Chapter 186 Let's See Who Gets Killed First
Melvin froze and was rooted to the ground. He stared at the pistol on his waist and took two steps
back.
Seth was surprised. He had never expected Kendrick to raise a gun on such an occasion. This was
evidently a provocation and declaration of war. Kendrick didn't take anyone seriously. Was he going to
rebel? Did he still want to have the Ramsey Group?
Many thoughts came across his mind in an instant, but Seth was experienced, so he raised his eyes
slightly and said with feigned composure, "Kendrick, put down your gun."
Kendrick pointed the pistol at Melvin and ordered him expressionlessly, "Get back to your seat."
Melvin recovered from the shock and glanced at his father. Suddenly, he got bold and said, "I dare you
to shoot me. Come on. Shoot me."
He pointed his finger at Kendrick defiantly and said provocatively, "Shoot me and my father today, and
you will have the Ramsey group. I dare you to do that."
The tension in the air was intense.
The bodyguards in the mansion filed in.
They formed a crowd in the living room.
Reuben had edged to the back and planned to hide under the table if there was a fight.
Seth slapped the table and said, "Put down your gun. Do you hear me?"
Natalie suddenly uttered, "Grandfather!" She dashed up to Kendrick and stood between them to
alleviate the menacing presence of Seth. She said calmly, "Please ask Melvin to go back to his seat."
Why did Seth force Kendrick to put down the gun?
It was Melvin who started it.
Since Kendrick got injured last time, his contradiction with Melvin had been intensifying. They didn't
have to pretend they cared about each other in front of everyone. The whole Ramsey Group knew
about the discord between the two of them and started to take sides.
Natalie believed that Kendrick would shoot Melvin.
She couldn't hide behind Kendrick and let things go out of control.
It was not something she wished for.
Natalie said slowly to Seth, "Melvin started it first. He framed Kendrick and seriously injured him.
Kendrick has to put on guard against him."
She paused and continued in a choked voice, "Kendrick's movement is impaired, so he has to protect
himself with the pistol. You know well that he is not reckless. Please ask Melvin to step back, and I'll
ask Kendrick to put down the pistol."
Natalie stretched out her hand, beckoning Kendrick to give her the pistol.
Seth stared at her and pressed his lips tightly. He admired her for keeping her composure and
explaining it for her husband. She had saved everyone from embarrassment.
Seth agreed. "Melvin, go back to your seat."
Melvin pursed his lips arrogantly.
He didn't believe that Kendrick dared to shoot him.
He was Kendrick's uncle.
Kendrick couldn't shoot his elders.
He thought Kendrick was bluffing.
Melvin wouldn't step back.
He would see who would win.
"If you don't want to die, go back to your seat," Natalie suddenly said. The pistol was in her hand, and
she pointed it at Melvin, looking at him with fierce eyes. "I'll count to three."
When she took the pistol, Kendrick slipped the safety catch back, lest she would get hurt.
To his surprise, Natalie took the pistol and pointed it at Melvin.
Damn it.
Reuben screamed inwardly for help and curled up under the table with fright.
Kendrick was stunned.
"One..." Natalie thumbed off the safety catch of the pistol and put her fingers on the trigger, aiming at
Melvin.
He was a big living target at short range.
Shooting him was much easier than shooting the moving target at the shooting range.
She could even let the bullet whistle past his ear and shoot the vase behind him.
"What a crazy woman! If you dare to shoot me today, I'll..."
"Two..."
Yes, she was a crazy woman today.
She wished to kill him with potshots.
Melvin suddenly flinched at her cold and fierce gaze. His legs went soft, and he plopped on the chair
next to Seth, panting heavily.
He had calculated inwardly. Kendrick was his nephew, and it was immoral to shoot at a relative.
But Natalie was not.
She was a crazy woman with heart disease who would be driven out of the Ramsey family.
She was fearless.
Melvin thought she was dealt a heavy blow, judging from her expression. Published by Nôv'elD/rama.Org.
She might lose her head and shoot him.
"Enough." Seth turned ashen. He failed to figure out what was going on. He took a deep breath and
said in a deep voice, "Natalie, you're a girl. Aren't you afraid to hurt yourself? What if the gun goes off
by accident?"
He saw the determination and murderous intent in her eyes, so he stretched out his hand calmly. "Give
me the pistol."
Natalie put down the pistol and slipped the safety catch back, unloading the gun skillfully like a gun
expert.
She put the gun and bullets on the table. "Grandfather, I'm sorry for disturbing you. It's an instinct to
protect myself from the danger."
Seth was an experienced old man, and he had witnessed indoor gunshots dozens of times, but this
was the first time it had happened to his family. He turned livid and frowned deeply.
Melvin shouted, "Dad, look, they are crazy. They dare to pull guns in front of you. They don't respect
you at all."
Seth didn't handle Kendrick's injury fairly last time. He only suspended Melvin from his position without
taking away his shares.
Ever since then, Kendrick integrated semiconductor amps with artificial intelligence, and he had made
a big progress.
Seth didn't think he should dishearten Kendrick now.
Therefore, he said sullenly, "Shut up. All of you can leave now. Kendrick, stay behind."
It seemed he wanted to have a talk with Kendrick alone.
Kendrick thought for a while and knew what Seth was going to say.
He refused, "It's too late today. Grandfather, please go to bed first. You can discuss it with Natalie and
me in the daytime tomorrow."
If he stayed, Natalie would get suspicious.
Kendrick didn't want to do that.
Seth was speechless.
He took some cardiac medicines at night, lest he would die of anger sooner or later.
Kendrick was the ideal heir.
Seth expected him to be ruthless and put the interest of the group before anything else.
Why did Kendrick suddenly change?
Seth rose slowly in anger. He waved and said resentfully, "Go ahead. Let's see who gets killed first."
...
Kendrick's bodyguards swarmed into the living room to escort them away.
The farce paused for the time being.
It was only the first act.
There would be the second and third acts.
Natalie stood in the empty living room and looked at the ancient and grand decorations. It was like a
dream.
Her strength seemed to be drained out of her body, and she felt exhausted as if she had just acted in a
blockbuster movie. The lamp shone on her head, and she gritted her teeth, feeling a mixture of
complicated emotions.
At the same time, she felt greatly relieved.
It seemed something heavy had been removed from her shoulders.
Kendrick reached out to hold her hand and said, "Let's go back."
"I want to take a walk."
He didn't object and asked the bodyguards to follow them.
