Chapter 10


    “You’re Tyler Hargreeves! Don’t be so smug with yourself! Henry has already secured the Langston


    Family inheritance. If you kneel and beg me now, I might still help you out here. If you know what’s best


    for you, you’d better hand over Natalie Langston to us immediately! Otherwise, I’ll send you to


    apany Casper Langston in death!” Back when Casper was still the very picture of health, no one


    would daree to his residence and cause such a scene, let alone disregard Tyler. However, the


    men here determined that Casper’s era was over. Tonight was to be the new beginning of the Langston


    Family, as everything that Casper once had would be taken from him. Tyler then gave a sardonic smile.


    “You and what army? Men! Arrest them all!” At hismand, several ck-suited bodyguards

    immediately surrounded the intruders. Right now, it was a brief calm before the storm. A momentter,


    the storm happened. … Upstairs, in the bedroom. Completely unaware of the situation downstairs,


    Natalie had just finished Casper’s treatment and was about to leave when Casper suddenly opened his


    eyes and grabbed her by her wrist. “What are you doing?” Natalie frowned and tried to break free from


    Casper’s grip. However, the more she struggled to do so, the darker his expression became. Before he


    lost consciousness, Casper heard Professor Wrightmenting that he could not cure his legs. Not only


    that, but the professor had even said that he was suffering a bacsh and would lose his life at any


    moment now. However, he miraculously regained consciousness once more. Thinking back, a


    period, unless someone had been secretly performing a treatment on him. The first time he woke up, it


    was Natalie by his side. Back then, he needed time to process information and paid no further mind to


    her, as everything was happening at once. This time, it was still her by his side. Is this a coincidence?


    The seeds of suspicion had been nted in his heart. Feeling the man’s gaze, as though he was


    looking at a prey, Natalie panicked slightly. Is he suspecting me now? No, it can’t be. Since he didn’t


    see me performing the treatment, I’ll just have to deny everything even if he questions me. Right now,


    all she wanted was to get a divorce as soon as possible and get away from this dangerous man.


    “Casper, you freaking psychopath! You’re hurting me! Let go!” This man is just too scary for me to deal


    with. A cold glint shed briefly in his amber eyes before he pulled his handsome face closer to Natalie


    and said in a stern voice, “I’ll ask you onest time. What are you doing just now? Are you nning to


    kill me?” Considering that she was the only one in the room and that she was so close to him, she was


    either trying to save him, or to kill him. Upon Casper’s usation, Natalie froze, as the very thought of


    killing him had never once crossed her mind. However, this psychopath had just used her of trying


    to kill him. Not only that, but this psychopath had always walked the talk. “No, Casper, you’re—” Casper


    coldly interrupted her. “Are you afraid of me?” Just who wouldn’t when you’re like this? she thought, but


    remained silent out of fear. Just then, there was a knock on the door followed by the sound of the door


    handle turning. Natalie could feel her heart sink at this very moment. Since she was afraid that


    someone would enter the bedroom and interrupt the treatment, she’d locked the door to the bedroom


    earlier. However, before she could unlock the door, Casper suddenly woke up. Regardless, in his eyes,


    these suspicious actions led him to a different assumption. Taking a nce at the locked door, Casper


    immediately roared, “You lied to me!” “I—” Before Natalie could exin herself, Tyler had kicked the


    door open. He was briefly taken aback upon stumbling into such a scene inside the bedroom, but


    immediately came back to his senses and said with joy, “Mr. Langston, you’re awake!” Since the door


    was locked, he had a hunch that something was wrong. Afraid that Henry’s men had gotten to Casper,


    he couldn’t help but break the door down. But, why was Mrs. Langston inside the room? “Did


    something happen?” Casper asked while loosening his grip on Natalie’s wrist in displeasure. Tyler then


    exined, “Henry had caught wind that you were on your deathbed, so he had sent his men over to


    capture Mrs. Langston back to the Langston Residence for an unknown reason. Besides that, they said


    that Henry has secured his inheritance of the Langston Family. I’m afraid there is amotion right


    now at the Langston Residence. But, please rest assured, Mr. Langston. We have arrested Henry’s


    men. So, what should we do next?” With a mischievous smile, Casper said indifferently, “Report my


    death. Tell Henry that I have died and that the share agreement is in my study so that he’lle and


    get it himself.” “Understood, Mr. Langston.” With that, Tyler left the room in a hurry. “Just who are you


    really?” Casper asked coldly. Based on what Tyler had told him, he had obtained a piece of crucial


    information that Henry wanted to capture Natalie back to the Langston Residence. Since the number of


    times Henry had met Natalie could be counted on one hand, Casper could not understand why Henry


    wanted to see Natalie. In Casper’s mind, there was only one possibility left: that she was taking orders


    from Henry. Hence, he believed his deduction that Natalie was here to kill him was correct, that she


    was here to kill him under Henry’s orders.
