Chapter 499
Night of Destiny
Naomi turned over Francisâ body and saw that his face was pale. His heartbeat was irregular and his
breathing was weak. She then ordered Erica, âBring his medicine over and feed him two more pills.â
Erica immediately went upstairs and returned with a bottle. Naomi took two pills out of the bottle and fed
them into Francisâ mouth. Then, she gave him water to dissolve the pills.
Francis would never have thought that his wife and daughter were currently plotting to kill him.
Francis was in a daze and felt someone was forcing something in his mouth. His survival instinct
pressured him to open his eyes, but he heard his daughter Erica speaking instead.
âMom, what should we do? Whatâs the next step?â
âWhat else? We will let Alex take him to his own bed and let him die,â
Francis couldnât believe that this cold
voice belonged to his wife.
âBut, Mom, he hasnât updated his will!â
âAlex said he has a plan. We will wait for him and discuss it later.â
âThatâs great. In that case, we will own 60% of the shares of the Tillman Group!â
Francis was trembling and couldnât open his eyes, but he could hear their conversation clearly. As a
result, Naomi and Erica thought that he had fainted entirely.
Their behavior made him disheartened. and he was getting distraught and distressed. He could taste the
medicine in his mouth as a bitter taste flooded in his throat.
He could taste the pills and it was then that he finally realized these werenât the
usual pills he had.
A shuddering thought came to his mind. Did someone switch them out? Is my wife plotting against me
with my most trusted
subordinate and my daughter?
âMom, why hasnât Alex come yet? Iâm getting nervous. What if he wakes up?â Erica was getting anxious
at this point.
Francis felt his heart beating violently as his consciousness faded again. He fell into darkness again in
pain and grief.
Under the light, Naomi and Erica never noticed that he had regained consciousness. Francis was
paralyzed on the ground. He never moved and didnât open his eyes, so they thought that he was
definitely unconscious.
At the same time, Alex was rushing over to their house. Another car was in front of him and it belonged
to Joe, Francis private driver. The latter had brought the gift boxes he left in the trunk back to the Tillman
Residence.
Joe knew Naomiâs personality very well. If he delivered the gifts tomorrow, he would get scolded by her.
Therefore, he did not neglect his duty as it was precious gifts from the Presgraves that were worth
hundreds of thousands. So, he quickly returned to the residence as soon as he
realized his mistake.
Erica was getting excited as she heard the engine noise from the courtyard of Tillman Residence. âMom,
Alex is here!â
Naomi and Erica never thought someone
other than Alex would visit their house at
this hour, so they believed that he had
arrived.
However, they saw Joe walking over from the hall with a few gift boxes. He stepped into the house, but
the gift boxes all fell to the ground as soon as he saw Francis lying on the floor.
âW-What happened to President
Tillman?!â Joe hurriedly asked.
Naomi quickly acted, âJoe, he just fainted!
We are waiting for an ambulance.â
âDad! Dad, please wake up. What happened? Please be okay.â Erica kneeled and pretended to be
upset.
Naomi and Erica glanced at each other. They never expected it was Joe who would arrive.
âTake him to my car! Iâll take him to the hospital. Quick!â Joe stretched out his hand to help Francis up.
Naomi was panicking. At this moment, another engine noise came from the courtyard again, and Alex
rushed in. When he saw Joe on the floor, he was stunned.
âWhat happened to him? Take him to the hospital now!â
âAlex, get him to your car. Joe, help him out!â Naomiâs eyes turned red with urgency.
