Chapter 363 Taking the Initiative to Strike

In a private room tucked in one corner of the elderly home, Lionel asked Saul, his face dark, There’s no

one else here, so tell me. What on earth happened?”

“Dad! This happened…” Saul carefully gave his father an account of what had happened.

Right after he finished recounting, Lionel slapped him in the face.

“You bastard! Didn’t I remind you not to move too fast and that you should expand your businesses slo

wly? I also told you to make sure that our properties aren’t exposed, didn’t I?

‘But what happened now? Caspian came across them! If the Inspector General’s Office investigates us,

we’re done for!” Lionel barked.

“I’ve already dealt with this, Dad. Eric shouldered all the blame instead of us,” Saul said, cradling his ch

eek that was tingling with pain. NôvelDrama.Org © 2024.

Right after he finished speaking, he was slapped once again.

“Moron! Do you think everything will be settled after you make Eric the scapegoat? Would Caspian buy

that? Would the Inspector General’s Office buy that?

“I’m Willow’s grandpa, but that means nothing! What will you do if the

authorities want to investigate the family?” Lionel cursed.

Saul was stunned. He dared not say more, fearing his words would further fuel Lionel’s rage.

Noticing Saul’s silence, Lionel slapped him again.

“Idiot! Don’t you usually have a lot to say? Why are you as quiet as a mouse now,

huh?”

“I…” Saul was stunned. He looked helpless. He would be slapped whether he opened his mouth or kep

t silent, so what should he do?

Jessica was stunned as well. She quickly interjected, “Grandpa, stop hitting Dad. We’re in a dire situati

on right now, so we should think of a plan to get the family through this crisis before everything else!

“All the properties under the family have been sealed up by Lincoln Zott and the others. The Inspector

General’s Office has already intervened!!

Lionel was shocked to hear that. He, too, had no idea how to deal with

this. They would be in deep trouble if the authorities had started investigating them.

At this moment, Saul’s phone rang.

“What? Are you so useless that you lost him? You’re all useless. I’ll deal with you once I get back!” Saul

looked even more grim after ending the call.

“What’s wrong?” Lionel asked.

“Dad, I have some bad news. Someone took Eric’s wife and daughter!” Saul said, terrified.

“What? You useless bastard!” Lionel was trembling with rage. He raised his hand, about to hit Saul onc

e again, but the latter moved far away before he could.

“Dad, stop hitting me! My face will be so swollen if you hit me again!” Saul said pitiably, feeling wronged

. Both sides of his face were already swollen. His looks would be totally wrecked if he was slapped agai

n.

Lionel had a hand over his chest as he bit out, “You’re all useless morons!”

He had made the wrong choice when he decided to hand the responsibility of managing the family dow

n to Saul.

“We must quickly think of a solution, Grandpa! Eric’s wife and daughter were rescued, so he no longer

has anything to worry about. If he turns on us, we’ll be in serious trouble!” Jessica grimly said as tears

welled up in her eyes. She was afraid now.

The three of them exchanged looks and fell silent. The Masseys would really

be in a difficult situation now.

Lionel felt despair like he had never felt before. Saul was to blame for everything happening now. They

would not be in this hopeless situation if Saul had not sold Eric out.

Lionel glared at Saul malevolently.

Feeling Lionel’s sharp gaze on him, Saul trembled in fear.

If not for the fact that Saul was his only son, Lionel would have killed Saul–how useless he was!

After some consideration, Lionel steeled his heart. “We can’t just sit and wait for our demise. We must t

ake the initiative and strike!!

The Masseys would not stand by and watch. Waiting for their demise was the dumbest choice they cou

ld make. If Caspian wanted to take action against the Masseys, they had to choose to retaliate.

“Dad, do you mean we’re retaliating against Caspian? But don’t they all say he has a

mysterious identity? Soldiers have come to his aid before. Can we really win against him if we act rashl

y?” Saul asked.

He had also heard some rumors about Caspian. Caspian had served in the army, but no one knew wha

t position he had assumed.

If he called his comrades over to help, the Masseys would be in deep trouble. If they dared to act rashly

, they were practically paving their own path to death.

“Don’t worry, Dad. I’ll surely deal with Lincoln properly!” Saul quickly answered.

Saul was worried now. He had only managed to become the head of the family after a difficult. challenge

Something flickered in Jessica’s eyes. However, she did not express what was on her mind.

“That’s all. You two can leave and start the preparations,” Lionel said with a wave of his hand.

After Saul and Jessica left, a strange smirk appeared on Lionel’s face. The Masseys had exposed thems

Given more time, the family could have assumed control over the entire criminal underworld. in Southlak

The Masseys needed to make adjustments as soon as possible, or they would be in deep

trouble.

Lionel was disappointed in his son, who had turned out to be less capable than he wished.

Suddenly, a man clad in black from head to toe appeared in the room. He made no sound at all, not eve
