Chapter 876 Let Us Die Together
“Just let me die! I’m too ashamed to continue living after being cheated of so much money,” Carmenwailed.
She didn’t really want to die, but she was so afraid of her children blaming her that she had to resort tosuch a tactic.
Sure enough, Heather anxiously grabbed Carmen’s arm. “Mom! What’s happened has happened.What good would it be to kill yourself? Now that the money’s gone, we should figure out how to trackAiden down!”
Lucas, however, merely leaned against the wall, not bothered about how Carmen wanted to kill herself.To him, the woman deserved to die for losing all his money.
In fact, he was more annoyed at how noisy she was, to the point where he wanted to sew her mouthshut. After a while, he rubbed his temples and shouted, “Mom, will you shut up? Think about how tosave me, for goodness’ sake!”
The Jennings family was in an utter mess, and it all started because of the ten billion. They wouldn’thave gotten into so much trouble if they hadn’t obtained such an eye-watering sum of money.
Needless to say, Heather turned ashen after learning about the money Lucas owed at the casino. Shewas under so much pressure that she even wanted to leave the family for good..
Although there were many similar troublesome matters in the past, they always seemed to resolvethemselves without her ever worrying about them.
Unfortunately, she had lost her knight in shining armor, and no one else would help her as much as henovelbin
did.
With that thought in mind, Heather buried her face in her hands and crumpled to the ground. Shecouldn’t stop her tears from flowing, nor could she stop herself from regretting her past actions.
Oh, dear… I wish I could tell Alex that I’ve realized my mistakes. I had been so wrong! That said, wouldhe forgive me for everything I had done? If only I could turn back time and slap myself to my senses.Perhaps then, things wouldn’t be so disastrous now… As if it isn’t bad enough that we’re alreadydivorced, there’s another more attractive woman by Aler’s side. D*mn it… I’m so afraid that he’d fall inlove with someone else!
Just then, Carmen nudged Heather to bring her out of her daze. “Come on, Heather. Think of a way tosave your brother! You’re not going to let him die, are you? How are things between you and thechairman of Four Seas Corporation? Since he treats you well and you’re already divorced, I’m surehe’d help Lucas if you ask him to.”
Heather lifted her head and stared blankly at Carmen. “The chairman of Four Seas Corporation is AlexJefferson, the man I had just gotten divorced from… Can’t you see that you’re the reason for ourfamily’s downfall? It’s your fault that we lost our money and I lost my husband. Are you happy now?Didn’t you say you wanted to die? Let’s die together, then! I’m sick of living, anyway.”
The next second, she pulled Carmen toward the wall. “I won’t stop you now. Come on. Let’s smash ourheads into the wall and end our misery!”
By then, Carmen had shrunk away and averted Heather’s gaze. She was only putting on an act whenshe blurted out about ending her life. There was no way she’d have done it for real.
“Wait. What was that, Heather?” she suddenly said after registering what her daughter had said. “Alexis the

chairman of Four Seas Corporation?”
Heather burst into self-deprecating laughter before telling Carmen and Lucas everything that hadhappened at Four Seas Corporation only two days ago,
Within seconds, the entire family had sunk into utter despair. Carmen kept apologizing to Heather, butthe latter couldn’t even be bothered to look at her.
Just like that, the sounds of Carmen crying and slapping herself resonated through the empty villa.
