    Chapter 356 The Masseys Apologize


    Upon hearing what Eric said, Caspian fixed his eyes on him.


    His piercing gaze unsettled everyone.


    With just a single look, he made them feel tense and pressured.


    Saul and Jessica exchanged looks, feeling a sense of relief.


    Yet, a strange smile spread out across Caspian’s face. No one could read his expression or figure out


    what he was thinking.


    “Have you thought things through, Eric? If you confess to being the mastermind of these crimes, you’ll


    be imprisoned for life, and you might even get the death penalty!” Caspian asked.


    ???


    Eric began hesitantly, but in the end, he did not finish his sentence.


    He feared death just like any other ordinary human being, but what choice did he have? There was no


    other option avable to him.


    After a brief struggle with himself, Eric decided against resisting. All he could do was ept his fate.


    “Eric! Are you trying to worm your way out of taking responsibility for all the heinous crimes youmitt


    ed behind our backs? Even if you’re willing to risk it all, you should think about your family!” Saul shout


    ed at Eric with all the strength he could muster.


    He was frightened that Eric would spill the beans on everything.


    Eric froze briefly before letting out a hollow sigh. He couldn’t say anything.


    “That’s right. It was all my doing. I confess to the crimes! I ept whatever punishment that is given to


    me!” Eric dered with his head lowered.


    Saul exhaled in relief. Since Eric had confessed to the crimes, Caspian couldn’t do anything to the Mas


    seys.


    Meanwhile, Eric kept his head lowered to hide his tears. He knew full well he would never be able to es


    cape this situation from the moment he took the fall for the crimes.


    Caspian frowned. He didn’t expect this oue.


    The evidence he had was enough to take out the entire Massey family. But now, Eric was taking the fall


    for all the criminal activities and absolving the Masseys of all responsibility. That meant he couldn’t tak


    e down the Masseys anymore.


    Even if the authorities got involved, they wouldn’t be able to do anything.


    Using something to coerce


    What a cunning n it was!


    “I didn’t expect you to be so sly, Saul. Eric is a Massey, too. Are you telling me that these crimes have n


    othing to do with the Masseys at all?” Caspian asked with an amused smile.


    Saul was harder to deal with than Caspian had expected.


    “Eric, from this moment onwards, you’re no longer rted to the Massey family in any way!” Saul imme


    diately announced.


    Eric was dumbstruck.


    Did Saul just kick him out of the Massey family?


    Eric was overwhelmed with resentment. Saul was capable of doing the most cruel and vicious things ju


    st for the sake of saving himself.


    “Hah!” Eric scoffed. Nothing he said now would make a difference.


    “You have nothing more to say now, right, Caspian? This whole situation has nothing to do with the Ma


    sseys. It was all Eric’s doing!” Saul said as he looked at Caspian.


    He felt thoroughly pleased with himself.


    To think that Caspian wanted to go up against him! Well, Caspian wasn’t his match at all.


    “Yeah,” Caspian said with a nod.


    “In that case, we won’t take up any more of your time…” Saul quickly said. He didn’t want to stick aroun


    d any longer than necessary.


    He felt stifled in Caspian’s presence, and the pressure he felt suffocated him.


    However, seeing as the Masseys were about to leave, Caspian called out, “Hold it.”


    “What is it? Did you need something?” Saul asked puzzledly.


    “There’s one more thing we haven’t settled yet. Madam Upton and her daughter Flora were nearly beat


    en to death by Eric. You can’t deny this fact anymore, right? Well, Eric was a Massey when it happened


    . Shouldn’t you be offering your apologies?” Caspian asked grimly. Saul was startled. What was the big

    deal about hitting someone like Cora? In any case, she and Flora were still alive and kicking.


    “Juste right out and tell me what you want, Caspian,” Saul huffed impatiently.


    He was no pushover, and if Caspian had the nerve to threaten him, he wouldn’t hold back either.


    “The Masseys must apologize to Madara Upfotoaand biora. Also, they had to be hospitalized. we add u


    p their hospital bills and other varicus expenses, ites up to a sum of 50 milli dors!” Caspian said


    with a sinile.


    Upon hearing that, everyone was astonished intcluding Cora, who was rooted to the spot shock.


    She was stunned to see Caspian demanding that thsseys apologize to her. Furthermor hhe even as


    ked them to give her 50 million dors in coropizensation.


    CCora was inerely a street cleaner. She didn’t think the Masasseys would show her such courte


    and respect.


    SShe saw the displeased look on Saul’s face. Would sometethin apologize to her?


    It had to be a joke, right? Why would Saul apologize to a strectal cleandrilike her?


    Aliso, Cora thought Caspian had gone too far by asking for a coroprentation of 50 million dors. That


    was a ludicrous sum of money.


    Thebookon Saul’s face made Cora feel anxious.


    “Nidanach….” she called out nervously.


    Ashesmed at Cora, Caspian stated, “I’ll settle this matter property. Macada tipton. You an Flora sutured


    serious injuries. You deserve to bepensated!”


    Since benaddade its stance clear, Cora didn’t think it was her ce to say anything


    She knew he would certainly see to it that the matter was resolved.


    Caspian titisistiercing gaze back on Saul and said


    coolly, “If you don’t agree topensal Madam Upton.ssable don’t me me for not showing any merc


    y.


    “Even though Eliconas roken the fall for all the criminal activities, I doubt the Masssse fami can survive a


    “You!” Saul snapped, his body shaking from anger. But s, he couldn’t do anythingg


    Though he could have tried to argue with Caspian, the sharpness of Caspian’s gaze scared dini


    He abruptly recalled wivanih apppened to the Yorks and Flying Dragons.


    The annihtion of the Yours aand Flying Dragons was undeniably rted to Caspian.


    Therefore, Saul didn’t believe chant Caspian was truly the loser he was said to be.


    He feared Caspian would take oonagainst him if he didn’t agree to his terms.


    Caspian was right, of course. Although firic had confessed to the crimes, the Massey familyly couldn’t af


    “Fine! I’ll do as you say!” Saul growled through gritted teeth.


    He walked up to Cora.


    “Dad! Why did you agree to do it? Why should we apologize to a lowly person like her?” Jessica shrieke


    She couldn’t understand why she had to apologize to Cora, who was just a street cleaner. She couldn’t a


    “Shut up!” Saul roared.


    Trembling in fear, Jessica mmed up.


    She had never seen Saul getting this mad at her before.


    Naturally, Saul was reluctant to apologize to Cora, too.


    If anyone found out that he, the man in charge of the Massey family, had apologized to a street cleaner,


    He knew that everyone wouldugh at him.


    But could he refuse to do it?


    If Caspian got the authorities involved and conducted a thorough investigation, the Masseys were doom


    “I’m so sorry!”


    Ultimately, the arrogant and domineering Saul had no choice but to yield.
