Just as Thomas pointed his gun toward Senior Howard, the guards lunged forward and grabbed him from behind.
Bang!
Thomas' gun discharged amid the scuffle.
All he wanted was to use the gun to scare the guards. After all, he knew he was outnumbered and had no other way of ensuring his and Yannie's safety, so the gun was the only way to leave Howard Mansion alive.
However, he never thought that just as he was about to let off a warning shot to keep the guards at bay, the leader grabbed hold of his arm and accidentally set off the gun, sending a bullet straight toward Senior Howard.
"Agh!" Senior Howard instinctively grabbed hold of his abdomen.
The bullet pierced into his belly.
"Senior Howard!" Tina let out a shriek and immediately sprinted toward him. "Are you okay? Someone call a doctor! Someone call an ambulance!"
Thomas and the guards, who were engaged in a scuffle, froze when they heard this.
Thomas stared dazedly at his father, then lowered his head to glance at the gun.
Did he…accidentally hurt that old geezer?
"Are you happy now?" Tina shot Thomas a murderous glare. "He's your father, for God's sake! Has he ever mistreated you apart from sending you away from home and refusing to let you take over the family business?
"From the moment you turned ten, we've given you money for your allowance every month, so what do you even have against him? Why did you shoot him?"
