Chapter 112 You Don't Have to Rely on God
Luo Jiu guessed that since Fred just said that he invited "the whole family", it meant that Jones and Anne must be nearby as well.
Luo Jiu must control the direction of events before Jones enters the door.
Her eyes quickly caught sight of the familiar license plate. Jones was standing there talking to a noble young master. Anne, who was playing nearby, turned her head and shouted excitedly, "Luo Jiu!"
She ran over and threw herself into Luo Jiu's arms, "I missed you guys so much!"
Jones's expression changed instantly, and he immediately said goodbye to the young master, lowering his voice and gritting his teeth and said, "How dare you appear in front of me again?"
Luo Jiu held Annie in his arms, gently rocking her and patting her back, with a slight smile on his face, "If possible, we don't want to appear in front of you. But someone is interfering and deliberately arranged for us to meet.
Colonel Jones, we have no choice. I need you to promise me that you will always keep our identities secret."
Jones was so angry that he laughed, "That's ridiculous! How can I promise you that?"
Luo Jiuyi raised his head and motioned him to look behind him.
The four girls hiding at the back of the car stuck their heads out, and Jones saw that they each had a small, exquisite pistol in their hands, pointing it steadily at him.
Jones was angry: "You threaten me?"
At a glance from Luo Jiu, Zhu Jiumei pointed the gun at Annie who had her back to them, and Jones's eyes suddenly became extremely nervous.
Luo Jiu stroked Annie's hair, "Colonel Jones, you have no choice."
Just like that, Luo Jiu waited outside holding Annie, while Jones entered the banquet hall alone with mixed feelings, ending the farce.
Perhaps Jones told Marian about this, making her think that Luo Jiu really wanted to kill Jones.
Recalling the worry in Marian's eyes, Luo Jiu really wanted to tell her that for her and the child's sake, they would not kill Jones or hurt Anne.
Everything is just an extraordinary measure taken in an extraordinary time.
She stood in the night breeze, lost in thought. Lan Qin came running over breathlessly, carrying a large and small food box. "I packed up all the food that Annie used to like... Where is she?"
"They're gone."
"Oh." Lan Qin lowered her eyes, with a hint of loss in her eyes.
Luo Jiu touched Lan Qin's head. These children were once Annie's playmates. Humans are not plants or trees, so who can be heartless?
Just as she was about to say a few words of comfort, Cheng Yaoyao ran out quickly, "Come in and take a look, Grant is dying."
Who? Luo Jiu almost doubted his ears.
In fact, Grant’s health was not good to begin with, and some of the diseases of affluence were particularly serious.
In addition, he was obese, loved eating, didn't like exercise, and was also old. What happened tonight made his heartbeat extremely irregular.
When he heard the news that Kayla was in critical condition due to a difficult labor, he turned pale and took a few steps back, then fell on his back.
Although the housekeeper and Charlotte supported him in time, he began to lose consciousness, his face turned blue, and his breathing was intermittent. It was obvious that he was on the verge of life and death.
While the doctor was trying to rescue Kayla, Zhong Jialing had to perform CPR on him while asking Cheng Yaoyao to call Luo Jiu.
Luo Jiu took two Angong Niuhuang Pills and ran upstairs, quickly giving one to Grant and one to Kayla respectively.
As the baby cried, Grant opened his eyes slightly.
"Dad!" Charlotte cried and hugged him, tears rolling down her face.
Grant gasped with great effort, his voice weak, "Poor Charlotte, my daughter, Daddy is leaving soon."
"No! Dad, I can't live without you." Charlotte held his old hand tightly, trying to keep him.
The doctor held the newborn baby in his arms and said, "Earl Grant, congratulations on having another daughter."
Grant nodded slightly, "Is Kayla okay?"
The doctor said: "Madam is very weak and temporarily unconscious, but there is no sign of heavy bleeding. She should be able to make it."
Grant held Charlotte's hand with his last bit of strength. "God didn't stand on our side and didn't give you a brother. My Charlotte, what will you do after I'm gone?"
Charlotte cried silently. She was just a young girl, facing all this suddenly, and she was already in a state of confusion.
The four of them stood aside, watching the scene of life and death, and their eyes turned red.
Luo Jiu comforted him softly: "Earl Grant, sometimes you don't have to rely on God in life, you can also rely on yourself. Please don't worry, we will help take care of them."
Grant raised his eyes, as if he saw a life-saving straw, and suddenly stretched out his hand to them with great effort.
The four of them hurried forward and held his hands. Grant looked at them with pleading eyes, "Please... please..."
He seemed to have a thousand words to say, but at the last moment, he could only repeat one word over and over again: please.
Luo Jiu said for him: "We will definitely stay with Charlotte and never let her be isolated and helpless, and never let her get hurt.
We will definitely help her get everything she deserves.”
After hearing what Luo Jiu said, Grant lowered his hands and slowly closed his eyes.
The crying in the house was earth-shaking, and the whole manor soon turned black and white.
The news of Grant's death spread quickly. Early the next morning, Fred's lawyer came to the door and demanded the immediate delivery of Grant's entire inheritance, including the title, land, houses, deposits, and everything in the manor.
At that time, Charlotte was dressed in plain clothes, her eyes were swollen from crying, and she smiled bitterly: "My father just passed away, and he can't hold back? Can't he wait until the funeral is over before he comes to humiliate us?"
Feng Qi stood up suddenly, grabbed the lawyer by the collar and dragged him out, "Didn't you hear me? Come back after the funeral."
The lawyer sat down on the ground and wanted to reprimand her, but when he saw Feng Qi's ferocious look, he ran away.
The funeral will be held in three days, and in three days I will start another life.
Charlotte sat in front of the window, not knowing how to face what was about to happen.
Luo Jiu knocked on the door and came in, "Want to talk?"
Charlotte nodded slightly. There was no light in the room, so the two of them sat by the window, whispering in the little light from the sky.
Charlotte: "Tell me, if I go and beg him now, will he let us go?"
Luo Jiu told her confidently, "No, you know better than us what kind of person Fred is. When has he ever been merciful?"
Charlotte smiled and sighed, "Yeah, I'd be crazy to think that. But I'm really desperate and there's nothing I can do."
Luo Jiu held her hand and said, "Actually, I have a solution."
Charlotte's eyes flashed, "What method?"
"Kill Fred."
"Kill him?" Charlotte whispered hurriedly. She covered her mouth and looked around, whispering, "It's useless. If he dies, there will be other distant relatives who will inherit. Those people may say some high-sounding words, but they will do the same thing as Fred."
Luo Jiu curled his lips, "Then keep killing them until they publicly give up their inheritance rights.
Until no one dares to fight for it, everything here will belong to you."
"Me?" Charlotte muttered, "But the law states that women cannot be heirs."
Luo Jiu patted her shoulder gently and said, "The law can be changed, but everything you deserve cannot be taken away by anyone."
Charlotte raised her head slightly, looked at Luo Jiu's determined eyes, and made up her mind, "What should I do?"
