Naomi turned over Francis’ body and saw that his face was pale. His heartbeat was irregular and his breathing was weak. She then ordered Erica, “Bring his medicine over and feed him two more pills.”
Erica immediately went upstairs and returned with a bottle. Naomi took two pills out of the bottle and fed them into Francis’ mouth. Then, she gave him water to dissolve the pills.
Francis would never have thought that his wife and daughter were currently plotting to kill him.
Francis was in a daze and felt someone was forcing something in his mouth. His survival instinct pressured him to open his eyes, but he heard his daughter Erica speaking instead.
“Mom, what should we do? What’s the next step?”
“What else? We will let Alex take him to his own bed and let him die,”
Francis couldn’t believe that this cold
voice belonged to his wife.
“But, Mom, he hasn’t updated his will!”
“Alex said he has a plan. We will wait for him and discuss it later.”
“That’s great. In that case, we will own 60% of the shares of the Tillman Group!”
Francis was trembling and couldn’t open his eyes, but he could hear their conversation clearly. As a result, Naomi and Erica thought that he had fainted entirely.
Their behavior made him disheartened. and he was getting distraught and distressed. He could taste the medicine in his mouth as a bitter taste flooded in his throat.
He could taste the pills and it was then that he finally realized these weren’t the
usual pills he had.
A shuddering thought came to his mind. Did someone switch them out? Is my wife plotting against me with my most trusted
subordinate and my daughter?
“Mom, why hasn’t Alex come yet? I’m getting nervous. What if he wakes up?” Erica was getting anxious at this point.
Francis felt his heart beating violently as his consciousness faded again. He fell into darkness again in pain and grief.
Under the light, Naomi and Erica never noticed that he had regained consciousness. Francis was paralyzed on the ground. He never moved and didn’t open his eyes, so they thought that he was definitely unconscious.
At the same time, Alex was rushing over to their house. Another car was in front of him and it belonged to Joe, Francis private driver. The latter had brought the gift boxes he left in the trunk back to the Tillman Residence.
Joe knew Naomi’s personality very well. If he delivered the gifts tomorrow, he would get scolded by her. Therefore, he did not neglect his duty as it was precious gifts from the Presgraves that were worth hundreds of thousands. So, he quickly returned to the residence as soon as he
realized his mistake.
Erica was getting excited as she heard the engine noise from the courtyard of Tillman Residence. “Mom, Alex is here!”
Naomi and Erica never thought someone
other than Alex would visit their house at
this hour, so they believed that he had
arrived.
However, they saw Joe walking over from the hall with a few gift boxes. He stepped into the house, but the gift boxes all fell to the ground as soon as he saw Francis lying on the floor.
“W-What happened to President
Tillman?!” Joe hurriedly asked.
Naomi quickly acted, “Joe, he just fainted!
We are waiting for an ambulance.”
“Dad! Dad, please wake up. What happened? Please be okay.” Erica kneeled and pretended to be upset.
Naomi and Erica glanced at each other. They never expected it was Joe who would arrive.
“Take him to my car! I’ll take him to the hospital. Quick!” Joe stretched out his hand to help Francis up.
Naomi was panicking. At this moment, another engine noise came from the courtyard again, and Alex rushed in. When he saw Joe on the floor, he was stunned.
“What happened to him? Take him to the hospital now!”
“Alex, get him to your car. Joe, help him out!” Naomi’s eyes turned red with urgency.
