mary heard it. She stood up, looking quite conflicted as she gazed at Lucas. She asked, \u201cShould I meet them?\u201d<\/p>\n
Lucas snorted and said, \u201cCherise just called and praised you for being brave these past few days and not holding her back. What has happened to your brain since you returned?<\/p>\n
\u201cThink for yourself!\u201d<\/p>\n
Mary was somewhat conflicted.<\/p>\n
However, after thinking about what she saw and went through at Ghost Hand these past two days, Mary told the security guard firmly, \u201cI don\u2019t want to see them.<\/p>\n
\u201cTell them that from now on, whether the Quinton family survives or falls has nothing to do with me.<\/p>\n
\u201cThey should take the consequences of their own deeds.\u201d<\/p>\n
*****<\/p>\n
The Quinton family lost its last hope.<\/p>\n

Arthur secretly visited the Clusia Security Department, where Ghost Hand was detained.<\/p>\n
At the moment, Ghost Hand was sitting on a wooden bed. The bullet had been removed, and his knee was wrapped in thick<\/p>\n
gauze.<\/p>\n
Seeing Arthur, Ghost Hand said, \u201cI didn\u2019t expect to see you here. It\u2019s been ten years since we last met, hasn\u2019t it?\u201d<\/p>\n
Arthur nodded silently.<\/p>\n
Even now, Ghost Hand wasn\u2019t scared at all. He continued, \u201cLet me go. You can do it. After all, we are family.\u201d<\/p>\n
Arthur looked at Ghost Hand with disdain and said, \u201cI came today just to meet you for the last time for the sake of those times when you held me as a child.<\/p>\n
\u201cYou\u2019ve hurt so many people and sold off countless secrets.<\/p>\n
\u201cIf you don\u2019t get punished, it will be hard to make things right for everyone harmed by the Quinton family.\u201d<\/p>\n
When he heard this, Ghost Hand glared at Arthur and said fiercely, \u201cYou knew what I\u2019d done all along, didn\u2019t you?<\/p>\n
\u201cYou were just waiting for the right opportunity to take me down all at once.<\/p>\n
\u201cMoreover, you used me to get rid of some corrupt officials.\u201d<\/p>\n
Arthur didn\u2019t say anything, but his silence made his attitude clear.<\/p>\n
Ghost Hand laughed wildly and commented, \u201cOh, well done. There\u2019s a good reason you\u2019ve made it to where you are.<\/p>\n
\u201cI was really setting myself up here. Mary indeed has a great son<\/p>\n
Ghost Hand kept talking, but Arthur ignored him and turned to leave.<\/p>\n
Once Arthur settled into his car, he turned to Mateo, who had accompanied him, and said, \u201cDo it. Have the media department release the news as a warning to others.<\/p>\n
\u201cTake me to Mr. Finch\u2019s place.\u201d<\/p>\n
Mateo nodded.<\/p>\n
A few minutes later, agonizing screams and the shrill noise of gunfire were heard from outside.<\/p>\n
Once it became quiet again, the vehicle carrying Arthur drove away.<\/p>\n
*****<\/p>\n
Half an hour later, the media in Clusia reported on the Ghost Hand incident.<\/p>\n
The report was concise and to the point, but it caused quite a sensation immediately.<\/p>\n
Because of the sensitive nature of the topic, netizens were prohibited from commenting. However, the news spread rapidly in private circles, becoming a popular topic at social gatherings.<\/p>\n
The exact details of the event were unknown. What was known was that the Quinton family, who had connections to Arthur, had experienced a downfall.<\/p>\n
The government not only confiscated the Quinton family\u2019s assets, but also those associated with the family vanished, including Alice.<\/p>\n
Even collateral relatives of the Quinton family, such as Jean, faced dire consequences and could no longer anticipate wealth<\/p>\n

Someone said, \u201cWho would have thought things like this could happen in peaceful times? It\u2019s outrageous. Thank goodness I\u2019m ordinary enough not to get caught up.\u201d<\/p>\n
Someone else chimed in, \u201cAbsolutely, I saw the underground news about the Quinton family\u2019s assets being seized.<\/p>\n
\u201cHonestly, even if I had been making money since the dawn of time, I couldn\u2019t have earned even one percent of what they possessed.\u201d<\/p>\n
Another one commented, \u201cAlright, let\u2019s stop talking about it. I\u2019m truly thankful to my parents for giving me a simple and stable life.\u201d<\/p>\n
By noon, Cherise and Morris had just finished washing up and eating brunch.<\/p>\n
They caught up on the news.<\/p>\n
\u201cYou\u2019ve been at Ghost Hand for a few days. What\u2019s your take on this result?\u201d Morris asked Cherise as he switched off the TV.<\/p>\n
Cherise shrugged and said, \u201cThat\u2019s just how it is. He wasn\u2019t my target, but he definitely had it coming.<\/p>\n
\u201cJust feels like he got away too easily.\u201d<\/p>\n
Morris understood her meaning and showed a photo on his phone to Cherise. He said, \u201cCheck this out.\u201d<\/p>\n
