John’s meeting had just ended. He went back to his office and thought about how his family had sent Brittany a coffin.
He hated her immensely, even though she was his sister-in-law.
Back when William was still alive, Brittany was second-in-charge of the sales and finances of Rockefeller Group. It was extremely difficult to pull tricks behind her back when he was working under her.
She had scolded him multiple times for tampering with documents, and humiliating him. He had always wanted to hire some men to kidnap her and humiliate her twice as much as she did to him.
However, due to a meeting with the directors, it was regretful that he had to miss out on a great show.
He immediately called his son, yet Spark didn’t pick up.
‘This little brat, how dare he ignore my calls? Is he having too good of a time insulting that b*tch? Hence why he couldn’t hear his phone ring?’
Just then, Pepper walked into the office, and she had on an elegant black uniform, with a pair of heels. She was holding a cup of fresh ground Brazilian coffee.
“Mr. Rockefeller, your coffee…”
John, however, didn’t take the coffee. Instead, he wrapped his arms around her, pressing her body against his. “Sparky bought a coffin to send off that useless pest, Alex. Why don’t we go over and check it out?”
Pepper smiled. “To Brittany’s? Sure!”
Brittany used to be her boss’ wife, hence Pepper had to be at her service back then. Since she could insult her openly now, she was overjoyed to join in the fun.
Just as the two were preparing to leave, Noah called John.
“John, please come back home quickly! Things are bad!”
“Huh? What could possibly go wrong back home?”
“Ugh, just come back now! Quickly!”
Noah sounded like a mess, he didn’t even explain anything in the call.
Yet John didn’t care about that at all. He knew that his second brother had always been a talentless bloke and would freak out over the smallest things. Hence, Noah had no clue that William was not blood-related to them.
“He wants you home?” Pepper smiled.
“To hell with it! Noah has always been a wimp, we’ll just go enjoy the show.”
John and Pepper headed straight for Maple Villa. With his status, he was easily let in. Upon reaching Alex’s villa, however, there wasn’t a single person in sight.
Just then, Noah called again. “John, where are you?! Why aren’t you back yet?”
John raged at his persistence. “What’s up with you? You may have a ton of free time, but I’m a busy man.”
Noah fumbled over his words hastily, “John, please, you have to come back home now, no matter how busy you are. Both your son and wife are in a coffin, and my wife and daughter are in there too.”
“What? My son died?!”
He couldn’t be bothered even if Olivia fell into a ditch and died.
“Not yet. But if you don t come home now, then things would be much worse. Both Alex and Brittany are here.”
“Alex? Isn’t he dead already?”
“No! He’s well and alive!”
‘Oh f*ck!’
John felt as if his heart had dropped into his stomach after the call ended. It was as if he was about to hook up with an ethereal beauty and even with the additional pills to heat things up, he realized that the beauty was a trap all along.
“Alex isn’t dead yet?”
Pepper’s eyes lit up. She didn’t seem disappointed at all but instead looked extremely delighted.
“Doesn’t that mean that the Ancient Medicine is still with him?”
He hated her immensely, even though she was his sister-in-law.
