Elvira coldly said, “You should bear the consequences of being distracted.”
Reuben widened his eyes in fear and stood up. “Julian!”
In a daze, Reuben witnessed Julian’s death before him. His body grew heavier with each passing second, and he struggled to drag his feet toward Julian.
Elvira glanced at Scott nearby, and he nodded slightly.
Reuben approached Julian, sinking to his knees. Julian lay in a pool of blood.
Tears welled up in Reuben’s eyes. He raised his shaky hands and placed them on Julian’s lifeless, widened eyes. He gnashed his teeth and assisted Julian in closing his eyes, all the while keeping his head low, crying. “I’m sorry… I’m so sorry, Julian!”
Kneeling there, he didn’t cease his repentance.
At that moment, someone opened the office door. Rowan entered, and the tragic scene made him pale.
Scott tilted his head and looked at Rowan. “Did you manage to get everyone here?”
Rowan suppressed his anger and replied. “Yes, Mr. Hendrix.”
Reuben turned his head slowly toward Rowan, Rowan awkwardly looked away. A low snort escaped Reuben. It turned out they had made the right guess.
Scott rose to his feet and glanced at Reuben indifferently. “You should come along and get things done.
with me.”
He walked out of the office, with Elvira following.
After a few seconds, Reuben stood up in a trance, behaving like a puppet as he exited the office.
While brushing past Rowan, the latter grabbed Reuben’s arm and asked in a low voice, “Are you going to work for him, Reuben? Are you out of your mind?”
Reuben laughed coldly. “Why can’t I, since you’ve done something you shouldn’t?”
“I was forced””
Reuben ignored Rowan, freed his arm, and caught up with Scott.
Rowan had no choice but to follow them.
Alex and Lucas paced restlessly in the hotel. Paige was sitting nearby, hugging her knees and staring As noon approached and Reuben had yet to call, Lucas grew more vexed.
“Did something happen to Reuben and Julian?” he asked.
Alex pinched his brows. “I don’t know!”
“I think Scott must have come, or else Reuben would have called or texted us already,” Lucas speculated.
Their conversation made Paige slowly lift her head. “What is Scott doing here?”
Alex explained. “We guess he’s going to snatch all of Noah’s business and properties.”
Paige scoffed, “What an absolute demon.”
“No! I’ve got to go to the company to get some clues, Lucas said with frustration.
Alex frowned. “Aren’t you going to call your father?”
Lucas was stunned as he realized what he should do. “Yeah, I’ll ask him to get his men to look things up here.”
After that, he went out to make a call.

Alex nodded.
“Okay.Let’s go take a look now.”
Paige chimed in.
“I’m coming too!”
Half an hour later, the three of them arrived at the company’s building in a car and noticed numerous bodyguards standing at the door.
Shortly afterward, a few bodyguards emerged holding a stretcher.
On the stretcher lay a covered figure, making it impossible to discern the identity.
The opposing party soon started driving.
Alex turned to Lucas, saying, “Let’s follow them.”
For approximately two hours, they trailed the car until it stopped in front of a crematorium.
The stretcher was taken out and sent inside.
Alex, Lucas, and Paige promptly exited the car and entered the crematorium.
They cautiously followed behind as the bodyguards left, handing over the responsibility to a staff member.
Alex suggested, “Let’s find out who the deceased is from the staff.”
Lucas and Paige nodded.
Lucas initiated a conversation with the staff, who eventually agreed to reveal the identity.
When the white fabric was unveiled, shock overcame them.
Even after Julian was taken away, they couldn’t shake off the impact.
Paige trembled at the thought of the deep cut on Julian’s throat. Alex took her cold hand and said, “Let’s go.” Exiting the crematorium, Lucas suggested, “We should stay here for a while to accompany Julian on his final journey.” Alex and Paige concurred. Lucas gripped the steering wheel tightly and remarked, “If there is only Julian, Reuben should be fine for the time being. Alex contemplated briefly.
“If Reuben is fine, there’s a good chance he might have switched sides.”
Lucas’ eyes widened in shock.
“How can that be possible? Reuben is very loyal! He wouldn’t do that!”
Alex glanced at him.
“What else is impossible now?”
At the hospital.
A nurse entered River’s room to change her dressing.
Seeing River with her back turned, the nurse said, “Ms.Healy, it’s time for your dressing.”
River did not respond.
Concerned, the nurse patted her shoulder.
“Suicide…”
Greta’s face turned ghastly pale as she muttered to herself in disbelief.Her knees buckled, and she staggered backward involuntarily before collapsing to the ground.
The three children hastily assisted in holding her up.
“Grandaunt Greta!”
“Go and call out to your mom now, quickly.Let her know that you’re here so she can hold on!”
Greta instructed the children, who nodded in response.
As they rushed to the door, the bodyguards blocked their path.
Tyler and Axel pushed against the bodyguards strenuously, allowing Liora to squeeze through.
She shouted, “Mommy! You must hold on! We’re in the next room, and we’re fine.
“Don’t abandon us…Daddy has already abandoned us, so don’t leave us.We don’t want to be orphans…Can you hear me, Mommy? You must hold on for us!”
Liora’s cries echoed through the corridor, eliciting sighs from the nurses.
The children, only five years old, were forced to mature beyond their age due to the unexpected turn of events.
River heard Liora’s voice as she was undergoing resuscitation.
Although she couldn’t make out the words, the cries reached her.
River thought, ‘How can this be real? Scott ordered his subordinates to take them…
I remember Scott telling me they’d be in the next room, but I don’t believe what he said.
I trusted him too much previously.
As a result, he killed the people I love the most, one after another.
“I’m too tired and don’t want to suffer anymore.I miss him so much.He must be in pain.I’m going to find him and be with him.I’m going to tell him that he is not alone” At Muricia. Scott gained control of MK’s branch company using the document he had made Draco sign.
After the negotiation, he walked out of the office and received a text message that caused his gaze to gradually turn cold.
He read the message from his bodyguard, feeling an uncontrollable panic in his chest.
Unnoticed, his grip over his phone tightened.
Elvira noticed Scott’s cold expression and asked, “What happened, Mr.Hendrix?”
Scott put away his phone.
“Prepare to head back to Cheasia.”
“As you wish,” Elvira replied.
Reuben trailed behind Scott, his eyes glistening at the mention of Cheasia.
His thoughts were not about River but the will in Scott’s possession.

Paige refused to believe that Reuben would betray Noah. She was certain that Reuben’s decision was influenced by something beyond his control.
Paige had a lot of trust in Reuben on this matter.
Lucas said, “We’re almost done with the matters here. When should we go back?” Alex turned to look at Paige.
Sensing Alex’s gaze, Paige turned away to avoid looking at him.
There was pain in Alex’s eyes. “Paige, I dT] “I told you that now is not the right time to talk about this,” Paige said softly.
