Chapter 267: A Celebration Too Soon

Donald glared at Eric menacingly. "Well, kid, I underestimated you! But I’m not worried, because even if I have to spend my life in prison, you won’t get to live well either!"

Blood Wolf laughed arrogantly. "Eric! You think your tricks are clever? We have more up our sleeves!"

"Eric! I’ll do everything I can to make sure you die a miserable death!" Donald screamed, his eyes bloodshot with rage.

Ever since he became infatuated with Grace, he had gone mad! He sacrificed everything to please her. Money and reputation meant nothing to him; they couldn’t tame his heart, which was filled with resentment.

Eric’s eyes flashed coldly as he landed a punch squarely on Donald’s face, knocking out a tooth that rolled across the floor.

The onlookers watched the scene with disbelief, viewing these fallen men with cold detachment.

If Donald had managed Taylor Group well, he would have had plenty of money and everything to enjoy, but he chose this unusual path instead.

The criminal mind truly operates differently!

"You still think you can taunt me? Do you really believe you can stab me in the back? Donald, your underground bank, money laundering operation, and drug trafficking ring have all been taken down! What other tricks do you have left? Go ahead, show me!"

Eric growled fiercely. "If you even dare to breathe another word, I’ll make sure you can’t call yourself a man anymore!"

Donald, enraged, lunged forward but was held back tightly by Paul. "Uncle! You’ve wreaked havoc for years; the Taylor family will settle the score with you! You’ve ruined the Taylor Group, and I bet Grandpa is turning in his grave. Come back and face the music!"

Donald glared furiously at his nephew. "You bastard, let go of me! I want to kill him!"

Eric landed another punch, splitting Donald’s lip. This time, Donald merely gasped, staring at the furious Eric.

"You’re a fool, still not realizing you’ve been played by a woman for decades! Ha! Grace only loves James. If you think you can get her to join you in prison, think again... She’ll be by James’s side for the rest of her life! You risked your life for her, but she won’t appreciate it. You probably haven’t even touched her finger in over a decade, have you?" Eric said contemptuously, sarcasm dripping from his words.

"Yeah, Mr. Nelson, there are indeed fools like him. He’s sitting in jail while Grace will be out in a few years..."

The other men laughed, mocking Donald’s stupidity.

Donald, filled with despair and fear, howled like a wounded animal. "Shut up! Just shut up!"

He was filled with hopelessness. After all he had sacrificed, he had never won Grace’s heart!

"Just sit in your cell. Grace is probably at home getting pampered right now! Come on, guys, let’s celebrate tonight! It’s on me!" Eric chuckled lightly, casually dusting off his sleeves as he turned to leave with Mark and the others.

Blood Wolf regretted not being more cautious. He had been brainwashed by Donald and had followed his orders without question.

The main goal was to eliminate Eric, so no one could prosecute him and Donald, but he didn’t expect to walk right into their trap—inviting the enemy into their own lair!

Now, if he had been more level-headed... the outcome would have been different!

...

Ella was anxious at home until Eric’s voice came through the phone, filled with warmth and tenderness, instantly easing her racing heart.

She genuinely worried about Eric’s plan failing; if it resulted in mutual destruction or worse, he could even lose his life.

After all, facing someone as reckless and dangerous as Donald felt like walking on eggshells!

"How’s it going? Are you worried about me? Looks like my dear wife really loves me!" Eric chuckled wickedly on the other end.

Ella couldn’t help but smile. If he was in the mood for joking, then the S plan must be going smoothly!

His voice was both soft and sexy, and she could picture his handsome face, those sharp features softened by warmth, making her feel overwhelmed with emotion.

"Are you really okay? You’re not hurt anywhere, right?" Ella asked, still anxious. The Blood Wolf group was ruthless, having committed many crimes in Country S, yet they had never been caught!

"Really, I’m fine. No need for any weapons. It’s pretty surreal, right? I’m on my way to pick you up so we can all celebrate together!"

Tears of joy welled in Ella’s eyes. "I’ll wait for you!"

She held the phone tightly, filled with excitement as the call ended.

This plan was going so well, perhaps thanks to his volatile personality. But suddenly, Ella sensed something was off.

Where were Mia and Owen? They had been right there with her, ensuring her safety, afraid of even the slightest danger!

She turned quickly, only to see Mrs. Harris approaching with a gun!

"Mrs. Harris!" Ella exclaimed, confused.

Wasn’t Mrs. Harris someone Eric hired? Why was she acting like this?

"Come with me, or I’ll put a bullet in you!" Mrs. Harris said with a cruel smile, excitement gleaming in her eyes.

Ella took a deep breath, trying to stay calm. "Where are Mia and Owen?"

Mrs. Harris’s voice sharpened. "Heh, it’s too late to notice they’re gone!"

That voice no longer sounded like Mrs. Harris. Ella’s heart raced—this woman wasn’t who she seemed!

"Who are you?" Ella demanded, her voice low. The woman stepped closer, pressing the gun to Ella’s head. "No more questions, just move!"

Reluctantly, Ella stood up and walked outside.

Aside from Mia and Owen, there were two security guards at the entrance.

But the woman could easily disguise herself for a moment, making it hard to raise suspicion!

What should she do?

Ella’s palms were sweaty with fear.

This was her first encounter with such a dangerous situation, and it had come out of nowhere; she had no idea how to handle it!

If this woman was impersonating Mrs. Harris, then something must have happened to Mrs. Harris!

"You’ve had special training, haven’t you? Otherwise, how could you get in here?" Ella said quietly, trying not to provoke her.

The woman smirked, her expression holding a rebelliousness that Mrs. Harris never had!

Ella rarely heard Mrs. Harris speak these days. Mrs. Harris was a quiet person., so she didn’t pay much attention to it. Unexpectedly...

"Of course, so you’d better behave, or I won’t hesitate to pull the trigger!"
