Sebastian was stunned for a moment, and then he said calmly, "Let's just wait and see, then." "Sebastian, are you really not afraid? The Jennings family's properties are so vast, and you actually dared to swallow it whole. Aren't you afraid you'll choke and die?" Natalie mocked him. "Even if my siblings and I don't do anything, don't you think that you won't be able to keep the empire Dean gave you either?" Sebastian asked, "What's that got to do with you?" After a pause, he added, "Do you think that, even if I weren't to do anything, you'd also get your retribution in the future?" Natalie's expression instantly darkened.
"People's deeds catch up with them sooner or later." Sebastian said, reminding her that her hands were stained with blood. "Hoho! Are you trying to scare me?" Natalie was unfazed. "Didn't your dear father also do all sorts of heinous acts? He lived till he was seven-three years old. How many good people in this world have failed to live until such an age? This world has never been fair!" Sebastian had no argument.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtIndeed, Dean was far worse than Natalie! However, Dean was able to live a long and happy life before he died. That was extremely unfair to those people who had died because of him! Suddenly, Mike walked over with a glass of alcohol in his hand.
"What are you guys talking about? You've got yourselves all worked up!" Mike put an arm around Sebastian's shoulder and looked at Natalie with a smile.
Natalie instantly hid her arrogant expression. "We're talking as a family. There's no place for an outsider like you to interject." Mike had originally only wanted to listen to gossip, but Natalie's rude and unreasonable attitude caught him off guard.
"A family? Sebastian is not considered a family to the few of you Jennings, right? Didn't you guys join hands to hire a lawyer and are intending to fight him for the inheritance?" Mike mocked her, patting Sebastian's shoulder. "Make room for me," he said. Sebastian immediately got up and gave his seat to Mike. Following that, Sebastian asked the server to bring another chair. "Aren't you the babyface by Avery's side? Did Avery ask you to cand help Sebastian?" Christine, the second daughter of Dean, glared at Mike. Her tone was unfriendly.
"That's right! Avery askedto cover. Are you not happy? If you're unhappy, just suck it up!" Mike glanced at everyone with a grin. "Letguess how you're intending to fight for the inheritance! Do you plan to file a complaint to the court in tears or throw a temper tantrum? After all, Dean was the one who personally made the will. Other than being unreasonable, it seems like all your avenues have been blocked." Christine grew so annoyed that the veins on her forehead popped. She wanted to quarrel with Mike, but Natalie held her back.
"Ignore him. We can just go according to our plan." Natalie smiled at Mike disdainfully.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"Natalie, does it feel good to kill people? You first wanted to kill Elliot and Avery by getting someone else to do it, but you didn't succeed. Now, you got someone else to do the dirty work for you and killed your father... If Dean knew his murderer has cto attend his funeral, I reckon that, even if he could cback to life, he'd die again from the sheer anger of seeing your face! Hahaha!" "Mike! Do you have any evidence? If you don't have any evidence, you're simply slandering me!" Natalie clenched her fists.
"I don't have any evidence, so suethen! I'll see if you dare to sueor not." Mike looked at Natalie provocatively. "You can't be thinking that Avery and Elliot have forgotten about all the nasty things you did in the past, right? Behave yourself, and keep a low profile. Do you understand?" Natalie was unable to continue staying at the table.
If she continued staying there, she would be made a laughingstock! She suppressed her anger, got up, took her bag, and left.
As soon as Sebastian saw Natalie leave, he immediately raised a glass to Mike. "Thank you for coming to help me!" "Don't mention it. Natalie is just a paper tiger! She looks like she's quite impressive, but she only pretends to be in front of you guys! If she saw Avery and Elliot, I guarantee that she'd be just like a coward! In the past, when Elliot asked her to cheat Dean out of his money, she didn't even think to disobey." Mike's words were meant for the ears of the other members of the Jennings family.
"Elliot is much more powerful than my father. It's only normal for Natalie to be afraid of him." Christine leapt to Natalie's defence. "Also, the conflict within our family has nothing to do with the problems between Natalie and my father. Instead, it surrounds the unfair eldivision of my father's inheritet Other than Sebastian, all of us grew up by his side. Bobby and I joined my father's company right after we graduated. We've been working diligently, and we've always followed our father's orders. However, he didn't even leave a single penny of the inheritance to us. If you were in our shoes, wouldn't you be angry, too?" "What's there to be angry about? You're alive because of Dean. Not only are you not grateful, but you even act like he owes you money! If you want money, go make syourself! Which law states that a father has to give his property to his children?" Mike's words made the entire table full of people fall silent, Sebastian included.
"Didn't Avery inherit her father's properties as well? I saw it on the news. Her father had left the entire inheritance to her." Christine said suddenly.
