Chapter 104: The Threat
"I’ll kill your wife."
"Stay away from her." Damien snapped at Simon without even thinking. The fear of losing everything was replaced with the terror of Simon killing Aveline.
Simon suddenly laughed, crossing his legs as he leaned back in the chair. "After all, Damien Ashford loves his wife."
Damien, however, wasn’t ready to accept it either. "I’ll decide when she dies," he hissed. His voice carried raw fury.
Simon’s voice cooled as he spoke, "If she dies, the shares will be yours, the land will be yours too." It’s just that people would be suspicious of Damien. "You lose nothing."
Damien stormed over, grabbed his mobile from the desk, and almost shoved it in Simon’s face. "She signed a f**king will today. If she dies, everything goes to the orphanage."
Simon read the text message from a contact named Nina.
[I tried calling you. Anyway, Dad insisted I prepare a will and sign it as the world learned more about me, and it’s dangerous. Sending you a copy. Let me know if you have bought anything in my name so that I can include it.]
Below the message was a photo of Aveline’s will.
Simon laughed cruelly at Damien’s fate. But he abruptly stopped, making the air more tense. "Damien, divorce her first thing in the morning. Or I’ll kill her before the clock hits 12." Either way, the chairman should be changed, and Charlie should be out of prison.
Simon stood up as he added his ultimatum, "The clock is ticking." And he walked away with Victor following him closely.
