CHAPTER 539 UNEXPECTED INVITATION

“No!”

“Grandpa, no!”

The rest of the Watts all burst into tears while shouting to stop him.

Even Leo was stunned when hearing that.

Never had he expected that Ayan would actually sacrifice himself to save the family.

Alan only responded with a serious look.

In the midst of their crying, Ayan shouted again, “Shut up!”

His thundering voice soon ceased their tears.

He looked around his family, “What are you crying for? Tear is only for coward!”

“Stop crying! Death is something we have to face. But the death of the Watts has to be remarkable!”

As soon as he finished, they all stopped crying.

“Bring me the dagger! This is my last order as the patriarch!” huffed Ayan.

One of the juniors handed over a dagger with his trembling hands.

Ayan grabbed it and turned to look at Alan, “This is for your wife! And remember your promise!”

After that, he raised up the dagger to stab his own neck.

Everyone around looked away to avoid witnessing this tragedy.

Leo covered Emilia’s eyes while he was staring at Ayan.

However, before the dagger penetrated Ayan’s neck, someone rushed over to grab tight on the blade.

No matter how hard Ayan tried, the dagger still froze in the air.

Ayan opened his eyes, surprised to find that it was Alan standing in front of him.

“Alan, what are you doing? Let go!”

But Alan still clutched at the dagger.

The blade cut his palm, from the surface of which blood streamed down his arm.

But Alan didn’t seem to feel the pain. He still clutched hard at the dagger.

His eyes went bloodshot. He huffed while glaring at Ayan, “You can kill yourself to redeem your sin of

killing my fiancée. But she could never return to me even if you are dead…”

His voice sounded husky, in which anger was burning.

Hearing that, Ayan couldn’t help shivering. He stared at Alan with disbelief.

Alan took over the dagger and dropped it on the ground.

“Dad!” Lizzie shouted in tears. She hurried over to bandage Alan’s hand.

But Alan refused, “Girl, stay with Mr. Cohen. There is still something personal between us to deal with.”

Alan didn’t continue until Lizzie walked over to Leo, “Nothing could bring her back to me. If I push you

into suicide, there will be no difference between you and me.”

Ayan stared at the dagger blankly. Soon, he seemed to tell what Alan meant.

“Are you being sympathetic to me?”

“No, it has been twenty years. It’s long enough to dissolve hatred. I just wanna see what’s your

answer.”

Then he looked at Ayan while explaining, “When you were ruling the family, I found no humanity among

us. Our siblings fought each other to struggle for profit. What’s the point of that even though the Watts

have been privileged?”

“I wanna change it. I wanna make my family both privileged and full of kinship.”

His statement froze the air in silence.

Kinship! What a strange concept inside the family!

All siblings had been conspiring against each other ever since they were born.

The plot prepared by Jonah against Laura could be the most typical example.

As time went by, the feeling of kinship started to fade away.

Even though they were aware of the detriment within, conspiracy had deeply rooted in their daily lives.

Now Alan chose to stand out to bring up a revolution.

Of course, a price must be paid.

Ayan stared at him, “Is that a yes from you to take over my position?”

Alan nodded, “Yes, but not for you. Instead, this is for my daughter.”

Alan then smiled at Lizzie, “I returned this time just to bring her home. I don’t want her to be haunted by

conspiracy after she returns.”

Ayan then looked at Lizzie. Mixed feelings were brewing in his eyes.

“She looks like your wife.” Ayan uttered after a long silence.

“Everyone is born to be in need for kinship. You were no exception. Am I right about that, dad?” once

again, Alan addressed him as ‘dad’ after its absence for more than two decades.

With his lips trembling, Ayan still found it hard to call him ‘son’.

“Whatever you think about me…there is no denying that I have killed your wife. It’s all on me.”

“From now on, you are the patriarch. You shall bear the responsibility to lead the family to the prime!”

Ayan requested with his eyes fixed on Alan.

Eventually, Alan took the position. Original from .

Ayan then walked over to Leo, “Mr. Cohen, as you required, Alan has been made the next patriarch.

So, now do we deserve your mercy?”

Leo smiled to nod, “Of course, we all love happy ending, right? From now on, the Watts deserve both

my mercy and support.”

“Just feel free to reach out if the Watts is in need.”

Hearing that, Ayan breathed a sigh of relief. Finally, he let out a smile.

Leo then fixed her eyes on Lizzie while speaking to Ayan, “By the way, Lizzie is about to reach the age

of marriage. As her grandpa, do remember to attend her wedding someday in the future.”

Ayan took a look at Lizzie. He said after seconds of hesitation, “So can we name her future kid with

Watts?”

“Sure.” To his surprise, it was Alan who answered it.

Lizzie was rendered bashful.

However, she kept glancing at Leo from time to time. Then her gaze ended up with a long sigh.

Perhaps she never had the chance to confess her feeling.

Leo held up Emilia in his arms and was about to leave.

Nadine stood up and said, “My lord, let me drive you home.”

Leo smiled to turn down, “No, thanks. Louis will drive me home. You can leave now.”

“Yes, my lord.” Nadine appeared a bit upset.

She then drove herself back to her house.

However, a car stopped in her front halfway.

Then a few tough guys got off the car.

Nadine soon stayed alert, “You got a problem?”

She jumped off the car, ready to fight.

However, those guys hurried to explain in fluster, “Ms. Nadine, please don’t be alert. We aren’t here to

fight!”

Nadine stopped to look at them, “You know me?”

One of those guys said, “Ms. Nadine, a lady wanna invite you to have a talk.”
