Chapter 2420


    “Jared, exin what''s the deal with the ashes,” Logan instructed.


    “This is what happened, Dad,” Jared began hastily. “Back then, it was already confirmed that someone


    had killed Rhett, but I just couldn''t find his body no matter how hard I tried. I know his death affected


    you greatly, but there was no telling how much more upset you''d be if we couldn''t even recover his


    body. That''s why I had no choice but to bring you some ashes and pretend that they were Rhett''s.”


    Rhett curled his lips insidiously. “Is that what really happened, my dear brother?”


    His smirk made Jared tense up for a brief moment. “Of course it is! Why would I lie to you guys?”


    “You look so disgusting when you lie, Jared,” Rhettmented with a sigh. “It''s true that you initially


    thought I''d died, but when I went looking for you, not only were you upset to see me alive, but you even


    tried to kill me. How do you exin that? Wouldn''t bringing me home alive have made Dad far more


    relieved rather than presenting him a jar of ashes?”


    Logan''s gaze darkened as he heard that. “What do you mean by that, Rhett? You''re saying you went to


    see Jared, but he tried to kill you?”


    “I meant exactly what I said, Dad. I''ll let you in on the truth. I was persecuted to the point that I nearly


    died, but Mr. Williams saved me. He''s the only reason I''m still alive now. When I had fully recovered, I


    went looking for Jared, hoping to clear up the misunderstanding between him and Mr. Williams, only for


    him to attack me like a madman. He even said I was better off dead.”


    “Such insolence!” Logan exploded instantly. “Jared! Is that the truth? You actually tried to kill your own


    brother?”


    Jared began to panic. “N-Not at all, Dad. Let me exin. Rhett''s my own brother! How could I ever do


    such a thing to him? He''s just working with Zeke to drag me down!”


    Rhett let out a sigh. “So, you''re going to keep defending yourself? Fine. I''ll prove what happened.”


    He then took a USB drive out of his pocket and connected it to therge screen.


    The device contained only one video, which then began to y.


    Rhett was shown to approach Jared, advising thetter to stop being at odds with Zeke.

    Appearing hesitant, Jared dashed into his office beforeing back out shortly.


    Then, a horrifying scene unfolded: while nearing Rhett in what seemed to be an attempt to whisper


    something in his ear, Jared suddenly thrust a dagger toward thetter.


    Yet, for some reason, the knife stopped several inches away from Rhett''s body as though something


    transparent and solid was preventing the weapon from going any further.


    Even so, Jared appeared unaware and continued to attack Rhett, thinking the dagger had pierced the


    latter''s body.


    Rhett waspletely unharmed, of course.


    In spite of that, he fell to the ground motionless, and the video clearly showed the rage in his eyes.


    Then, not realizing it was all an act, Jared uttered something along the lines of “only one of us gets to


    live” before getting his subordinates to take care of Rhett''s body.


    The clip showed Jared''s clear intentions to murder Rhett, but the dagger never seemed to prate


    thetter.


    Furthermore, despite beingpletely uninjured, Rhetty on the floor acting as though he had died.


    Most importantly, Jared truly thought his brother had died.


    At present, everyone grew bewildered as they watched the video, but Jared was visibly the most


    shocked.


    I know I stabbed his heart. I even felt his blood stter, and he turned limp!
