Chapter 689

Clearly, he was trying to convince Shane. “Well, I don’t know what happened between you and Sean, but
he’s your only cousin. Why don’t you forgive him?”

A sliver of mockery appeared across Shane’s gaze. He closed the file he had just signed and spoke
coolly. “So you came here to persuade me to not arrest Sean?”

“Uh, you’re right,” replied Sam as he coughed awkwardly.

“Impossible!” Shane announced without hesitation.

The smile on Sam’s face froze. “Why?”

“He kidnapped my wife and held her hostage before jumping off a cliff with her. Why should I forgive
him?” Shane’s gaze was frosty.

Sam trembled involuntarily at Shane’s menacing gaze.

Why is this brat so intimidating? I don’t think Dad was this intimidating when he was alive.

Sam swallowed his saliva and held back his fear for his son. “Oh? Is your wife alright then?” He kept his
pleasant smile.

“You should be lucky she’s still alive. Otherwise, I won’t only be going after Sean. Both you and Aunt
Catherine will need to pay the price as well.” Shane crossed his hands and rested them on his belly.



Sam felt his heart constricting in fear and hatred.

He was afraid as Shane clearly didn’t care that they were related.

The hatred in his heart intensified when he realized Shane was threatening him because of a woman.



That was what he thought, but he didn’t show it. Touching his nose fearfully, he replied, “Yes, I’m glad
she’s fine. Shane, since she’s not hurt, why don’t you forgive Sean? He’s your cousin, right? You can’t be
that heartless.”

“Cousin?” Shane scoffed as though he had heard something funny. “So you think I should forgive a
cousin who tried to poison me, kidnap my wife, and scheme to get my money from me? If so, it’s a pity
my dad is your only brother.”

At the mention of Shane’s dad, Sam’s pupils shrank in shock. He hastily looked down to hide the fear
and guilt in his gaze.

“Uh, I was wrong. It was all Sean’s fault. I shall teach him a lesson. Shane, can you forgive him this
once? I promise-”

“No!” Shane cut in firmly. “I said, I won’t forgive him. If it was your wife who got kidnapped, would you
forgive the kidnapper?” He threw the question back at Sam.

Sam was rendered speechless.

Shane curved his lips into a smirk. “Look, you can’t even do it. Why are you asking me to do so? Sean
has gone crazy over Grandpa’s will. Do you know what is written in his will?”

His gaze was fixed on Sam.

It was as though Sam had just seen something horrible. Jolting up from his seat, the color drained from
his face as huge droplets of sweat began to dot his forehead. “I-I don’t know…” His voice was trembling.

“Oh?” Shane’s gaze darkened. “You don’t know? Sean told me Grandpa’s will concerns your family’s
fate. That was why he was so desperate to get the will. Let me guess. That will is about-”

“There’s nothing in the will. Shane, I’m sorry for showing up unannounced today. Goodbye!”



With that, he spun around and dashed out.

It was as if something ghastly was chasing after him.

Shane pursed his lips in displeasure at the sight.

Sam’s scared out of his wits. Looks like Sean’s right. That will can determine his family’s fate.
