Chapter 97: Stop Fighting
Steven was completely dazed.
What nonsense was Oliver spouting now?
"What are you talking about? Hurry up and pull me out! This cemetery is suffocating me, I can barely breathe!"
He had no idea which heartless person had thrown him in here and left just a small gap in the coffin - just enough for him to breathe.
Oliver's look at Steven became even more suspicious.
Why would a perfectly fine person be lying in a cemetery for no reason?
Moreover, the Johnson family's cemetery was two city districts away from the Smith family's cemetery!
"Steven, well well, so you had someone renovate my old house just to buy it for yourself, huh? Let me tell you, this cemetery belongs to my mother, and you must return it to me!"
The more Oliver thought about it, the more it made sense. Why would Lucas secretly renovate the Smith family's old house without telling them?
Steven must have had his eye on the Smith family's old house and cemetery all along, trying to seize the opportunity to take it!
"Are you sick? I told you I don't know why I'm here either."
"You think I'm an idiot? You show up at my mother's cemetery holding your mother's ashes - isn't it to secretly bury your Johnson family people here and steal the good fortune that's been passed down through generations in our Smith family?"
"You even had Lucas renovate our old house, all for this cemetery! Is that Martin guy one of your people?"
"What are you babbling about? When did I ever tell my son to renovate your old house? Your family's broken-down old house, renovate it? Yeah right."
Steven climbed out of the coffin, his whole body aching badly.
He had no pleasant expression for Oliver standing before him.
Just as he was about to leave with the urn in his hands, Steven thought of something and moved his feet back to the edge of the cemetery.
"You say this is a place blessed by God, well since I'm already here, I might as well bury my mother right here."
Oliver let out a cold laugh.
"I knew you had bad intentions! You think you can scheme against our family in every way possible and I won't notice at all?"
"Who's scheming against your family?"
What does the Smith family have now that's worth his attention? Would he covet Oliver's massive debts?
"You want to bury your mother here? Dream on!"
He knew Steven had his eye on this cemetery being a place blessed by God, wanting this land to bless the Johnson family. Fat chance!
Steven was also eyeing this land. Seeing Oliver's reaction, this plot must be in a very good location. If it could really bless future generations with great wealth, then finding a way to take it wasn't out of the question.
With this thought, Steven simply sat down on the ground.
"You say this cemetery belongs to your family - what proof do you have?"
There was no tombstone around the cemetery, and even the coffin was empty. There wasn't a single thing that could prove the identity of the cemetery's owner.
Oliver was stunned!
That heartless woman Catherine didn't even put up a tombstone when she buried Elodie!
"You say this is your mother's cemetery, but there's nothing inside and no tombstone. What makes it yours? I was just lying in the coffin, so now I'm going to say this cemetery is mine!"
Oliver's eyes widened, and he rolled up his sleeves, ready to rush up and slap Steven twice.
"Well well! You've finally admitted it - you've been scheming in every way to plot against our family and seize this cemetery from me!"
The problem was, the ownership of this cemetery wasn't even his right now!
That damn Martin must be Steven's man. They colluded to scheme against the Smith family, trying to seize this cemetery from him.
"Well, you already said it's mine, so it's mine now. You can all get lost!"
Steven was about to put his mother's urn into the coffin, fully intending to claim this good cemetery plot as his own.
Oliver was furious. He grabbed Steven's mother's urn and threw it down the mountain!
"Oliver, are you crazy! Those are my mother's ashes! I'm going to fight you!"
Steven had a very good relationship with his mother. Now that Oliver had gone mad and thrown away his mother's urn, Steven lost it on the spot.
He slapped Oliver on the head, hitting the already injured Oliver so hard his vision went black.
"Steven, you dare hit me? I'm going to fight you!"
Seeing the two of them wrestling together, Clara and Celeste on the side were extremely anxious. They wanted to break up the fight but worried about getting hurt themselves.
Declan and Anouk took the opportunity to bury the urns they were holding.
They were all getting on in years and had only come along for their own matters. Who knew where Elodie had been carelessly thrown now?
Oliver roared, "Where did you bury my mother?"
"I don't care where your mother is. You just threw away my mother's urn - I'm going to beat you to death today!"
Clara was so anxious tears came down.
"Dad, Steven, please stop fighting."
Steven was angry at the sight of anyone from the Smith family now. "What are you crying about? Let me tell you, if you want to marry Lucas, dream on! Did you really think our Johnson family would accept a woman picked up from the trash!"
Hearing Clara being insulted, Celeste couldn't hold back either. She walked up and kicked Steven in the waist.
After the rain, the mud around the cemetery was especially loose, with mud everywhere. Steven's feet slipped, and he grabbed Oliver as they both rolled down the slope!
Clara screamed as she watched the two men roll down the cemetery hill locked together!
Oliver and Steven's screams rose and fell, alerting the patrol. Flashlight beams from down the mountain suddenly shone over, and the several people on the hill quickly bent down to hide.
Unfortunately, Charles had arranged over a dozen patrol guards with the most advanced equipment, and they quickly found them.
"Who's there?"
"Take them away!"
Celeste, along with Declan, Anouk, and Clara, were all arrested by the patrol guards who called the police. Oliver and Steven, who had rolled down the cemetery hill together, were also sent to the hospital in an ambulance.
When the call came to Lucas's phone, he was flirting with several lovers, his face covered in lipstick marks.
"What? You're saying my dad was beaten by Oliver? And pushed down a cliff? What exactly happened?"
"You should come to the hospital first. Your father is seriously injured."
"Okay, okay, I'll be right there."
Lucas put on his pants while calling Molly, and they both rushed to the hospital.
As soon as they arrived at the hospital, they saw Oliver and Steven lying in beds, sighing deeply. Both their faces were covered in wounds without a single good spot - a terrible sight.
"What exactly happened?"
Clara looked at Lucas tearfully, wanting to complain, but then noticed his face was covered in lipstick marks and he reeked of perfume!
"Lucas, what exactly have you been doing behind my back?"
Molly slapped Clara across the face and said angrily, "Why are you talking so much? You're not even married into the family yet and you want to control so much? Now quickly explain what crazy thing your father did? Let me tell you, this isn't over today!"
