Chapter 1589 We Have No Other Choice
“She? I’ve hired her at a high cost to be your mother’s bodyguard. This has been a great test of her abilities and I am sure that your mommy will feel satisfied as well.”
“Then, her face…”
“That’s a human skin mask.”
Now that everyone understood what was going on, it explained why Evan looked so calm.
It turned out that he had already placed this pawn right next to Steven!
“Steven, your son is with us and you are in our hands too. Now, Evan just needs to give his command to get rid of the both of you!”
“Stop looking so smug, Evan. There is still the black box in your Imperial Garden. With my command, the chip will be activated and every single one of you will turn to ashes. Worse come to worst, we will all go down together with you!”
Riley immediately said, “Mr. Maupay, the Maupay family must have an heir, and Ms. Maupay is still in the secret chamber. Why don’t you command for the chip to be activated and perish together with them? I’ll go back to assist Ms. Maupay and help her revive the glory of the Maupay family. Otherwise, your efforts all these years will go to waste!”
Steven narrowed his eyes.
“So you want Skyler and I to perish together with them?” he asked.
“Mr. Maupay, there is no other solution now. Evan will definitely not let you go. I would like to accompany you in your death too but Ms. Maupay still needs help. I’ve assisted you for so many years, so I am the best candidate to assist her now!”
Riley then reached out for the chip on Steven. When he touched Steven’s pocket, he realized that it was completely empty in there.
That is strange.
Steven have that chip on him at all times. What happened? Where did he put it?
“You see that, Steven? Your loyal butler has been dying to see this ending. He wants you to die together with us. With that, both the Seet Group and the Maupay family would be in his hands!” Davin said.
Riley continued to defend himself shamelessly. “Mr. Maupay, we have no other choice. If you feel that Ms. Maupay does not require any assistance to support the entire clan, I will be more than happy to die together with you. I have one hundred percent loyalty toward you but we still have to consider the future of the Maupay family and also Ms. Maupay’s future.”
Riley continued to defend himself emphatically while Steven grew more and more suspicious.
Riley should be negotiating the conditions with them and have them release me before he should even think of activating the chip and perishing together with them.
Why was he in such a hurry to activate the chip and have me die with them?
“Don’t listen to his nonsense, Steven. Don’t think about perishing together. As much as I want to kill you, I would want you to know the truth!”
“That’s right. I am really curious about the background of this subordinate of yours. Give me a few days and I will conduct a thorough investigation. By then, his real identity might just give you a big shock.”
“Don’t listen to their nonsense, Mr. Maupay!”
“They are right! Riley, you were the one who caused all these problems!”
Suddenly, a voice boomed from behind them. When they turned, they saw Sally walking toward them.
“Sally, what are you doing here?”
“I brought her here myself! You are quite a cruel dad to lock up your daughter despite her hunger strike. Would you be able to live with yourself if anything happened to her?”
Sheila suddenly appeared and began to interrogate Steven, much to everyone’s surprise.
“What are you doing here, Aunt Sheila?”
Davin was surprised. “Sheep, what are you doing here?”
Sheila looked back and shot Davin a look of confidence.
“Of course, I have to be here for such a happening scene. In fact, I brought Sally along so that she can personally tell her daddy how despicable Riley is!”
