Chapter 1332
Ian stared at his newly-married wife in disbelief. The Wace Company was acquired by the Yard
Group? I was sent by the Yard Family?
I didn’t seem to understand what was going on, asking with a puzzled expression, “What are you
talking about? I don’t understand.”
Lucy stared at I’s fake expression intently. “From the beginning, the Yard Group nned to take over
the Edwards Group. Aside from the surface interference by the Yard siblings, another group of people
infiltrated the Edwards Group in advance. And, you’re one of them.”
Lucy had investigated everything a long time ago. The Yard Family sent many people into the Edwards
Group. There were two groups in total—one was sent by Callum and Cade while the other was sent by
Henry and Ryan. Whilst both groups were slowly eroding the Edwards Group from the inside, they
were simultaneously fighting against each other too. Henry and Ryan’s methods were the most
obvious. After they got rid of Lucy, they openly entered the Edwards Group. Most of their people had
infiltrated the key departments within the Edwards Group by then. I Wace, the young mistress of
the Edwards Group, was a prime example.
Contrary to Henry and Ryan’s expectations, Callum’s men began creating strife as soon as they took
over. It brought chaos to the Edwards Group, causing the board of directors and the shareholders to be
extremely dissatisfied with Henry and Ryan. That was when Callum and Cade were supposed to step
in, under the guise of cleaning up after the mess caused by their younger brothers. At the same time,
they took the opportunity to kick their younger brothers out of thepany.
However, they did not ount for Lucy’s return. The fight between the four Yard brothers benefited her,
in the end. After her return, she started removing and weakening the Yard Family’s spies, one by one.
The first to go was Ian’s wife, I Wace. Lucy was willing to use any means to kick I out of her key
position.
As I was not very sessful at her job, Henry and Ryan were very dissatisfied with her. Still, nobody
could have expected that they would be willing to sabotage their own people during their fits of insanity.
Just because Ian kicked them once, they decided to rape I as a consequence.
Lucy exined everything right in front of Ian. “I, I know you are not happy working under the Yard
Family. You only wanted to get rid of me through Henry. Then, you wanted to gain control over the
Edwards Group through Ian. Unfortunately, you did not expect me to survive. Too bad, because I’m
here today to take your life for both private and work reasons. So, just stop struggling.”
Ian waspletely taken aback. He could never have imagined that his icy and intelligent wife would
have such intentions!
Even so, I continued to y dumb. Grabbing onto Ian’s sleeve, she begged him piteously, “Ian, I
have no idea what she is saying. She must hate me for interfering in the Edward Group’s matters
previously. But, I have washed my hands off the Edwards Group!”
He looked at his wife, then looked at Lucy. Hesitating, he did not know who to believe. After all, one
was his wife while the other was Lucy.

On the other hand, Lucy threw a length of rope and a bottle of poison onto I’s hospital bed. “Choose
one!” She condescendingly added, “It’s a good rope. It’s a good poison too—it’s the extract of the
Arrow Poison Tree. After you die, you will still maintain a ruddyplexion and a beautiful appearance.
It’s a decent way to die.”
Both I and Ian stared at Lucy incredulously. She wants I dead!
Lucy continued, “I have talked to the Family Elders Council and the Wace Family. The young
mistress of the Edwards Group, I Wace, was too ashamed to look her husband in the eye after
being raped. Therefore, shemitted suicide in her hospital ward today. Shocked, the Edwards
Family held a grand funeral for their young mistress and extended their deepest condolences to the
Wace Family, their inws.”
I nced at the closed hospital door. She could hear heavy footstepsing from the corridor
outside. It was filled with Lucy’s men. Thus, she finally seemed terrified. Clinging to Ian, she shouted,
“Save me, Ian! Save me! They are going to kill me!”
Ian stared at the poison and the rope in front of him, and the words ‘honorable death’ shed through
his head. Lucy wants I dead. She came here to tie up loose ends. After all, it would be humiliating
for the Edwards Family if word got out about this. Therefore, the simplest way to protect their honor is
for I to die. He hugged his wife tightly and angrily reprimanded Lucy, “No! You can’t kill her! She’s a
victim too!”
Lucy smiled coldly but did not refute him.
Then, he seemed to recall something and shouted loudly, “You are afraid of I, right?! I is more
capable than you are! That’s why you’re afraid that she might threaten your position by participating in
the management of the Edwards Group’s affairs! You’re taking this chance to exact your personal
revenge! You just want to kill I so that you can eradicate this threat! Am I right?!”
The more he spoke, the more furious he became as thousands of extreme and dark spections
spouted in his heart.
Lucy burst outughing. “That’s right! I am indeed carrying out my personal vendetta! I am going to
annihte everybody who stands in my way. Therefore… I must die today!”
Having said that, several people stepped forward from behind her. They pried Ian away and pressed
I down against the hospital bed. Wrapping the thick rope around I’s neck, two burly men pulled
hard on both ends of the rope. Thus, the rope dug into her neck and hindered her breathing.
I struggled desperately while screaming, “Save me, dear! Save me!”
Ian desperately tried to rescue his wife. However, he was subdued by several burly men in the blink of
an eye. Moreover, they lifted his head so that he could watch as his wife was strangled to death in front
of him.
“Save me, dear—” I screamed. Her cries were as heartbreaking as the other day.
He felt as if the little world in his heart was breaking apart, again and again. However, he was held
back, again and again. It was just like the other day. Last time, he watched his woman get raped. This
time around, he watched as she was strangled to death. “Lucy, what are you trying to do?! Ah—I’m
going to kill you! Let go of I!”
Unfortunately, his two fists were no match for the four arms holding him. In front of Lucy, he was always
powerless.
When I saw that Ian couldn’t do anything to help her, she suddenly became sweet. “Lucy, I was
wrong. I beg you; please let me live. I will never interfere in the Edwards Group’s matters ever again. I
just want to live incognito in a remote area with Ian. I was wrong. Please forgive me; I’m begging you.”
Lucy expressionlessly sat down opposite I. Her expression remained unchanged whether I
begged for mercy or tried to curry favor with her. Regardless of heaven or hell, her heart no longer
wavered.
I saw that Ian couldn’t save her and begging was getting her nowhere. Consequently, she finally
revealed her true colors as she shouted, “Lucy, you d*mn b*tch! You should have been raped to death
back then! I was the one who investigated where you and Dana were having your affair! I was the one
who told Henry about it! I was the one who brought them there! Hahaha! It was all me! What can you
do to me?! Even if I died, it will never change the fact that you were raped! I stuffed several dozen men
in there and threw several bottles of gaseous aphrodisiacs in there! You should have died back then!
Why didn’t you die?! Ian is the real future head of the Edwards Family! And, I am the matriarch of the
Edwards Family! The Edwards Group is mine! You will regret this! Even if I turn into a ghost, I will never
forgive you!
Lucy simply watched as I cursed at her. Meanwhile, I went from alive and kicking to a lifeless
corpse, her expression remaining hideously savage even after her death. On the other hand, Ian
watched as his docile and adorable wife turned into a savage and hideous devil in the blink of an eye.
He waspletely stunned by the sight. What just happened…
