Sam huffed, “Even if he knew about it, it doesn't mean I did. That person knew of my intention to kill your parents.
So when your parents went for an interview, I received a message saying that their car broke down. The person
said they would lure your parents down that road and asked me to send my subordinates there quickly. That's all.”
Shane stayed silent.
Sam doesn't seem to know who the culprit was.
The only person who knows is Sean.
But why does Sean know?
A lot of questions crossed Shane's mind, but there were no answers to those questions.
Sam and Catherine could feel the tension emanating from Shane, so they remained silent.
After a long silence, Shane threatened, “I won't let you nor that person get away with it. I will find Grandpa's will.”
Sam's face paled and his fists were clenched tightly by his sides.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtShane didn't want to waste any more time there, so he turned and left.
When he reached the entrance, he instructed the bodyguards guarding the house, “Watch them closely. Inform me
if they make any moves.”
“Yes, sir,” the bodyguards answered in unison.
Shane then left in his car.
Those bodyguards were hired by him when he found out that Sam was the culprit. For the time being, they were
there to keep Sam and his family under house arrest.
Now that Sean had escaped, he must have Sam in his control. Or else it would all be for naught if he managed to
find his grandpa's will, but not Sam.
This was the reason why he needed to keep a close watch on Sam by putting him under house arrest.
“Darling, are you all right?” Catherine asked.
Sam rubbed his abdomen that was throbbing in pain and pushed Catherine away. “I didn't see you worry about me
a while ago. How pretentious.”
Guilt crossed Catherine's face. “That was because-”
“Enough. The reason doesn't matter. It's a fact that you weren't worried about me a while ago,” Sam interrupted
her.
Catherine pouted and fell silent.
Sam took a seat and glanced at the mess on the floor. “Seth's family has always been a pain in my ass.”
Ever since we're young, I had to grow up under Seth's shadow.
Because he was sickly when young, Mom and Dad always favored him. My friends and relatives also liked him
more. They all thought that he was smarter, more good-looking, and obedient than me.
Dad even named Seth as the Thompson Group successor.
What right does he have to be the successor when I'm the eldest son?
It was fine my parents had always favored him. But how could they appoint him as the successor to Thompson
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmGroup? Unwilling to accept such a prosperous notion, I challenged Dad about his decision, yet he said Seth was
better than me, and that Thompson Group could only achieve new heights if it's under Seth's management.
I felt I was treated unfairly. I mean, how could Dad say that Seth was better than me when he didn't even give me a
chance to prove myself? And so, I fought to steal Thompson Group for myself.
What I didn't expect was that when Seth and his wife passed away, not only did Dad not hand me the reins to the
company, he actually gave it to Seth's son, Shane instead!
Sam's eyes were filled with hatred as he thought about the past. “Despite being dead, that old-timer still manages
to spite me.”
“Exactly.” Catherine was furious as well. “Why didn't David destroy all the evidence all those years ago? Why did he
devise a will to restrain you?”
“Precisely. It's infuriating. But the good news is that the old-timer didn't tell Shane about the will's location as well,”
Sam replied.
Catherine was still worried. “What will happen if Shane finds the will? The only reason he's letting us be for now is
that he doesn't have any evidence. If he finds the will, we-”
“That's enough. Let's not overthink this. I will find the will before him. As for you, I need you to call Sean and ask
him about his plan. Why the hell did he tell Shane about the other culprit?” Sam irritably gestured.
