Chapter 426 I've Got It Done, Hurry Up and Worship Me


Today was day two after treatment, and Alaric was still flat on his back all day. He was feeling way better than yesterday, even managed to chow down a bit. Just as Ambrose's call came in, Alaric picked up. Ambrose said, "Mr. Knight, your assistant should've filled you in, right? The paperwork for that land is done, and it's now under Stellan's name."

Right after wrapping up the paperwork, Ambrose hit up Alaric. "Like we agreed, once the land's yours, you hand over all the dirt you got."

Ambrose was seriously getting blackmailed this time, and his guilty conscience had him sweating that Alaric might flake on the deal. "The evidence is just the confessions of those who spread rumors. You can grab them straight from the police station," Alaric said, all chill. Ambrose thought, 'Confessions of rumor spreaders? That's all?'

"Alaric, are you screwing with me?" Ambrose was fuming.

"So, Mr. Vale, what kind of evidence are you after?" Alaric shot back, "Proof of Todd's murder? Evidence of the construction site accident? Or maybe the dirt on you framing the Storm Family years ago?" Ambrose was stunned and clenched his fists. He'd been too careless this time. If Alaric really had the goods, he would've handed them to Neil ages ago. He wouldn't be haggling with Ambrose. "Don't sweat it, I'll get that evidence," Alaric said coolly, "Denny knows all about your shady stuff, right? Guess where Denny is now?"

"Alaric! Quit the suspense and don't try to spook me. If you really had Denny, you wouldn't be playing these games." Ambrose was on edge but tried hard to keep his cool. He couldn't afford to lose it now.

Ambrose snapped, "Alaric, you know how I feel about Stellan, and I know you love her. If you really care about her, you should think about her and your three kids."

"It's easy to come after me, but going after those hidden big shots is nearly impossible. If you wanna die, that's on you, but do you wanna drag Stellan and your kids down with you?"

"Look at you now, barely hanging on. How can you fight them? If you're a real man, you should cut ties with your family and take all the heat yourself. Don't drag them into this mess!"
