Chapter 1368The old man’s voice was tired but domineering.Then the journalists and onlookers made a way for the man...Yael wheeled Dracon wobbly through the crowd,“Grandpa?” Catelyn and Cedrick turned to the old man.Yael wheeled Dracon up to Catelyn and Cedrick. Yael waved his hand resignedly, “I tried to persuade Grandpa Mason into resting at home. But he insisted on coming to see who stirred so much trouble for our family.”Sofia’s eyes gleamed with anger as she saw Dracon.“It’s you! You’re still alive!”Though Dracon didn’t receive chemo, he looked strained and weary due to cancer.He couldn’t fall asleep due to the severe pain.His eyes were sunken deep into their sockets. Also, there were dark circles beneath his eyes.Looking at Sofia, who appeared to be so arrogant, Dracon sneered, “How could I die before you, you wicked woman! Ced, don’t believe her. Your parents always loved each other!”Catelyn conjectured that there was an inside story and thought it was an
Chapter 1369Draco had helped Sofia many times, but nothing could interfere with Desmond and Daphne. In order to get rid of Draco's control, Desmond went to increasingly desperate lengths when he went on missions, and he got promoted quickly. However, his injuries became increasingly worse after he came back from each mission... One time, Desmond almost got himself killed! At that time, Daphne was pregnant with Desmond's child. She could no longer bear the fear of losing Desmond at any moment, so she asked Desmond about their future... Draco didn't want his son to be killed, so he made a deal with Desmond that he would allow him to marry Daphne as long as Desmond quit the army and came home to undertake the family business.Finally, Desmond and Daphne returned to the Mason family. Although Draco was unhappy with Daphne, he accepted her. The woman, after all, was carrying his grandchild... The child was Cedrick. Desmond was always worried that Cedrick would inherit t
Chapter 1370"If I were Cedrick's father, I wouldn't love you either!"By the way, what's wrong with you? Why did you attack everyone you met? You lived with Mr. Swale for so many years. I wonder if he has been affected by you. I'm laughing my ass off..."Catelyn was speechless. She never knew that Yael could be so sharp-tongued.He was as noisy as a thousand ducks.He kept speaking, and Sofia did not even have a chance to retort.Sofia was furious.Countless beams of limelight shot over, and countless debtors surged toward her.Some were waiting to see Waylon in trouble, and some were urging Sofia to pay back the money...Some wanted to find scandals about her.Everyone seemed to want to swallow her up with a wide mouth.Sofia suddenly couldn't take it and began to break down.For years, she had no children or other blood relatives. Only Waylon was by her side, but she didn't love him.She lived just to get back at the Mason family.Desmond was dead, yet he had a son and
Chapter 1371Sofia’s move was indeed vicious.Lots of journalists recorded the scene for reports.Besides, the personage held by Trevor was the Mason Group’s staff.Without an appropriate approach, the staff might be killed and this scandal would affect Cedrick’s prestige.Instead of being panic, Catelyn took a deep breath and tried to mediate with Sofia.“You’re deeply nuts! The Mason family and I are your targets. Well, here’s a suggestion: You free him. And I'll prepare a helicopter and money for you to leave Sapphire City. What do you think?”“I’m not a fool! What should I do if you tampered with the helicopter?” Sofia sneered.Cedrick squinted and hit dial secretly.He had asked Eason to arrange a sniper.Trevor, in fact, was the target of the sniper.Trevor, an excellent killer, used to be a mercenary. Cedrick had told Eason that the sniper could fire at Trevor without instructions if Trevor threatened his and Catelyn’s lives.And he would deal with that as long as Tre
Chapter 1372Suddenly, the hidden sniper and the police marksman shoot at Trevor and Sofia simultaneously."Watch out!" A beam of white light flashed through Waylon's eyes.He felt familiar and knew that the light was from a reflector. Without hesitation, he threw himself forward and protected Sofia subconsciously...The bullet embedded itself in Waylon's body. Sofia's face was splashed with his blood.Someone shouted among the crowd, "Save the hostage and the mayor!" Countless police officers seized the chance to rush over.The surrounding people and reporters were shocked by the shots. They screamed and fled in all directions.The scene was in chaos, but Trevor and Sofia were still subdued by police officers at the same time.Trevor was shot in the chest. He lay prone with his face clung to the floor. He panted heavily. Sofia was pressed down to the ground by Waylon. Waylon was shot in the back, and the bullet passed through his body...He covered the penetrated wound on the
Chapter 1373It would be too easy on Sofia if they just killed her. Sofia probably had expected the consequence after she lost the game, so she was so nervous. Waylon went to the hospital. Trevor got shot, and Ralph was good for nothing... When Sofia went to jail, no one could protect her. ... Sofia was now like an infamous rat, and Waylon was involved by her. Sofia's nasty history was dug out. Even though Waylon was not involved in Sofia's business, Sofia used her position as Waylon's wife to make huge profits for foreign consortiums, which ruined Waylon's career.That day, Old Madam Atherton hosted one of Lanchester's politicians. The next day, Waylon was suspended from his post, and another new mayor took the office. Although Sofia had not told where she kept Catelyn’s mother’s video and photos, Catelyn was not worried. On one hand, Sofia was then at the police station. It was difficult for her to contact others. On the other hand, with Sofia's scheming,
Chapter 1374In the hospital.Cedrick and Catelyn arrived in the corridor just as the attending doctor came out of the ward.The atmosphere was heavy.Yael usually took care of Draco at the Mason Chateau.Yael knew best about Draco's health condition."Mr. And Mrs. Mason, Elder Mason is gravely ill. Please prepare yourselves..."Catelyn did not expect that Draco, who went to the door of the Mason Group in high spirits to reveal Sofia's conspiracy in the morning, would fall ill and be sent to the hospital in a few hours. Now the doctor even told them he was critically ill.Catelyn asked Yael, "Is there no cure? Didn't you say before that Grandpa's condition was under control?"Yael shrugged his shoulders, full of helplessness. "Elder Mason is very stubborn. He does not want an operation. He said that he wanted to die decently. He does not want to lose his hair because of chemotherapy treatment. I can only comply with his request."Cedrick grabbed Yael's collar, his eyes gloomy
Chapter 1375Although Cedrick and Catelyn had just seen Draco in the morning, they still felt that a long time had passed when they looked at the white-haired Draco on the hospital bed. Old and skinny, Draco was wearing loose hospital clothes and an oxygen mask. As he breathed, a faint white mist appeared and then condensed on the oxygen mask, so his face disappeared and then reappeared, which seemed to symbolize that his life was coming to an end. Draco heard someone coming in, so he struggled to open his eyes. He moved his lips, wanting to say something, but he was so weak that he could only hum faintly, a far cry from the man he had been this morning!"Grandpa..." Cedrick held Draco’s hand. He got a little choked up, and his eyes turned red. Catelyn could not help but shed tears, which slid down her cheeks. Miles and Ollie gathered around their great-grandpa. They didn’t know what death was, but they saw their great-grandfather felt very uncomfortable, so they called the
