Flash Marriage: Slow Down Mister
Chapter 534 Even A Broke Merchant Is Still Richer than A Pauper

Seeing that Horace didn't reply, these reporters were angry and wanted to curse, but they didn't dare as this press conference was held by Chester.

Besides, even a broke merchant was still richer than a pauper.

Horace still got his power even though he was no longer a CEO.

He got abilities to be reckoned with.

Chester answered every question perfectly.

Horace's phone buzzed in the middle of the asking and answering part.

And it buzzed several times.

Normally Horace wouldn't pick it up when he was at work except it was Clara calling. But it buzzed many times and he didn't enjoy the situation at the press conference now.

Horace answered the phone.

A man's voice came.

"Hello? Are you Horace Kirkland?"

The man on the phone checked if he was Horace and then continued after Horace said yes, "Your grandpa was killed by gunshot this afternoon. Please come."

Hearing these words, Horace abruptly panicked.

Russell was shot!

There was a mess in Horace's head. Russell was dead? He was killed?

Horace was devastated and had no interest in this press conference so he looked at Chester to let him know that Horace was going to leave early.

Walking on the street and seeing people coming and going, Horace didn't know what to do now.

Russell was dead, he was killed!

That man who had raised him and spoiled him passed away.

He burst into tears at this thought.

Horace didn't even know what to do at this point.

He was at a loss.

Sitting on the stairs by the street, he ran into his car. That was right, he should go to see his grandpa.

Probably Russell was just playing a trick to make him go home as he always complained that Horace didn't go to see him enough.

A lot of old people would do that, so Russell might being using the same trick too.

Thinking that, Horace sped up.

But there was a traffic jam so he backed his car at maximum speed and then drove forward.

Seeing Horace doing this, other drivers got what he was doing and moved their cars as they were afraid that Horace would damage their cars.

Right now Horace could only think about going to see Russell as he knew that Russell was waiting for him.

Thinking of this, Horace sped up again, racing at a speed that he wouldn't normally reached. But he had no other choice right now.

Horace honked all the way and people made way for him for fear of a crash.

He ran a few red lights and was driving so fast that a couple of traffic cops were chasing him.

But they were traffic cops so they drove at a reasonable speed.

Naturally, they couldn't catch up with him.

Horace was driving so fast that he cut the three hours away to one hour and a half.

And the traffic cops behind chased him for an hour and a half.

Horace arrived home and was nervous seeing those policemen in the house but he still went in.

"Family only." They had to seal off the area as this was shooting and only family members were allowed.

"I'm his grandson," Horace said in a cold voice. A policeman came over and let him in.

That policeman had seen him so he knew that it was Horace, Russell's grandson.

Horace walked inside and was pretty tense with his bumping heart.

He kept comforting himself that this was a lie and Russell was fine.

But he had less trust in his thought when he got closer to the scene as he knew his thought was all made up.

Looking around while walking, it was horrific for Horace to see the blood on the ground. He frowned and then thought about his son Neo.

He had no time to waste right now as he didn't know if Neo was still alive.

Horace could comfort himself about Russell but he couldn't with Neo. So he walked faster forward.

He didn't even know what he was thinking at this point but walked forward.

Walking to the small garden, Horace finally broke down at the sight of Russell lying on the ground.

Horace couldn't lie to himself anymore with Russell lying in blood, and he could no longer convince himself no matter how.

Horace walked to the front and kneeled down beside Russell. The policemen standing aside saw him and then left spontaneously because they knew Horace needed some space for himself. Horace was choked by sobbing with the loss of his grandpa.

He hated himself for he took Neo here so that those bad guys knew where Russell lived and killed him.

Russell had always wanted Horace to see him but he refused him every time. Horace didn't come to see him once.

Horace didn't want to come back as there was too many terrible memories here of his childhood.

Thinking about how much Russell had wanted him to go home, Horace just wanted to slap himself in the face. He thought about it, and he did it.

He felt devastated seeing that Russell was killed with a smile on his face.

Horace grabbed a tissue and wiped off the blood on Russell's face gently and his face was clearly revealed again.

Horace touched Russell's wrinkled face which was done by time.

He thought about the scene when Russell took him out to play in his childhood and then wept.

Horace just wanted to die with Russell but he knew he couldn't.

Russell had hoped that Horace would cut a figure someday.

So Horace couldn't die now or he didn't dare to face Russell in heaven.

"Horace."

Horace heard Clara's voice when he was upset.
