Raymond’s family was waiting for Frank outside.
“Raymond, what does your family mean?” Frank looked at them with a sidelong glance.
Raymond slightly narrowed his eyes. “Frank, you’re a smart person. You should know that it was only expedient for us to ask Dane to do that at the wedding. We’re on the same boat now, and betraying you won’t do us any good either.”
Frank raised his eyebrow. “So?”
“So, we should think about how to eliminate our common enemy.”
“Dad is right.” Dane nodded approvingly.
“Uncle Frank, if Agnes doesn’t die, you and Riss will always have to submit to her in the Jeffersons.”
Dane never had the thought of making Agnes die. However, she did not know what was good for her and insulted him in public, making him look bad.
Since she decided not to marry him, she was of little use to him.
“Since we’re on the same page, let’s—”
Before Frank could finish, his phone rang.
He glanced at the called ID and panicked for a second. He hurriedly walked to the side.
“Hello.”
“Agnes isn’t dead!” The person who called shouted in a sharp voice.
“I’m sorry. I didn’t think she was alive. Back then—”
“I don’t want to hear any explanation!”
The caller cut off Frank and spoke sinisterly, “Listen to me—Agnes must die!
“If she doesn’t, you and your daughter will! Do you understand?”
“Yes! I understand.”
After hanging up, Frank wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and gripped his phone hard.
‘Agnes must die!’
…
Agnes took her lawyer to Jefferson Enterprise and took over the company’s authority with drastic measures.
Frank stood up and pointed at her with trembling fingers. “You were the one who saved Old Master that night!”
“That’s right!”
Mable sat on the sofa with elegance. “Frank, I’ll give you two options. Either you and Marissa turn yourselves in at the police station tomorrow and repent and stone for your sins in the prison.”
She paused before continuing, “Or you can take your own life in the family memorial hall while Marissa cripples her hands.”
The Jeffersons had a family rule that prohibited killing within the family.
Otherwise, Mable would not give him a chance to choose and would do it herself.
Frank glared at Mable. His expression kept changing.
‘Surrender or kill myself?
‘What a joke!’
“Agnes, I choose the third option!”
Frank shouted, “Guards!”
