Chapter 74: House of Sin!
Others might think Jun Chester was bluffing when they heard his words.
But Lyvia had every reason to believe.
As long as Jun Chester said he could save Norman, Norman could be saved!
Because Lyvia knew.
She herself was saved by Jun Chester.
However…
Although Lyvia was kind-hearted.
When she thought of Norman’s attitude towards herself and her foster parents, she still made a decision.
Since she had already fallen in love with Jun Chester wholeheartedly, she would let her man decide!
Don also knew that Lyvia was saved by Jun Chester.
Moreover, Don suspected.
Lyvia’s ability to recover her appearance and become even more beautiful than before must all be Jun Chester’s doing.
Don’s relationship with Norman was different from Lyvia’s.
He was Norman’s biological son.
No matter what, Norman couldn’t just watch his father die.
At this time, Jun Chester had already let go of Alex’s arm and threw him to the ground like trash.
Alex was furious but dared not speak.
For a while, the other members of the Knowles family in the ward were all terrified of Jun Chester.
Only Norman on the bed remained angry.
He glared at Jun Chester with hatred.
“You bastard! You just said you could save my life?”
“Don’t say I don’t believe your lies, even if you could really save me, I don’t need your help!”
“Call my lawyer, I’ll make a will now!”
“The Knowles family’s fortune will have nothing to do with them!”
“I, I’ll make a will now…”
“Cough, cough, cough, cough…”
The father and son present were overjoyed upon hearing this.
Only Don cared more about Norman’s health than where the Knowles family’s assets would ultimately end up.
He looked at Norman on the bed and then at Jun Chester standing in front of him.
It seemed as if he had aged more than a decade in an instant.
Jun Chester coldly stared at Norman and sneered.
“I really don’t care about the bit of money you have. Give it to whoever you want, or save it to buy your own coffin!”
Norman’s eyes widened.
He was about to be angered to death.
He had worked his whole life to build the Knowles family.
Although it couldn’t compare to a large financial group, it was still worth several hundred million.
To this bastard, was it just a mere trifle?
And what did he just say?
He told him to save the money for his own coffin?
Was this something an in-law should say?
“Ah!”
Norman’s body suddenly sprang up, spitting out a mouthful of blood!
Then came a violent cough!
“Cough, cough, cough, cough…”
“You…”
“You…”
“Damn it…”This is from NôvelDrama.Org.
“Cough, cough, cough, cough…”
It seemed like he was about to cough out his lungs.
Moreover, his lips were turning purple-black, a clear sign of impending death.
No one came forward to comfort him.
Especially the Knowles brothers, Robert and Cole, they all wished for Norman to die as soon as possible. Don was the only one who stepped forward to support Norman.
“Dad, you’re hurting yourself.”
Then Don looked at Jun Chester and sighed heavily.
“Jun, he’s old. You, you just shouldn’t say those things to him.”
But who would have thought that as soon as he finished speaking, Norman suddenly slapped Don across the face.
“Unfilial son!”
“All of you are!”
“You’re just like him! That unfilial wretch, hasn’t he said enough?”
“Cough, cough, cough, cough…”
Upon hearing Norman’s curses, the strong and healthy Don shed tears. Robert stepped forward and pulled Don aside.
“All of you, get out!”
“Get out!”
“You’re not welcome here!”
Then Robert straightened Norman’s chest.
“Dad, while you can still breathe, make your will quickly. Our family’s fortune cannot fall into the hands of outsiders!”
As Norman coughed violently, he nodded.
“Yes, quickly, call my lawyer over!”
Hearing this, Robert was overjoyed and quickly shouted to Cole.
“Cole, call the lawyer! Call the lawyer!”
Seeing what was happening, Don was so angry that he laughed. He shook his head as he laughed and cried at the same time.
“Father, oh father!”
“You’re truly a confused old man!”
“Fine!”
“Fine!”
Then Don tried to suppress his emotions, his eyes red as he looked at Jun Chester.
“Jun, please!”
“Save him!”
“Consider it a huge favor I owe you!”
“After today, I and the Knowles family…”
“We will have nothing to do with each other!”
Jun Chester’s face was as cold as ice. But since Don had said so, even if Norman was a confused old man, he had to save him. However, just like he said, Norman didn’t deserve his help.
Without saying a word, Jun Chester turned around and left the ward, calling for Mildred Clayborne. During Lyvia’s hospitalization, Jun Chester had taught Mildred Clayborne the Forbidden Thirteen. He even taught her the Life-saving Thirteen.
With Mildred Clayborne’s current abilities, although she couldn’t fully restore Norman, keeping him alive for half a year was no problem. Jun Chester could let Norman live, but he didn’t say for how long.
Half a year! It was already an act of kindness and righteousness!
And…
This was all for Don’s sake.
Otherwise, given Jun Chester’s temper, not killing that disrespectful confused old man with a single slap would have been considered good luck!
However, Jun Chester’s kindness was still met with cold stares from those people.
Except for Don and Lyvia, everyone in the Knowles family believed that it was Mildred Clayborne who had saved Norman Knowles. Moreover, after Norman was saved, Robert and Cole couldn’t wait to get rid of Mildred Clayborne, the meddlesome woman! That was because although Norman had been saved, they hadn’t obtained his will.
Before Mildred Clayborne arrived, Jun Chester had already told her about the Knowles family’s situation. So, after she had done everything, she coldly responded to Norman’s gratitude.
“If you want to thank someone, thank Jun Chester. It’s because of his kindness that I decided to save you!”
“Otherwise, with just one word from Jun Chester, you would have been dead by now!”
Upon hearing this, Norman felt as if struck by lightning. He couldn’t understand why this Mildred Clayborne in front of him would speak up for that despicable man! It was only after some inquiries that he found out.
Oh.
They were friends!
Watching Mildred Clayborne leave the consulting room, Norman furrowed his brow.
“Does she expect me to thank that despicable man?”
“Dream on!”
“I’ve heard that the despicable man and that illegitimate child Lyvia haven’t gotten their marriage certificate!”
“Humph, good, perfect!”
“For the sake of the Knowles family, sacrificing that illegitimate child Lyvia is also acceptable!”
Thinking this way, Norman told the people around him.
“I’m very happy that I’ve recovered from my illness!”
“I want to hold a celebration banquet!”
“Let’s invite all the major families of Dirtmouth, especially Lordran Mining!”
“Riordan Wells, the president of Lordran Mining, has only one son, and he’s still unmarried!”
“Most importantly, his son is a natural-born waste, with cerebral palsy. Even if Lyvia has a child out of wedlock, marrying her to Riordan Wells’ foolish son would still make them happy!”
Upon hearing these words, Robert found himself in a difficult position.
“Dad, Don has openly declared that he wants nothing to do with us. Will they attend our banquet?”
Norman sneered.
“Don is the bastard child of my ex-wife, just like his mother, both stubborn. I know him too well, as long as I give him a little kindness, he’ll be grateful to me!”
“Also, on the day of my birthday banquet, Jun Chester must be present!”
“I want to beat his face to a pulp in front of everyone. Let’s see if that despicable man can still be arrogant and domineering then!”
