Lord Protector Novel

Chapter 464

Jeremy immediately picked up the USB and handed it over to Lily. “Lily, open the USB and see what’s inside.”

Zeke Williams had described the USB to have held a top-secret; it had piqued Jeremy’s curiosity about its content.

Lily plugged the USB into her laptop and played the audio.

Jeremy’s face turned pale after listening to the audio.

Damn it! Who f**king recorded the conversation?

This audio was sufficient to prove Jeremy’s malicious and wild ambition.

Daniel and his family are all artless people. Only Zeke is guileful enough to record the audio!

Zeke Williams, f*** you!

Listening to the audio again had irritated Adam further. He raised his walking stick and tried to strike Jeremy.

However, Jeremy easily grabbed hold of his walking stick. With a jerk of his hand, he snatched the walking stick from Adam.

Adam nearly fell onto the ground due to the sudden force.

Jeremy had burned his bridges so he might as well remove his facade of being a filial son. “Hmph! What I want is only the tip of the iceberg; is this too much to ask? Just because you’re biased towards Daniel, so he’s living a rich and luxurious life now. Look at us! You dragged us into all the troubles and now we’re living in poverty. We could barely make ends meet! Even if you give all your inheritance to me, that will never make up for the disparity between the financial status of the two families.”

“How dare you say something like that!?” Adam’s eyes grew wide in disbelief.

He couldn’t believe Jeremy would say something so absurd.

“I’m biased towards Daniel? I did everything for your sake! I even turn against Daniel for your benefit! Now you’re saying that I’m biased towards Daniel?”

Jeremy scoffed, “Am I wrong? If you’re not biased towards Daniel, how come he’s living a better life than me?”

“Get out!” Adam snapped, “Daniel lives a better life because he fights for it. I have nothing to do with it. It’s my fault for spoiling you all these while. I should’ve suffocated you to death the moment you were born.”

With that, Adam reached out his hands and choked Jeremy’s neck.

Adam’s anger got the better of him as he clutched at Jeremy’s neck with all his might.

Jeremy’s eyes were rolling back from the suffocation. The next moment, he slapped Adam on his face. Property belongs to Nôvel(D)r/ama.Org.

Slap!

It was a forceful slap that sent Adam falling to the ground.

Bang!

The back of Adam’s head hit the ground with a terrific thud. His body twitched convulsively for a moment before lying there motionlessly.

Blood was oozing from the back of Adam’s head. A blood puddle was forming just like a bloody rose in full blossom.

Zeke was right! The USB could really kill Adam!

Jeremy and Lily were completely petrified as they stared at the bloody scene.

Damn, is he really dead?

It’s just a slap on the face...

Jeremy kicked Adam lightly. “Hey, wake up! You can’t die because we don’t have money for your funeral.”

Adam was lifeless.

Jeremy kicked Adam harder but there was no reaction from the latter at all.

Jeremy was on the verge of a mental breakdown. “Shit! I’m done! I killed him!”

“Damn it! Adam Hinton, not only did you not benefit me when you’re alive, now you’re dragging me down when you’re dead!”

“Lily... What should we do now?”

Lily kneeled down and checked for Adam’s breath.

She heaved a sigh of relief and said, “Dad, don’t worry. Grandpa is still alive. But it seems like he will be in a vegetative state even if he manages to survive.”

Upon hearing Lily’s words, Jeremy quickly urged, “Quick, send him to the hospital...”

Lily was composed. “Dad, you shouldn’t panic. It’s not your fault.”

“Lily, what do you mean?” Jeremy asked, feeling confused.

Lily said, “Daniel Hinton is the one who caused all this. Grandpa was so mad at him that he fell into a vegetative state.”

Lily’s words had enlightened Jeremy. “Oh, Yes! You’re right! It’s all because of Daniel Hinton, not me! Daniel Hinton, you’ve pissed dad off to this extent. Just wait till I settle the scores with you. Come on, let’s send him to the hospital. He can’t die.”

Jeremy was obviously lost in his self-deception.
