‘To give her two of the quadruplets?’
Alex almost flew into a rage. What was this demonic faced woman thinking?
Even if he were to lose his life, he could never give away his two children, much to a demon who killed without batting an eyelid.
Carol knew all too well that Alex would not accept the proposal, and she had said that just to anger him. Her heart was full of hatred toward Alex. She wished dearly that his family would be ruined, hating that she couldn’t consume his flesh and gnaw his bones!
As for the feud between the two, who was right and wrong, and who was the instigator?
But did that matter?
It didn’t! The important thing was that Carol instantly went berserk when she saw Alex alive and kicking.
Seeing Alex looking as if he had swallowed a fly, Carol felt refreshed… She had been living under his shadow since childhood
His father was more capable than hers. His mother was stronger than hers.
His parents were the great bosses of Rockefeller Group, whereas her parents were just pitiful subordinates.
When she was trapped in the fire, she still needed his father to rescue her. Would she then have to keep remembering his lifesaving grace and his father’s goodwill?
She even had to remember his kindness. But on what grounds?
Such was the injustice of Heaven and fate!
That family should’ve never existed. The world could only be in peace if they died!
Carol looked at Alex with all those thoughts in her mind. Then, she cackled. “Alex Rockefeller, how about it? Do you agree? Aren’t you the self proclaimed Messiah, the embodiment of justice? The lives of millions of Californians in exchange for your two sons is worthwhile and cost-effective, isn’t it?”
Alex said nothing.
After Brittany saw Carol’s face clearly, she was filled with shock and anger. “Carol Rockefeller, how dare you do this? Have you forgotten who saved you when you were almost burned to death when you were young? How dare you want the lives of my two grandsons? Are you black-hearted? Do you still have any humanity?”
Carol looked at Brittany and burst into laughter. She abruptly turned her head and changed into a hideous face.
“Humanity?”
“Look at my face. Do I look like a human? Do I need something like humanity?”
After Carol revealed her face, not only Brittany and Alex recognized her, but many who used to know her recognized her as well. This was, after all, the Rockefeller Manor of California. Since Carol had lived there for more than ten years, many neighbors knew her. In addition, Rockefeller Group was a well-known large enterprise back then when Carol’s father was considered a senior executive.
However, they did not expect to meet her again at such a scene.
Carol did not conceal the surging demonic shadows as she sternly shouted, “Alex Rockefeller, Brittany Rockefeller, I’ll give you one minute to hand over the two sons among the quadruplets to me. Otherwise, I’ll ask my demon pets to massacre the people in the city. No one will be spared, and you can’t stop them.”
“I’ll ask an extra child if more than one minute has passed.”
