Revenge After Death

Chapter 247

Ewan was quick and efficient. Mick soon spilled everything -he told us that Dax’s assistant was the one who’d given him the money and instructed him to lead a riot at the Lincoln Group. He refused to admit that he’d pushed me, though.

I didn’t probe too much. My goal had been to drag out the person behind Mick, anyway. It was clear to everyone that Dax was behind everything, but he’d managed

to get away every time so far.

It didn’t matter, though. I could get rid of his people one by one and replace them with my own. After all, he had Martin behind him, and their roots ran deep.

“Martin’s getting on in years, and Dax is his only son. Think about how sad Martin would be if he were to lose his only heir.” Steven had gone to collect the medical report with the nurse, so I spoke to Ewan. “I know you’re smart, Mr. Bart. I don’t care why you’ve approached Steve; I just know that we have a common enemy.”

Common enemies, to be exact–Martin and Dax.

The fact that Ewan had chosen to stand with Steven as soon as Ignatius fell was enough to tell Martin and Dax that he was ready to wage war against them.

They were as ruthless as they came, so there was no room for Ewan to lose this war

now that he’d chosen to work with Steven.

“I understand.” Ewan nodded. “I’ll do exactly as you and Mr. Lincoln have instructed.”

“Can we sneak any of our people into Dax’s life?” I asked.

Ewan faltered. “He may not be as cautious and sensitive as Martin, but he’s still strict when choosing his subordinates. I’ve thought of a few ways, but he generally doesn’t allow anyone other than his confidants near him. Besides, all the people around him have to get past Martin.”

like Martin kept Dax on a tight leash. Still, all children had a rebellious streak somewhere. I

keep waiting around for Martin.
