After making a call to Anna, Alex did not care about the noise downstairs and turned to look at Franklin.
At this moment, he had already been scared out of his mind as his face turned pale.
âDo you wish to die or live?â
Franklin wished dearly that he could go around to beg for help now. Upon hearing his words, he
hurriedly cried and said, âI wish to live. I wish to live, Bro⦠Brother, please forgive me. Just treat me
like a fart and let me go!â
âLet you go? Alright, then you can just go!â
âHuh⦠W-what about the parasite inside my stomachâ¦â
âWhat does it have to do with me?â
âAh⦠Brother, son-in-law. My good son-in-law, I beg you. Please let me go. I know I was wrong. I really
know I was wrong!â
Seeing Franklin crying as he kept groveling and knocking his head on the ground to admit his mistakes,
Cheryl was reminded of her mother. At the time, her mother had died from depression. She still could
not forget this man before taking her last breath, but he even refused to see her for the last time. He
even said that he would rather let her die fast to reincarnate into the next life quicker.
Was this something that a human being could do?
âWhat did you do wrong?â James said.
âI was wrong. I shouldnât have abandoned my wife and daughter. I shouldnât have eloped with someone
else. I shouldnât act below the moral baseline for the sake of temporary pleasure⦠Dad, Iâve already
been punished. That b*tch turned around threw herself at someone elseâs embrace after spending all
my money. I was even sold off to work as a miner in the cold northern region. I couldnât even come
back even if I wanted to!â
âHmph! You couldnât even come back even if you wanted to. Thatâs because you deserved it!
Therefore, youâre back now to sell off your daughter. Do you think Iâll sympathize with you?â As James
said furiously, he picked up a wooden stick and hit Franklin right in the face.
It was until the stick was broken did he then let him go.
Alex said, âGet lost! Starting from tomorrow, go to the tomb of Cherylâs mother and kneel before it for
forgiveness. Kneel ten hours per day. Iâll see your performance in one month before deciding to give
you an antidote.â
Franklin left the Coney familyâs residence in fear.
James sighed and said that their family was unfortunate for giving birth to such a brute. Cheryl hugged
Alex right away, burying her face in his arms without saying a word.
James was startled for a brief moment.
Then, he turned around and entered the kitchen to talk to his wife.

Levi fled in a hurry. He finally escaped back to the place where he lived with Carol Rockefeller
temporarily. He was now gravely injured. He needed Carolâs help to send him to Hosiah Qantas for
treatment.
Puff!
As soon as he saw Carol, he spat a mouthful of blood again.
Shocked, Carol asked, âYoung Master Bayer, whatâs wrong with you?â
Levi said, âWhat bad luck. My dad asked me to marry the granddaughter of Legendary Doctor Coney in
California. It turned out that the woman is Alex Rockefellerâs woman. I was squeezed by him in mid-air
and fell from a tall building. Three pieces of my ribs are broken, stabbing into my lungs. Carol, hurry up.
Find Qantas the Weird and send me to him. Only he can save me now.â
Carol was even more surprised.
Then, she asked, âWhy did your dad ask you to marry the granddaughter of Legendary Doctor Coney?
Now that youâve been beaten to such a state, does your dad know?â
Levi said, âNot yet, one of my arms is also broken. When I tried to escape from there just now, my
personal bodyguard had already died while trying to save me⦠Cough, cough. Stop the idle chatter.
Hurry and send me there, or else Iâm really going to die here.â
âOh, okay. Just rest on the couch first. Iâll give you something to fix your arm. Otherwise, itâll be
crippled.â
âAlright!â
Levi half laid on the couch. He took out a medicine and consumed it, activating the inner force inside
his body to heal his injuries.
However, Carol did not go and find the item for fixing his arm. Instead, she found a knife. Her
expression was hideous and her eyes were cold. She let out a strange smile in the mirror.
Then, she walked toward the outside.
âCarol, is it done?â
Levi asked without opening his eyes.
âItâs done, Iâll bandage you right away!â
As the voice fell, the knife hidden behind Carolâs back stabbed into Leviâs chest.
âAhhh!â
