Chapter 1494


    Tobias had the intention to kill. He would eradicate anyone who stood in his way, even his own father. Although he was now


    slightly deranged, he had yet to lose his rationality. He warned Lorenzo against interfering in the household''s affairs.


    “| won''t bepromising, I’m afraid.”


    Lorenzo was not intimidated at all. He sat in his wheelchair and pointed at Maxine, saying, “I named Maxine the family head,


    hence she''ll be the family head. Tobias, you’ve been expelled from the family. You’re no longer a Caden. Get out of my sight this


    instant.”


    “| warned you...”


    In the blink of an eye, Tobias appeared before Lorenzo.


    However, at that moment, a figure appeared by the door. Upon seeing the figure, Tobias’ face paled as if he had seen a ghost.


    Staggering backward, he stammered, “Y-You...! H-How can this be?”


    Tobias could not believe his eyes.


    An elderly man slowly walked in. He was none other than Bet, the person with the greatest authority in the household and an


    eighth-rank grandmaster.


    “Father...”


    Upon seeing Bet, Lorenzo greeted him respectfully.


    “G-Grand Patriarch...” Maxine was stunned. She did not expect Bet to show up. His arrival filled her with hope.


    “A-Aren''t you dead?” Tobias red at Bet.


    Nearly three months had passed, and Bet was still nowhere to be seen. That was why Tobias judged him to be dead and


    decided to act today.


    After ambushing Bet at such a close distance, there was no way he would still be alive. Tobias only dared show himself after


    believing that he was dead.


    “Very good, Tobias.” Bet walked over to him with a furious expression on his face.


    He never expected Tobias to ambush him. He trusted himpletely and even nurtured him as the family head, who went on to


    take the helm of the Cadens’ household for thirty years. For the past three decades, though Tobias did not perform any major


    meritorious services, he managed the household in an orderly manner. However, he then tried to kill Bet over a Spirit Turtle’s


    core.


    Saying that, Bet roared inughter.


    After the initial shock, Tobias swiftly recollected himself. So what if Bet was still alive? He had reached the middle stage of


    the eighth rank. His strength was nowparable to his grandfather.


    After calming down, a smile crept up on his face, and he said, “Grandfather, you came at just the right time. Tell us, was it


    Maxine who ambushed you?”


    Though he was smiling, his eyes were cold.


    “Grandfather, you should think twice before saying anything. May | remind you that many important household members are


    here?” Tobias said threateningly.


    James looked at Bet and asked, “What’s going on, Grand Patriarch? Was it Tobias who ambushed you that day?”


    Bet nodded slightly and said, “It was him, alright. | was gravely injured after he ambushed me. As my life was hanging by a


    thread, | feigned death in the hopes of fooling him. After he left, | hurriedly made my escape.”RêAdt??St chapters at Novel(D)ra/ma.Org Only


    “| knew he’d be afraid. After he left with the core, | was worried about infighting among the Cadens. And so, | instructed Lorenzo


    to stabilize the situation by making you the family head. However, as you had no interest whatsoever in the position, we could


    only make Maxine the family head.”


    Bet narrated the chain of events to James.

    “Hahaha...”


    Upon hearing this, Tobias cackled


    and pointed at Bet, saying,


    “That''s right. So what if | was the one
