“Why are you looking at me like that? You’ve raised a bunch of kids, and each of them wishes you were dead. You remember the seventh and eighth, the twins? They looked pretty cute, didn’t they?”
“They were secretly thinking of ways to kill me, right? Oh, they planned to have a snake bite me, huh? Do you know what they said when they died?”
“In the snake pit, they were still scheming-waiting for me to die so they could deal with my granddad, take the shares you had, and kill everyone in your family.”
“What kind of trash do you think you raised?”
“The useless ones are all dead, and now you’re left with this one, trying to take my place?”
“You think the old-timers in the Brown family are going to let him take the seat of head of the family?”
“The Brown family isn’t just yours to decide, Kenneth. You’re too stupid to realize that without me holding everything down all these years, you wouldn’t be sitting comfortably in this position.”
Conrad suddenly jerked his head to one side. “Huh? You blame me for my mom’s death? You blame me for what my granddad did to the Brown family?”
“You want to take a good look at what kind of person you are? Without my mom, would your Brown family still be stable? How did you deceive my mom, huh?”
“You got what you wanted, but you were too ashamed to show it? You left her at home, neglecting her again and again, while bringing other women back to flaunt it.”
He grabbed Kenneth’s hair, his eyes bloodshot, clearly losing his sanity.
“Is this your love nest with that bitch? Was it here you made my mom almost miscarry?”
Conrad slammed Kenneth’s head into the wall.
Kenneth tried to resist, but his people were knocked to the ground. Conrad showed no mercy.
“Sir!” Andrew watched in shock, but it seemed Conrad didn’t even hear the voices outside.
Seeing Kenneth’s blood seemed to only excite him more.
“Messing with Lillian, huh? What did you want with her? Come at me if you want something. Did you think I wouldn’t kill you?” Conrad stared at Kenneth.
The next moment, a sharp pain suddenly shot through Kenneth’s knee.
Conrad had a dagger in his hand and drove it deep into his flesh.
“Does that hurt?” Conrad sneered, watching his expression twist in pain. “Do you remember how my mom knelt in the shrine holding her stomach? How did you treat her?”
He twisted the knife.
“You called her a seductress. You used her most precious thing to hurt her. She fought to give birth to me, and now you want to take my life.”
“Stabilizing your company with a woman isn’t shameful. You used her cleanly, and now you want to wash your hands of it? You deserve to die!”
After saying that, Conrad plunged the knife into Kenneth’s abdomen.
“You think you’re a great breeder, huh? How does it feel to be killed by your own son? I’m not going to kill you all at once. I want to take my time, slowly kill you.”
“You killed my mom, and now you want to kill Lillian too.”
“Is it that I’ve been too nice lately?”
Kenneth’s whole body twitched, his eyes widened, and he stared at Conrad with intense hatred. “Bastard, you little bastard!”
Just as Conrad was about to deliver the final blow, a voice suddenly rang out.
“Stop!!!”
Conrad turned his head, and there stood Old Mrs. Brown.
She was leaning on a cane as she quickly made her way over. “Put down the knife!”
Conrad’s expression darkened. “What are you doing here?”
“If I don’t come, am I just supposed to watch you two fight like this?” Old Mrs. Brown glared at Andrew. “What are you still standing there for? Get in and separate them!”
After she spoke, a group of people rushed in behind her and helped Kenneth to his feet.
Then, a loud slap echoed through the room, striking Kenneth across the face.
“You! Once, twice, using the Brown Family Group to settle personal scores, causing the chaos in the family-all this mess started from within! I’m utterly disappointed in you!”
Kenneth had been in power for many years, but today, his face was completely lost. The Brown family operated on the principle of respecting strength above all else. His downfall was inevitable now, and it was already a done deal.
“Why are you still standing there? Get him to the hospital. The family will sort out the rest.” After Old Mrs. Brown spoke, she turned to Conrad. “Go home!”
“Dad! Grandma!! You can’t just leave me here!” Osmond screamed in desperation.
Old Mrs. Brown had never paid any attention to someone like him. “Throw him out of the country, and don’t let him ever set foot here again. No one in the Brown family is allowed to give him a single cent.”
Old Mrs. Brown understood better than anyone: the Brown family only needed one alpha wolf. The rest were just useless, nothing more than extra mouths to feed.
Kenneth was too preoccupied to care about Osmond.
But Conrad wasn’t about to let Kenneth’s influence go unpunished. Osmond, protected by Old Mrs. Brown, had his legs broken and lost all his financial support. What happened to him abroad was his own problem now.
Conrad was on a killing spree, and none of the old men following Kenneth were spared. He intended to completely wipe out Kenneth’s power.
Old Mrs. Brown had expected this madness from him. She was just praying in the church, her expression unchanged.

Melissa’s phone had been buzzing non-stop since the incident. Most of the messages were people asking for gossip. It felt like they wanted her to go live immediately and condemn George and Lillian for their affair.
With her temper, she would’ve already been on Twitter blasting people. But George had told her to wait.
She had been waiting so long, she was about to go off on the internet herself.
Finally, the Thomas Family Group released an official statement. They even posted the deleted screenshots.
Soon after, the Smith Family Group followed suit.
George and Gordon’s fans had spent an entire day mourning, their mouse clicks almost breaking, just waiting for their idols’ response. As long as they denied it, they would believe them.
No one expected them to release such solid evidence!
It was clearly a deliberate smear campaign!
Now, the fans rallied again, filled with energy, ready to control the narrative online!
Their idols were innocent!
Only then did Melissa start sharing George’s tweets, firmly declaring that people shouldn’t let themselves be used by malicious actors, becoming pawns for others’ agendas.
Her statement was clearly aimed at someone, and everyone quickly made the connection to Lillian, who had been spotted with Conrad at a hotel just days earlier!
And of course, the person most affected by all of this was Daisy!
If Daisy was really behind this, she was even more terrifying than anyone had imagined.
Naturally, Daisy was closely following the developments of this situation.
Daisy suddenly grabbed Irene, shouting, “Why was Lillian still wearing decent clothes? Why didn’t you strip her naked? Those reporters couldn’t get a shot of her naked! What exactly did you do?!”
She had originally planned to go all in and ruin Lillian’s life socially, making sure everyone saw her humiliation. She wanted everyone to see the nude photos of Lillian with George and Gordon in bed. That way, all the reporters in the room would see it, and the people watching the livestream would too!
Then Conrad would never want her again!
But now, it was all ruined!
