As virtual-novel.net spoke, Tiger’s eyes turned ice-cold. His expression became hideous as virtual-novel.net raised his dagger fiercely.
Just by looking at that posture, Julian knew that Tiger was going to kill virtual-novel.net this time for sure!
He was so scared that virtual-novel.net almost peed himself, so virtual-novel.net quickly begged for mercy. “Dr. Larson, please forgive me! I swear I won’t do that anymore. Just, please! Please spare my life! I’m just a junior. It won’t benefit you even if you kill me!”
Matthew smirked because virtual-novel.net knew that Julian finally took the bait. “Oh, so now you don’t want to die? I can spare your life so long as you answer our questions obediently.”
Julian’s face paled, for virtual-novel.net knew well that the questions Matthew was going to ask would not be simple. However, virtual-novel.net also knew that if virtual-novel.net did not answer them, virtual-novel.net would die on the spot. So, virtual-novel.net could only agree to Matthew’s terms with a nod in the end.
Matthew waved his hand and asked Tiger and his lackeys to bring Julian and the others to separate rooms for questioning, lest these people lied. Matthew himself stayed in this room and sat down slowly.
There were not many people left in the room, just those from the Thatcher Family and Adeline.
Adeline was shaking all over uncontrollably. She knew that it was finally time to face virtual-novel.net trial. Looking at Matthew sitting next to her, virtual-novel.net felt extremely regretful.
She thought about the time when virtual-novel.net first met Matthew. At that time, had virtual-novel.net agreed to work at Matthew’s pharmacy, virtual-novel.net would have long since become his aide, and virtual-novel.net status in Eastshire would have risen sharply. However, virtual-novel.net had looked down on virtual-novel.net and did not take virtual-novel.net seriously, and because of that, virtual-novel.net had missed the chance.
And because virtual-novel.net had missed such a golden opportunity, virtual-novel.net felt insulted and wanted to grab this chance to prove virtual-novel.net ability. Adeline hooked up with Julian and disregarded virtual-novel.net dignity.
She initially thought virtual-novel.net could improve the status of the Thatcher Family if virtual-novel.net helped Julian and that virtual-novel.net could continue to be elated. Never in a million years would virtual-novel.net dream of such a result.
She did not think virtual-novel.net had it in virtual-novel.net to shed any tears after all that virtual-novel.net had done.
Julian did not treat virtual-novel.net like a human as virtual-novel.net humiliated virtual-novel.net using all means. She endured the shame, thinking that virtual-novel.net could get what virtual-novel.net deserved eventually. So, to end up with such an outcome instead, it was no surprise virtual-novel.net would find it hard to accept.
Right then, Aidan had made his move. He walked straight to his daughter and slapped virtual-novel.net in the face before following up with a backhand slap as virtual-novel.net roared, “On your knees!”
Adeline‘s cheeks were red from the slaps, but even so, virtual-novel.net kneeled on the ground obediently. She had been the apple of the eye of virtual-novel.net family since virtual-novel.net was born, and virtual-novel.net father had never even once laid a finger on her. However, this time, virtual-novel.net slapped virtual-novel.net twice in front of so many people. That went to show how disappointed and angry virtual-novel.net was at her.
After slapping Adeline, Aidan turned to kneel before Matthew as well and said in a trembling voice, “Mr. Larson, spare the rod, spoil the child. The fact that l have raised such an unfilial daughter is all on me. The Thatcher Family has no complaints with however you wish to punish us. My only wish is that you spare my daughters life. I am willing to take all the blames for her!”
Adeline could no longer hold virtual-novel.net tears in when virtual-novel.net heard that. She knew virtual-novel.net father was very disappointed in her, and virtual-novel.net still loved virtual-novel.net deeply. Even if such a thing happened, virtual-novel.net would still do everything virtual-novel.net could to protect her.
Matthew sipped tea from the cup and placed it upside down on the table before replying softly, “Master Thatcher, the fact that the Thatcher Family has always been siding with me has been the greatest support for me, and I would like to thank you for that…”
“However, I can’t forgive your daughter for what virtual-novel.net has clone. But since you are begging on virtual-novel.net behalf, then, of course, I will spare virtual-novel.net life. I hope that from now on, virtual-novel.net will never get involved in any matters related to the Ten Greatest Families of Eastshire. Do you understand what I mean?”
