Chapter 424 Drag The Hamilton Family Down

When Zayden heard Scarlett’s pathetic cries, he could not stand it either.

“Grandpa, even though Scarlett has committed a mistake, don’t you think that throwing her out from theHamilton residence is too harsh a punishment?” Zayden pleaded on behalf of Scarlett.

“Do you think that I want to do this?” Charles stumbled backward as a look of exasperation crossed hiswrinkled face. “Zayden, the Hamilton family isn’t as powerful as you think. After your parents died, I’m theonly one supporting the entire family. You know very clearly how incompetent you are. The Hamiltonfamily has been going downhill since a few years ago. We’ve been hiding behind a false pretense ofpower.”

After a slight pause, he continued, “Before your birthday banquet, I’ve finally managed to reach a verbalagreement with Samuel for him to cooperate with the Hamilton family for the next ten years. Now thatyour sister has done something so outrageous, do you think that Samuel will still collaborate with theHamilton family? I have no choice but to make a sacrifice. It is only by cutting off all ties with your sisterand making the family’s stance clear that there’ll be a slight chance for Samuel to change his mind!”

Having a sudden revelation, Zayden finally understood the reason behind Charles’ harsh actions.

“What about Scarlett…”

“Considering Samuel’s methods, your sister will end up a hundred times worse than going to jail.” WhenCharles said that, he could not help but tear up. “I know that, but what can I do? She messed aroundwith someone she shouldn’t have provoked and even crossed his bottom line! If the Hamilton familyhelps her, we’d all have to follow her to the grave.”

After knowing the powerful dynamics behind this, Zayden did not dare to mention anything no matterhow much he wanted to help Scarlett.

After Scarlett got chased out of the Hamilton residence, she paced around the villa like a lost ghost,unwilling to leave.

However, since Charles had given the absolute command, no one dared to let her in.

It was extremely chilling outside.

Scarlett was overwhelmed with fear and regret.

She called Yara, but the phone rang a few times before Yara declined the call directly.

Da*n it!

When Yara asked to join forces with her, she had acted so deferentially.

Now that things ended in failure, Yara immediately transformed into a traitor, not even willing to pick upher call.

“Yara! You were the one who dragged me into this mess!” A vicious glint flashed across Scarlett’s eyesas she spat through gritted teeth, “Now that you’ve made me utterly homeless, don’t you think that youescape scot-free.”

Meanwhile, Yara also received news that the plan had failed. Naturally, she could not accept Scarlett’scall at this critical juncture.

Initially, she wanted to join forces with Scarlett and eliminate Natalie secretly before Samuel returned.Never had she expected that he would come back earlier and that Natalie did not even enter that freezer!

Luckily, she managed to fend herself from Scarlett.

The reason why she asked to join forces was so that Scarlett could become her scapegoat if the truthwas revealed.

Yara frowned as she fell into deep thought.

I’ve already reminded Lia to knock Natalie unconscious using the sedatives before throwing her into thefreezer. Why did things take such a sudden turn?

Feeling puzzled, Yara could not help but call Lia.

“Do you have a death wish, Lia?” Furious, Yara screamed at the phone, “How did you carry out myinstructions? Do you believe that I’ll reveal to everyone that Lionel is an orphan and expose yourscandalous affair with him?”

Yara vented all of her anger on Lia, thinking that her threats would be effective again.

Surprisingly, Lia replied, “Go ahead and reveal my secret. However, I’ll also release the voice recordingof you instructing me to sabotage Natalie.”

“You…” Yara’s heart skipped a beat. “What do you mean?”

“At the very most, people will just look down on me. However, I’ll still be the heiress of the Johnsonfamily.” After a slight pause, Lia continued, “on the other hand, you are different. Your reputation will beutterly destroyed.”
