RISE OF THE HEIRS: Getting Rid of The Traitor 69
Arthur withdrew his hand quickly as he watched Jill repeatedly. Not only Arthur, Camellia, who had been smiling hopefully, also frowned in surprise."Are you kidding, Mrs Reynolds? Getting married tomorrow or the day after? I haven't even prepared anything after you rejected me. How am I going to work and prepare everything now?”Camellia looked down for a moment before finally looking at her mum, who was now shaking her head in disbelief. "Mum, I haven't even fully recovered yet. How can I possibly get married tomorrow or the day after? Weddings are the happiest moments and I don't want to lose them just because mum is rushing it."Arthur turned to Camellia and nodded in confirmation. "That's what I mean too, Mrs Reynolds."Jill swallowed, then chuckled. Her blissful gaze faded and was replaced with disgust. "Yesterday and the day before, you kept asking me to marry you off. And this time you're asking how you're going to solve everything alone? Are you trying to belittle me now?"Ar

"Welcome home, Mr Cobb!"Sarah O'dell and Emma Robbie's greeting must have taken Tom by surprise. He just smiled as he placed a bag of snacks on the table in front of the sofa. He also greeted some customers who make purchases.Nick just shook his head softly at the behaviour of his two colleagues. Not without reason. The two single women had won over Tom's manly demeanour. "Please understand, my two co-workers, sir. They are just going through puberty before disappointment sets in."Suddenly, Nick's words made the three visitors who were sitting with each of the JF Properties employees laugh to themselves. Meanwhile, Tom stood by the door, trying to be a greeter for the visitors who might come to visit.As the three visitors walked out after their purchase, Tom bowed before them to thank them for their trust. "Hope JF Properties bring you success."After that, Sarah quickly moved on, approaching Tom with her nose, trying to sniff out the unfamiliar scents.Being treated as such, Tom

"Didn't I mishear?" asked Tom to make sure. He stood up in a huff as Henry approached him from behind."I heard it directly from Camellia, Aland. I think since her head was hit, her evil behaviour is starting to diminish. She told me everything. But she's still not sure when the wedding will take place."Shannon's explanation certainly made Tom understand the confidence of Arthur who suddenly came to ask him to prepare a car as a gift. "I think I should send him a wonderful present.""Did you see, right? Arthur always has a hidden way to get what he wants. His strategies are too cunning, Aland. He will utilise any means for his own benefit. Not for the good of JF Printing."Henry, who was waiting behind Tom's back, was about to turn around when Tom glanced back. "Lemme call you back later, Ms Reynolds. I need to get something done."Tom quickly put down the phone when he saw Henry handing him the company tab."There's an additional request, Mr Cobb. More than eight. They're asking for

"Something is wrong, Ms Reynolds."Tom rose quickly from his chair. It was almost morning when Tom remembered to call Shannon after all night long of watching the furniture production without missing the procedures.He rubbed his nose furiously as he realised something was off. Fighting off his overwhelming sleepiness, he leaned back and watched the stars through the glass window in his office."There's something wrong here. After all, no one anybody wants the others to see their quarrel."Shannon, who was still closed up in bed, could not do much. She glanced at the clock that was still pointing to four in the morning while clearing her throat, adjusting her voice that was still hoarse because she had just woken up from a night's sleep."Didn't I tell you before? Because of her head injury, it's possible for Camellia to change for good in just a matter of nights. It doesn't hurt us anyway, does it? Maybe we have the advantage of keeping a close eye on their progress in making plans."

Shannon, who had fallen back asleep, suddenly woke up quickly. There were negative thoughts that suddenly filled her head that were still sleepy. Unwillingly, she got up and contacted someone. "Mr Camerun, I'm sorry if I interrupted your time. But if I may ask, did Aland contact you before?"Pete, who was also feeling anxious, woke up. He got up and tried to pay attention to the landline. "Is there something you're worried about, Ms Reynolds?"Shannon hesitated to say anything. But no matter what, she couldn't remain silent and wait to hear from Tom, who suddenly sounded hurried. Slowly, Shannon got up from the bed and paced restlessly."The last time he disconnected the phone, he sounded hurried, Mr Camerun. I think something has happened. Should I go over there to see his current condition?"Pete glanced at the clock and shook his head, rejecting Shannon's absurd order. "It's still too dark, Ms Reynolds. Lemme send someone over to have

Jill threw the wineglass in her hand quickly at Arthur. Her eyes were red with resentment when she heard the news that Tom had survived and Brown hadn't done his job properly."Is there no one else I can count on?"Arthur jumped backwards to get out of the way. His breath caught in his throat as he recalled the stakes that hadn't yet been raised by Jill, who was beginning to lose her mind."The police aren't continuing their investigation because there's firm evidence from the hidden cameras that Tom stabbed Lark in self-defence, Mrs Reynolds."Jill gave Arthur a sharp glance. She approached Arthur with wide strides. "I don't care and I don't want to know anything about it, Arthur! At least, if Brown dies, he won't be able to blackmail us! He won't make us go down with him."Arthur looked down and nodded in affirmation as he gazed out of the window of Jill Reynolds' luxurious room. "You're right. But doesn't that mean we can make Tom stop

"We should get going, Pete."Tom had just finished changing when Shannon suddenly walked in with a downcast look, then she glanced to the side as Tom's head nodded curiously.As for Pete, he quickly tidied up his laptop and all the files he had taken from JF Moulding in order to deliver the furniture that was ready to be transported by two large trucks.Shannon opened the door to the room wide enough for Tom to step in. She entered, nodding when Tom saw who had arrived."I heard you almost died, Cobb."Tom was not surprised by the arrival of Jill Reynolds, who wanted to check on him. He invited her to come in and sit on the sofa after Pete left with a lot of luggage."Not nearly dead, Mrs Reynolds. But getting up once again. Isn't that right?"Jill grinned, then glanced at Pete, who had left first after bowing to her. She looked at Tom, who was getting ready to go back to work in a cheap suit he'd picked up at the conven

"Do you want to kick me out, Aland?"Instead of being surprised by Shannon's stubborn refusal to leave for her own safety, Tom smiling. He rubbed the corner of Shannon's eyes that had to get wet and then touched her chin for a while."If you don't want to go anywhere and still want to accompany me, then you have to grow stronger than before, Ms Reynolds. This is only the beginning. And for them, there may never be a happy ending for us."Shannon blinked quickly, glancing up to keep her tears at bay. "Of course. I'll be stronger. We'll face this together. I'll show them that despite their bullying, we can still live happily."Pete, who was still there, smiled and raised his thumbs up to his chest as the couple turned to him. He grabbed the things that had been packed to take away.Tom got up with his hand, clutching Shannon tightly. He carried Shannon out of the hospital without any fear of death. Together with Pete, who bring back some im
