Chapter 1165 – An Unexpected Piece of Intel
*****Honey’s eyes gleamed viciously as she crossed her arms, glaring darkly, hatefully, and fiercely at the old man.Mason… never one to miss an opportunity to kick someone when they were already on the ground, instantly nodded his head vigorously, appearing as if Honey had just delivered the speech of the century.“Exactly,” he added without hesitation, his tone laced with scorn. “You’ve always been greedy and selfish anyway, so why pretend now? For once in your life, you can actually be useful.”“Take the blame, absorb the fallout, and maybe… just maybe the rest of us can still survive this mess.”The words came out with frightening ease, as if suggesting the elderly patriarch sacrifice himself was no more complicated than asking someone to pass the salt at dinner.Nico, who had been silent for a moment, finally spoke as well.Unlike the explosive fury of the younger ones, his voice carried a colder, quieter ruthlessness that somehow made his betrayal feel even heavier.“Fa
Chapter 1164 – Throwing the Patriarch Under the Bus III
*****He had brought the scheme he had been cooking for years forward, all for what… Mason’s future and that of his descendants.Everything he had done… every single thing had been for them, yet the very first time true danger appeared…They didn’t hesitate even for a second. They had thrown him out like trash.Meanwhile, Grace and her parents… the three people he had always treated worse than enemies…The three he had tormented for years… because they weren’t his blood, whom he had deprived of their right, punished unjustly, and repeatedly allowed his own descendants to take what belonged to them, had never once dared to meet his gaze with open defiance.Never once had they tried to use him as a scapegoat, let alone screamed accusations at himBut these… these spoiled, greedy descendants he had protected like treasures, didn’t even hesitate a bit to point at him like he was a criminal.Realizing this, the elderly patriarch’s eyes slowly reddened, a bitter, suffocating emotion
Chapter 1163 – Throwing the Patriarch Under the Bus II
*****“Father… this really is your fault.”The words landed like a hammer, making the elderly patriarch freeze. His entire body went rigid, as if lightning had just struck him.For a brief moment that felt like an eternity, he didn’t even react.Then, slowly and almost mechanically, he turned his head toward his son, his hand trembling as it lifted unsteadily… pointing at Nico.“Even… even you?” he stuttered.His mouth hung open in disbelief, his eyes wide with shock that bordered on heartbreak.But before Nico could respond…“Did he lie?!!!”Three furious voices exploded simultaneously.Mason, Honey, and their mothers.All of them glared at the old man like a pack of wolves that had suddenly smelled blood… their expressions vicious, cold, and merciless.“You are the one responsible for this mess!” Honey snapped, her voice shrill with rage and ferocity.“So obviously you should be the one to take responsibility!” Mason added fiercely.His mother folded her arms and sneer
Chapter 1162 – Throwing the Patriarch Under the Bus
*****Subconsciously, every head snapped toward the speaker… and even the elderly patriarch jolted.It came from Honey, who was still seated between her parents.But this time, she looked nothing like the doting granddaughter who had always clung to the patriarch’s arm with sugary affection, constantly acting spoilt with him… no.Right now, her eyes burned with pure venom as she glared fiercely at the Patriarch… giving him such a look so murderous that it would have killed him a thousand times over if looks could kill.“This was all your fault!” she snarled again, her voice trembling with rage as she pointed a badly shaking finger directly at the old man.And hearing him… “Huh?”The elderly patriarch blinked, thunderstruck.However, before he could make sense of this…“Yes! This was on you!”Another voice cut him off like a knife, sharper, colder, more vicious, and more aggressive.This time, it was Mason… the patriarch’s favorite grandson, the boy he had defended countless
Chapter 1161 – We’re Going to Suffer… Badly
*****Earlier that morning, the elderly patriarch had sincerely been concerned, wondering where the unsettling sense of impending danger had come from.He had sat there for a long time, silently turning possibilities over in his mind, trying to trace the origin of the dread that had crawled at his nerve, but no matter how much he searched, nothing concrete surfaced.Eventually, he had shaken his head with a tired sigh, muttering to himself that old age had finally begun playing tricks on his mind.‘I’m most likely just being paranoid,’ he had told himself, and like that, he had forced the unease aside.But now…The elderly patriarch sat on the ground atop the podium, the massive room feeling colder than a graveyard, facing people whose faces were filled with anxiety, fear, and despair, none of them having any idea what fate had in store for them.Without even realizing it, a bitter taste filled the old man’s mouth.‘If only I had listened to that instinct,’ he thought to himse
Chapter 1160 – The Orien Patriarch’s Regret
*****And finally… inside the patriarch’s mansion.The atmosphere there was even worse.If the rest of the estate felt like a prison awaiting invasion, the patriarch’s residence felt like the final chamber before a royal execution.Normally, the elderly patriarch would be seated proudly in his massive throne-like chair, towering above everyone like a ruler presiding over his kingdom.But right now…He wasn’t sitting on the chair… not even close.Instead, he sat directly on the podium beneath it… where the chair always sat, as a symbol of authority.Yes.The patriarch himself had slumped down onto the cold floor beside it, his head lowered.Right now, his once dignified posture had completely collapsed, while his complexion had turned ashen.The proud aura he once radiated had vanished so thoroughly that he now looked like a defeated old man who had lost everything.Not far from him, Nico, Nico’s wife, Mason, and Honey huddled together like terrified refugees.The four of
