Chapter 512

The atmosphere in the study tensed up following the loud shattering noise of the cup smashing to smithereens.

Victor was leaning against the cupboard as he uttered nonchalantly, “What's the matter? Didn't you two agree to the conditions? Are you going against your word? It's fine even if you do. There are only two years left, anyway. At most, I'll just keep waiting inside. As for today's funeral, I won't be making an appearance. You two can handle it.”

Victoria, trembling with fury, pointed at him. “H-How can you do this, Victor? How dare you break your promise after the Saunders family's shares and assets were transferred to you?”

In response, he sneered, “Those belong to me in the first place. I simply regained what was always mine. If you two don't settle my prison issue today, I won't attend the funeral.” Do they think I'm stupid? I'll still be brought back to prison after the funeral's over. What's the point of inheriting the assets, then? Since I can't set myself free, they'll have to do it for me.

He thought he should clarify his condition just in case they didn't get the full picture. If they wanted him to attend the burial, they would have to settle the issue of releasing him from prison.

By that point, Victoria's face was covered in tears. She was utterly disappointed in her brother. “I've been taking care of Dad's funeral for the past few days, which was why I didn't have time to pull some strings and get you out of jail. Victor, I promise you with my life that after you attend the funeral, I will find a way to set you free. What do you think?”

“I think I disagree. If I don't get what I want today, I won't make an appearance at the funeral. How about you let the old fart stay in the house for a couple more days? Once you've taken care of my request, I'll happily do what you want.”
