Chapter 399 The Real Mastermind


    Leo was shocked when seeing that.


    He hurried over to Millie and looked around alertly.


    All those uwfully-born had been killed. Who was actually shooting just now?


    Millie’s temperature had dropped low. Her body went deadly cold while trembling violently.


    “Who did that!” both Leo and Nadine turned around to stare at the second floor.


    Frank, the one they presumed to be buried in the grave, was standing there, safe and sound while


    holding a gun, the barrel of which still emitted smoke of gun powder.


    “Father?” Millie was stunned. She couldn’t help shivering again, looking extremely panic.


    Leo squinted. He seemed to foresee the sudden appearance of Frank this time.


    Actually, he once doubted if Frank feigned his death. Now the answer was obvious—he was right about


    that.


    Frank, in a ck suit, looked down on the yard from above. He didn’t even look like a dying man.


    Behind him there stood an old man—Matthews.


    Frank said while looking at Millie, “Let me make the choice for you.”


    “Frank, just as I expect, you’re still alive.”


    After staring at him for a while, Leo suddenly smiled.


    Frank replied with a series ofughter, looking energetic, “Of course I am alive! I still gotta show up to


    clean this mess up.”


    Matthews also let out a smile. He then bowed to congratte, “Congrattion, Mr. Perrier, now you


    have ceased the rebellion. There will be no more crazy lunatic preying on your position.”


    “Matthews, don’t forget that you have made your own contribution to the result. And Leo, so have you!”


    Frank suddenly stared at Leo andughed out, “You never fail my expectation! Great job! If it weren’t


    for your help, Millie would have been killed at the very beginning.”


    Leo only responded with silence.


    Millie stared at the two standing at the second floor, horrified, “What’s going on? You should have been


    killed.


    She was too stunned to finish her words.


    Frank took a look at her, “Oh, my girl, haven’t you ever noticed that I actually feigned death just to offer


    those rebels a chance


    to show up and then purge the family?”


    His exnation shocked her greatly, making her nk.


    She murmured, “What about the will? You also faked that?”


    Leo grabbed her arm to pull her behind his back. Then he warned seriously, “Millie, don’t be stupid. He


    has nned everything,


    from the assassination to the will he made! The whole thing has been part of his n!”


    “You’re right. I havee up with this n to eliminate all those rebellious bastards!” Frank revealed a


    crazy look. Then he


    continued, “My n has been started since the very beginning when I announced myself suffering


    terminal cancer. Everything


    you have seen is faked!”


    “I have never been diagnosed as having cancer. Nor have I been assassinated. Of course, the will I


    made was to trigger an


    infighting among ail of you.”


    Even Leo himself had to admit that he was a bit amazed by Frank’s trick. Undoubtedly, he was


    scheming enough to be the


    head of the Perries.


    During this rebellion, Frank appeared to be daring, decisive and sophisticated. He sessfully


    manipted everyone involved in


    the rebellion even including Leo himself.


    He knew about the close rtionship between Leo and Millie. But he never stopped them from


    developing a stronger


    ted an


    The answer was quite obvious—he tried to get Leo involved by means of Millie.


    And the final result appeared to be exactly the same as he had expected—Jimmy killed all those


    uwfully-born while he


    himself was defeated by Leo. By the power of Leo, Frank got rid of the biggest threat.


    So now it was the perfect moment for him to show up again.


    For the past five years, Leo had never experienced how it felt when being manipted. A tinge of


    hostility started to grow in


    ee acon


    “I got a question.” Leo squinted at Frank, “You are the head of the Perries, a powerful man known to all.


    I don’t think there


    would be anyone daring enough to assassinate you regardless of the consequence. But someone


    really did that and even


    avoided being noticed. I doubt if there was such a guy.”


    Since the truth had been revealed, Frank no longer insinuated, “You are right about your guess!


    Actually, it was Jimmy who


    faked this assassination with me!”


    Hearing that, both Leo and Millie were shocked.


    “What a psycho!” Leo huffed.


    Frank then added, “But something went wrong. I told Jimmy about my n. And I also promised to


    make him my inheritor to


    lead the family. But he did wanna kill me. I was so close to death that night! If it weren’t because I


    reacted swiftly enough, I


    would have been killed.”


    “But God blessed me! The result still came as nned. Now there will be no more enemies coveting


    my position!” Frank


    appeared to be in fine fig at this moment. He felt like getting control of everything once again.


    “You old bastard! You lied to me!” Millie red at him with her bloodshot eyes, screaming like a beast.


    Frank frowned, “Millie, that’s a test for you. If it weren’t for me, you would never learn to fight on your


    own.”


    “You lied to me! I won’t forgive you for the rest of my life!” Tears streamed down her face. Hatred


    surged up in her eyes while


    This belongs to N?velDrama.Org.


    she was looking at Frank.


    “Shut up! I am your father! Don’t talk to me like that!” Frank shouted angrily, “Lock her in! She shall


    never step out of the


    house without my permission!”


    Hearing that, Matthews made a gesture and then two tough guys rushed in from the outside. They


    walked over to grab her


    arms, “Sorry, miss.”


    “Let me go! It hurts!” Millie yelled out of pain but with her eyes still fixed on Frank.


    “Freak! You such a freak! You never treat me as your daughter! You only make me a tool to keep


    yourself in power!”


    When she finished, she turned to look at Leo, seemingly asking for help.


    “Leo, please...help me...”


    Leo nodded and thenid his hands on the shoulders of the two tough guys, “Didn’t you hear her


    saying let her go?”


    The tough guys only replied with a smirk. Obviously, they didn’t take it seriously.


    Frank sneered, “Leo, I am her father. You have no right to interfere!”


    “Oh, you finally notice yourself being her father, huh?”


    Leo added coldly, “Tell your men to let her go unless you wanna see two more dead bodies lying here.”


    Actually, since the rebellion started tonight, Leo hadn’t made a move so far.


    But Frank didn’t even give a fig about his warning, “Leo, I really appreciate you have strangled the


    rebellion for us. But do you


    believe that I will let you leave alive tonight?”


    The next second, he huffed to order, “Keep going! Take Millie away! Then kill him!”


    When the two tough guys were about to move on with Millie, they suddenly felt a pang of pain from the


    shoulders.


    Crack! As Leo strengthened his grip, their shoulders were actually broken.
