Chapter 943

Hamilton flinched and shot a glare at the door. "What do you think you're doing here? Be quiet. You startled my grandson. I won't let this slide."

Mason slammed the sealed jasmine onto the table.The bang echoed around the office.

He stared Hamilton down. "So sure about that grandson? He might never draw a breath. Your grandson? What a joke."

Hamilton's face turned red with rage.

Mason struck the table again. "Daniela, you cruel ·woman.How dare you poison my father. You really do have the nerve."

Daniela lifted an eyebrow, slouching back in her chair."Looks like that poisonous jasmine did its job."

Mason jabbed a finger at her. "You admit it? You dare say it out loud?"

Daniela let out a short scoff. "Why wouldn't I?I've always been honest."

Mason's fury tangled his tongue. He turned to Hamilton. "Did you hear her? She confessed.She tried to kill my father with that cursed plant. He's still lying in a hospital bed, fresh out of surgery."

Hamilton froze, stunned. He was ready to snap at Daniela when his eyes landed on the jasmine on the table. His brow creased tight.

He picked it up slowly and asked Mason, "This looks too familiar. There were many jasmines outside Daniela's villa. Were they all poisonous?"

Hamilton's voice dropped to a chilling low,each word sharp enough to cut.

A shiver crawled over him. Back then, when the gardener said they were good for the baby, he had told the gardener to plant as many plants as possible outside Daniela's villa.

If Cedric hadn't blocked her from those flowers, she might have already lost the baby.

Mason had stood by, waiting for Hamilton to lash out at Daniela. Instead, Hamilton fixed his eyes on Mason."So your father planted poisonous jasmines outside Daniela's home? I always thought Brad, Jules, and Ethan were snakes sending garbage to her doorstep,but I figured your father was decent. Looks like I was blind. He is the most vicious man among you all."

Mason had come to argue but faltered under the blame. He let out an awkward cough. "She poisoned my father too!"

Carol folded her arms and scoffed from the side."Really? You people planted countless toxic flowers outside our villa. We only placed one flower in your house.If your father got sick, that's karma at work. We only meant to knock him out, not kill him. But he tried to murder Daniela and her baby. So tell me, who's worse?"

Daniela, tired of the back and forth, flicked a paper onto the table. "Enough chatter. Pay for cleaning the jasmines and clearing the air."

Mason squinted at the amount. "A million? Daniela,are you serious?"

Daniela laughed lightly. "Of course I am. Pay it now,or I'll let you sniff the poison up close."

Mason scowled but forked over the money.

He turned on his heel, ready to spit out one last insult,but Hamilton lunged after him, roaring so loud the windows trembled.

"You rat! Tell your father we are at war nowN. Touch Daniela's child, and I'll rip you apart myself."

Hamilton's rage burned his face red. The veins in his neck pulsed like ropes about to snap.

Carol leaned back with a grin, shooting Daniela a wink.

"Hamilton might not win father of the year, but he sure does know how to guard his grandchild."

Carol figured if Josh showed up now, Hamilton might just strangle himn dead on the spot.
