Chapter 1351


    The Collins n was not to be trifled with, and everyone from top to bottom knew it.


    Even though Eunice was well aware of this fact, and understood that bringing Arabe to the Collins’


    doorstep was akin to waving a golden ticket for protection, the temptation of the fortuneid out before


    them was too great to ignore. Especially since Bard was gone, and such a huge "pie" was up for grabs,


    no one could keep their hands to themselves.

    “If she dies, it''s on you, not us! You''re the one who brought her here,’ Teresa snapped, snatching the


    contract and pen from Mr. rence''s grasp and hurling them at Eunice. "Sign it now!"


    Sign first, deal with the consequencester.


    Arabe couldn''t be left to walk free. If she lived to see another day, she would surely spill the beans to


    Louisa.


    And if Louisa sought vengeance for her brother Bard, she would be their most formidable


    roadblock.


    As for Eunice, not only did she need to die, but her death had to be particrly brutal to quell both her


    and Bess"


    resentment.


    "Don''t get too cocky,’ Arabe finally spoke up, her eyes glinting with an icy displeasure.


    "This pretty little thing. with sixty bodyguards here, it would be a real shame if something happened to


    her."


    “Youy a finger on her, just try it!" Eunice threatened fiercely.


    “Oh, what? Do you think you''re still Mrs. Griffith?” Teresa taunted. “With Bard gone, you''re nothing but


    an ant beneath our feet. Besides, Alexander''s already had his way with you. In a bit, I''ll let these


    bodyguards give you a proper wee too! That''s what you get for unting yourself around all the


    time, pretending to be something you''re not."


    Eunice grabbed her by the cor, ready to give her a good thrashing.


    "Hold on, Aunt Eunice,’ Arabe urged calmly, “there''s no point in fighting a losing battle."


    Seeing Eunice let go in frustration, Arabe coolly addressed Teresa, “So, if Aunt Eunice signs this, can


    we leave Dawnstar safely?"


    “Of course!" Teresa hadn''t expected the young one to be so gullible. She smiled, "I always keep my


    word. Just hand over all the property and shares to us, and I''ll spare you both."


    "If they wanted to let us go, they would''ve done so by now."


    Before Eunice could finish, Teresa cut in, ‘It''s because you havent signed yet. Sign it now, my patience


    has its limits!"


    She was still in the mood to cajole them.


    But that would soon end.


    “I just don''t understand,’ Arabe interjected, lifting her gaze with an innocent bewilderment, “We''re


    family.


    Wouldn''t it be better to live happily together? Why harm Uncle Bard? If you wanted the money and


    shares, you could''ve just asked him. He would''ve certainly agreed. Why kill him and freeze all familial


    ties?"


    Teresa couldn''t help but think this girl was naive to a fault, even foolish.


    “In the world of high society, what is family really worth? You think too highly of your uncle” Teresa


    chuckled.


    “You think he''d just hand over his position if I asked? You young people are so shortsighted. If it were


    that simple, would we be where we are today?"


    "But Uncle Bard had the ability to take the Griffith empire to greater heights. He only took over the


    group from Grandpa. If you wanted it that badly, why didn''t you ask Grandpa back then?"


    “I''ll tell you why,’ Teresa started, “it''s because your great-grandfather left the position to your grandpa,


    giving only a small dividend to his siblings, and that''s what led to the situation."


    Before Teresa could finish, Arlen interrupted sharply, "Enough talk. Make her sign."
