Seeing Xu Cheng not letting him go directly, but asking for help, Kyle's heart kept sinking.
Comparing his feelings with his own, if he were in Xu Cheng's position, he would never let go of such an enemy.
He could only hold on to a small hope in his heart, hoping that Xu Cheng would not dare to kill him, a direct blood descendant - according to the laws of the Violet family, killing a direct blood descendant was a felony and would result in death.
"What do you want from me?"
"Don't worry, I'll lend you more than a hundred kilograms of meat for just one use."
"..."
Xu Cheng untied Kyle and asked him to change into some clothes, then left the manor and drove to the villa.
Arriving at the villa, Xu Cheng asked: "If I take you as a hostage and ask the guards in the villa to put down their weapons, do you think it will work?"
Kyle suddenly became anxious: "No, these guards are my people in name, but they are actually assigned to me by Lucian. They only obey Lucian's orders."
Xu Cheng asked in surprise: "Aren't you collaborators? Why does it sound like you are just his subordinate?"
Kyle looked ashamed. At first, he really thought that he and Lucian were working together as equals, but later he realized that his strength was so far behind that he could barely even serve as a subordinate.
Xu Cheng thought for a while and could only change his mind: "Then take me in, to the place where Evelin and Lucian are negotiating, and then there will be nothing more to do with you, okay?"
What are you asking me for? Can I still say no?
Kyle had a bitter look on his face and could only watch Xu Cheng start the car and drive him towards the gate of the villa.
"Relax your expression so that others don't think you just lost your parents."
"..."
As the car approached the gate, it was stopped by the guards.
Seeing Kyle sitting in the passenger seat, a guard quickly came forward and asked doubtfully: "Master Kyle, what are you doing?"
While asking, he looked at Xu Cheng in the driver's seat with surprised eyes.
Didn't Master Kyle say he wouldn't come over tonight? Why did you come here at this time?
And he's still with this mixed-race. Doesn't he hate this guy the most?
The expression on Kyle's face has changed from bitterness to arrogance, with the sense of superiority of a direct blood descendant: "What are you asking? Open the door."
The guards have long been accustomed to Kyle's bossing around. Although they are all Lucian's subordinates, Kyle is at least nominally Lucian's collaborator and a direct blood descendant. The guards do not dare to offend him at all.
After the guard opened the door, the car entered the villa smoothly and stopped at the door.
Xu Cheng got out of the car on the passenger side with Kyle, then grabbed his arm tightly as if to support him, and the two of them entered the villa together.
There were also many armed guards guarding the villa. Seeing so many of his own people, Kyle wanted to cry out for help.
But Xu Cheng's gun was pressed against his back where the guards couldn't see it, and he grabbed his arm, preventing him from using his phantom ability.
The moment he opened his mouth to call for help, he would be shot dead by Xu Cheng, so Kyle, who cherished his life, did not dare to take the risk at all.
He could only maintain a arrogant expression, like a male peacock, leading Xu Cheng, his follower, towards the place where Evelin and Lucien were negotiating under the suspicious gazes of the guards.
…
When she entered the villa, the intuition she had developed over the years made Evelin feel a little strange.
However, Wayne had already prepared a backup plan. Out of trust in this subordinate who had worked hard for more than ten years and never made a mistake, Evelin suppressed the strangeness in her heart and continued to walk inside.
The negotiation took place in the conference room of the villa. The outside was guarded by Kyle's guards. At the same time, there were several guards who should belong to Lucian, sitting on the sofa not far away, looking here with unkind eyes.
A man who looked like a housekeeper came forward and said humbly: "Miss Evelin, for the sake of fairness, please leave all your guards outside."
Evelin had no objection, Daniel and the guards stayed outside, only Wayne, Ed, and Dinah followed her into the conference room.
As soon as he entered the door, he saw a long solid wood table in the room. Lucian was sitting on the long table with a cigar in his mouth.
He is a slightly stout middle-aged man who looks like a pampered wealthy businessman with an approachable smile on his face.
However, at this moment, his slightly chubby face looked obviously sad.
There were two people standing behind Lucian, a sexy female secretary, and a guard captain with a strong figure and fierce temperament.
Evelin simply sat down directly opposite Lucian. Dinah sat beside her curiously and said hello: "Uncle Lucian, good evening."
Although the blood relationship between the two parties has branched far away, they are still relatives of the same clan.
Seeing the junior saying hello, Lucien could only force out a smile: "It's Dinah. She's grown up now. She has time to play at her uncle's house."
Dinah responded obediently: "Okay."
In front of outsiders and unfamiliar people, she will maintain the elegance of a wealthy lady.
Evelin said coldly: "Mr. Lucian, there is no need to talk more, let's get started."
Lucian took off the cigar from his mouth and pointed at her: "Evelin, I am your elder after all, can't you be more polite to me?"
"When my family is in civil strife, people who wantonly embezzle my family's property have the nerve to call themselves elders?"
Evelin sneered: "Now I am sitting in front of you as a competitor. Are you also used to using your seniority to dominate others in the business world?"
Lucian was speechless by her rebuke, feeling secretly resentful in his heart.
Evelin reached back and Wayne immediately took out a contract from the briefcase he carried and handed it to her.
Evelin glanced at it, then placed the contract on the smooth table and pushed it hard towards Lucien: "This is the transfer contract I drafted for you, take a look."
Lucian picked up the contract and read it for a while. His chubby face soon turned the color of pig liver. He slammed the contract on the table and said, "Are you not leaving me any way to survive?"
Dinah was startled, but there was curiosity in her big eyes.
Does your sister always experience this kind of battle?
Evelin said slowly: "I have left you a pension, do you still want to ask for capital for a comeback?"
In the confrontation between the two sides in the business field, Evelin is conquering the city and winning a great victory.
Lucian is powerless, but he has the ability to self-destruct. Although he will lose everything, he can cause huge trouble to Evelin.
So there was this meeting - Evelin ceded some of the benefits that were about to be obtained, and Lucian made an honorable exit, leaving himself with some wealth.
After quarreling with Evelin, Lucian could only suppress his anger and threw the contract back: "I cannot accept such harsh conditions, otherwise I would rather die with you."
"I hope Mr. Lucian has a correct understanding of his abilities."
Evelin was very venomous: "You can only cause me a little trouble, but if we both die together, it's better not to say it and embarrass yourself."
However, she still picked up the contract, modified it a few times with a pen, and then threw it back.
The two sides just went back and forth, bickering, and constantly arguing and revising.
Dinah was curious at first, but then she just wanted to yawn.
She had no interest in these business matters, and her initial desire to follow him was just out of curiosity.
Because this Lucian was the biggest enemy of their family, and he took advantage of the civil strife in their family to add insult to injury.
The reason why her sister agreed to let her follow her was probably because she wanted her to see the fate of her enemies back then.
After a long debate, the two parties finally finalized a contract. Lucian transferred most of his property to Evelin and received a huge pension.
After signing the contract, the atmosphere in the conference room suddenly relaxed.
Evelin felt disgusted when she saw Lucian's fat face, and was about to say goodbye when she saw Lucian raise his hand and snap his fingers.
The side of the conference room opened, and a maid suddenly walked in, carrying a wine tray with a bottle of red wine and two glasses on it.
The maid opened the red wine, poured it into two glasses, and then brought it to Evelin and Lucian.
Lucien raised his glass, saluted Evelin, and sighed: "You are the most outstanding young man I have ever seen. Try to take over the position of patriarch."
It was as if he had put down the burden in his heart and left a blessing to Evelin as an elder.
But Evelin remained motionless. She glanced at Lucien with a strange look, then looked down at the wine glass, her face gradually became serious, and then she slowly stood up.
Everyone was stunned by Evelin's actions, not sure what she was going to do.
Evelin turned around, her eyes swept over Ed, who looked confused, and finally landed on Wayne.
Her eyes were filled with intense confusion.
Seeing such a look, Wayne froze and sweat gradually broke out on his forehead.
Although you have to confess sooner or later, there are two completely different situations between confessing when you are mentally prepared and being discovered in a hurry.
Fortunately, he has done everything he needs to do.
Suddenly there were several exclamations from outside, followed by the sounds of fighting, mixed with Daniel's loud shouts.
Ed's expression changed, and he subconsciously wanted to protect the young lady and leave. Then he felt a strong angina pectoris, which made his whole body numb. He took a few steps back and fell to the ground.
Dinah also felt dizzy, her whole body had no strength, and she couldn't even lift her arms.
Evelin was shaky, but still stood there with amazing perseverance, looking at Wayne with eyes that changed from confusion to heartache and anger.
"How am I sorry for you? Why did you do this?"
Wayne lowered his head and remained silent.
"Ha ha ha ha!"
Hearty laughter suddenly sounded.
Lucian laughed loudly, drank the red wine in his hand, and then let out a long breath, as if spitting out all the anger he had received during this period: "You are so smart, my niece, it's a shame that I have been acting for so long. , I didn’t expect that a small action can make you alert.”
In order to perform this scene, he patiently negotiated with Evelin for more than half an hour before successfully delivering the red wine to her.
Evelin slowly turned around and sat back on the chair, trying to maintain her sitting posture.
She lowered her head and glanced at the red wine in front of her, and suddenly said: "Wayne is the housekeeper and can interfere with the diet of the manor. He secretly poisoned us in the morning. Now we smell the volatile alcohol and induce the toxins in our bodies?"
Dinah's eyes widened in surprise, and she slowly turned her head to look at Wayne, who was standing behind without saying a word.
"Wayne...I'm going to kill you...ahhh!"
Ed's eyes were blood red and he was staring at Wayne. He tried to get up from the ground, but his hands and feet couldn't control his movements and he could only roar in vain.
Wayne still lowered his head and said nothing.
"Snap, snap, snap!"
Lucian clapped vigorously and looked at Evelin with admiration in his eyes: "Yes, I guessed it right away. Among the younger generation, the only one who can compare with you is Virgil."
He leaned back, changed into a comfortable position, and said energetically: "Since Wayne refuses to tell you, let me tell you straight away. The reason why he betrayed you is because he went to see the dungeon a month ago. Michael in."
Hearing the name Michael, even Ed, who was gritting his teeth and cursing Wayne, subconsciously stopped.
Michael, Evelyn and Dinah's uncle, the source of strife in their family ten years ago.
Evelin slowly turned back to look at Wayne: "So you are my uncle's person!"
"Yes, Wayne was a chess piece placed by Michael on your father's side. It's just that he lost before he had time to activate the chess piece."
Lucien continued to answer Evelin's doubts, breaking down her psychological defenses bit by bit. This was such a sense of accomplishment for him.
After all, he has been overwhelmed by this junior for this period of time, and he feels deeply humiliated and hated.
Because of his illness, he urgently sought medical treatment and went to the dungeon to meet Michael, only to learn from him such a secret that could turn the tables.
The confusion in Evelin's heart has completely dissipated, and she fully understands why Wayne betrayed her.
Because Wayne was the one left behind by his father, and he had worked conscientiously and never made a mistake for more than ten years, Evelin had unreserved trust in him.
But if he was the one installed by Michael, Evelin would let him retire early regardless of whether Wayne had any thoughts of betrayal.
In order to maintain his position, Wayne's only option is to stand on the opposite side of Evelyn.
"That's not all."
Evelin looked at Lucian: "If it's just because of this matter, I believe he is capable of handling it, and you must have promised him greater benefits, such as...let his children become direct blood descendants? But I have already He applied for the qualification for his eldest son, and he will become a direct blood descendant in two years."
Evelin has given Wayne enough wealth, status, and respect. The only one who can impress him is probably his descendants.
Lucian crossed his fingers and said proudly: "Have you forgotten, Wayne has three children?"
Evelin was startled for a moment, then took a long breath: "I lost."
The core members were instigated to rebel, and the result was that they were completely overturned. Even people like Lucien could feel proud in front of her.
Evelin has done her best, and the only thing she lost is that she doesn't know that Wayne is Michael.
A piece of crucial information caused the whole game to be lost.
Evelin leaned back on the chair and said weakly: "Lucian, if you break the rules like this, aren't you afraid of being punished by your superiors?"
The Violet family has stipulated that competition within the family must be fair and just, and extreme methods must not be used. There is a special set of hidden rules at work.
Acts including assassination, kidnapping, poisoning, violence, etc. are not allowed by the rules.
"Hahaha!"
Lucian laughed as if he heard a joke and lectured: "You are too young, my niece. Breaking the rules doesn't count as long as it is not discovered. Do you understand?"
Of course Evelin knew that she just wanted to say a few more words to delay time.
Wayne, who had lowered his head and said nothing, suddenly said: "Don't waste time, her reinforcements may already be on the way."
Evelin sat quietly, looking normal even if she was exposed.
Lucien's expression changed, and he hurriedly ordered the guard captain behind him: "Hurry and capture her, let's get out of here."
Before the guard captain could take action, the closed door of the conference room was suddenly pushed open.
Kyle walked in, followed by Xu Cheng.
He looked around and said with a smile: "Sorry, there's a traffic jam on the road."
There is only one chapter today. I have to go to the hospital to see a doctor in the afternoon and take good precautions. I hope I don’t get yang, because my body constitution is very stretched (╥﹏╥)!
