Chapter 135 Trump Card
s
Fortunately, Chris still had a trump card up his sleeve. He was not worried about Felicia throwing him to the wolves.
Chris threw open the door to the study with a loud bang, storming in. Felicia was sitting in her study, poring over documents with her sses on.
Seeing Chris standing there with a furious expression on his face, Felicia didn’t get angry. Instead, she casually took off her sses and said, “You have to knock before entering the study. Have you forgotten your manners? What have I taught you over the years?”
Felicia’s tone was calm, and no trace of anger could be heard. Rather, she sounded a bit disdainful.
On the surface, Felicia always seemed to be a gentle and loving mother to Chris. However, when no one else was around, she didn’t bother to hide her disdain and contempt for him.
Chris was already used to it. However, this time, he felt especially humiliated and frustrated.
“Why are you setting me up?” He asked angrily. “You’re the one who arranged for those kidnappers! Are you the one who told them what to say to the police?”
Felicia raised her eyebrows and asked calmly, “Aren’t you the one who kidnapped Tracy?”
Chris was left speechless.
He took a few deep breaths to calm himself before he spoke again, “Yes, I was the one who kidnapped Tracy, but I have nothing to do with Erin’s kidnapping. Besides, I was trying to build a good rtionship with Erin for our family.”
Chris spoke with an air of righteous confidence, but Felicia merely scoffed coldly, “Do you really think I don’t know what you did?”
His heart seemed to stop for a moment, and his anger turned into panic. “I… I don’t know what you’re talking about.”
Felicia casually flung her sses onto the table, crossed her legs, and folded her arms. She looked at Chris as if he were nothing more than a clown making a fool of himself.
“The reason I chose you in the first ce was because you had ambition and desire, but you were also stupid and easy to control. You even had a fragile body that might give out at any time. Unlike your brother, who’s smart, talented, and healthy. One wrong move, and he could easily stab me in the back.”
Chris clenched his fists tightly. He was rooted to the spot, swirling with humiliation, anger, and panic. However, he quickly regained hisposure.
After all, he had heard all these countless times as he was growing up.
Calming himself down, Chris spoke again with a gentler tone, “Since you chose me and spent so much time grooming me over the years, please help me this time. I was wrong. I promise it won’t happen again.”
He took a more humble and lower stance, hoping that Felicia would cut him some ck this time.

However, Felicia just chuckled lightly, “Indeed, you really are dumb. You’ve been by my side for so many years. When have I ever used a pawn that is no longer useful to me?”
Chris’s eyes widened.
He knew that Felicia was decisive, but he hadn’t expected her to abandon him so easily.
“You’re no longer interested in the shares I have?”
As the Woodwards’ only son, he had received shares from the older Woodwards, which his parents had been fighting over.
Chris had thought that Felicia was doing this to give him a warning and to force him to give her his shares so that she would have an advantage over his father.
“Of course I want them,” Felicia answered with a slight smile as she watched him. “As for whether I can get them, that depends on whether you’re going to hang on to them and go to prison or if you want my help.”
Of course, Chris understood what she meant, and his face drained of color.
He’d been by Felicia’s side for so long, so naturally, he was very aware that even if he handed over his shares to her, it wouldn’t change anything. She would still treat him as a useless pawn.
Chris gritted his teeth and no longer hid his emotions, ring at Felicia with hatred.
After a long while, he suddenly let out a soft chuckle. “My dearest mother, why don’t you take a look at something first before you decide if you want my shares?”
Chris unlocked his phone and pulled up a video from his gallery.
The video was in high definition, but the angle was tricky. It looked like it had been secretly filmed from behind some kind of hiding spot.
A woman was standing in the center of the video, dressed elegantly andvishly. It was none other than Felicia.
A woman was tied to the chair that was before Felicia. The woman was wearing bold makeup, her features sharp and unforgettable.
Felicia stood there coldly, instructing the two bodyguards she had brought with her to strangle the woman with a rope before hanging the body to make it look like it was a suicide. Before she left, she even instructed the bodyguards to make sure they cleaned the ce up thoroughly.
The video had captured audio as well, making it clear that Felicia was the one giving the orders.
Felicia had been calm andposed all this time as she sat on the couch. Now, her expression finally changed. She clenched the phone tightly with both hands and shot to her feet.
Chris watched her expression change with satisfaction. He leisurely moved toward the adjacent couch and
sat down.
Chris’s earlier subservient demeanor had vanished. He crossed his legs and said, “In order to gain control over me and my brother, you killed our biological mother and set it up to look like she killed herself. If the police find out about this video, who do you think will be the one who goes to jail or maybe even gets

sentenced to death?”
This time, it was Felicia’s face that was drained of color.
She gripped the phone tightly, as if she wanted to smash it into pieces. “How did you get this video?”
Felicia had been very careful back then, but she hadn’t expected to overlook such a significant piece of evidence.
Chris smiled, the corners of his lips twitching upward. “You’re right. My brother is very smart. Before you came to us, he knew you had been investigating us quietly, so he secretly installed surveince cameras in the house. That’s how we managed to capture such a wonderful scene.”
