Chapter 47 Tracy’s Misunderstanding


    At the moment, the courtyard of the Scott family was crowded with many people. They all came here to


    pay their respect.


    Edric faked tears over their death. “My dear brother! I wish you and I, together, could build a


    prosperous family. But now you leave me alone! What am I supposed to do?” He wept bitterly as if he


    was on good terms with Waldo.


    Edmund sat motionless, grief-stricken by this tragedy. His face was grey, and his eyes looked empty,


    dead.


    “Edmund, I know you''re out of your minds with grief. I am so sorry for your loss,” someone soothed.


    Anyway, superficial or not, the family was sick with grief.


    Edmund seemed to be getting back some sense of himself until the next morning. He tried to stand up,


    but he staggered and almost fell.


    “Be careful!” Someone rushed at him and held him upright.


    “Go away!” Edmund roared. Everyone was afraid toe any closer.


    He got slowly to his feet by leaning on a crutch. That sight made everyone around have so much


    respect for him. Even Edric was struck dumb by Edmund’s power.


    Edmund may be old, but he was still tough. He built the Scott family from scratch. No one dared to


    underestimate him.


    He cleared his throat and said, “I have two announcements. The first, shut down all the family


    businesses for three days and all the members of the Scott family are forbidden to entertainment of any


    kind during these three days.”


    All were astounded to hear that. They understood his bereavement, but it was indeed a great loss to


    shut down all the family businesses for three days. But none of them opposed the move at this difficult


    time.


    “The second one!” Edmund nced at them and continued, “those who discuss Waldo and Wace’s


    cause of death will be kicked out of the family!”


    At these words, all were extremely stunned.


    “Dad, why do you say that? Wace was gravely injured by that guy! That''s why he died! I could not


    stand it anymore. We should revenge!” A middle-aged woman retorted. She was Waldo’s wife and


    Wace’s mother. She had great hatred in her heart for losing two men she loved the most.


    “Shut up!” Said Edmund sternly, staring at the middle-aged woman angrily. “They died from idents.


    It has nothing to do with anyone! Do you understand that?”


    The woman was scared and didn’t argue back. She lost two important men and there was nobody for


    her to rely on in the Scott family. She couldn’t provoke Edmund, the head of the Scott family.


    “Does everyone remember the two announcements clearly?” Edmund said loudly, scanning the others.


    “Yes!” They shouted in unison.


    “Come with me, Edric!” Edmund said.


    Edric followed him to the study in confusion.


    “Edric, can you understand why I arranged like that just now?” Edmund asked calmly, staring at him.


    Edric shook his head, looking bewildered. “Dad, I have nned to speak to you privately. Why do we


    give up revenge?”


    “We are no match for him. He could shut down or unblock our businesses in just a few hours. That''s


    enough to show his strength. He could defeat us very easily. If we turn against him openly, he would


    never give us another chance,” said Edmund reasonably.


    Edric always looked down on Baron, but he began to understand somewhat now.


    “No matter how strong he is, Waldo and Wace died because of him! We shouldn’t let him go so


    easily,” Edric said grudgingly, with reddened eyes.


    Edmund squinted at him thoughtfully. After a while, he said, “did you ever think that Waldo and Wace


    may be murdered by someone?”


    “That was murder! Wace died of mortal wounds. Baron’s man did it! They are responsible for their


    death!” Edric said.


    “My point is, maybe they were killed for someone’s benefit and Baron is nothing but a scapegoat.”


    Edmund examined Edric carefully as if he was looking for any sign of evidence.


    But Edric had thought about the situation and was well-prepared. He was doing a pretty good job of


    hiding his expression. “What?! Dad, have you found something unusual?” Edric pretended to be


    surprised, without a trace of nervousness.


    Edmund could tell nothing from his face, looking faintly disappointed. “Edric, you''re right. We can''t let


    him get away with that. You are my only living heir. As long as you could revenge for them, I will name


    you as the head of the Scott family immediately.”


    “So, that means, if I couldn’t revenge for them, you will not give the position to me?” Edric asked.


    “You are my only son. At this point, I have no choice,” said Edmund, frowning.


    “You have options because you have a daughter and a son-inw. Maybe you could give them the


    head position.” Edric said and burst into augh. “After all, they are blood-rted. And I''m just a


    bastard. To protect your ipetent son and grandson, you have to dere that I’m the heir to The


    Scott family. Am I right?” Edric continued.


    “You’re crazy!” Edmund said furiously, with a shocked look on his face. How did Edric know this secret?


    “Not only that, but I also know your tricks. You deliberately let me revenge for them because you


    desperately want me dead. You have dered that their death has nothing to do with anyone! So, once


    I took revenge on Baron, if I seed, everyone''s fine. But if I fail, the entire family will be entirely


    meless except me.”


    “Dad, you have sacrificed more than enough for them. Now, fortunately, they are dead. You can rx


    now.” Edric continued to provoke his father.


    Edmund''s mouth opened wide with astonishment. “Fuck off. You son of bitch! I will never give you the


    head position!” He snarled.


    “Oh, finally you admit that! So you will understand if I do something evil.” Edric said defiantly.


    “What do you mean?” Edmund got a bad feeling.


    Just then, a middle-aged man entered.


    “Edric, I have prepared a will for Mr. Scott. He has signed it. If it''s okay with you, you can persuade Mr.


    Scott to put his thumbprint here, and then it will take effect at once.” The middle-aged man stood


    respectfully beside Edric, with a will in his hand.


    It seemed that things started to get out of hand. Edmund jumped to his feet and pointed at the middle-


    aged man, “w-w-what are you talking about? I never asked you to make a will, not to mention the


    signature.”


    The middle-aged man smiled gently, “Mr. Scott, have a look at the will, your signature is as in as


    day.” He said and waved the will before Edmund''s eyes.


    After getting a clear look at the paper, Edmund was in a terrible rage. “You son of a bitch. You set me


    up.” As he talked, suddenly he felt a sudden sharp pain in his heart. His face became white, and then


    he tried to take his heart pills from his pocket.


    But Edric stepped up to him and took the medicine bottle out of his pocket. Then he threw it out the


    window.


    “Oh, yes. And one more thing. It''s time to tell you the truth.” Edric bent down and whispered in his


    father’s ear, “don’t you think it is strange about their death? You are right. I sent someone to kill them


    and made it as an ident. Now you can die with them and don''t worry, I will take care of your family.”


    After hearing this, Edmund died, his eyes wide open and empty.


    “Dad!”

    “Call an ambnce! Call an ambnce right now!” Then came the cries from the study.


    Three men of the Scott family died in just two days! The news shocked the entire Cona.


    Edmund had dered that Edric would be the heir to the Scott family many times. Besides, there was a


    will in Edric’s hand. And so, he took over the position easily.


    The news spread to the Perry family soon. Henry was shocked and summoned Zoey as soon as


    possible.


    “Zoey, I get an important assignment for you. You have to seduce Wayne. If you marry him, with the


    Owen family’s support, our family’s businesses will skyrocket,” Perry said very seriously.


    Recently, Zoey and Wayne spent every day together. She was very confident that Wayne would fall in


    love with her. “Grandpa, you can count on that. Wayne just promised to marry me. When he gets back


    to Kato, he will set about a marriage proposal.”


    “Haha, yeah, very good, very good!” Perry was ecstatic.


    At his age, Perry had been through so much. The session of deaths in the Scott family was


    unusual. There must be more to it than that.


    Edric and Waldo came personally to apologize, but it was not because of the status of the Perry family.


    That day they got the wrong person. Because of this, Perry understood Baron was more powerful than


    the entire Perry family.


    When Tracy just walked out of Samho, she saw Baron was waiting by the door.


    “Baron, why did you do that?” Tracy questioned as soon as she saw Baron.


    Baron was confused by the words, “honey, I''m not sure what you''re referring to.”


    “The Scott family did do something wrong, indeed, but Yuri and I were unharmed. I can''t believe you


    killed three of them. How can you be so cruel?” Tracy’s cheeks grew red with great anger.


    The session of deaths in the Scott family was really astounding. It was hard not to connect this with


    Baron.


    Because the Scott family was a great big family, even the four families in Cona would not think it would


    be easy to provoke them. Except for Baron, she had never known anyone with such power.


    Baronughed to himself. “Is that what you think of me, Tracy? A cruel murderer?”
