Chapter 753 Perish Together


    Every time Macy lit the lighter, Yerek’s heart skipped a beat.


    He knew that those driven to madness could do anything, so he didn’t dare to provoke Macy further at


    that critical juncture.


    “Anya’s death has nothing to do with me. You’re seeking revenge against the wrong person,” Yerek


    feignedposure. “You should be looking for Christina. She knows the truth of this matter more than


    anyone else.”


    Macy didn’t trust Christina or Yerek.


    She’d rather risk killing an innocent than let a guilty party go free.


    Anya’s death was a fatal blow to her. Now that she was left all alone, the only thing that kept Macy


    going until that point was her quest to avenge her daughter.


    Macy had always abhorred Yerek and Azure. She wanted to settle the old and new scores together.


    Even if she were going to hell, she would drag them down with her.


    “Yerek, stop deceiving me. I already know the entire truth.” Macy red at Yerek hatefully. “You


    conspired with that b*tch, Emilia, to kill Anya. Don’t think I don’t know the motive behind your scheming


    is to monopolize the wealth left by Nigel.”


    How has Macy found out this ploy that had been so well hidden?


    Yerek was bewildered, but he was adept at shifting me. “I considered Anya my little sister, and her


    death also pained me. I would never go to the length of causing another person’s death for that bit of


    wealth. Besides, I hardly know Emilia, let alone conspire with her. On the other hand, Anya was very


    close to Emilia while she was still alive. Before her death, she and Emilia plotted to kidnap Christina. I


    was abroad at that time and knew nothing about the whole kidnapping process. You should meet with


    Emilia to get the full story. She’s one of the parties involved.”


    “You’re lying. When Anya was still alive, you were double-dealing behind her back and were already


    involved with Emilia. You two schemed to cause Anya’s death! Even if Anya’s death has nothing to do


    with you, I will still send you and this old woman to apany Anya in the afterlife because you owe


    me that much!” Macy uttered sternly.


    Her heart-wrenching shrieks roused Azure from her unconscious state. When Azure opened her eyes


    and took in Macy’s menacing appearance, she almost passed out again in fright.


    “Yerck, Yerek, you’re here. H-Hurry up and save me. Quickly capture this crazy woman!” Looking up


    and noticing Yerek, Azure shouted agitatedly as if she was holding onto herst lifeline


    Saying those words seemed to have exhausted all her energy as she panted weakly afterward.


    Macy red at her. “Shut up!”


    Just then, Yerek seized the moment when Macy was distracted and rushed over to grab her wrist,


    trying to snatch the lighter.


    However, Yerek had underestimated Macy’s ferocity. She resisted violently, biting and scratching him.


    Soon, his arm and face bore several bloody abrasions


    A hint of murderous intent shed across Yerek’s menacing eyes. Steeling his resolution, he swung his


    fist at Macy’s head.


    Bang!


    Macy was knocked to the ground, and at the same time, the lighter in her hand smashed heavily on the


    floor. In an instant, sparks flew everywhere.


    me erupted and spread quickly, catching on Azure. In no time, half the living room was engulfed in a


    sea of fire.


    Yerek backed away, retreating to the door.


    “Yerek, save me… Help me! Hurry up and rescue me!” Azure struggled desperately. She crawled


    toward him with great difficulty, but the surrounding fire raged. She could only watch helplessly as the


    ze cut off her escape route.


    “Hahaha! All of you deserve to die!” Macyughed hysterically. She sat in the middle of the fire with


    tears streaming down her cheeks. “Anya, I’ve avenged you. Fret not. I’m bringing them both down to


    hell to apologize to you now!”


    Yerek booted the mansion door open and fled into the courtyard in panic.

    A determined look flitted across his eyes as he turned around to nce at the luxurious mansion


    gradually devoured by the fire. It’s a good thing that Mrs. Lazuli is dead. She won’t be bothering me


    anymore.


    Yerek felt unbearably tired, having to drag along a burden.


    He figured he might stand a chance to seed even if he were to act alone. Moreover, he still had a


    final trick left up his sleeve.


    As the fire spread to the periphery of the mansion, Yerek took out his phone to call the police. “There’s


    been a murder and arson. I’m at…”


    Within a few hours, the fire that had affected half the mansion area became trending news online.


    The identity of the mansion’s owner was revealed byizens. Moreover, due to the deceased being


    Azure and Macy, Barnaby and the Gibson family also became topics of heated discussion among the


    public.


    While the online discussions were in full swing, Christina was wrapping up the final details of the


    fashion


    show.


    When thest model showed up wearing Victoria’s masterpiece, Floral Goddess, it caused quite a stir.


    In addition, with Hera’s jewelryplementing the looks, the fashion show was a resounding sess.


    Lyle swiftly walked up to Christina’s side and spoke in an undertone. “Mrs. Hadley, Mrs. Lazuli and Mrs.


    Gibson died in a fire three hours ago. The major media outlets are reporting this news, and you and Mr.


    Gibson are also on the trending list.”


    Hearing that, Christina uttered in shock, “Was the fire an ident or an act of malice?”


    “It wasn’t an ident. Mrs. Gibson confronted Mrs. Lazuli in the mansion, and a conflict arose. Yerek


    was also present, and he was the one who called the police!


    Yerek called the police? That’s interesting “What was Yerek doing there?” Christina probed further.


    “ording to the testimony Yerek provided to the police, Mrs. Gibson lured him to the mansion on the


    pretense that Mrs. Lazuli was injured and then tried to kill them, but he managed to escape.”


    Christina knew very well Yerek must be involved in the two women’s deaths. Mrs. Lazuli and Macy’s


    existence had formed a threat to Yerek, so he took advantage of this fire to get rid of them!


    “What was Barnaby’s reaction?”


    “Old Mr. Stone rushed to the scene as soon as he received the news to deal with the aftermath.


    However, he refused to handle Mrs. Lazuli’s funeral for the reason that she wasn’t his wife, so it will be


    up to you and Mr. Gibson to take over.”


    Christina curled her lips into a scornful smile and sneered, “Barnaby really knows how to y his


    cards.”


    It wasn’t Lyle’s ce toment on his employer’s affairs, so he merely asked, “Are you sure you wish


    to take over, Mrs. Hadley?”


    “No matter what, Mrs. Lazuli was my father’s mother and nominally my grandma. Regardless of how


    much I detest her, I should give her a proper send-off to avoid criticism. Go ahead and make the


    arrangements.”


    Christina fiddled with the brochure in her hand as a brilliant idea popped into her mind. “We can’t let


    Barnaby off the hook so easily. Let’s recircte and make trending the recent news about him and Mrs.


    Lazuli being seen together. She smiled faintly. Mrs. Lazuli harbored such undying affection for her old


    lover in her lifetime. Now that she’s dead, Barnaby must attend her funeral as a final act of goodwill no


    matter how reluctant he feels.”
