Natasha was stunned, but she quickly understood what Alma meant. She hurriedly deleted the number she was about to call.
"Mom..." She looked at Marvin lying in the living room, and the phone in her hands was still shaking.
"You silly child, why are you in such a hurry? Haven't you seen your father give Lucille 10% of his shares last time? If you save him this time, he may increase the shares of her inheritance. We have always been by his side, yet he is leaving everything to her?"
Alma looked at Marvin lying on the ground, not moving at all. She kicked him twice with her slippers.
"Mom, we are killing him right now!"
Natasha may be a bad person, but she dared not commit murder. Even though she understood what Alma was doing, she was still concerned.
Alma sat back on the sofa. She put one leg on top of the other, took out her phone, and said proudly, "We are not the one who killed him. It's Lucille!"
"What do you mean by that?"
"I have recorded our conversation with Lucille, and I will find someone to edit it. After that, we will find the media and smear Lucille and Ralph's reputations. We will combine that with the recording..."
Alma did not go on, but everything was now under her control.
As she spoke, she glanced at the servants' room again.
Across the living room, there was only the kitchen and the servants' room. However, at such a late hour, the servants must be asleep, so she did not take it to heart.
"Mom, you've recorded it? You are so awesome!"
"Lower your voice!"
Natasha was making a ruckus, so Alma shot her a glare.
After a while, she kicked Marvin's body and told Natasha, "Come, yell with me together."
"What?" Natasha was now confused.
"Now, your father has just fainted." After she finished speaking, Alma began to shout, "Hubby? Hubby! What happened to you?"
Natasha understood as soon as she saw her. She shouted as well, "Dad! Dad!"
"What are you doing standing there? Go and call the servants! I'll go get the phone!" Alma shrieked.
"Okay!" Natasha ran to the door of the servant's room and shouted, "Wake up, wake up! My dad passed out!"
When she was about to knock on the door, she saw that the room was not locked, and it was left ajar.
Natasha pushed the door open, and the two servants in her house were in there. One was young, and the other was old.
"What happened?"
Both of them looked sleepy.
Natasha looked at them, and a terrible idea appeared in her mind, but soon, she thought that she might have been overthinking. She said, "Dad passed out! Mom is on the phone right now. Put on your clothes and come to the hospital with us later!"
"Okay, okay."
After the two servants heard that, they changed their clothes.
Only then did Natasha come out. Alma had finished calling the ambulance and hung up the phone.
"Mom, have you called them?"
"Yes. They'll arrive soon. They told us not to touch him, but we should press his philtrum." Alma said as she squatted down and put her thumb lightly on Marvin's philtrum. She did not exert any strength at all.
Within ten minutes, an ambulance arrived. Alma pointed to the young servant and said, "Jessie, come to the hospital with us. Emma, you stay at home."
"Alright."
"Understood."
The two servants agreed.
