She Became Rich After Divorce

Chapter 491: The Xona Lucas Family

After a moment, cries of wailing could be heard from outside the door. The maid appeared at the doorway with two children, her voice trembling as she answered, "Madam Thalia, Master Lewis and Lady Karina have arrived."

Thalia turned to look and saw the twin siblings standing at the door, holding hands and too scared to come in. Karina was crying with tears streaming down her face while hiding behind her brother. Her big eyes glanced briefly at Thalia before settling on Kai's face.

She cried out, "Daddy... hug me."

Kai's heart melted when hearing this cry. He tentatively reached out his hands in an attempt to get off the bed.

Thalia felt uneasy seeing Kai's blatant concern for his children. When Davon was this age and accidentally fell down, he wouldn't allow anyone to help him up; he had to stand up by himself. Even Iker, who was expected to carry on his father's legacy, never received any praise or recognition growing up.

Lady Karina weighed less than four pounds when she was born and suffered from various illnesses due to her weak constitution. But because of her resemblance to that slut Erica, Kai cherished her like a precious gem.

She had always wanted these bastards dead!

With both hands clasped in front of herself while wearing white high heels elegantly, she stepped towards the twins.

"Karina, why are you crying? Tell me."

Anxiousness consumed Kai as he yelled towards Thalia, "Just come after me! Don't make things difficult for my children! They're only two-and-a-half years old; they don't understand anything!" Thalia let out a disdainful laugh before reaching out one hand to grab Karina's collar. She lifted Karina up whilst picking up a fruit knife with the other hand and pressing it against Karina's chest. The slight pressure caused Karina's cries of pain become even louder.

Lewis rushed towards Thalia, pulling on her skirt and crying with swollen red eyes. "Please, please spare my sister. If you must kill someone, kill me instead." "Brother! Help... help me..." Karina cried out incoherently, turning to her brother for help. Their deep bond melted the onlookers' hearts, except for Thalia's.

She looked coldly at Kai as tears fell from his eyes and let out a mocking laugh that sent shivers down his spine. "How rare it is to see you cry like this. It seems that this bastard holds a special place in your heart. Sign this will and I'll release them."

The will had been prepared by her lawyer long ago with over a dozen items listed on it, including three main points: first, after his death, all the Todd family's property would belong to his second wife; secondly, Iker and Kai's third wife were required to return their villas and apartments they lived in; thirdly, since the twins' mother had passed away, the Todd family was planning to send them back to Onistead where their relatives could take care of them.

Kai reached for his reading glasses on the table, struggling to make out the words as he squinted at them for a long time.

His anger made his jaw tremble as he tightened his grip on the will, crumpling the paper and hurling it at Thalia. It struck her squarely on the forehead with a soft thud before landing on the floor. Thalia glared down at the crumpled paper by her feet, elegantly squatting as she reached for the will.

She sneered softly, "Is this demand unreasonable? Not at all. In fact, Iker has a lot of personal property. If he were to pass away as well, shouldn't that part also be inherited by our my son?"

At this, Kai was so enraged that he coughed up a mouthful of blood, his breathing becoming rapid and

uneven. He clutched his s

hand, trying to calm himself.

"Dream on!"

"Three years ago, the car accident was caused by you, and now you want to kill him again. Thalia, you're too ruthless. I regret marrying you."

If it weren't for Thalia's father's

coercion and Thalia taking

advantage of his drunkenness to

climb into his bed, Kai would not have decided to remarry when his first wife was gravely ill. It was this decision that drove a wedge between him and his son, iker.

Despite causing the accident, Thalia showed no remorse. On the contrary, she smirked triumphantly "Yes, we planned that accident. In fact, not only the accident, it was i who told Isabella before her death that you decided to let Davon inherit your position, and that drove her to death. Haha."

Thinking back to Isabella's resentful and despairing gaze before her death, Thalia still felt proud of herself.

Learning the truth, he couldn't be more guilty.

But Thalia didn't give him time to dwell on his feelings. She clapped her hands, and soon, a black-robed man entered the room.

The man was dressed in a black robe from head to foot, mysterious and inscrutable. From the familiar figure, Kai gradually thought of a person. "You... it's you!"

"Sir, it has been many days since we last met, and you don't seem to be in good health."

The hoarse and familiar voice pierced Kai's ears and mind. In an instant, there was only blankness left.

He stared in disbelief as the person in front of him raised his hand and slowly removed the black hat.

On his arm, an eagle holding a small snake, soaring high...

Finally, Kai understood. A complete sentence, filled with evident disgust, struggled to escape his lips. "You... you're from Xona..."

Before he could finish, a silver needle flew straight into his throat.

His voice was instantly silenced, only able to utter a few muffled sounds.This is property © of NôvelDrama.Org.

With wide eyes full of chill, he looked at the two.

Adrian presented a light smile, his eerie voice echoing in the room, "Those who know too much are destined to die early, and Mr. Todd is no exception."
