Chapter 64
Rhea had already peeled the apple in her hand, revealing the flesh inside.
She tossed the peeled apple aside without a second glance, and instead, she pulled out a few tissues to meticulously wipe the fruit knife in her hand until there wasn’t a trace of juice left. Only then did she give Beatrice a meaningful look
Beatrice picked up the frust knife and handed it to Dale. He looked at the knife, his eyes f
full of disbelief, his whole body trembling uncontrollably.
“What are you going to do! It doesn’t have to be like this. He is innocent! You can’t do this, it it will get us in trouble?”
Beatrice couldn’t help but tremble with fear at this moment. However, this fear only lasted a few seconds before she quickly calmed down again.
family. That illegitimate child deserves to die. He and
She constantly reassured herself in her heart, This is for everyone’s good, for the good of this fa his mistress mother both deserve in dicl
Beatrice couldn’t help but swallow, and unknowingly, she felt a tinge of guilt in her heart, Ithea was such an innocent and kind girl. If it weren’t for ne being so weak and unable to make a decision, Rhea wouldn’t have been forced to do such a terrible thing
Everything was so quiet in the living room, even the cries from the storage room were getting quieter and quieter.
Rhea’s big eyes, which were always watery, had finally lost their look of grievance and were unusually clear. unlike any other, making her whole face appear strangely discordant.
She gently said to Dale, “Don’t worry, Dad, Matthew will help you handle everything”
her smile carmed a viciousness.
Even though Dale hadn’t done many good deeds in his life, he had to admit that at this moment, he was genuinely frightened by his daughter’s
“No I can’t” Realizing that they weren’t joking with him, he trembled as he backed away, as if Beatrice wasn’t handing him a knife but was about to stab hum
Beatrice sneered. “What’s wrong, dear? Why are you hesitant? Are you trying to fool us
“Of course not!” Dale shook his head frantically, stammering as he spoke, “I just think there’s no need, no need for that, right? He’s still a child.”
Beatrice s paze showed a hint of excitement. She had no intention of retracting the knife and advised earnestly, “Dear, I’m doing this for his own good. If you do it yourself, he might suffer lew.”
“The hundreds of billions of dollars from the Barrett Group are within reach, along with the assets Maybelle holds Dear, do you really love that bastard so much that you’re willing to give it all up?”
Hearing this, Dale’s greed seemed to be infinitely aroused. He suddenly stood up, snatched the knife from Beatrice’s hand, and headed resolutely towards the storage room.
But as he approached the storage room, he noticed the previously locked door was ajar, and inside, the boy huddled in the corner, trembling as he looked at him. “Dad. I am your only son.”
Dale didn’t speak as he walked toward him with a grim expression. Owen screamed miserably as he scrambled towards the door.
“Catch him” Dale shouted furiously. And they chased the boy around every comer, eventually cornering him at the bend of the second–floor hallway
“Owen, don’t be afraid, it’ll be quick” Dale spoke gently, yet he raised the dagger in his hand, pressing toward the boy step by step.
The boy’s face turned pale, and with a gland
a glance at the window beside him, he gritted his teeth and jumped out.
In the dark night, the black Porsche Cayenne in front of the villa appeared particularly discreet.
Matthew received a message from Rhea a cute cartoon emoji to show the issue had been settled.
When Owen jumped down, his head hit the landscape rock in the yard, killing him instantly.
The tiny body was packed into a 24–inch suitcase. Rhea looked at the suitcase being pushed in from the yard, her lips curling slightly
She remembered that when she was as young as Owen, she spent most of her time as a homeless street child.
She recalled one day when a passerby casually discarded a half–eaten bowl of pasta beside a trash bin just as she was about to pick up the bowl, it was snatched by a stray dog.
At that time, she was extremely hungry, having forgotten how many days it had been since the last ate. She wanted to fight the dog for the food, but

ended up being bitten by the vicious dog
She endured the pain, gritting her teeth, and mustered all her strength to fight for her meal. Finally she won, and she laughed with the bowl of pasta in her hand.
In her memory, that was the first victory of her life. And today could be considered the second.
Matthew gallantly took the suitcase. Rhea affectionately laced her arm through his, looking up at him with a beaming smile as she spoke.
Based on the surveillance camera footage, it would simply seems like a young girl, seizing the cover of night, happily went on a date with her beloved.
Having completely dealt with the illegitimate child who would compete with her for the family inheritance, Rhea was in a good mood these past few days. Furthermore, another piece of good news soon arrived
The school leaders at the Austin School finally agreed to let her enroll but even made an exception to allow her to join the best Class At Upon learning this news, Rhea was so excited she couldn’t sleep. Now, she had the opportunity to see Maybelle every day.
Dale and Beatrice, however, were a bit perplexed. After all, during their last meeting, the school had implied that at least 150 thousand dollars would be needed. In the past, such an amount was a mere trifle for the Harper family, easily covered by using Maybelle’s credit card.
But now the Harper family was short of money, how could they easily come up with this amount? Beatrice was planning to find an ordinary high school near their home for Rhea, but unexpectedly, the matter was settled just like that.
In response to their doubts, Rhea just gave a shy smile, “Mom and Dad, can’t you think of this? Besides Matthew, who else in the world would be so
She had previously hinted to Matthew that she wanted to attend Austin School. At that time, he just made a perfunctory effort, but unexpectedly, he sorted it out so quickly.
The last time, when the Preston family intervened, the issue with the illegitimate child was handled cleanly, with no troubles arising. The Harper family tacitly never brought it up again and returned to their loving family routine, as if nothing had happened.
Beatrice gently stroked Rhea’s hair, “So that’s how it is. It seems like Rhea is indeed quite capable. I bet that Preston boy was already obsessed with
you
Rhea replied, “Of course. It was his duty to be good to his future fahrer.
“Class A? If I remember correctly, isn’t that the same class as Mabel? Dale looked at the admission notice and couldn’t help but remind her, “Don’t just think about that boy all day. Remember the most important task for the family, seize this opportunity to persuade Mabel to sign the contract.
Rhea blinked at him and smiled sweetly, “Don’t worry, I’ll seize this great opportunity and bring her back soon.”
