Chapter 553


    Chapter 553 Arthur Has Lost His Mind


    Next to them, ke was frozen in ce. He had never imagined that the brother he had always chased


    after would think of harming someone—and that someone was their younger brother whom they both


    grew up with no less.


    For the longest time, ke had been stumbling around the entertainment industry and did not know


    much about their family issues, but he still knew that although Arthur looked unapproachable, he still


    loved their family deep inside. However, all of this was just a lie to obtain their family fortune.


    “Arthur… I still can’t believe that you’d be able to do something like this.” ke looked at Arthur’s


    twisted expression in shock as he said, “Max was the youngest, and he’d always been following in our


    footsteps. He told me that you were a little quiet, and even though you were nothing but kind to him, it


    always felt like you weren’t happy about something, so he wanted to make youugh more.”


    Hearing that, Arthur suddenly fell silent.


    “He’d always been worried about you and cared for you a lot and would make sure to take out the time


    to call home even if he was in school, but you never picked up the phone.” ke took a deep breath.


    “Edmund was always the one who answered, but what Max asked the most was, ‘How’s Arthur? Is he


    still unhappy?’ But I never thought you’d actually think about harming him.”


    Naturally, Arthur was unwilling to believe him easily, and he scoffed. “Stop lying. Isn’t Callum the person


    he cared about the most? Don’t bring up brotherhood in front of me right now.”


    “Arthur, are you even human?” Edmund threw a punch at his face, sending him to the ground as he


    practically roared, “All of us could see how kind Max was to you except for you. All you care about is


    those goddamn stocks and family fortune of yours!”


    As Arthur looked at the pain in Edmund’s eyes, the vicious rebuttal that was just about to spew out of


    his mouth got stuck in his throat. Was he really wrong? However, he’d had enough of constantly being


    neglected and disdained growing up. When he was a child, it was due to his chubby figure, and once


    he got older, it was because of Callum. It felt as if he’d never been taken seriously in his entire life.


    “No matter what, everything has its consequences. Listen here, Arthur, you will pay for what you did


    one day!”


    Arthur stumbled to his feet and wiped the blood away from the corner of his mouth with his fist. “Okay,


    I’ll be waiting.”


    Upon seeing his unrepentant expression, Elspeth decided not to give him any more chances, and


    soon, police sirens were heard outside the window.


    A look of shock shed past Arthur’s eyes. “You called the police?”


    “We said we’d make you pay, so of course it would be a painful price.”


    Not longter, a group of police swarmed into the room and stared at Arthur, who was standing in the


    center.


    He spread his arms and said, “You don’t have any proof that I did anything. It’s useless even if you call


    the police.”


    “Who said I don’t have any proof?” Elspeth mmed a document on the table. “This is the evidence


    that you vited the contract.”


    “I see. No wonder you were waiting for me here.”


    It made sense now why she was dead set on not signing the contract earlier.


    “I was waiting for the right time.”


    Upon saying that, she pped her hands lightly, and a person slowly walked out from the corner.


    It was the person in charge who had been frightened earlier, and he cowered until Elspeth sent him a


    re, after which he hurriedly rambled, “I can attest that half a year ago, Arthur instructed me to


    damage Max’s racing car in the racingpetition abroad so that his car would malfunction and cause


    Max’s death. I also have our call history and transaction records here.”


    A crack appeared in Arthur’s expression. “Didn’t I tell you to delete the records?”


    The man dared not reply, while Elspeth smiled calmly next to him. “I guess you don’t know who I am.”


    After all, what information could be hidden from a hacker?


    Finally, a trace of anxiety appeared on Arthur’s face.


    “Don’t worry, there’s still more waiting for you.”


    Elspeth lifted her eyes and looked at the door, where Jethro, sporting a ck tuxedo, entered. It was


    their first meeting after a long while, but it seemed that he was doing well, and he looked much calmer


    andposed.

    “Arthur, I’m sure you never expected that although it looked like Jethro joined ourpany for your


    benefit, he’d already nned to be a spy for us long ago.”


    Jethro cleared his throat and answered, “That’s right. Arthur has instructed me to steal Azure


    Corporation and Winthrop Group’s data many times in the past. Not only that, but he also embezzled


    public funds,mitted tax evasion, and faked his ounts. Bluestone Corp’s operation as a whole is


    filled with ws.”


    Arthur was enraged by his words. “Nonsense!”


    “Officer, here is the evidence that I’ve put together over the past year.”


    With that, he ced a stack of documents on the table.


    “I see what’s going on now. All of you are turning on me, huh?” Arthurughed wildly, causing his


    assistant to tremble with fear at the sight.


    Arthur sensed her fright with his keen gaze, and he suddenly lost his mind and stepped forward to grab


    her neck, his eyes turning red as he demanded, “What about you? Did you sell me out too? Why did


    you take me here today? Were you conspiring with them?”


    His assistant gasped for air, her face turning red from his tight grip. “No, I didn’t… Please don’t suspect


    me…”


    “You didn’t? Then, how are you going to exin what happened today?”


    As the police officers watched him go mad, they were about to step forward to stop him when he


    unexpectedly pulled out a pocketknife and pressed it against his assistant’s throat. “Don’te over. If


    you get any closer, I’ll kill her.”


    Callum growled coldly, “Arthur, have you gone insane?”


    “That’s right, I’m insane. All of you have driven me insane a long time ago! Back when Dad allowed you


    to enter Winthrop Group but not me, I’d already gone insane!” Arthur let out a crazedugh, and his


    fingers slipped, causing the knife to graze the assistant’s neck.


    Upon feeling the piercing paining from her neck, the assistant broke into terrified wails.


    “Stop crying. You’re annoying me. If you keep crying, I’ll end your life.”


    In the first ce, his assistant was a timid person, and she could only mp her mouth shut and let out


    a muffled sob at his words.


    “Arthur, what does this have to do with her? Why are you threatening her? Things have alreadye


    to this, and it’s only a matter of time before your downfall. Why are you still doing this?”


    Upon seeing him lose his mindpletely, Elspeth couldn’t help but take a step forward.


    “Don’t you daree over!”


    Suddenly, Arthur pointed the knife at her, the sharp end aimed straight at her chest. “I did all of this for


    you, but you never cared about me and fell for Callum instead. What’s so good about him? Does he


    love you as much as I do?”
