Chapter 410: Chapter 410

Even though Landon Lawson had already walked out of the villa, he could still hear the laughter coming from behind...

Listening to the laughter mixed with crying, full of self-reproach, Landon’s eyes gradually turned bleak...

This family is completely ruined now... However, he was helpless; today, Landon had said everything he wanted to say, and whatever decision he made from now on was his choice. But no matter his decision, Landon would not let this go...

Some people will have to pay the price in the end...

In the dark room, there was an occasional eerie creaking sound, and the blower was making whooshing noises, everything was so bizarre.

"Cough, cough, cough!"

A sudden coughing sound echoed in the dark room, making the already eerie room even more chilling.

Yet it was this coughing sound that drew the man outside into the room.

The man pushed the door open vigorously, and upon seeing the old man lying inside, his eyes instantly welled up.

"Old Mr. Shawcross... you finally woke up." A man in his twenties looked at the elderly man before him, tears brimming in his eyes. He reached out his hand, vigorously wiping the tears from his face, which was full of surprise and resentment...

Supported by the man, the old man slowly sat up.

"Caleb Shawcross... where are we now?"

"We are in a village in the countryside," Caleb said, taking a long moment to stop the tears on his face.

The old man surveyed his surroundings and realized it was a simple wooden house, a faint confusion in his eyes: "Aren’t we supposed to be at home now? How did we end up here... I never thought I’d actually survive."

There was a hint of melancholy in the old man’s voice, as if surviving was a miracle to him.

Caleb, choking with sobs, looked at the old man before him. He was a servant of the Shawcross Family, having grown up in an orphanage. If not for the old man, he might have died long ago. He treated the old man like his own grandfather, and even when the family was in turmoil, he never betrayed him.

When he learned the old man was imprisoned, he exhausted all efforts to rescue him... But the guards were too strict, and several attempts failed. In the end, suspicion was cast upon him, forcing him to escape from the family with great difficulty... He had thought the old man was doomed and was contemplating how to avenge him, when one day, he suddenly received a phone call... Yet now the old man was standing right before him.

"To save your life... the Second Young Master went too far. I never thought he would really harm you. It was only because that doctor finally had a pang of conscience and called me at the critical moment that I had the chance to rescue you." Caleb reported all the information he had received to the old man.

Old Mr. Shawcross’s lips curved into a smile of helplessness; he never imagined his own son would actually harm him... Such ruthlessness, such malice... Is this really the son he fathered, his own flesh and blood?

In that moment, he wondered if he had been living in denial all these years, to deserve such retribution...

Seeing the helpless smile at the old man’s lips, Caleb gently wiped the tears from his face and said with a choked voice, "It’s truly great to see you awake now; I thought... I’d never see you again."

The more he spoke, the more choked his voice became, and his eyes filled with more and more tears...

The old man, seeing him in such a pitiful state, gently laughed: "Am I not already awake? You don’t need to worry anymore."

There was a faint smile on the old man’s lips, and Caleb vigorously nodded, his eyes filled with intense determination: "Now that you’ve survived this ordeal, you can definitely stop the Second Young Master..."

"It’s really due to old age; I never imagined I couldn’t even evade his small tricks..." A faint helpless smile crossed the old man’s lips, but his pupils were soon filled with intense hatred. Even though that was his son, what did it matter? If he could commit patricide, there was nothing he couldn’t do.

A dangerous figure like him is a latent danger to society, and there was no way he would allow the Shawcross Family to fall into the hands of such a ruthless and unfeeling person.

But then, considering his current situation, he shook his head helplessly: "You can see the state I’m in now; there’s absolutely nothing I can do. I can’t stop him; his ambitions are too vast, and he could even bring the entire family to ruin."

There was a hint of helplessness in the old man’s eyes; even though he wasn’t dead and was awake now, so what? The entire family was already under that man’s control... Every time he thought of it, his pupils filled with a sense of desolation...

Caleb looked at the disconsolate old man and quickly said, "There’s still me by your side; just give the order, and I will do my utmost to fulfill it. After all, without you then, there would be no me now..."

Seeing the loyal Caleb, the old man’s lips finally formed a comforting smile, never expecting that his kindness back then would lead to such karma...

"How is his matter progressing now?"

"I’ve been probing for information all these days, and I heard it’s already started." Caleb shared everything he knew with the old man, and the latter’s eyes gradually grew profound, shaking his head helplessly.

"In the end, I still couldn’t stop him..." Get full chapters from novelꞁire.net

Years ago, when he realized Caleb wanted to act against this business, he had always tried to stop him, and the matter was put off for years, only to be cornered by the man with drugs... It took him years to gradually control the entire family, as his confidants were slowly removed by the man... Whenever he thought of this, he felt a sense of helplessness, wondering how he ended up fathering such an ungrateful, heartless son.

This business venture wasn’t easily manageable; once failed, the whole family would be implicated, especially given his ruthlessness, which was completely at odds with the family’s way of conducting business...

Moreover, the old man had realized the man’s terrifying nature long ago.

The sudden death of the eldest son was highly suspicious, and eventually, as things became more apparent, and just when he was about to unearth the truth, the man acted against him...
