âMr. Rockefeller, Alex is a fighter, and a pretty skilled one too. He must be fuming now, and it would be
dangerous to meet him without any backup. I know a guy. Heâs a fairly skilled fighter too. Itâd be better if
I asked him to back us up.â
âAlright!â
Pepper immediately dialed Baldyâs number.
She started planning in her head immediately. Since Alex wasnât dead yet, it could only mean that he
still had the medicine with him, and she would be able to take it from him forcefully.
She knew she didnât have the skills to snatch it from the Yowells. However, if it was just Alex that she
had to deal with, everything felt much more comfortable.
At the same time, a crowd had formed around the coffin at the Rockefeller Manor.
Almost everyone in the manor had come out to watch. The maids, guards, and even Paige and her
husband rushed out as soon as they got the news.
Paige stomped her feet in fury. âHow dare you, Brittany? You âve gone too far⦠Youâve crossed the
line! How dare you lock them up in a coffin? Do you not have a single sense of humanity left? How
inhumane are you?â
Brittany wasnât fazed by Paige at all. âYou should speak for yourself, as well as every Rockefeller in this
household. If it werenât for your big brother, and if it werenât for me, none of you would be living such
blissful lives. Look at you. Givenchy outfit, Prada purse⦠Youâre even wearing Cartier accessories.
Your whole outfit costs millions. Do you think youâd be able to wear such luxury with your own abilities?
All of this was because of how hard your brother and I had to work for the family.â
âBesides, when you were nineteen, you almost ended up in a pyramid scheme just because you
wanted to meet up with an online friend. Who was the one who risked his life to save you? Your big
brother, William! He ended up with a scar on his back because of you! If you have any sense of
humanity at all, do you even remember that happening?â
âIâm the inhumane one? Reflect on yourself!â
Paige fell silent, and her face went dark at Brittanyâs harsh mockery. She didnât know what else to say.
Brittany turned to Noah. âAnd you! Youâre the weakest among all the Rockefeller brothers. Youâre the
softest hearted too! Every time you were bullied, William was the one who stood up for you. If it werenât
for your brother, why would the Hamiltons give Mariahâs hand in marriage to you? And how did you
repay him? The moment your brother died, you agreed to drive us out of the Rockefeller family. Do you
know how much my son had to endure? Whereâs your sense of humanity, huh?â
Noah was trembling. âThat.. that was fatherâs and Johnâs decision. I donât have a say in that.â
Brittany snapped in anger, âNo, youâre just plain useless.â
Lastly, she turned to Bill.
However, Bill had no remorse at all. All he did was glare at Brittany, and it was as if he wanted to skin
her alive and drain her of all blood. Hatred was seeping out of his soul.
Brittany knew that Bill was never fond of her, and he had been bad mouthing her behind her back too.
Now that William had passed, he spared no mercy.
Brittany took a glance at him, not saying a word. She knew that he wouldnât listen to a word she said.
The entire time this was happening, Waltz stood by Brittanyâs side, whereas Alex stood next to the
pond, not moving a muscle. He was staring at fishes as they swam freely, and his gaze was blank as if
he was in deep thought.
Suddenly, loud and fast-paced footsteps could be heard coming from the entrance.
Alex turned around as soon as John, Pepper, and a bald fighter barged into the manor.
John rushed in and noticed the bright red coffin. As terrified screams emanated from within it, Johnâs
blood boiled, and he raised his voice. âHow dare you, Brittany? Open the coffin right now and let them
go!â
Just then, Spark, who was still in the coffin, screamed for help. âDad, help me! Get me out of here! Iâm
going to die from suffocation!â
Carol yelled hysterically too. âUncle, please help! I⦠Iâm getting crushed!â
She was at the very bottom and hence had to endure the most weight as well.
Olivia screamed, âHoney, I canât take it anymore! I need to pee!â
The other three in the coffin gasped for air. The color drained from their faces. Olivia lay at the very top
of the human pile.
âIf she were to pee in there, wouldnât that mean theyâd be getting a golden shower?â
John immediately rushed over to open the coffin.
However, a delicate hand firmly pushed the coffin lid down. It was Waltz.
Her pinkish cherry lips curved into a soft smile. âNot yet.â
