Elina's eyes widened and she struggled against the rope wrapped around her neck. She spoke with difficulty, "I-"
Johan said, "I've long known again that you intend to harm me, but I didn't expect you to want me dead this much. Since you hate me so much, you'd better leave this world with me. Elina, I promoted you to this position. Life in a wealthy and powerful family won't be peaceful. As the mistress of the family, you should bide your time until I die so that you can do whatever you want after that. But, you killed Kieffer and disobeyed me. I'm not going to let you off."
"You... old f*cker... how dare you... ugh..."
Before Elina could swear aloud, the old butler exerted some strength behind her and garrotted her.
Elina fell to the ground with a loud thud. The old butler knelt down to Johan, weeping bitterly. "Old Master..."
"Stop crying. Take the money and items I've given you and leave through the secret passage. Go as far as you can. Remember, don't ever come back in this lifetime. After all, this is not a place for a normal person to stay."
Johan lifted the quilt. It turned out that the place under him was the entrance to the secret passage. The old butler wiped his tears and gazed bitterly at Johan. "Master, please let me stay with you."
"No, just go. Even if you stay, there's nothing you can do other than die."
Johan opened the entrance of the passageway. The old butler looked around and left with the items and money at last.
After he left, Johan put the quilt back on and lay there.
He closed his eyes and waited.
Flynt came back and heard that his mother had been accompanying Johan. He thought that Johan was assigning something to her, hence he waited outside for two hours. However, he felt that something was amiss.
"I'll go in and have a look."
He strode into the room to find that his mother, Elina, had died next to Johan with her eyes wide open.
Flynt paused, not allowing the people behind him to enter. It took him a long time before he blinked. He walked in and held Elina in his artificial limb. He was so heartbroken.
Johan, who was beside him, said, "She brought this upon herself. Not only did she poison me, but she murdered Kieffer as well."
Flynt raised his head slowly. "Why must you do this? And let me see it?"
"It's for your own good. This is a place where only demons can survive. You are now a demon."
Johan cracked a smile. "You asked for it. You could have kept your mother alive, but you chose to go against me."
Johan closed his eyes and soon stopped gasping.
Flynt suddenly let go of his mother, picked up a pillow, and pressed it down on Johan's head, using all his strength!
Raeleigh stayed in Waverly Village for two days. As they didn't need her help in the village, she went to the university.
On the way there, Raeleigh sent a text message to Jacky. Currently, finding Austin was urgent!
"My men are still looking for him in Green House. You can rest assured that as long as he is still alive, he will be found."
Raeleigh grinned. "Thank you."
"Thank you too. If you hadn't told me that Deanna was going to give birth, I might not have come back in time. If anything had happened to her, I would have been devastated."
From the beginning to the end, the person whom Jacky was most grateful to was Raeleigh.
"How lucky you are to have two babies. I heard from my brother that they have overlapped in the uterus, so the fact that there were twins was overlooked. Anyway, I believe it's fate."
"Thank you."
Jacky was in a happier mood than ever before. He hung up and turned to look at Deanna.
Deanna was about to be discharged from hospital to return home.
Jacky almost ignored the two babies as he focused on looking after Deanna. The babies were being taken care of by Hannah and Rayan.
While Hannah was resting, she kept asking Rayan why Jacky didn't show any intention of taking the babies away.
