    Daniel Williams coborated to take down Chris Shelby, his archenemy. Michael Collins held no


    fondness for either of them. "It''s him after all!" Chris Shelby squinted his eyes. "Daniel Williams just


    won''t go away!" Observing Chris Shelby''s expression, Michael Collins asked with a sly smile, "Chris


    Shelby, dare you to challenge the prince of Amerosia, Daniel Williams?" "Hmph!" Chris Shelby


    sneered, "Michael Collins, don''t provoke me. I will deal with Daniel Williams in due time, but today,


    you cannot escape death!" Whether Chris Shelby dealt with Daniel Williams was his own business,


    but Michael Collins was doomed to die that day.


    Knowing his fate, Michael Collins lightly chuckled and asked, "Chris Shelby, how do you n to kill


    me?" "Michael Collins, you are Esther''s grandfather after all. I don''t wish to eliminate you


    completely. However, since you brought this upon yourself, I can only send you on your way. But


    rest assured, I will grant you a painless death," Chris Shelby remarked as he retrieved a vial of


    poisonous Rosalind Nightshade from his pocket and ced it on the table. Seeing the Rosalind


    Nightshade on the table, Michael Collins'' pupils constricted.


    He truly didn''t want to die if he had a choice. After all, even ants struggle to survive, let alone a man.


    But Michael Collins knew that Chris Shelby wouldn''t spare him this time. He sent assassins to kill


    Esther and then sent henchmen to kidnap Hope. Both actions crossed Chris Shelby''s line. Michael


    Collins hesitantly picked up the Rosalind Nightshade from the table. "Chris Shelby, I should have


    died a long time ago. Ever since you killed my son and granddaughter, I should have died. I''ve


    endured the humiliation to seek revenge on you!" "Unfortunately, I am not your match! But don''t be


    too pleased. Even if I die today, I will be waiting for you down below. I want to see just how far you,


    you bastard, can go!"


    With those words, Michael Collins unscrewed the bottle and poured the entirety of the Rosalind


    Nightshade into his mouth. A momentter, a drop of blood dribbled from Michael Collins'' lips. His


    eyes slowly dimmed. Finally, Michael Collins breathed hisst breath. However, his eyes brimmed


    with regret. He refused to die this way! He hadn''t killed Chris Shelby yet! Nevertheless, no matter


    how regretful Michael Collins felt, his death marked the end of the Collins family. Apart from Susan,


    no one remained in the Collins family. Witnessing Michael Collins'' demise, Chris Shelby rose


    expressionless and ordered, "Bury him properly!"


    "Yes!" James Mester nodded, not uttering a word. His gaze towards Michael Collins was filled with


    pity. This poor man. He should have enjoyed the utmost honor brought by Chris Shelby. But due to


    his greed and lust for money, he gradually lost his humanity and eventually lost his life. Life is


    precious; family love is the most valuable! Wealth is only fleeting. Why don''t many people


    understand this truth? While James Mester pondered, Chris Shelby left for Cloud Bay. Inside the


    vi, Esther sat on the sofa. Chris Shelby approached with a smile, "Darling, why are you still


    awake?" Ignoring Chris Shelby''s question, Esther gazed directly at him, "Darling, I need an


    exnation for what happened today."


    The recent events had been too bizarre-multiple attempts on her life and Hope suddenly getting


    kidnapped. Esther sensed that Chris Shelby was keeping something from her. At his words, Chris


    Shelby''s expression turned serious. He walked over to ask, "Is Hope asleep?" Esther nodded,


    "She''s asleep, but she had a scare during the day. Other than that, she''s fine." Hearing that Hope


    was unharmed, Chris Shelby rxed. Esther continued, "Darling, I want to know why I''ve been


    targeted repeatedly these past few days, and why Hope was kidnapped from her kindergarten."


    These recent events were too abnormal. Even if Esther were naive, she knew that Chris Shelby


    was hiding something from her.


    Instead of answering Esther''s question, Chris Shelby calmly said, "Esther, your grandfather has


    passed away. He died tonight, and I just returned from seeing him." "What? My grandfather is


    dead!" Esther was utterly shocked. She stared at Chris Shelby in disbelief, "Did you kill my


    grandfather?" Chris Shelby nodded, not denying, "Yes." Boom! Esther felt as if a thunderbolt had


    struck her head. She stared at Chris Shelby with widened eyes, "Chris, why? Why did you kill my


    grandfather? He was just a seventy-year-old man!" Esther found it hard to believe that her own


    Chris had killed her grandfather. It was too much for her to ept, and her mind went nk.


    Chris Shelby whispered, "Because he wanted to kill you and Hope. I couldn''t tolerate that." Chris


    Shelby could have deceived Esther, iming that Michael Collins died of illness. But he chose not


    to. They were husband and wife; there was no need for secrets. Inevitably, Esther would learn the


    truth one way or another. Hence, Chris Shelby decided to be upfront. "My grandfather wanted to kill


    me? And Hope?" Esther was speechless at the moment. The sudden influx of information


    overwhelmed her. Chris Shelby ced a recording pen on the table. "This is your grandfather''s


    dying testimony. He admitted hiring assassins to kill you and sending henchmen to kidnap Hope, all


    to take my life!"


    "He was beyond deranged. For you and Hope''s sake, I had to act. Esther, I''m sorry for not telling


    you earlier. I only wanted to spare you the distress." "I..." Esther opened her mouth but couldn''t find


    the right words. She picked up the recording pen and listened. Indeed, her grandfather had paid


    killers to target her and ordered Hope''s kidnapping. After a long silence, Esther copsed into Chris


    Shelby''s arms. "Darling, I believe you! Whatever you do, it is for our family''s well-being. This news


    is just too sudden for me. After all, no matter what, he was still my grandfather." At her words, Chris


    Shelby understood Esther''s feelings. Michael Collins was Esther''s grandfather, and his sudden


    death overwhelmed her emotions.


    Esther looked up and said, "Darling, no matter how grave his mistakes, he is still my grandfather. I


    want to give him a proper burial."This is property ? of N?velDrama.Org.
