The Daughter-In-Law’S Son-In-Law Chapter 4079
by“He’s coming!”
In a manor that was luxurious but full of power and intrigue, Temu Cihua stood in the yard and stayed awake all night, thinking about the words of the woman in the house.
Three simple words, but they filled his heart with endless worry and uneasiness.
At the same time, Scarlett was standing alone on the rooftop of the manor, her figure looking a little lonely in the cold light of the morning sun.
The cold wind was like a knife, cutting the corners of her clothes and hair wantonly, but she seemed not to notice it, just staring blankly into the distance, her eyes empty and confused.
News came one after another like a raging tide, and every impact set off a turbulent wave in her heart.
The old lady’s hasty escape, the old lady’s move to join the Amber Group, and then Steve and others were killed in the sudden explosion.
The nine elders of the Amber Group also failed to escape their fate and were ruthlessly slaughtered.
Each incident after another made Scarlett feel as if she was in a ridiculous nightmare from which she could not extricate herself.
Her heart was filled with deep shock, and she finally fell into a long silence.
With her hands trembling slightly, she picked up a bottle of whiskey and filled herself a glass.
The amber liquid swayed gently in the cup, just like her unsteady mood at the moment.
Scarlett threw her head back and took a big gulp of whiskey down her throat.
The spicy feeling spread from the tip of her tongue to the entire mouth, and then burned all the way into her stomach, but it still couldn’t dispel the haze in her heart.
At this moment, a white shadow suddenly appeared next to her.
She was wearing a pure white dress, fluttering gently in the cold wind, and her voice was as gentle as the breeze blowing over the strings of a piano:
“Did you suddenly feel that Mark is scarier than you imagined?”
“Did you suddenly feel that your choice to cooperate with Mark was tantamount to seeking the skin of a tiger?”
A slight smile appeared at the corner of the woman’s mouth, “Do you suddenly feel that you don’t have much confidence in killing Mark and the others in the future and taking control of the Boston family alone?”
“Ahem!”
When Scarlett heard this, she coughed suddenly, and a trace of panic flashed across her face.
She subconsciously glanced around quickly, as if there were countless pairs of prying eyes hidden in the shadows around her.
With a hint of nervousness and uneasiness in her voice, she whispered: “Don’t talk nonsense, I don’t have such thoughts…”
The woman in white seemed to have already understood Scarlett’s inner fears and worries. She still maintained the indifferent smile on her face and said softly:
“Don’t worry, Ye Fan and Asna have left Boston Manor!”
“Stanney is currently holding a meeting with his nephews who have taken refuge.”
“The roof of this building is surrounded by my people, so no third person will know about your conversation.”
“We have cooperated for so many days. I have killed so many people for you and made so many achievements. Our interests have already been linked together. How could I harm you?”
She stared deeply at Scarlett, with a hint of expectation in her eyes: “What I long for now is to know what you think!”
Scarlett let out a long breath, as if she wanted to spit out all the troubles in her heart.
She smiled bitterly and said: “You want to know what I think? What thoughts can I have…”
The woman in white’s eyes slowly swept across Scarlett’s face, and the corners of her mouth curved into a playful arc:
“You have never been a master who is willing to live under others and depend on others.”
“Deep in your heart, how can you be willing to be a puppet all the time and let others control your destiny?”
“What you yearn for is to be the head of the Boston family who keeps his word and controls the overall situation.”
“You chose to cooperate with Stannie and Ye Fan because you wanted to use their bargaining chips and strength to help you get closer to the center of power quickly and effectively.”
“In fact, you did rely on their power to become one of the two most powerful people in the Boston family.”
“According to your plan, after you stabilize your position and win over people’s hearts, you will slowly take away Stannie’s power and become the real head of the Boston family!”
“If Stannie and Ye Fan block you or confront you, you don’t mind using our power to eradicate them!”
“It’s just that you didn’t expect that Ye Fan’s abilities are far beyond your imagination!”
“Not only did he easily help Stannie and you seize the power of the Boston family, he also used the old lady’s escape to kill Steve cleanly.”
“Then, he wiped out the nine elders of the Amber Group with overwhelming force!”
“Overnight, both the Boston family and the Amber Group have undergone earth-shaking changes!”
The woman in white stared straight at Scarlett, piercing her heart mercilessly, “You are afraid of Ye Fan’s ability to turn his hands into clouds and rain…”
Scarlett’s face changed slightly, and a trace of imperceptible panic flashed in her eyes, but she still stubbornly retorted: “What am I afraid of?”
But the woman in white didn’t flinch, pressing forward step by step, pointing straight into Scarlett’s heart:
“You’re afraid that you won’t be able to suppress Ye Fan and the others in the future!”
She landed loudly: “You are afraid that you will be a puppet for the rest of your life! You are even more afraid that if you give it a try, you will end up destroying yourself!”
“You!”
Scarlett wanted to deny it, but when the words came to her lips, she felt powerless and pale.
On the one hand, the other party did hit her point, and any further argument would be in vain.
On the other hand, the two parties have been cooperating for a long time and have already understood each other’s thoughts. There is no longer much meaning in hiding their true thoughts.
After a moment of silence, Scarlett sighed deeply, her voice full of helplessness and frustration:
“Although I don’t want to admit it, Mark is indeed so powerful that it scares me!”
“At first, when William discovered his fake death, I didn’t think there was anything special about him!”
“He transferred tens of billions of debts to me, and I just thought he was good at some heretical means!”
“Even if he killed Lawrence, incited the two families to go to war, and teamed up with me to fight back against the old lady, I think he was just lucky and knew how to use his strength to fight.”
“Even if he supports Stannie and becomes the current head of the family, I still naively think that I am still capable of dealing with him.”
“As long as I control all the resources of the Boston family, coupled with your power, I will definitely be able to trample Ye Fan and Stannie under my feet and take sole control!”
“But Steve was killed in a bomb blast by an old lady who was on the run. This incident was like a heavy hammer that woke me up hard.”
“A behemoth like Steve, who is making waves in the business world, was easily dealt with by Mark with an old lady who was on the run!”
“Then Ye Fan wiped out the nine elders so quickly.”
“I have carefully deduced it many times. Even if I could mobilize all the resources of the Boston family, it would never be possible to achieve such a brilliant result!”
“Besides, I still don’t understand how Mark actually killed Steve!”
“With Steve’s cautiousness and dominance, he will definitely conduct a thorough inspection of the old lady before allowing her to get close to him.”
“I don’t know what can avoid such strict inspection by the Amber Group, let alone why the old lady approached Steve with explosives without realizing it!”
“So, I deeply feel the huge gap between myself and Mark!”
“As long as I go against him in the future, I’m afraid I won’t even know how I died!”
Scarlett took another sip of whiskey to suppress the frustration of not being able to do what she wanted: “This also means that I’m afraid I will have to be a puppet for the rest of my life!”
Once, she was filled with pride and confidence, thinking that she could compete with the tiger in this game of power.
She was even more convinced that with the help of the woman in white, when the time was right, she could strike back and kill Ye Fan and others.
But now reality has dealt her a heavy blow, causing the pride in her heart to collapse instantly, leaving only endless loss and confusion.
The woman in white suddenly had a strong murderous intent in her eyes, and her voice was low and cold:
“Actually, you have a chance not to be a puppet, and that is to stab Ye Fan hard in the back while he is suppressing the Amber Group and has no time to clone himself!”
“You kill Mark, and then blame him for killing the old lady and Steve!”
“In this way, you will not only be able to naturally become the leader of the family, but also gain the support of the royal family!”
“After all, for Temu Cihua and the Rui royal family, instead of letting Ye Fan control the Boston family, it is better to let you, the eldest lady of the Boston family, take the helm!”
“This way they can feel more at ease!”
“Miss Scarlett, give the order. As long as you give the order, I will immediately lead people to take down Stannie, and then design a trap to kill Ye Fan!”
The woman in white stared closely into Scarlett’s eyes, as if to convey her determination to her:
“Prince and General Xiang Ning has the guts!”
