’It was happening again. Every single time he trusted her, it always ended like this...’

’Archie Lockwood, you’re just too easy to fool, letting a woman deceive you time and time again!’

He coldly raised a hand and shoved Eleanor Bishop away. His eyes were vicious as he snarled, "Eleanor Bishop, you better pray you haven’t made a terrible mistake today. Otherwise, even strangling you to death won’t be enough to quell my hatred!!"

With that, Archie Lockwood had already taken out his phone and was walking toward the door.

He called Howard Rhodes as he walked.

Watching Archie Lockwood leave, Eleanor Bishop collapsed to the floor, sobbing with her head down. "Archie, I’m sorry. I’m so, so sorry..." ’If I had a choice, I never would have done this. But I didn’t have a choice... I had no choice at all...’

’My love is important, of course, but my family is just as important...’

’I couldn’t choose love when it was a choice between love and family...’

’I couldn’t just stand by and watch my family get hurt. I really couldn’t...’

’Archie, you’ll never understand... Hurting you hurts me more than it hurts you...’

"Archie, I’m sorry. I’m so, so sorry..."

Archie Lockwood couldn’t get through to Howard Rhodes at all. Right then, he wanted nothing more than to go back and strangle Eleanor Bishop to death!!!

’Her father is important, her father needs saving, so my father can just get into trouble? He can just be sent to his death?’

’Even though he hated Julius Lockwood with a passion, he ultimately didn’t want to see anything happen to him...’

Archie Lockwood got into his car, gripping the steering wheel tightly. His eyes were dangerously vicious. ’Eleanor Bishop, you had better pray that the old man is okay. Otherwise, I will definitely kill you!!’

’I will!’

When Archie Lockwood rushed to the Lockwood Family estate, he saw Yuna Sullivan sitting cross-legged on the sofa in the living room.

He ignored Yuna Sullivan completely and started walking toward the old master’s bedroom.

But just then, Yuna Sullivan stood up, blocking Archie Lockwood’s path. She sneered, "Well, well. And where have you been? What took you so long to get back?"

"Yuna Sullivan, I’m warning you, you’d better not provoke me right now. If you push me too far, I’ll shoot you dead!" As he spoke, Archie Lockwood was already reaching out and tightening his grip on his gun.

Sensing Archie Lockwood’s murderous aura, Yuna Sullivan didn’t seem afraid. Instead, she laughed again and continued in a strange, taunting voice, "Go on then, kill me if you have the guts! Don’t think you can do whatever you want just because you’re back in the Lockwood Family. Archie Lockwood, don’t you forget, I’m your aunt! Your elder! When you see me, you should show the proper respect a junior owes to their senior."

"Yuna Sullivan, I think you’re looking to die!" Archie Lockwood drew his gun, pressed it against Yuna Sullivan’s head, and spoke in a chilling voice. 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝔀𝓮𝒃𝙣𝓸𝒗𝒆𝒍.𝙘𝒐𝒎

With the gun against her head, a flicker of fear crossed Yuna Sullivan’s face, but she quickly mustered her courage again. "If you have the guts, then shoot! I’m telling you, if I die, you, a murderer, can forget about inheriting anything from the Lockwood Family!"

Archie Lockwood didn’t even know how he managed to suppress the murderous rage boiling inside him and put the gun away. He pressed his lips into a thin line and said with a cold laugh, "Even if something happens to the old man, you and your son won’t inherit a single thing from the Lockwood Family!! Don’t forget, the old man’s will specifies the ’direct bloodline’! Even if it goes to some distant relatives outside the main family, it will never fall into the hands of you and your son."
