Chapter 4831

Old Master Stanford trembled with anger as he pointed at Herod. "You... You're someone of

considerable status yourself, Herod Houllier. Aren't you afraid you'll become a laughing

stock, trying to use a weak lady as blackmail? Let her go now."

He had his daughter at a pretty old age, and he loved her to no end. How could he hold

back his anger when he saw Herod threatening Selina with a dagger?

Old Master Stanford called out to Selina as he spoke, "Don't you worry,

Selina! I'm here!"

Selina was a lot stronger than one would expect. Her frail face was not the slightest bit

nervous. Instead, she was impossibly calm.

She said to Old Master Stanford, "Don’t you worry about me, Father.

Besides, I haven't got much longer left to live with this illness of mine. Let them kill me if

they want. There's no way we're handing over anything of the Stanfords to these

imbeciles."

Sigh-

Old Master Stanford was ridden with anxiety when he heard her.

The other members of the Stanfords squirmed about as well, struggling to hide their fear.

The High Lady was far too headstrong for her own good. She would regret it.

At the same time, Darryl stopped short before marveling at himself. Who would have

thought that Selina could hold her ground so well despite being so frail?

"Oh?"

Herod was in shock at the situation as well. He smiled at Selina in disbelief.

"Who would've thought this frail little lady would turn out to be such a hero? So, you're not

afraid of death, are you?"

Selina did not even look him in the eye, turning to show her pale neck. "Not one bit. Kill

me if you must. I'm telling you, the lot of you won't be smug for long. The authorities are

going to get you." "Ho ho..."

Herod did not flare up in anger. Instead, he raised his eyebrows in interest.

"Alright, then. I won't kill you since you want to die so bad. Besides, I'm not someone who

kills frail women like you. Wouldn't it be a shame to kill off someone so beautiful,

anyway?"

Selina remained silent, not saying a single word, while Herod only grew more excited as he

spoke.

"I heard you're getting married soon. To a complete good-for-nothing, too! Am I right?"

Herod's gaze spun around the room as an idea began to formulate in his head as he

spoke.

Selina was not afraid of dying, but her fiance was a notorious coward and imbecile. If

Herod could yank him out and ask him where the treasure was, he would be finished.

Selina remained silent, but her gaze flicked in Darryl's direction slightly.

Truthfully, Selina had never seen that fiance of hers. Out of all those who were part of the

Stanfords, Darryl was the only person she did not recognize.

"Hoho!"

Despite having only looked once, Heron still spotted it.

The next second, Herod raised a finger to point at Darryl. "Have him tied up for me, now!"

Herod smirked at Selina. "Little Miss Stanford! This must be your fiance if I've observed

correctly. Hohoho! If I were to kill him now, wouldn't that make you a widow before getting

married?"

Everyone, including Old Master Stanford, could not help but gasp.

Herod had truly gone too far, using the son-in-law as blackmail. Despite being a good-for-

nothing, Derrick was still the future son-in-law of the Stanfords. Indeed, Selina would

become a widow if she were to be killed.

Old Master Stanford was both shocked and furious.

Despite having never liked Derrick, he had only sought him to be his son-in- law to bring

fortune to his daughter. If he were to die tonight, all that hard work from before would

have equated to nothing.

"You're shameless!"

Selina's face flushed as she could not help but cry out in anger.

At her response, Herod scoffed coldly. "So, Miss Stanford truly has a heart of steel,

uncaring even of her fiance. Alright, then. Slice his chest open. These Stanfords think

we're all talk. We've got to give them something to show for."
