Chapter 479 Swatting Mosquitoes
As Veronica reveled in her excitement, the second elder of the McCarthy family observed the Crawford
family with a cold gaze.
He found their extravagant decorations to be excessive and a clear disy of prodigality. In his opinion,
such trends would inevitably lead to the emergence of indulgent and wasteful sessors.
The size of the main house was also a concern for him. A grand residence like this was believed to
deplete people''s spiritual energy excessively. ording to residential omens, it was considered a
house with a murderous aura. If they could not restrain the excessive grandeur, it would only lead to
their downfall in the future.
In his eyes, the Crawford family represented the epitome of a typical wealthy family. Their lifestyle and
choices had, in his view, tarnished the purity of the McCarthy family''s bloodline.
If Lisa had married that elderly man of pure-blood lineage in the past, how could the two children of the
McCarthy family have contracted such impure blood? It''s maddening.
The second elder of the McCarthy family cast a nce at Veronica.
Veronica quietly approached Jack and whispered, "Mr. Jack, the second elder wants to speak with
you."
Jack nced at Anthony, then proceeded to lead both of them outside.
The second elder of the McCarthy family was rather brusque: "I have no interest in wasting time with
themon folk, so I''ll get straight to the point!"
"The Crawford family is destined to face a catastrophe today. Concerning the murder... I called you
murderers because that''s what you are, and I can save you! If you wish to avoid trouble, simply follow
my instructions,"
Jack: "Is that some kind of magic wand?"
Jack maintained a calm gaze as he examined the man before him and asked, "What are you trying to
say?"
The second elder of the McCarthy family smirked with disdain, saying, "Lisa, the one who brought sin
upon our McCarthy family, have you brought her back? Have you discovered that she possesses traits
that differentiate her from ordinary people?"
Jack''s eyes narrowed slightly in response.
The second elder of the McCarthy family proimed, "Being a member of the McCarthy family, I
imnted parasites within her body from the moment of her birth! Lisa''s parasite resides within her
heart, and I possess the power to control the parasite and end her life whenever I please!"
"This means that whether or not the Crawford family should be used of murder is entirely within my
control!"
Jack was speechless.
In a cold tone, he questioned, "What do you want?"
The second elder of the McCarthy family recognized his familiarity and sped his hands behind his
back, stating, "Drake and Josh are part of the McCarthy family. We simply wish to reim our
bloodline! We have no intentions of interfering with the rest,"
One cannot entirely me him for his arrogance, as there were indeed remarkable and peculiar
individuals in this world. Those who have truly encountered them, be they businessmen or influential
figures, tend to feel fear and exhibit caution!
It was not surprising that the Crawford family was wary of them.
Jack added, "I see, you didn''te apanied by a police officer,"
The second elder of the McCarthy family sneered, saying, "It no longer matters. What I seek now is a
response from the Crawford family. Let me warn you that there are certain things you cannot
This statement triggered a realization within Jack.
He was aware that the sudden arrival of the newdy was peculiar, but he was unaware that Lilly had
removed the parasite earlier that morning.
So he hesitated.
At that moment, Lilly''s gentle and clear voice resonated, "Jack, don''t let them bother you! Aunt Lisa will
be alright."
She rolled her eyes and added, "They''re just boasting and trying to deceive others. I don''t believe they
possess such abilities!"
Upon hearing this, Jack''s heart instantly eased.
Now, within the Crawford family, there was no doubt that Lilly''s words are the most valuable and
trustworthy.
To Jack, they hold the utmost credibility. Hugh had always emphasized the importance of trusting her
words without hesitation.
" I had just mentioned that these individuals are not to be taken seriously! This woman has repeatedly
posed as Hugh''s wife, and today she dared to pursue him?"
Veronica''s expression turned sour, "How dare you!"
Jack retorted, "I dare!"
What did he not dare to do?
Regardless of where he assumed responsibility, he was righteous in every word he spoke!
Veronica had not expected him to be so audacious, ready to act upon his words with the pitchfork!
She struggled vehemently, causing her hat and mask to fall off.
"Release me!" Veronica impatiently eximed, "Do you know who I am?"
As she removed her mask, it became apparent that she had a hairless head and was toothless. Jack
was taken aback. Did she consider herself a goddess?
Speechless, Jack uttered, "I know, you are Mr. Anthony''s wife."
Veronica grew ted, saying, "Yes! How dare you..."
"Hiya!"
How dare you speak nonsense? What do you mean you''re Mr. Anthony''s wife? I''ll chase you out!
The second elder of the McCarthy family shouted in anger, "Stop! Enough!"
He turned his gaze towards Jack, seething with rage. "Mr. Jack! Don''t assume that I won''t take any
action against you just because you have control over the two children of our McCarthy family! You
must understand that our McCarthy family has never harbored any ill intentions towards you, our in-
obedient to me!"
Jack remained calm.
Lilly hid behind Jack, her little hand waving as she shouted furiously, "Fork him!"
Jack swiftly and forcefully flipped Veronica over, then directed his attention towards the second elder of
the McCarthy family.
The demeanor of the second elder turned icy, his fingers subtly moving.
But he did not lose his temper. Did Jack believe he was just an ordinary person?
A slender, nearly translucent insect swiftly flew towards Jack.
The second elder of the McCarthy family vowed that this wretched servant would meet his demise on
the spot, or else the Crawford family would never take his words seriously!
However, there was a sudden snap.
Lilly raised both her hands and swiftly swatted the parasite, crushing it like a mosquito.
She hurriedly wiped her hands against her backside and innocently said to Jack, "There are
mosquitoes,"
Jack responded, "Alright, we''ll arrange for pest controlter,"
The second elder of the McCarthy family was stunned.
Was it a coincidence?
He had heard about how this child was highly favored by the Crawford family. It seemed that someone
from the McCarthy family must have taught her some skills, which coincidentally led to the sessful
elimination of the parasite...
The second elder of the McCarthy family believed that this must be the case. After all, the young
patriarch of their McCarthy family was capable of even suppressing malevolent spirits.
Themotion outside caught the attention of those inside.
"What''s going on?" Anthony emerged and surveyed the scene with a cold gaze.
Jack swiftly approached and spoke a few words in a hushed tone.
Anthony shifted his gaze towards the second elder of the McCarthy family, who sneered back at him.
The police officer furrowed his brow and eximed, "What in the world is happening?!"
During their journey, these individuals imed to be guests of the Crawford family, emphasizing the
urgency of discussing a matter regarding the children.
Based on their professional instincts, the police officers had a sense that these people were suspicious.
Hence, they allowed them to proceed to maintain the appearance of an ongoing investigation.
Otherwise, it would be unlikely for unrted individuals to approach the scene during a case.
Veronica pointed towards Josh, who stood behind Anthony, and tearfully eximed, "Officer...they, they
Steward was puzzled, unable toprehend the situation.
The second elder of the McCarthy family was silent.
What an idiot…
What good would it do for them to reveal such information in front of the police?
Wouldn''t the police officers ask how Veronica knew her sister was killed?
Why did she not mention it earlier during their journey?
Steward grew furious, realizing that the n was not going as intended. He now wished to confront
Veronica and teach her a lesson.
Veronica had been growing increasingly foolish over the past few years, and the reason behind it was
unknown to the second elder of the McCarthy family.
Finding himself in a difficult position, the second elder seized the opportunity and stated, "We are here
today to find members of our McCarthy family. Do you dare to bring Lisa out? Don''t even think about
denying it, as someone witnessed you carrying her lifeless body back!"
As he spoke, he discreetly used his fingers to perform a pinching motion, attempting to sense Lisa''s
presence.
With that pinch, he was certain that Lisa was no longer alive.
The parasite would also be dead.
The second elder intended to bring cmity upon the Crawford family first, believing that only through

their suffering would they truly understand the gravity of the situation and recognize who held the
power to speak.
Observing the second elder''s action, Veronica swiftly retorted, "Why, are you afraid? Did you hide my
sister''s body?"
Deep down, she held onto the hope that by involving herself in the matter, she could find a way to
make Mr. Anthony plead with her...
She could provide testimony and expose the two elders of the McCarthy family as the ones responsible
for her sister''s death, as she possessed evidence to support her ims.
Veronica''s determination grew stronger with the thought that if Anthony would just acknowledge her
and ept her, she would be willing to betray the McCarthy family for him.
She had endured the burden of the McCarthy family''s downfall and the constraints it brought upon her
for far too long, and she had reached her breaking point.
