"I know you hate Conrad. If you ever get the chance to kill him, I hope you won''t."


    "You''ve never been in my shoes. Don''t preach to me about what''s right. Do you


    think just because he''s my father, I should spare him?"


    "I''m not asking you to spare him. He''s a beast, but you''re human. Ruining your life


    for someone like him isn''t worth it unless you think your life has lost all its


    meaning. If that''s the case, killing him might bring you some relief. But I believe


    you still want to live. If you kill him on impulse, you''ll regret itter."


    "What should I do then? Let him live as if nothing happened?"


    "Who said staying alive is a blessing? Sometimes, living is the worst punishment."


    Lara sneered at Conrad, who was eager to snatch the gun in her hand.


    "Boss, I''ve made up my mind," she said. "I want him to live."


    Drake was surprised, but she continued, "I want him to live in hell."


    She then shed Conrad''s wrist with a knife, causing him to howl in pain.


    "Hand over the Sharp family, or I''ll cut your other hand," she demanded.


    "Okay. You can have it all," Conrad cried, scrambling backward in fear.


    Lara threw the prepared transfer agreement onto the floor. Conrad scribbled his


    name down immediately.


    The agreement was prepared by Debra for her. This was what the Sharp family


    owed her.


    After she picked up the agreement, Conrad stammered, "I''ve given you


    everything. Let me go. I''m your father."


    Lara plunged the de between his legs. He was not hurt, but it was close


    enough to scare him out of his pants.


    "Mr. Sharp," she said calmly, "if you can''t control yourself, I''ll take care of it for


    you."


    The knife came down, and blood spattered everywhere.


    For Conrad, women were his greatest pleasure, and the Sharp family was his


    strongest shield. Now Lara had just taken both away.


    Debts had to be repaid. He had


    fathered countless illegitimate


    daughters and used them to gain


    power. And he discarded his women


    like trash. He was nothing but a


    beast.


    Now Lara agreed with Debra. She


    couldn''t kill Conrad, not because he


    was her father. Rather, he wasn''t


    worth dirtying her hands.


    Her future was bright. She couldn''t ruin it for someone like him.


    Kale came up. "We''ll handle the rest. You can go now."


    Lara nodded and left with the agreement.


    Kale turned to Drake. "Boss, are we just letting her take over the Sharp family like


    this?"


    "It was hers to begin with," Drake


    replied, ncing at Conrad, who had


    passed out from the pain. "The


    wicked always get what''sing to


    them. Meeting Debra was just


    karma catching up to him."
