Lucy watched expressionlessly as Isla was strangled to death on the bed. She continued watching as her men hung Islaâs body up, creating the illusion that she had committed suicide. She had finished her discussions with the Wallace Family. As such, they were waiting for news of Islaâs suicide. When everything was done and over with, she got up and left without sparing a single glance at Ian, who was sitting on the floor in a daze.
Ian was staring at Islaâs corpse; his eyes were completely blank after suffering the shock. All of a sudden, he saw that the documents Lucy brought with her were still lying around. During his struggles just now, he had kicked the documents off the bed and scattered them all over the floor. As a result, a pile of photos was strewn about in front of him.
He randomly picked up two photos. The photos depicted an unsightly scene. His icy, intelligent, and considerate wife was entangled with Henry and Ryan. She was licking and sucking, busying herself in all directions. She looked like a b*tch in heat, desperately trying to satisfy her urges. Looking at her expression, she didnât look like she was being forced to do those actions. It doesnât look like the day she was raped eitherâ¦
Each photo had a time stamp. Moreover, each location was especially marked with a pen too. Various locations were listed, including a hotel, the Edwards Group, and a karaoke bar⦠There was also a photo depicting Isla, Henry, and Ryan indulging in a wedding dress roleplay, in a place Ian did not know about, on the very day Ian got married. One hour before our wedding, she was kneeling and giving the twins blowjobs in her wedding dress. Then, she vowed to be with me for the rest of her life using that very same mouth during our wedding one hour later!
âHahahahaââ Looking at those photos, Ian suddenly burst out laughing instead. Amidst his laughter, he frantically tore the photos to pieces and scattered the pieces all over the hospital ward. Soâ¦
everything was a lie. What a joke. Lucy once mentioned to me that I can never become the head of the Edwards Family because I am easily deceived by women. At the time, I scoffed at her words. But now⦠I was fooled by the fake Lucile and deceived by Isla⦠Despite being cheated on, I was so smug⦠thinking that I could finally take on Lucy with help from my other halfâ¦
He stood up indifferently, stepping on the pieces of the photos as he walked out of the hospital ward.
Not once did he turn back to look at his wife that had âcommitted suicide by hangingâ. Standing at the door to the hospital ward, he numbly lit up a cigarette and smoked on his cigarette. As the cigarette smoke filled his nasal cavity, it felt like a miraculous cure that relieved his tense and broken mind at this point. After a while, he tossed the windproof lighter in his hand into the hospital room behind him, and a large fire ignited almost immediately. However, he simply walked away calmlyâ¦
With that, a large fire and dozens of lives covered up the shame of the Edwards Family. Unfortunately, the perpetrator was still at large.
At the Edwards Group.
âFather, I donât believe I did anything wrong. I was protecting the Edwards Family! If you believe that I did something wrong, then please remove my name from the Edwards Family!â
When Jordan heard the news, he rushed back only to discover that Lucy had finished clearing up the mess by then. Isla was dead; Henry and Ryan were placed under house arrest at the Yard Residence;
and Anna, Callum, and Cade had fled back to Ronney City. As a result, all of his plans had been disrupted.
âLucy, youââ Lifting his hand, he wanted to slap her fiercely in punishment. However, he realized that she had dealt with the matter perfectlyâhe could not find fault in anything she did. If he were looking at it from the Edwards Familyâs point of view, that was exactly what he would have done.
Unfortunately, he was no longer just part of the Edwards Family nowâhe had various powers under him. And now, she completely separated the Edwards Family from the Yard Family by doing this! The Edwards Family loathed the Yard Family. Similarly, the Yard Family detested the Edwards Family. With several dozen lives lost between them, it would not be easy for the two families to reconcile with each other.
Looking at it from the big picture, it was very dangerous for the powers under him to be in conflict with each other. After all, an internal conflict would make it easier for his defenses to be broken through.
In the end, Jordan withdrew his hand. Clenching his fists tightly under his sleeves, he said, âNow that youâve finished cleaning up the mess, donât pursue this matter any further. Donât cause more trouble for your younger brothers. I will send somebody to take them away.â
Lucy replied, âOkay.â
Jordan came and went in a rush, only staying for two days during his return. After comforting his two sons, he immediately flew back to Ronney City. Anna had fled back to Ronney City âwith her tail between her legsâ after being frightened by the murderous Lucy. Therefore, he needed to deal with the matters thereâ¦
âThis is the list of Islaâs people within the Edwards Group.â Ian took the initiative to hand over some of Islaâs work materials. When Isla married into the Edwards Family, the two of them had certainly been plotting to use the Wallace Familyâs wealth to strengthen their position. Later, Ian brought her into the Edwards Group to help him. After a while, she brought in a group of her own people, seemingly to help him fight for the position as head of the Edwards Family.
At that time, I felt so smug about it⦠I canât believe what happened after! Knowing that he was not capable of going against Lucy, he decided he might as well serve under her as the second-in-command of the Edwards Group. For that reason, he handed over all the information he had on his own initiative.
Lucy silently took the information from him before leaving in a hurry. From then onward, Ian chose to serve under her as the second-in-command of the Edwards Groupâ¦
None of the people who contributed to what happened that night will get away with it! After getting rid of Isla and the rest who posed a hidden threat to the Edwards Group, the Edwards Group finally stabilized. Then, her next target became clear.
Meanwhile, Mitchellâs Technology had long been on the verge of dying. The capital and supply chains were broken, the products could not sell, the workers were on strike, the executives had resigned, and their debt was staggering. Finally, the moment everybody had been waiting for cameâCooper officially announced the acquisition of Mitchellâs Technology. Following that, a major management overhaul took place. Naturally, Sandra was kicked out of the company and vanished suddenly after facing multiple accusations from all directions.
In a simple rental house out in the countryside, Sandra spent the last of her money to buy a dose of drugs and injected it into her veins. At that moment, she felt as if her life was full of hope again. She was the wonderful young lady of the Mitchell Family all over again. I will soon be able to regain the Mitchell Group!
The drugs she purchased from the Phantom Wolf had long been used up. Without those drugs, she felt as if she didnât have any strength in her body at all and couldnât do anything right. Moreover, she was drowsy, panicky, and especially prone to losing control over her emotions. Fortunately, she soon found another more direct way of cheering herself up again. Needless to say, that was through the use of a product most people tended to avoidâdrugs.
Many people would start with small doses during their first attempt. Although she just started using the drugs, the dosage she needed was higher than that of a long-time drug user. Any other drug addict would have died from an overdose from the amount she was using. However, she was completely dissatisfied with that amount and practically lapped the drugs up like an unsatisfied dog.
Sandra enjoyed herself for a while, feeling as if she had ascended into immortality. Both her hearing and her sense of smell were very well-developed. It felt like both heaven and earth were under her control.
However, she suddenly heard a rush of footsteps among the insect cries in the middle of the night. At present, she was living in the countryside surrounded by farmland. Practically nobody lived nearby.
Therefore, so many people appearing without any warning in the middle of the night indicated that the situation was dire.
Opening the door, she saw that the road on the other side of the farmland was filled with people and cars. Two women stood on the road, chatting under the heavy protection of their bodyguards.
Lucy was smoking a cigarette. She was wearing a leather jacket, and her flaming red lips left a vivid red mark on the cigarette butt. Turning to Sophia, who was standing next to her, she suddenly asked, âDo you know of Devil Island?â
