Chapter 36
Raymond’s family was waiting for Frank outside.
“Raymond, what does your family mean?” Frank looked at them with a sidelong glance.
Raymond slightly narrowed his eyes. “Frank, you’re a smart person. You should know that it was only expedient for us to ask Dane to do that at the wedding. We’re on the same boat now, and betraying you won’t do us any good either.”
Frank raised his eyebrow. “So?”
“So, we should think about how to eliminate our common enemy.”
“Dad is right.” Dane nodded approvingly.
“Uncle Frank, if Agnes doesn’t die, you and Riss will always have to submit to her in the Jeffersons.”
Dane never had the thought of making Agnes die. However, she did not know what was good for her and insulted him in public, making him look bad.
Since she decided not to marry him, she was of little use to him.
“Since we’re on the same page, let’s—”
Before Frank could finish, his phone rang.
He glanced at the called ID and panicked for a second. He hurriedly walked to the side.
“Hello.”
“Agnes isn’t dead!” The person who called shouted in a sharp voice.
“I’m sorry. I didn’t think she was alive. Back then—”
“I don’t want to hear any explanation!”
The caller cut off Frank and spoke sinisterly, “Listen to me—Agnes must die!
“If she doesn’t, you and your daughter will! Do you understand?”
“Yes! I understand.”
After hanging up, Frank wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and gripped his phone hard.
‘Agnes must die!’
…
Agnes took her lawyer to Jefferson Enterprise and took over the company’s authority with drastic measures.
In the past two years of her absence, Frank had replaced most of the important staff in the company with his close associates.
Hence, as soon as Mable took over the company, the first thing she did was fire those people.
Afterward, she held a meeting and stopped all cooperation with Snyder Enterprise. Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.
Once she was done, she took a car back to the Jefferson Residence.
As soon as Mable entered the house, she saw Frank drinking tea in the living room.
“Uncle Frank, sorry for making you wait.”
Frank sat on the main sofa with his legs crossed and stared sinisterly at her.
“Agnes, I’m your uncle. You took away my power and dismissed my people as soon as you returned. Aren’t you embarrassing me? How am I going to have a footing in the family in the future?!”
Mable sneered. “You still want to have a footing in the family?”
Frank was stunned. Before he could figure out what she meant, she continued, “Frank, just based on the fact you hired Shark to assassinate me, you don’t have a place in the family anymore. Besides, you even poisoned Grandpa and tried to kill him! You deserve to die!”
Frank was appalled and turned pale right away. “You…”
He did it so secretly. How could she have known?
Mable looked at him and smirked. “Ever since I was young, Grandpa taught me that as the eldest grandchild and the future heir of the Jeffersons, I mustn’t be afraid and mustn’t be too kind. I must repay kindness but also retaliate against any wrongs.”
Frank stood up and pointed at her with trembling fingers. “You were the one who saved Old Master that night!”
“That’s right!”
Mable sat on the sofa with elegance. “Frank, I’ll give you two options. Either you and Marissa turn yourselves in at the police station tomorrow and repent and stone for your sins in the prison.”
She paused before continuing, “Or you can take your own life in the family memorial hall while Marissa cripples her hands.”
The Jeffersons had a family rule that prohibited killing within the family.
Otherwise, Mable would not give him a chance to choose and would do it herself.
Frank glared at Mable. His expression kept changing.
‘Surrender or kill myself?
‘What a joke!’
“Agnes, I choose the third option!”
Frank shouted, “Guards!”
