Female Novel
Chapter 1494
Tobias had the intention to kill. He would eradicate anyone who stood in his way, even his own father. Although he was nowslightly deranged, he had yet to lose his rationality. He warned Lorenzo against interfering in the household's affairs.
“| won't be compromising, I’m afraid.”
Lorenzo was not intimidated at all. He sat in his wheelchair and pointed at Maxine, saying, “I named Maxine the family head,hence she'll be the family head. Tobias, you’ve been expelled from the family. You’re no longer a Caden. Get out of my sight thisinstant.”
“| warned you...”In the blink of an eye, Tobias appeared before Lorenzo.
However, at that moment, a figure appeared by the door. Upon seeing the figure, Tobias’ face paled as if he had seen a ghost.Staggering backward, he stammered, “Y-You...! H-How can this be?”
Tobias could not believe his eyes.
An elderly man slowly walked in. He was none other than Bennett, the person with the greatest authority in the household and aneighth-rank grandmaster.
“Father...”
Upon seeing Bennett, Lorenzo greeted him respectfully.
“G-Grand Patriarch...” Maxine was stunned. She did not expect Bennett to show up. His arrival filled her with hope.“A-Aren't you dead?” Tobias glared at Bennett.
Nearly three months had passed, and Bennett was still nowhere to be seen. That was why Tobias judged him to be dead anddecided to act today.
After ambushing Bennett at such a close distance, there was no way he would still be alive. Tobias only dared show himself afterbelieving that he was dead.
“Very good, Tobias.” Bennett walked over to him with a furious expression on his face.
He never expected Tobias to ambush him. He trusted him completely and even nurtured him as the family head, who went on totake the helm of the Cadens’ household for thirty years. For the past three decades, though Tobias did not perform any majormeritorious services, he managed the household in an orderly manner. However, he then tried to kill Bennett over a Spirit Turtle’score.
Saying that, Bennett roared in laughter.
After the initial shock, Tobias swiftly recollected himself. So what if Bennett was still alive? He had reached the middle stage ofthe eighth rank. His strength was now comparable to his grandfather.
After calming down, a smile crept up on his face, and he said, “Grandfather, you came at just the right time. Tell us, was itMaxine who ambushed you?”
Though he was smiling, his eyes were cold.
“Grandfather, you should think twice before saying anything. May | remind you that many important household members arehere?” Tobias said threateningly.
James looked at Bennett and asked, “What’s going on, Grand Patriarch? Was it Tobias who ambushed you that day?”
Bennett nodded slightly and said, “It was him, alright. | was gravely injured after he ambushed me. As my life was hanging by athread, | feigned death in the hopes of fooling him. After he left, | hurriedly made my escape.”
“| knew he’d be afraid. After he left with the core, | was worried about infighting among the Cadens. And so, | instructed Lorenzoto stabilize the situation by making you the family head. However, as you had no interest whatsoever in the position, we couldonly make Maxine the family head.”
