Chapter 1189
"Mom, what are you talking about? You're lying to me! | am a child of the noble Clements family! Not a b*stard of
sf*cking jacka*s!" "It's not real; it's not!"
"He is a murderer! | must avenge Dad! Avenge..."
Mason was losing his mind as he kept squirming, screaming, talking to himself. "No, I'm a Clements, a flesh and
blood of the Clements family!"
The two scuffled, fighting over the gun in the blink of an eye. On the other side, Hallie supported Penny; the two
were obviously fear-stricken, sobbing as they shouted and flailed. The massive mansion was enveloped in
gloominess in the silent night.
A loud bang, and a scream lacerated the night the next second. "Ah..."
Following that, deadly silence!
Penny slowly opened her eyes to see Steve curled up on the ground, moaning in pain. Across him, Mason's face
was covered in blood, his hand, midair, shaking non-stop. The gun was thrown far away from them. As her vision
expanded, the group of people standing at the door magnified. As the blood drained from her face, Penny
slumped to the ground.
Frederick? Ga-Gary? When have they all come?!
No! She was done for!
"Mom!"
Hallie instinctively grabbed her mother as she screamed, fearful, shedding floods of tears. "Mom, don't scare
me!"
The glass called silence shattered in a flash, and everyone regained their senses. Mason was the first to speak
up as he jerked two steps back, pointing his hand at Steve.
"Uncle Gary, Frederick, he's the one who killed Dad! | saw it with my own eyes! He's a murderer, and he wants to
slanderand kill me! Catch him, catch him!" "Shut up, Mason!"
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtPropping herself up, Penny roared with trembling lips, shedding floods of tears, "Shut the hell up!"
Just then, Steve was pressing his bleeding arm when the police officers in uniform cin and handcuffed him.
At the stime, another office took out leg cuffs to cuff his legs. They'd obviously cprepared, treating
Steve a felon. The piercing sound of the chains was particularly harsh against the massive mansion and the
silent night. On the other hand, the evidence technicians had got to working, sealing the gun in an evidence bag
and taking fingerprints, footprints, and blood samples.
Watching a group of strangers crossing the barricade tape, Penny, Hallie, and Mason's faces changed a few
times.
Hallie immediately panicked when she saw them sealing the stairs off. "Hey, what are you guys doing?! This is
my home! My room is upstairs!"
How could she go upstairs if they sealed the area off?! Her money and items were still up there!
Just then, a couple of officers stopped her, and a middle-aged man in plain clothes with a work badge hung
around his neck went up to her.
"I'm sorry, Miss. This place is now suspected of major kidnapping, robbery, and attempted murder. This is the
first crscene, so we have the right to seal off the area to collect evidence! We will collect the evidence as
fast as possible and unseal the area. But before that, please don't obstruct us from handling the case, and don't
enter, touch, or take anything from there without permission, or we will charge and legally detain you for
obstructing justice and tampering with evidence.
The man waved his hand, and several officers sealed off other areas. They got down to work, but Hallie dared
not approach the crscene anymore.
Meanwhile, Gary whispered to a man in a suit, and an officer handed the suspect to a few men in black as he
waved his hand and checked the time. "Okay! You guys have half an hour! Seal the mansion off and take
evidence outside first!"
As everyone exited, the front door closed, and the guards in black all retreated. Following that, with Carson's
support, Christian, who
was livid with rage, walked slonet
toward the group with the help of a walking stick.
"You're alive? How is it possible?!"
Steve growled in pain as his eyes bulged, obviously shocked and unwilling to admit defeat! His actions caused
his handcuffs and legcuffs to rattle.
With a glance from Frederick, Chet, who had been pinning Steve down, pressed his hand on Steve's wounded
arm, leading him to break out in a cold sweat on his forehead from the pain. "Aargh... No..."
Penny, who was equally incredulous, was also dumbstruck. "Hubby... You..."
Even Hallie and Mason could not hide their shock. "Dad? Aren't you..."
"Dad, you're okay!"
As the walking stick made a loud thump every tit hit the ground, the veins of the hand holding it bulged.
Christian roared, "Don't callthat!"
He swept his bloodshot eyes across the room and landed on Penny. "Why? Have | not treated you well? Why are
you doing this?"
Although only the Clements and those involved were left, it still felt like a public trial.
Shaking her head incessantly, Penny staggered a step forward, wanting to grab her husband's hand. "Christian, I-
However, Christian flung her hand away and said with a cold, mournful, and profound tone. "Everything is now
laid in the open; what else do you want to say?"
Shocked, Penny's face turned pale,
and a bad feeling welled up in her heart. She moved her lips for a long tbut only shed floods of tears.
Meanwhile, sensing something, Hallie cforward.
"Dad, don't do this, please! Don't let people deceive you; don't listen to their nonsense! Mom cares a lot about
you! She must have a good reason!" Pushing Hallie away, Christian closed his eyes this tand said with a
heavy heart, "Lawyer Clark!
Lawyer McGowan!"
Then, two men cforward with their briefcases, "Mr. Christian..."
"From now on, my marriage with
Penny will be dissolved! Liquidate all the assets and debts; Besides her private property, she will be given thirty
million alimony! The Clements family had split; none of my spouse, children, and, or siblings have the right to
succeed in all the assets, companies, and stock under my name. From the day I die, it will all be gifted to my
eldest grandson, Clinton Clements. He can only officially assall of it when he's 25 and has settled down.
Before that day comes, my eldest son, Frederick, will manage on his behalf. If an accident occurs, the next eldest
grandson in line will supersede. If none, it will all be donated to the Clements Group Charitable Foundation for
charitable causes!"
Everyone stirred at Christian's announcement.
"Dad, what about me?"
