Chapter 1796


    "You''re from the Whalen family?" Geraldine would never in her wildest dreams imagined that the


    Doyle family she held in her grasp would all be destroyed by two little girls. How could she not be


    hateful?


    Rossie held a handbag which warmed her hands. The red of her outfit enhanced the beauty of her


    cherubic face as she sat there and said, "Now, don''t say that I''m bullying you. I came here today to


    settle ounts with you."


    "On what ount? I don''t recall having anything to settle between us. I don''t even know you."


    Geraldine exuded a cold demeanour, but Rossie smiled instead. "You probably don''t know me. I''m


    the daughter- in-w of the Whalen family, the matriarch of the current generation. I''m here today


    not for other matters, but to collect the protection money from you as your Doyle family stepped foot


    into our domain in Capital City."


    "Protection money?" Geraldine queried in amusement. "It''s true that kind people are vulnerable to


    be bullied, while docile horses tend to be ridden. My family is currently in a state of poverty, on the


    verge of death and ruination. If all your Whalen family wanted was protection money, why didn''t you


    come earlier to collect them? Being here now at this time to collect, what are you all up to?"


    "I don''t know what you meant by my intention, but in regards to the issue you have over ourte


    arrival, this is something that I can tell you. Why didn''t wee earlier to collect your family''s


    protection money? There is also a reason for it.


    Isn''t that right? My family has always been led by my father-inw, Rayan. I''ve also just entered the


    family, and as the saying goes; there are three ways to be unfilial, and the greatest is to have no


    offspring. Of course, our Whalen family hopes that our children will flourish and be prosperous. To


    get married before starting a career, to have children before starting a family.


    Besides, I''ve always been so anxious to take over being the matriarch of the family. My mother-in-


    law doesn''t like to fight and kill. She had long wanted to pass on the management of our family


    affairs but I kept failing to live up to her expectations. Now I recently got pregnant, and it won''t be


    long before I have a child who will be the future head of the family.


    It wasn''t until today that I found out that the Doyle family had entered Capital City, and through the


    Whalen family domain at that. In the end, they didn''t inform us by first, not dropping by for a visit,


    and second, not extending an invitation to treat us to a meal. It''s obvious that they looked down on


    the Whalen family with their conduct.


    In that case, as the new matriarch of the family, I naturally can''t just sit back and watch them run


    amok, wouldn''t you agree?"


    Rossie''s infuriating persona was not something that ordinary people could imagine, as every frown


    and smile contained a hint of sarcasm.


    Geraldine''s hands trembled with restrained fury.


    "If what you want is money, you can have it. But why did you need to capture my family members?


    Where did you send them to?"


    Rossieughed, "When did I capture your family members? Madam Geraldine, don''t just throw


    sticks and stones whenever you please. I wasn''t the one who caught them. Before I arrived here, I


    met the anti-drug and crime unit teams. I heard that someone from your family was stealing


    antiques outside and colluded with Flynt, who had nted drugs on arge area outside the country


    under your family''s orders."


    "You''re ndering me. What evidence do you have? Whatsmore, Flynt is dead."


    Geraldine was so angry that she pped her own leg. Rossie continued, "I also heard that the


    antidrug team had found some evidence of your family interacting with him in the Moore family


    residence. As to who exactly was the aplice, I didn''t hear that part. Maybe it was because no


    one knows about their identity, which is why they arrested your family members and took them


    away.


    Fortunately, you are still here. Otherwise, I''ll definitely won''t be able to find the head of the family."


    "You are treating human life as if they''re expendable."


    Rossieughed once more, "I say, do you know what it means to treat human life as if they''re


    expendable, as if they''re not worth a straw?"


    Geraldine didn''t say anything. This little girl was too difficult to deal with.


    "Let me tell you, there was a woman named Lucy Wagner. She was kidnapped first, and then gang-


    raped. She died on the spot. She was pregnant with her baby. There was so much blood flowing


    everywhere. Her husband cried so miserably, he didn''t know where else to cry as he carried her


    lifeless body in his arms. I myself didn''t know how many times I cried seeing this.


    She was somebody''s child too. Who wasn''t born and raised by their parents before?


    As a beast, even there should be a limit in how much harm you wrought on someone, isn''t there?


    Even now as I speak, I''m trembling so much that I dare not think about it.


    You tell me, how could these people not be struck by the heavens for the evil they hadmitted?


    Life is really unfair. She would not even step on an ant, who exactly did she offend?"


    Rossie wiped away her tears and pushed on, "Let''s put it this way. Killing people is no more than


    knocking your head off to the ground. If these beasts had their necks cut off with a stroke of a de,


    I, Rossie, would not say anything and consider it as water under the bridge.


    But I couldn''t bear it, she had died too tragically.


    During this time, I''ve always dreamed about her. Looking at her appearance...it was really too


    wretched.


    Tell me, Madam Geraldine. We are both friends, can you say that this can be swept under the rug?


    Tell me!"


    Rossie waited patiently for their eyes to meet, her gaze clear on what is right or wrong, like a


    predator about to pounce on their prey and devour them.


    Geraldine felt discouraged. This will bring about their end!


    Rossie breathed a sigh. "I really hope that I''ll give birth to a daughter. When I have her, I will take


    good care of her and protect her. In the next life, I will never let anyone hurt her.


    But then I thought, these beasts are still alive. I can''t just do nothing, now can I?"


    Geraldine did not say a word. Since she had already said that she was here to kill them, it was


    useless for her to say otherwise.


    She is now just waiting for her death.


    Now that there was no one left in the Doyle family, no one would help them.


    Out of the whole family, there was only her and Hanschel left. They already had no roads left to


    retreat.


    As she thought of Ste, Geraldine regretted that she had listened to her words and entered Capital


    City to split the Richards family.


    This was the road of no return for the Doyle family.


    Rossie sat there for a while. As Geraldine remained silent, she continued, "You are still required to


    give the protection money. The widows and orphans are also quite pitiful, you know. People just


    can''t simply kill and exterminate everything in sight, like those groups of animals.


    As it turns out, I heard that there are a lot of women and children in the Doyle family.


    And I thought, the women can work as escorts. Some old men like those who had been married and


    had children before. They will y around to their heart''s content, and with a little performance, it


    can be very profitable.


    The children will be sent to a medical facility, probably take part in an experiment and whatnot.


    But after a check, I found out that these animals hadn''t even gotten married yet. Then how could


    they be dealt with physiologically?


    As a matter of fact, they''ve already been yed around enough to the point of being buried alive.


    Therefore, on second thought, I said forget it.


    Since we''ve worked up quite a sweat from everything, isn''t the line of your future generation about


    to be cut off?"


    Geraldine''s whole body was trembling. She couldn''t take it anymore.


    Rossie waved her hand. Someone walked over from behind, a notebook in their hands. Rossie


    pointed with her finger, and the person held out the notebook to Geraldine.


    She slowly looked down at it. "What is this?"


    "This is a statement about how you framed Trevor and his wife, as well as how you threatened Mr.


    and Mrs. Osteen. This statement is your protection money. You will be fine after you sign it.


    I''ll keep my word and leave both of your lives at mercy."


    Geraldine looked back at the stiff and cold body of Hanschel. In order for them to survive, she could


    only sign on the dotted line.


    With the signed document in hand, Rossie stood up and flicked a nce at Geraldine and Hanschel


    across from her.

    "As a decent human being, you can''t go too far. If you do, you will reach the end of the line. Don''t


    think about how vicious you are, I''m actually more vicious than all of youbined. The only


    difference is that I understand the price of a life."


    Rossie took all her things and strode out of the manor without even a single scratch.
