Johnâs meeting had just ended. He went back to his office and thought about how his family had sent
Brittany a coffin.
He hated her immensely, even though she was his sister-in-law.
Back when William was still alive, Brittany was second-in-charge of the sales and finances of
Rockefeller Group. It was extremely difficult to pull tricks behind her back when he was working under
her.
She had scolded him multiple times for tampering with documents, and humiliating him. He had always
wanted to hire some men to kidnap her and humiliate her twice as much as she did to him.
However, due to a meeting with the directors, it was regretful that he had to miss out on a great show.
He immediately called his son, yet Spark didnât pick up.
âThis little brat, how dare he ignore my calls? Is he having too good of a time insulting that b*tch?
Hence why he couldnât hear his phone ring?â
Just then, Pepper walked into the office, and she had on an elegant black uniform, with a pair of heels.
She was holding a cup of fresh ground Brazilian coffee.
âMr. Rockefeller, your coffeeâ¦â
John, however, didnât take the coffee. Instead, he wrapped his arms around her, pressing her body
against his. âSparky bought a coffin to send off that useless pest, Alex. Why donât we go over and
check it out?â
Pepper smiled. âTo Brittanyâs? Sure!â
Brittany used to be her bossâ wife, hence Pepper had to be at her service back then. Since she could
insult her openly now, she was overjoyed to join in the fun.
Just as the two were preparing to leave, Noah called John.
âJohn, please come back home quickly! Things are bad!â
âHuh? What could possibly go wrong back home?â
âUgh, just come back now! Quickly!â
Noah sounded like a mess, he didnât even explain anything in the call.
Yet John didnât care about that at all. He knew that his second brother had always been a talentless
bloke and would freak out over the smallest things. Hence, Noah had no clue that William was not
blood-related to them.
âHe wants you home?â Pepper smiled.
âTo hell with it! Noah has always been a wimp, weâll just go enjoy the show.â
John and Pepper headed straight for Maple Villa. With his status, he was easily let in. Upon reaching
Alexâs villa, however, there wasnât a single person in sight.
Just then, Noah called again. âJohn, where are you?! Why arenât you back yet?â
John raged at his persistence. âWhatâs up with you? You may have a ton of free time, but Iâm a busy
man.â
Noah fumbled over his words hastily, âJohn, please, you have to come back home now, no matter how
busy you are. Both your son and wife are in a coffin, and my wife and daughter are in there too.â
âWhat? My son died?!â
He couldnât be bothered even if Olivia fell into a ditch and died.
âNot yet. But if you don t come home now, then things would be much worse. Both Alex and Brittany
are here.â
âAlex? Isnât he dead already?â
âNo! Heâs well and alive!â
âOh f*ck!â
John felt as if his heart had dropped into his stomach after the call ended. It was as if he was about to
hook up with an ethereal beauty and even with the additional pills to heat things up, he realized that the
beauty was a trap all along.
âAlex isnât dead yet?â
Pepperâs eyes lit up. She didnât seem disappointed at all but instead looked extremely delighted.
âDoesnât that mean that the Ancient Medicine is still with him?â
