Chapter 264: Chapter 264
When Madison saw the video, her face turned pale with fright. There was Chase and her in the video. She looked at Ethan in disbelief. "Where did you get this!!"
Ethan chuckled and thought to himself, "Where did I get this? That is a good question!"
When Chase wielded the knife at Alfred's house, Ethan happened to be at the scene.
It was just that Chase had asked Henry to wipe off his memory.
Henry had therefore used the acupuncture techniques to trigger a series of reactions in Ethan's brain and cause a temporary memory loss.
But Henry's acupuncture skills were clearly not effective.
the previous few days, Ethan had suffered from splitting headaches that even the doctors couldn't cure him.
There was a night after he fell asleep, he started to have
flashbacks of memory on what happened that day.
All he saw was blood everywhere. It was definitely a gruesome scene.
It was all so frightening that he awoke from his sleep.
He tried to recall the random bits and pieces of flashbacks. The more he remembered it, the more he shuddered in fear.
Ethan managed to track down a few old CCTVS located halfway up the mountain after pulling some strings before he got hold of some footage.
The footage was enough to take down that sembag, Chase forever!
At that moment. Ethan's first thought was to use this video to blackmail Chase.
But after thinking about it, he brushed aside the idea.
That sc mbag would never have yielded. If Ethan threatened him, Ethan might end up losing his own life instead.
Moreover, even if he managed to take down this brat, it would only give him a short-lived pleasure.
Didn't Chase always listen to Bella?
Bella was on the other hand very close to Madison.
He pondered on the possibility of using their relationship to take advantage of Bella.
He could perhaps use this tactic to defeat Chase indirectly and made him suffer until he was at his wit's end.
On top of it, he could also reap some benefits from Bella along the way!
She held great authority after all!
"Don't worry about where this comes from but I assure you that it is unedited footage. Madison, oh, Madison, I never thought you'd do something so brutal with that sembag. Think about it, if I disclose this footage to the media, then the best-case scenario for you and your brother-in-law is that you both will spend your entire life in prison. Ethan stated triumphantly.
Part of his memory was still not intact. In fact, he had no recollection of who else was at the crime scene or what actually took place.
However, this video was enough.
Madison was shaking like a leaf at this moment. Her tone immediately softened, "No, Ethan, you can't disclose this video. It will ruin Chase. I beg you, seeing how we're family, please destroy the footage, and I'll repay you in my own ways in the future.
At that moment, Madison only had Chase in mind. It didn't cross her mind at all that she would also be punished.
Seeing that Madison was beseeching him, Ethan burst into laughter. Oh, he felt so good! It felt amazing!
"I will not disclose this video for the time being, but that depends on how you behave. If you listen to me, I may destroy it when I'm in a good mood, Ethan said as though he was a king. On the couch, he swirled the glass of wine in his hand.
God knew how conflicted Madison was at this time. She could only ask bitterly, "What do you want me to do?"
"Well, first, it seems like Grandma is planning to have a family meeting tomorrow. I want you to tell Bella that I will chair tomorrow's meeting and she will do as per my instructions!" Ethan demanded bluntly.
Madison's face became stiff. "No, Bella shouldn't be dragged into this!"
Then, please leave. Ethan wasn't up for a negotiation.
Madison's eyes turned moist and her tone softened again, "No, Ethan. I beg you. I can promise you anything except this However, Ethan just turned away, not giving her another glance.
In the end, Madison chose to give in. "Okay, you have my word, but you have to live up to the end of your promise."
Madison's heart had already shattered into a thousand pieces at this moment.
"Chase, what should I do now?" she thought.
Ethan sneered. Then let's keep our promises. As long as Bella listens to me tomorrow, I'll destroy the footage."
After Madison left Ethan's house, she felt as though her soul was leaving her body.
After a long hesitation, she asked Bella out.
She gulped down lots of wine, struggling to think of a way to tell Bella about her promise with Ethan.
It was till late that night, Madison was completely wasted and Bella was about to send her back home.
Madison suddenly burst into tears and knelt down in front of Bella. "Bella, Chase and I are in trouble, you must help us Bella was shocked, she quickly helped Madison up.
But Madison seemed to be glued to the ground.
All she did was to cry non-stop.
Guilt cut through her heart like a knife.
The only reason why Chase had committed the murder was that Madison was the one who had asked Bella out to go shopping that day, which led to her being kidnapped.
It all started with her, and she had dragged Chase into it.
It was her fault again this time. She did not want to bring Bella into it.
However, Madison had to think of the big picture.
If the video was released, Chase would be doomed.
"Bella, can I ask you for a favor? We're going to have a family meeting tomorrow....
Madison told Bella about Ethan's request.
Bella was stunned. She demanded more details but Madison refused to tell more.
How could Madison tell Bella that Chase had murdered someone?!
In the end, Bella had to agree to Madison's request.
The next day, Bella was sound asleep when she was suddenly awakened by her phone.
She picked up the phone and saw that it was Ethan.
She immediately answered the call, "Ethan, what did you do to Madison?"
Ethan cackled. "Didn't she tell you? Oh yeah, I'm sure she wouldn't have. You don't need to worry about that. I'm just calling you on Grandma's behalf, come over now.
"Oh, by the way, bring along that se mbag of yours. Doesn't he like to follow you around? Hahaha." Ethan made that additional remark before hanging up.
Bella's face turned pale; she could tell something was going to happen at Rosaline's house that day.
She quickly woke Chase up and left for Rosaline's house.
As soon as they entered the house, Chase saw Ethan looking at him slyly. There was an unspeakable jest in his eyes.
As for Madison, she was sitting in a corner looking very guilty and apologetic.
Chase and Bella walked to the round table and sat down. Bella just glared at Ethan without saying a word.
The house went into a complete silence.
Ethan spoke at that moment.
There was arrogance in his words. "Bella, can I make a request before the meeting begins?"
Bella knew that he was plotting something, but she had given her words to Madison. She said while frowning. "If you have something to say, Say it. I'll agree to it no matter what."
Madison could feel her heart drumming inside. She didn't know what Ethan would want.
Ethan suddenly rose from his seat and sat in the seat that belonged to the Head of the Song family. He declared in a steady and condescending tone, "How about I become the Head of the Song family from today onwards?"
