Chapter 68
Roman looked coldly at the two people who were constantly shouting. There was no fluctuation on his face.
His dark eyes were so cold that it was frightening.
âRoman, what are you standing there for? Hurry up and untie me!â
âElder brother, I feel so painfulâ¦â
âMom is really kind. She tied you up for a whole day and night, but you didnât get much injuries.â
Romanâs heart sank.
âWhat do you mean? Donât talk so much nonsense. Let me go!â
Roman suddenly smiled.
He turned the dagger in his hand.
Then he suddenly stabbed the knife into Brooksâ shoulder.
âAh -!â
The intense pain made him scream uncontrollably.
âDo you understand what I mean?â Roman turned the dagger, letting the blade cut the flesh around the wound bit by bit, and asked him in a light voice.
Brooks was trembling all over, and his whole face was twisted into a ball.
âYou⦠you unfilial son⦠I am your father! How dare you treat me like this! You will die a horrible death!â
Roman sneered, âWhen you were discussing about killing me, did you think that I was your son?â
Brooks said with a trembling voice, âNo matter what, you canât do anything to me. Your life was given by me. Even if I want your life, you have no right to blame me. I have already let you live for so many years!â
Roman laughed, âDad, your genes are really strong. I have perfectly inherited your selfish and cold genes.â
âWhen I stabbed you, I didnât feel guilty at all âJust like when you said you wanted to kill me, there was no hesitation or reluctance.â
âWe are not like human, so we shouldnât blame anyone.â
Brooks looked at Roman in horror.
Roman smiled lightly even with a trace of warmth, but he felt cold from the bottom of his heart.
He always knew that Roman was very rational. Sometimes, he was too rational and lacked a trace of human emotion.
Even if it happened to their parents, Roman first considered how to save Galley familyâs dignity instead of caring about his
parents
But at least he wouldnât hurt them in the past.
But now, Roman was going to deal with him. He began to feel fear.
âRoman, calm down. We are a family. Letâs talk things out.â âMoreover, killing is illegal.â Brooks said in a trembling voice.
âYou still have a bright future. Donât ruin your future just for a moment of impulse!â
âYou have always been calm. Donât do anything st upid!â
âI donât have a future.â Roman shook his head.
âBut mom, second brother and third brother still have a future.â
âYou two are selfish and vicious people. You will become their burden and even drag them down.â
âBrielle hates the three of us the most. What she wants is the three of us, because only the three of us want to take her life.â
âMother and second brother are only indifferent to her. The punishment they receive is enough to make up for their harm
to Brielle.â
âOnly the three of us need to use our lives to wash away our sins.â
âYou⦠What do you mean by that? What are you trying to do?â Brooks asked with a face full of horror.
Pearl, who was facing her, was so scared that her whole body trembled.
Even though Roman did not attack her or speak to her, she was still so scared that she didnât have any courage to look at
him.
The meaning of Romanâs words was to drag them to their deaths!
No!
She didnât want to die!
Even if her reputation was ruined and she became a street rat, even if her body was incomplete, she still wanted to live.
She was so rich; she could live happily as long as she was alive.
She didnât want to die!
âElder brother, please let us goâ¦â
âYou let me go, 1⦠I will think of a way to kill Brielle. She is the culprit of our misfortune. As long as she dies, our family will be fine. We can continue to live the same loving life as before.â
âBrother, you are the most rational person in the family. Donât do anything st upid!â
âWe are people on the same line. We should be united against outsiders, not killing each other!â
Pearl tried to persuade him with fear in her voice.
âPa!â
Roman turned around and slapped Pearl hard in the face.
This slap was yery hard.
Pearlâs head was knocked askew and hit the pillar behind her. The head hit the pillar with a loud sound.
Her head shook a few times and then drooped down. There was no movement.
He didnât know if she was knocked out.
Brooks was so scared that his whole body trembled. He looked at Roman in horror and didnât dare to breathe.
Roman turned around and walked out.
Brooks didnât dare to say anything and could only watch him close the door.
The dagger was still stuck in his body, and he did not dare to let Roman pull it out.
When Roman returned to the living room on the first floor, Sarah was sitting on the sofa in a daze, holding a mobile phone in her hand.
Obviously, she had already understood the public opinion on the Internet..
She also knew what Roman had done.
âMom.â
Roman walked into the living room and called out softly.
Sarah came back to her senses and looked up at Roman blankly.
After a while, Sarah finally opened her mouth and asked in a trembling voice, âRoman, is everything online true?â
âYou really want Lola to commit suicide and frame Brielle?â
Roman pursed his lips and nodded.
Sarahâs eyes reddened.
She suddenly stood up and raised her hand to slap Roman.
âPa!â
Romanâs face gently tilted to the side, but there was still no change in expression on his face.
Sarah screamed at the top of her lungs, âHow could you do such a thing!â
âInstigating others to commit suicide! This is a crime!â
âMoreover, Brielle is your younger sister. How can you use such a vicious method to deal with her?â
âIf your plan succeeds, Brielle will become the murderer. She will die!â
Roman did not say anything.
âI always thought that you only less cared about family. I did not expect you to be so ruthless. You actually wanted to kill your own sister. In order to harm her, you even forced an innocent girl to die!â
âYou are too scary⦠Why did you become like this?â
âYou have always been the most sensible and worry-free one. Why did you become like thisâ¦â
Sarah cried sadly.
At this moment, the blow she suffered in her heart was even greater than when she found out that Brooks and Pearl had an affair!
Roman silently looked at the wailing Sarah and did not speak.
After a few seconds, he turned and walked upstairs.
A few minutes later, he went downstairs again and put a card on the table. He said to Sarah, âDuring this period of time, I have changed all the assets that Galley family has into cash. The money has been deposited into a foreign bank. No matter what happens in the country, the money canât be moved.â
âGalley family canât make a comeback. Kayden has been targeting Galley Group recently. It is only a matter of time before Galley Group goes bankrupt.â
âSell the shares at a low price before Galley Group goes bankrupt. At least a part of the money can be saved.â
âAs long as you donât gamble with this money, it will be enough for you to live a peaceful life for the rest of your life.â
âYou can keep this card yourself. As for second brother and third brother, I have arranged everthing well for them.â
Sarah looked at Roman in a daze.
He was actually ready.
For a moment, she did not know what to say.
âDrink some water first and calm down.â Roman went to help Sarah pour a glass of warm water for her.
Sarah took the water and drank it mouthful by mouthful.
After drinking the water, she felt dizzy.
Before she could ask, she fainted on the sofa.
#
Sarah didnât know how long she had been asleep.
When she woke up, she was lying in the room, covered with a quilt.
She looked out of the window. It was already cold.
The phone showed that it was 8:30 in the morning.
She hurried out of the room and ran downstairs. She did not see Roman.
â
â
She immediately ran to the basement and found that Brooks and Pearl were missing!
The dagger was gone.
The ground had also been cleaned up, and there was no trace of blood.
Were they taken away by Roman?
â
Sarah ran back to the living room on the first floor and took out her phone to call Roman, but she found that no matter how she called, she could not get through.
âWhat exactly is Roman trying to do? Where did he go?â
At this moment, the doorbell rang.
Sarah ran to open the door and found that there were several policemen at the door.
The policeman standing at the front took out his police certificate and an arrest warrant. He said to Sarah, âHello, we are the police of Ocean City XX Police Station.â
âLast night, it was exposed on the Internet that Roman induced others to commit suicide and led public opinion to frame others. After investigation by the police, it is basically true. Now we have to take Roman back to the police station and investigate further.â
âYou are Romanâs mother, right? Please cooperate with our work and call Roman out.â
Last night, when the incident with Lola broke out, the police had already gotten off work.
Therefore, there was no way to investigate immediately.
Today, as soon as they went to work, they began to investigate this matter. After that, they immediately applied for an arrest warrant to arrest Roman and bring him back to justice.
Sarahâs face was pale, and she said in a trembling voice, âRoman is not at homeâ¦â
The policeman said. âThen do you know where he went?â
âI donât know. I was still contacting him just now, but I couldnât get in touch with him.â Sarah shook her head.
She also took out her phoneâs call record and let the police see it. She made more than ten calls.
The policeman said, âWe need to go in and search. Please cooperate with our work.â
Sarah moved to the side and let them enter the room to search.
The policemen began to search around. Sarah sat on the sofa in a daze.
Where did Roman go?
Did he run away for fear of punishment?
The crime of absconding was aggravatedâ¦
Sarah sat on the sofa and turned on her phone.
She didnât even need to check on the Internet, and all the major software sent her messages.
She saw a piece of news called âRoman posted a video to admit that he framed Brielleâ and clicked on it.
At two oâclock in the morning last night, Roman posted a video on Twitter.
In the video, Roman personally came out and admitted that he proposed to let Lola commit suicide to frame Brielle. He also admitted that he arranged a water army to guide public opinion and discredit Brielle.
But he said that he did not force Lola to die, just let her choose. Everything was her own choice.
