Love's Change of Heart

Chapter 371

On the rooftop, although Jethro was being held by the neck and his face was flushed due to lack of oxygen, he didn't stop talking for a second. "You're an ungrateful brat! A jerk! Is this how you repay me after I raise you? I should have—"

He couldn't finish the rest of his sentence. His voice grew quieter, as if the words died in his throat.

Louis stared at the older man with a cold look in his eyes, his expression neutral. "You should've been dead a long time ago. A scum like you is better off dead."

Poking out his tongue, Jethro tried to retort, but no sound could escape his throat as his eyes rolled back in his head.

Just when he thought he was going to die, he felt the air coming back into his lungs as Louis was pushed away from him by force.

Jethro had both hands on his knees and he coughed violently as he watched the scene unfold before him.

Louis wasted no time in striking a blow on the face of the man behind him, his face contorted in anger. "Get lost!"

Ron was brought a few steps back from the unexpected attack. He wiped the blood away from the corner of his lips with his finger, and furrowed his brows at Louis. "Murdering him? Are you out of your mind?"

"Perfect timing. I'll get rid of both of you right here." The intention to kill settled on Louis' expression as he clenched his fists. "You colluded with each other and set Leanna up."

Jethro's hysterical laugh echoed from behind at that moment. "No wonder the ungrateful brat was acting weird! You're trying to stand up for your sister, aren't you?! What? Are you sour because she's the daughter of a rich family while you're the son of a loser like me? Do you think she'll reward you if you claim credit for killing me?"

for Jethro, but

That's a gap that can never be closed. You can't blame others but yourself for being born into this world with such a family background. You're my son. You're destined to suffer like the poor! Even if you killed me today, it won't change the fact that you're my son. If you loathe me, you should jump off here after you've killed me. Do you think she sees you as her brother? I'll be honest with you—people like us are merely dogs in rich people's eyes. They'll treat us with care whenever they're in a good mood, but toss us aside when they're unhappy. If she cares about you as you expect her to, she won't allow you to come to me. Instead, you could already have enjoyed a luxurious life by her side. Do you think you share a bond? Don't be ridiculous! Everything was but an act. If you want a better life, don't forget that I'm your father. I might be willing to share some money with you if you put me in
