Chapter 2045 Accidents Happen
“Let’s hear it, Mom.” “Since Wilbur has become a simpleton, let’s just allow him to live out his days in ignorant bliss. We won’t lose much by providing him with meals and a place to live.
However, the threat of him remaining alive is becoming greater due to Maya’s interest in his accident and Nicole’s determination to find him a doctor. I’m worried that they may become a liability in the future. Let’s get rid of them quietly while we still can.”
“Don’t you think that’s too reckless, Mom? Even if Dad may be able to overlook something happening to them, the Seets will pursue this to the ends of the earth. We’ll be ruined if they find out the truth about everything.”
“Not now, Nic. I didn’t mean to execute this now. I’m saying we wait for a more opportune time to make our move to minimize suspicion. We’ll make it look so natural that nobody would ever look deeper into it.”
“Do such opportunities still exist, Mom?”
“The most unexpected and advantageous opportunities are only available for those bold enough to reach out for it. Besides, accidents are far more common than you’d think. Remember Wilbur’s mother? That was an ‘accident’ too.”
“Accident?” repeated Nicholas in awe. “Did you think of something already, Mom?”
“No, it was only an idea that I wanted to discuss with you beforehand. Within the next couple of days, you need to solidify your candidacy as CEO of the company by mastering every aspect quickly. When the time comes to appoint his successor, your father will appreciate your maturity and leadership.”
“I understand where you’re coming from. I’ll do my best to master everything quickly. I’ll leave you to deal with Wilbur, then.”
“I’ll handle them.” “Let’s leave Maya out of it for the time being, Mom.” “I understand your reservations, Nic. Have faith in me, I know what’s best for you.”
Wilbur’s gaze grew cold as the conversation took a different turn, his mind still reeling from what he heard.
As if drugging me isn’t enough, Nicholas now plots for my life? Even worse than that is Mabel’s cruelty for wanting Maya dead. My mother had died from an accident as I was told. Turns out Mabel had orchestrated it! Unfortunately, they did not go too much into it. The sooner I obtain some evidence, the sooner I’d be able to unmask her for who she really is.
Wilbur also recalled the discussion about his father between his stepmother and stepbrother.
I think Mabel and Nicholas know Dad is a rational man. If I really were to die in an accident, he would consider the future of the family and his own before doing anything rash that could leave the Simpson family heirless. Obtaining evidence is critical to show Dad who they really are, and more importantly, presenting the proof to the police.
That is the only way to ensure Mabel and Nicholas get the punishment they deserve. Aside from obtaining the evidence of Mom being killed by Mabel, I need to be wary of that b*tch and the trap she has set for me and Maya. Home is a dangerous place to be right now. I wonder if the silly girl knows she is staying with this den of wolves.
Though it looked as if Maya had stayed behind to care for me, I am actually the one subtly protecting her and her little innocent heart. Things are going to be more difficult from now on. I’m afraid this is only the beginning.
On the other side of town, Sheila and Davin arrived at the Muir residence. Patrick did not bother with the jovial formalities as he did the last time his son-in-law had visited.
“Has your brother agreed to lend me two billion?” he asked bluntly as soon as the guests sat down.
Davin lifted the cup of tea Layla had prepared for him and took a sip as he glanced casually toward the surly old man. You’re not getting a dime, old man. For the sake of money, you’d tricked my entire family.
