Chapter 254

Spare? Dispose?

Raiden's eyes narrowed at his sister. “You wish to dispose of her? Who gave you the courage to contemplate murder, Scarlett?”

Scarlett retracted her neck in fright at his tone.

She grew up with fear in her bones of her elder brother, who had become a general at a young age.

Whenever he was furious, she would feel a tremendous pressure above her, filled with an oppressive, murderous aura.

“Dad is standing for election, Raiden. If he succeeds, we Fletchers will be elevated yet again. There cannot be any unsavory news about us during this critical period. If the world knew that the son-in-law handpicked by Dad led a dishonorable life and had an illegitimate child, how would they view Dad and the Fletcher family?”

Raiden lowered his head as if in thought.

She continued, “If Dad were to be elected, Raiden, you are going to rise easily. Who else in Jadeborough would be equal to us? No word of Justin's illegitimate child can be exposed during this juncture. Since our wedding has been moved up, the Fletcher family's reputation would suffer the most if the world found out.”

“What do you want to do?” Raiden asked quietly with a frown.

A murderous glint flashed across Scarlett's eyes. “Get rid of them,” she spat those four words through gritted teeth.

Raiden fell silent for a moment before shaking his head. “That is too extreme a measure, which will easily backfire on us at the slightest mishap and cause our family to fall into ruins. It's not worth the risk. Rest assured, however. I will not let that woman and her son spoil your wedding with Justin. Give me two days to think about it, and I'll provide you with the most pragmatic solution.”

Scarlett's purpose in getting her brother involved was to exile Veronique out of Hallsbay even if she could not destroy the latter. Seeing as her brother had agreed with her, she naturally wouldn't say anything more.
