Chapter 479 Swatting Mosquitoes

As Veronica reveled in her excitement, the second elder of the McCarthy family observed the Crawford family with

a cold gaze.

He found their extravagant decorations to be excessive and a clear display of prodigality. In his opinion, such trends

would inevitably lead to the emergence of indulgent and wasteful successors.

The size of the main house was also a concern for him. A grand residence like this was believed to deplete people’s

spiritual energy excessively. According to residential omens, it was considered a house with a murderous aura. If

they could not restrain the excessive grandeur, it would only lead to their downfall in the future.

In his eyes, the Crawford family represented the epitome of a typical wealthy family. Their lifestyle and choices had,

in his view, tarnished the purity of the McCarthy family’s bloodline.

If Lisa had married that elderly man of pure–blood lineage in the past, how could the two children of the McCarthy

family have contracted such impure blood? It’s maddening.

The second elder of the McCarthy family cast a glance at Veronica.

Veronica quietly approached Jack and whispered, “Mr. Jack, the second elder wants to speak with you.”

Jack glanced at Anthony, then proceeded to lead both of them outside.

The second elder of the McCarthy family was rather brusque: “I have no interest in wasting time with the common

folk, so I’ll get straight to the point!”

“The Crawford family is destined to face a catastrophe today. Concerning the murder… I called you murderers

because that’s what you are, and I can save you! If you wish to avoid trouble, simply follow my instructions,”

Jack: “Is that some kind of magic wand?”

Jack maintained a calm gaze as he examined the man before him and asked, “What are you trying to say?”

The second elder of the McCarthy family smirked with disdain, saying, “Lisa, the one who brought sin upon our

McCarthy family, have you brought her back? Have you discovered that she possesses traits that differentiate her

from ordinary people?”

Jack’s eyes narrowed slightly in response.

The second elder of the McCarthy family proclaimed, “Being a member of the McCarthy family, I implanted

parasites within her body from the moment of her birth! Lisa’s parasite resides within her heart, and I possess the

power to control the parasite and end her life whenever I please!”

“This means that whether or not the Crawford family should be accused of murder is entirely within my

control!”

Jack was speechless.

In a cold tone, he questioned, “What do you

want?”

The second elder of the McCarthy family recognized his familiarity and clasped his hands behind his back, stating,

“Drake and Josh are part of the McCarthy family. We simply wish to reclaim our bloodline! We have no intentions of

interfering with the rest,”

One cannot entirely blame him for his arrogance, as there were indeed remarkable and peculiar individuals in this

world. Those who have truly encountered them, be they businessmen or influential figures, tend to feel fear and

exhibit caution!

It was not surprising that the Crawford family was wary of them.

Jack added, “I see, you didn’t come accompanied by a police officer,”

The second elder of the McCarthy family sneered, saying, “It no longer matters. What I seek now is a response

from the Crawford family. Let me warn you that there are certain things you cannot comprehend. This world is

filled with numerous exceptional and extraordinary individuals,”

This statement triggered a realization within Jack.

He was aware that the sudden arrival of the new lady was peculiar, but he was unaware that Lilly had removed the

parasite earlier that morning.

So he hesitated.

At that moment, Lilly’s gentle and clear voice resonated, “Jack, don’t let them bother you! Aunt Lisa will be alright.”

She rolled her eyes and added, “They’re just boasting and trying to deceive others. I don’t believe they possess

such abilities!”

Upon hearing this, Jack’s heart instantly eased.

Now, within the Crawford family, there was no doubt that Lilly’s words are the most valuable and trustworthy.

To Jack, they hold the utmost credibility. Hugh had always emphasized the importance of trusting her words without

hesitation.

“I had just mentioned that these individuals are not to be taken seriously! This woman has repeatedly posed as

Hugh’s wife, and today she dared to pursue him?”

Veronica’s expression turned sour, “How dare you!”

Jack retorted, “I dare!”

What did he not dare to do?

Regardless of where he assumed responsibility, he was righteous in every word he spoke!

Veronica had not expected him to be so audacious, ready to act upon his words with the pitchfork!

She struggled vehemently, causing her hat and mask to fall off.

“Release me!” Veronica impatiently exclaimed, “Do you know who I am?”

As she removed her mask, it became apparent that she had a hairless head and was toothless. Jack was taken

aback. Did she consider herself a goddess?

Speechless, Jack uttered, “I know, you are Mr. Anthony’s wife.”

Veronica grew elated, saying, “Yes! How dare you…”

“Hiva

How dare you speak nonsense? What do you mean you’re Mr. Anthony’s wife? I’ll chase you out!

The second elder of the McCarthy family shouted in anger, “Stop! Enough!”

He turned his gaze towards Jack, seething with rage. “Mr. Jack! Don’t assume that I won’t take any action against

you just because you have control over the two children of our McCarthy family! You must understand that our

McCarthy family has never harbored any ill intentions towards you, our in–laws! Therefore, I won’t bother

maintaining any pretenses. It would be in your best interest to be more obedient

to me!”

Jack remained calm.

Lilly hid behind Jack, her little hand waving as she shouted furiously, “Fork him!”

Jack swiftly and forcefully flipped Veronica over, then directed his attention towards the second elder of the

McCarthy family.

The demeanor of the second elder turned icy, his fingers subtly moving.

But he did not lose his temper. Did Jack believe he was just an ordinary person?

A slender, nearly translucent insect swiftly flew towards Jack.

The second elder of the McCarthy family vowed that this wretched servant would meet his demise on the spot, or

else the Crawford family would never take his words seriously!

However, there was a sudden snap.

Lilly raised both her hands and swiftly swatted the parasite, crushing it like a mosquito.

She hurriedly wiped her hands against her backside and innocently said to Jack, “There are mosquitoes,”

Jack responded, “Alright, we’ll arrange for pest control later,”

The second elder of the McCarthy family was stunned.

Was it a coincidence?

He had heard about how this child was highly favored by the Crawford family. It seemed that someone from the

McCarthy family must have taught her some skills, which coincidentally led to the successful elimination of the

parasite….

The second elder of the McCarthy family believed that this must be the case. After all, the young patriarch of their

McCarthy family was capable of even suppressing malevolent spirits.

The commotion outside caught the attention of those inside.

“What’s going on?” Anthony emerged and surveyed the scene with a cold gaze.

Jack swiftly approached and spoke a few words in a hushed tone.

Anthony shifted his gaze towards the second elder of the McCarthy family, who sneered back at him.

The police officer furrowed his brow and exclaimed, “What in the world is happening!!

During their journey, these individuals claimed to be guests of the Crawford family, emphasizing the urgency of

discussing a matter regarding the children.

Based on their professional instincts, the police officers had a sense that these people were suspicious. Hence, they

allowed them to proceed to maintain the appearance of an ongoing investigation. Otherwise, it would be unlikely

for unrelated individuals to approach the scene during a case.

Veronica pointed towards Josh, who stood behind Anthony, and tearfully exclaimed, “Officer….they, they committed

murder! They killed my sister! Boohoo…”

Steward was puzzled, unable to comprehend the situation.

The second elder of the McCarthy family was silent.

What an idiot…

What good would it do for them to reveal such information in front of the police?

Wouldn’t the police officers ask how Veronica knew her sister was killed?

Why did she not mention it earlier during their journey?

Steward grew furious, realizing that the plan was not going as intended. He now wished to confront Veronica and

teach her a lesson.

Veronica had been growing increasingly foolish over the past few years, and the reason behind it was unknown to

the second elder of the McCarthy family.

Finding himself in a difficult position, the second elder seized the opportunity and stated, “We are here today to find

members of our McCarthy family. Do you dare to bring Lisa out? Don’t even think about denying it, as someone

witnessed you carrying her lifeless body back!”

As he spoke, he discreetly used his fingers to perform a pinching motion, attempting to sense Lisa’s

presence.

With that pinch, he was certain that Lisa was no longer alive.

The parasite would also be dead.

The second elder intended to bring calamity upon the Crawford family first, believing that only through their

suffering would they truly understand the gravity of the situation and recognize who held the power to speak.

Observing the second elder’s action, Veronica swiftly retorted, “Why, are you afraid? Did you hide my sister’s

body?”

Deep down, she held onto the hope that by involving herself in the matter, she could find a way to make Mr.

Anthony plead with her…

She could provide testimony and expose the two elders of the McCarthy family as the ones responsible for her

sister’s death, as she possessed evidence to support her claims.

Veronica’s determination grew stronger with the thought that if Anthony would just acknowledge her and accept

her, she would be willing to betray the McCarthy family for him.

She had endured the burden of the McCarthy family’s downfall and the constraints it brought upon her

for far too long, and she had reached her breaking point.
