The Soldier's Unsurpassable Honor -
Chapter 542
The folds between Ivan's brows grew deeper upon hearing Ken's words.
Those words from Ken's delicate mouth were like tiny needles that pierced Ivan's eardrums-harsh and brutal, yet, honest and reasonable.
"Are you sure? Selena has been gentle and kind since young. She wouldn't compete with me to be the heir, right? If this happened in the past, it would be possible, but Fane's pay is quite high, and Selena's a s well. The family can live comfortably without much worry," Ivan thought out loud.
"Haha, Young Master Taylor, it's wrong to think in this way! Can't you see how many assets and properties the Taylor family possesses now? They can be considered as a second-class aristocratic family! With an abundance of valuable properties and possessions, do you think Selena will remain the same? She's from your generation as well. Same generation, same thoughts, right? Besides, no one complains about becoming rich!"
"Okay, let's not talk about whether or not she will compete with you for the throne. Even if she doesn't want to compete, your Grandpa will give her half of everything in the future, am I right? Do you really want to give half of it to her?" Neil echoed smilingly, fully intending to remind Ivan of his reality.
Ivan's face sank. "Of course not! I'm the only man of this generation in the Taylor family! Grandpa kicked her out of the family before! How could she be so shameless to involve herself in the dismemberment of Taylors' properties?
"You and Selena share the same roots and are from the same generation. Both of you are Grandpa Taylor's grandchildren, so she naturally has the right to inherit the property. Not to mention. Grandpa Taylor is wise and sharp. If he thinks that you're incapable and that you'll weaken the Taylors, he would not think twice before making Selena the heir!" Neil sneered in a cold and mocking tone.
The more Ivan thought about it, the more h e realized the truth in Neil and Hugo's analysis. Old man Taylor's attitude toward Fane and Selena had changed too much today. He even eulogized Selena for her business talent and filial piety after just a few glasses of wine. Throughout the conversation, he did not mention Ivan at all.
Ivan balled his fists tightly when he thought of the episode. "I will ask Xena to give Fane the pill tomorrow!"
"Don't rush it. You have to grasp the atmosphere and replace the best timing. Don't raise Fane's suspicion!"
Ken nodded his head and commented," Fortunately, this pill is very strong. It's odorless and tasteless, and it dissolves within seconds! If not, I'm afraid Fane might be able to replace out. After all, he's a doctor. He surely has the medical knowledge!"
Ivan was immediately petrified at his words. "You're right! He knows medical stuff. What if he's able to treat himself and be cured of the poison? Does the poison really work?"
Haha! Don't you worry! This pill was not easy to replace. We bought it at an extremely high price. This chronic poison pill was specially developed and made by the most prominent poison-making family in the southwest-the Miao family. The person who consumes this will not feel anything at all at the beginning, but as the days pass, he will grow weak in his four limbs, slowly losing vitality before eventually dying!" Ken rejoiced and continued, "And only the maker has the antidote for this kind of poison. It is derived from dozens of medicinal materials, how can it be treated so easily, right?"
Ken's confidence offered Ivan's heart some calmness. He felt relieved. I'll invite Xena for lunch tomorrow then! A little benefit for her would do the magic. I'll ask her to replace a good time to poison Fane. After all, it's been a long time since Xena's episode. It's about time Fane lowers his guard around
Xena."
"That's perfect! Once Fane dies, it gives us the chance to pursue Selena! She will become a member of another family and have her surname changed. That way, she loses the right to compete with you for the throne! Anyway, she wouldn't even need to fight with you once she marries a rich man, am I right?"
Ken was hopeful as though saw a light at the end of the tunnel as he thought about their plan. He felt that he was the most promising candidate, that Selena would pick him over the others. After all, he was closest to Selena before Fane returned.
Although Michael had a pretty good relationship with Selena, he was ugly and fat. Selena would definitely scratch the fat guy off her list.
On the other hand, Neil Hugo only came to know Selena much later. He was a complete pervert who only drooled over Selena's beauty. There was no emotional foundation for them to build a marriage on. Besides, Neil was infamous for being a playboy!
Therefore, after analyzing all the potential candidates, he was the most promising one. It was only natural for Selena to pick him!
"It makes sense, it does make sense! And when Fane dies, she'll definitely lose her fighting spirit for some time. She may even isolate herself and degenerate forever! By that time, Grandpa will be even more disappointed and change his perspective o f me again!" Ivan ended his final analysis on this matter. Soon, the three of them dispersed.
After Ken separated from the others, he brought some bodyguards with him and headed to the hospital.
