Chapter 543: Eliminate Ernest Hawkins
A delightful smile broke upon Benjamin’s lips as he saw her cadaverous face and he was kind enough
to exin to her, “The rule of the Turner’s is always like this, the heir won’t be reced unless he’s
dead. But if there’s any exception, in order to avoid the heir that’s been deprived of heirship still
insisting to take back the privilege and threatening the new heir’s status, even if the original heir’s not
dead, he would suffer devastating punishment that will cause him to lose his legs, arms and
reproductive function.” He would linger on with hisst breath of life!
Florence drew a cold breath and her body uncontrobly trembled due to fear. She did not dare to
imagine the treatment Ernest would face afterwards…He would lose his legs, arms and reproductive
function! “Ernest’s heirship won’t get eliminated,” she spoke with quivering voice. “I won’t marry you
even if it costs my life.”
As long as she did not marry Benjamin, the Turner’s would not have heir for recement. Ernest would
only be punished heavily but his heirship would not be eliminated. She must stop that from happening
at all costs. The moment she had that thought, she heard Benjamin’s devil-like voice. “It’s toote, no
matter what you do now.”
Florence froze. What did he mean? She looked up in panic and saw a middle aged, butler-looking man
carrying something amidst the bustling crowds on the screen with a serious look and he was walking
towards the head of the family. He spoke modestly, “Sire, Mr. Benjamin Turner said he wants to give
this to you, he said it’s important.”
The butler was Benjamin’s man and he always knew how to act ording to situation, therefore the
thing must be very important, or else, he would not hand it to him during the meeting. Theodore did not
hesitate and he extended his hand, “Give it to me.”
The butler immediately stepped forward and opened the box, taking the digital voice recorder out from
the inside and handed it to him. Theodore nced at the recorder and examined it. The elders who
were sitting below him spoke, “Since Benjamin delivers such a thing at this moment, it could have
something to do with our discussion, let’s listen to it.”
Since it was delivered in the open, the content must not be something unspeakable. Maybe, letting
everyone listening to the recording was exactly what Benjamin wanted. Theodore only hesitated for a
moment and he pressed the button in front of everyone. The sound from the recorder was clearly
heard.
“Florence, will you marry me?”

“Yes.”
“Please wear this ring.”
“Yes.”
…
Without any surprise, the recording was about the conversation during the proposal Benjamin secretly
recorded. After making amendments to the sound, Benjamin’s voice could be discerned and Florence’s
voice was exceptionally clear. Florence stood before the disy screen with her body froze and face
pale. Her heart kept on sinking.
The recording was short and soon ended. Yet it resembled a stone that was thrown into a calmke,
ripples appeared afterwards. An elder immediately asked, “Is this the recording of Benjamin’s proposal
to Florence?” The butler was given permission and he nodded, answering, “Yes, it is. Mr. Turner has
sessfully proposed to Miss Fraser, and if there’s no ident, they’ll get married today.” His words
resembled an atomic bomb that set everyone on fire. Several elders could not help but stand to their
feet and they spoke with excitement.
“Is it true? Did Benjamin really sessfully propose to Florence and they’re gonna get married?”
“Wonderful! Benjamin really did get to marry Florence!”
“Our rtionship with the Fraser’s would then be enhanced. We didn’t ruin our hundred years of
connection.”
The elders were both excited and emotional. Yet Florence’s heart had sunk to the bottom and she
could not see any hope. With the recording, and the Turner’s high hopes on Benjamin, they naturally
believed him. What about Ernest…?
“Please eliminate Ernest’s heirship and let Benjamin be the new heir!”
“I agree!”
“Me too!”
“So am I!”
The elders all stood up and expressed their opinion. The situation all favored Benjamin and no one had
any hesitation towards elimination of Ernest’s heirship. Everyone was looking at Theodore with burning
eyes, demanding him to make a decision.
Florence felt her body went cold and she muttered with her voice trembled, “You’re his grandpa, you
couldn’t possibly harm your grandson, right? Please save your only grandson, let him go…” Her voice
was soft and trembling, she prayed. She hoped Theodore could at least think of his rtionship with
Ernest as a family and offer him a little hope.
Benjamin sneered and said with a cruel and evil tone, “Grandpa? Valuing bloodline is entirely a joke in
the Turner’s.” Florence doubted that. How could it be possible? Before she could retort, she noticed the
dignified old man who had been sitting on the throne had stood up while holding the recorder. He
nced at the crowd and said clearly, sternly and mercilessly, “After Benjamin get married with
Florence and the marriage certificate is taken, the heir of the Turner’s will be reced immediately.
Ernest’s heirship is eliminated and Benjamin will rece him.”
His words seemed to have sentenced Ernest to death. Florence had a sudden ckout and the words
kept on lingering on her ears.
Ernest’s heirship is eliminated.
Ernest’s heirship is eliminated.
Ernest’s heirship is eliminated.
It was true that Theodore did not care about his family rtionship with Ernest at all. For the sake of
benefit, he could abandon Ernest without hesitation and ruin his whole life. After a few seconds, she
then heard Theodore’s stern and cruel voice from the screen. “Go to the Fraser’s house and get Ernest
back, prepare to carry out the punishment.”
Get Ernest back! Ernest was now captured by Stanford, and ording to Stanford’s hatred towards
Ernest, he would probably lend a hand by putting handcuffs on him and took the initiative to bring him
to them. Ernest would have no chance to escape then. Florence’s legs became weak and she
copsed onto the floor. It’s over. Ernest is doomed.
The oue hade to a foregone conclusion. Benjamin let out acent smile. His aspiration
all these years was finally going to be aplished. Not only he had sessfully be the heir,
challenging the head of the family, he had even killed Ernest. In the end, he was the only winner. He
stared at Florence who was on the floor superiorly withcence and spoke with arrogance, “Let’s
go, Florence, we should go to the church now.”
Florence felt her body cold and her voice was trembling uncontrobly. She spoke with great difficulty,
“Aren’t we going to the bureau of civil affairs?” The bureau of civil affairs at least required the residence
booklet. Since her booklet was not with her, maybe she could buy some time. Yet Benjamin’s words
vanquished all her hopes at once.
“Do you know the reason I brought you here? Because ording to thew here, as long as we swear
in the church, we could immediately register and be legal husband-and-wife.” Quick and
straightforward. And residence booklet is not needed.
Florence’s face became paler and she was so despair that she had a sudden ckout. Benjamin had
arranged everything, he was only waiting to use her. She could not resist at all.
