Chapter 281 Claire Got Shot?
"You!!! What did you say? Control me?" Damian walked slowly towards his uncle with a terrifying look.
Making his uncle frown.
"Yeah! I said control yourself! Look at you! You're acting like a madman because of a woman? Who doesn't even deserve it?!" said the Uncle who wasn't scared and didn't budge.
Damian walked closer and closer to his uncle, while Allan, who did not accept Eve being called inappropriate, was about to speak but was then surprised because Damian suddenly shouted.
"Inappropriate you say? She is far more than deserving than you! You're the one who doesn't belong here! It's not Eve! Eve's an honorable woman! She's always taken good care of herself! And she's never taken advantage of me! She wants to be friends with me without even knowing who I am! She accepts me for who I am! As for you? You and your wife took care of me for nothing more than because I'm the heir to my family's entire estate! My father's entire legacy! You think I don't know what you're doing behind my back, heh? I know everything! But I kept quiet! Because I thought maybe it was payback for you taking care of me all these years! But that wasn't enough! You wanted to control me! From the time I was a child until now! I even know that you deliberately set me up with Claire so that you could steer me through her, right? You're greedy! Because I know what Claire promised you and what you promised Claire! Isn't that right, my dear uncle?" said Damian with frighteningly sharp eyes.
Uncle Dixon flushed and fell silent.
"You're wrong, Damian! We're not like that! We just want what's best for you!"
Suddenly Damian, who was staring at his uncle, laughed, "Hahaha...Best you say? You're such a funny uncle!"
Damian then moved closer to his uncle, getting closer, making his uncle take a few steps back.
"Wh-what are you going to do, Damian? Remember, I'm your uncle! Back off!"
Uncle Dixon shouted and backed up even more, almost falling over as he hit one of the sofas.
Damian didn't stop and continued to walk towards his uncle with a glare.
Then Damian found himself reaching into his trouser pocket to play a recording from his mobile phone. A conversation between a man and a woman that seemed to be his uncle's voice with a voice that was presumed to be Claire.
"If you can get engaged to my niece and have her sign this letter, then I will save your father's company from ruin and also give you a very large sum of money that is enough for you to live on for generations to come, how about it? Are you willing?"
"What is this letter Uncle Dixon? A diversion? From Damian Lion to Dixon Lions? What do you mean Uncle?"
"Well, it's a letter transferring power and handing over my brother-in-law's entire estate to me! I've had enough of looking after him, that fool! I thought that once she was gone, then I could take control of her estate, but no! Turns out she was clever, drawing up a trust deed whereby her estate would go to her only son Damian once he became a full-fledged adult at the age of 30 or after he got married! If not, then her entire estate would go to an orphanage entirely! Looks like she suspected me from the start! And unfortunately I can't wait that long! I waited so long, I even deliberately wrecked the car my brother-in-law was driving! But that fool kept on living! Until he finally died from the poison I slowly administered! Hahaha... Damian is only 28 years old, still two years away! I can't wait any longer! That's why you have to get married somehow! And get him to sign the papers! No matter what! Do you understand?"
Click!
Damian switched off the recording. Staring at his uncle's face in disappointment.
"Why? Why Uncle? Why did you kill my father? What did we do to you?" Damian asked with a disappointed look.
Suddenly, a glass fell. There was the pale face of Uncle Dixon's wife Auntie staring at her husband.
"You...killed my brother? And you know this? Claire?" Claire froze and shook her head.
"I'm not...." Claire tried to answer suddenly.
Plak!
Aunt Damian's hand slapped her. "You lowly woman! How could you...and you? The husband I trusted killed my brother? Your own brother-in-law?"
Aunt Damian suddenly staggered, and seemed to be about to fall.
"Aunty!!!" Damian ran after her and caught her just as she was about to hit the floor.
"Aunty calm down, you better drink first, don't think about anything! Why are you silent, hurry up and get me a drink, Claire!" Damian shouted.
The silent Claire pointed at herself, "Me? Why me?"
Damian stared at her with an annoyed look, "Ok! Ok! I'm just asking!"
Claire hurriedly walked over and got a drink for her aunt. Claire handed Damian a glass of water.
"Aunty! Snap out of it! Drink the water first!" Damian patted his aunt's cheek lightly and gave the drink to his aunt, who turned out to be Damian's father's younger sister.
After downing her drink the aunt looked at her nephew with a sad look, "Forgive your aunt, dear. I didn't know that your Uncle Dixon was so greedy! He even took my brother's life! Hik Hik Hik..forgive Aunty! You've suffered a lot because of my husband's actions! And I could only keep quiet because I thought he did everything he did all this time because he loved you! It turns out...."
Aunt Damian covered her face sobbing, she didn't expect her husband to be that evil. And what made her sick was that he kept quiet!
Damian hugged his aunt and comforted her, "It's okay Bi! It's because you didn't know! It's not your fault! It's a good thing we found out sooner!"
His aunt continued to cry as she nodded slowly.
"Aish! You should be thanking me! If it wasn't for the tape I gave Damian, you wouldn't have known the truth! I'm the one with the most credit here!" Claire angrily spoke but this was heard by everyone including Uncle Damian who had fallen silent.
Suddenly everyone stared at Claire and Claire who realized it closed her mouth, "Oops! I think...I mean..."
The uncle picked up the rifle that was displayed not far from where he was standing, and pointed it at Claire who was frozen.
"You stupid woman! So you're the one who broke it, huh? How much did my nephew pay you? Did you expect more? Fool! He won't give it to you! I thought you were a smart woman but, it turns out...you're just as stupid as my nephew! So you deserve to be together! Hahaha..." Uncle Dixon suddenly cocked the gun and pointed it at Claire and Damian.
Claire was terrified while Damian stared with a look of hatred in his eyes.
As one of the bullets flew at Claire, Claire screamed while closing her eyes.
Dorr!!!
"Akhhhh!!!"
Tap!
Claire fell to the floor along with a rifle that slipped out of her grasp onto the floor.
