Chapter 0744

After Frank Levett had finished speaking with the “friend” who owed him a favor, all he had to do was sit back and watch the misfortune rain down on the Palmer family. It was inevitable that Maximus Palmer would get caught in the fallout.

The next morning, Marcus Bartz stood in the warehouse where the old Frank was being held. He looked at him and said.

“I hope you’ve made the right decision, Frank. There’s a reason I’ve kept you alive all these years. Just remember, everything I’ve done to you had a purpose.

“Now, as for your son… did you give him a reason to do what he did to you? He took your voice, stripped away the last bit of the implacable Frank Levett.”

Frank could no longer speak. A pen and paper were his only means of communication now, along with nodding or shaking his head.

‘You’re an idiot, you know that. You should’ve killed me when you had the chance.‘

“No, Frank, you’re my ace in the hole now.”

“What do you want me alive for? I’m useless to you.‘

“Oh, Frank, you’re far from useless. Here, I have a statement, one that absolves me of all responsibility for you and your miserable life. And, as a bonus, I’ll help you take revenge on your son.

This declaration says your son has been enjoying everything you’ve stolen over the years. It claims he cut out your tongue and vocal cords to silence you and that you sought help but no one came–except me, your worst enemy.”

“You’re unbelievable. What a fool!!

“It sounds far–fetched, doesn’t it? But once the truth comes out–and trust me, it won’t be long–Anthony Moriarty, that judge who’s after every last trace of the legendary Judge Levett, will ensure your downfall.

“Before long, you’ll be nothing but a shell of your former self. All you’ll have left is pity. That might help you, but it won’t save you from complete abandonment. If you don’tsign, there are only two options: you die skinned alive by my hand, or your son kills you, which, from what I’ve seen, he’s capable of doing without hesitation.

you sign, I promise to take care of you until your last breath, just like I’ve done all these years. I shouldn’t- after what you did to me, I should let you rot–but I’m a merciful man. If you sign, I’ll ensure you’re looked after.”
