Chapter 794 Unrepentant

Elliot was in shock! He stared straight at Erik's reaction, unable to believe that he would do such a thing!

Erik gave Elliot a guilty look and then quipped,

"Don't slander me in front of the elders. Lucia is my son's fiancee, and her daughter is also my granddaughter. How can you say that Spencer kidnapped them?!"

With one look, Elliot knew that Edwin wasn't framing anyone.

"Before, in order to compete with Davonnis Corp, you instructed your son to cooperate with the Browns, who had enemies with me, to break up the relationship between Arthur and Lucia, and then tried all means to make Esmae deliver Lucia to you. Arthur was very painful for this. We never wanted to disturb the patriarch and elders, but this time you and Spencer have gone too far! The plan failed so you have Lucia and the child in control. Now, we don't know where they're and uncertain if they're safe. Do you even dare to excuse?!"

Edwin roared with anger.

"Isn't that up to you?" Erik said nonchalantly. "Do you have any proof that Spencer kidnapped them? If not, then stop barking!" "Erik! Don't you repent now?" shouted the patriarch.

"Edwin and his son told us everything when they arrived yesterday, and we personally confirmed it with Esmae. You and Spencer have committed a terrible crime. There's still a chance to turn back now. Don't be stubborn!"

"Spencer and I are right!" Erik retorted.

"If you're right, well, then contact Spencer immediately and have him hand over Lucia and the baby. You deliberately prevent her from having a relationship with Arthur, but bring her back to Esmae, okay? I promise that Arthur won't go to Lucia!" said Edwin, staring at Erik.

Erik frowned when he heard that.

To be honest, he didn't know about Spencer's imprisonment of Lucia and the child until now. His son had never reported it to him before. If he had mentioned it, he would never have allowed him to do that!

With a troubled mind, Erik was at a loss for words to refute, and faced with criticism from his elders.

"Call Spencer right now, would you?!" Edwin didn't give Erik a chance to take a break!

Erik wouldn't dare. He and his son weren't in cahoots, and what if something slipped out right here and now!

Elliot couldn't stay silent when he saw Erik's hesitation and guilt. How could he face the Edwins if Spencer really did this?!

"Erik, did Spencer do it or not?" Elliot had his authority and influence as a brother.

"He hasn't been in touch with me lately. How should I know?" Erik said, rolling his eyes three times.

"So you didn't know what he was doing?" Elliot pressed.

"I really don't know," Erik said, as if realizing Elliot had deliberately given him an out.

"I don't know what he's been up to. We haven't spoken in a long time."

Erik thought Elliot was speaking for himself, but then he said,

"If so, you're not to blame, but Spencer is! You have to help him make up for his mistakes! Now call Spencer and tell him to release Miss Webb and the baby, and I'll plead for you in front of the elders!" Erik's face changed when he heard this. It was as gloomy as a cloudy day when it was going to rain.

"Elliot, are you helping Edwin with me?!"

"I'm on the right side of this!" Elliot snapped.

"You've always wanted to go against Edwin, and I've pleaded for you in front of him many times. If it wasn't for that, do you think you'd still be standing here?! You do not repent, but to protect your son. Do you know what is the crime of kidnapping? Now Edwin's just looking for justice within the clan. If he calls the police, will Spencer have the future?!"

Erik, exasperated by Elliot's defensive tone, hardened from the initial softness.

"Don't be an alarmist! Spencer has his reasons for doing this. Besides, Lucia is his fiancee, and the child is his daughter. Even if he takes them there, there's nothing wrong with that!"

"How about he used Lucia and the baby to threaten Esmae to help you with Davonnis Corp, and then he forced them to hand over their shares?! Is that a crime?!" Edwin roared when he saw that Erik had no intention of repenting.

"It's square deal. You get what you want. How is that coercion?" Erik scoffed.

"That's enough!" When the patriarch heard this, his blood was boiling. He did not expect Erik to be so stubborn. He could not believe that Erik was still slurring his words in the face of the truth. He stood up and said,

"If you don't repent, don't be the Davies! We don't have s scum like you!"

The patriarch meant to drive Erik and his son out of the Davies family tree.

Erik was disappointed and stared at the patriarch, saying,

"I'm tired of this. You old guys never help me anyway. You watched Luis take our property from my father. Why didn't you look so righteous then?!"

"You!" The patriarch was angry and red-faced. For a moment, he can not speak. owns this.

Elliot hurried over to hold the patriarch, and an uncle next to him couldn't help but say,

"Erik, you are blinded! If Luis hadn't taken over the company when your father died, you wouldn't be here right now. At that time, your father's company was already strong but insolvent, and your mother's relatives were eager to take it as their own. If it weren't for Luis's protection, you and Elliot would have been taken advantage of long ago. Not to mention that Luis treated you as if you were his own sons. He paid for your education and gave you money for your own development. Now, you're ungrateful, and you're even biting the hand that feeds you!"

"Don't give me any of that old stuff," Erik said, incredulous, preoccupied with the idea that Luis had stolen his father's fortune.

"My father never said anything about the company losing money before he died. Now that Edwin has made a name for himself, you're all on his side. I only know that Davonnis Corp's position today was made possible by taking my father's assets! It's only right that I get it back! It would be intolerable not to bring it back!"
