He would definitely regret it.
Since months before, when Jennifer learned that Pablo had brought back his brother, she had felt a sense of crisis, and the facts proved that she was right.
He came back to take revenge.
He had not only defeated her once and for all, but also brought Paul here to make her despair.
The moment Jennifer fell, many scenes flashed in her mind. She remembered seeing young Paul standing by the window on a balcony and smiling. She smiled at him and he seemed to be stunned for a moment, then smiled back politely.
How stupid she had been. If she looked further, she would have seen another girl standing behind her. Not long after that, the girl became the First Lady and her sister-in-law.
She did not know why she recalled this scene at this time. Maybe because... maybe because that was the only time Paul had smiled at her.
Later, she married him as she wished, but from then on, she had never seen that smile on his face again.
He was still alive.
Fine. What a pity that he would rather "die" on the battlefield than return to her side.
"Do you know what happened to the First Lady?" After Jennifer was carried out, Pablo looked at Paul and asked, "Why didn't you tell us earlier? If so, Kason might have..." It was impossible for Kason not to be sent away. Would he have a better life? Pablo was not sure. The children of the Addison family had a large chance to die early. Many ladies could not protect the children after giving birth to them.
But if Paul had said it earlier, perhaps ... Mrs. Scavo wouldn't have died in front of Vincent.
Paul looked at Vincent sitting on the couch, said with red eyes, "I'm sorry."
Pablo suddenly understood that it was also a difficult choice for Paul. If Paul had said it, his only son, Baron, would lose his mother.
A weak baby in the cruel reality alone... How could he survive?
Pablo was glad that when he was young he was often bedridden, therefore had not attracted much attention. Otherwise, he was not sure if he could live to this day.
But at the same time, he felt a deep sense of guilt. Vincent had been sent away at a young age, and he had narrowly escaped from death for several times, how could he be glad at his own weakness?
The Second Elder and Baron were both taken away. The other elders had nothing to say. It was a shame that among them, the loyal supporters of the patriarch, should come a scum as the Second Elder. Although Kason was fine, it was true that the First Lady died because of Jennifer. Jennifer could commit the crime with impunity thanks to the Second Elder. Though he did not participate in the crime, he was also guilty because he had helped to conceal the truth.
What's more, he was not an accomplice twenty-seven years ago, but what about fourteen years ago?
Jennifer as a woman couldn't have been so powerful, so who was to blame for the accidental assassination of Mrs. Scavo while the original target being Kason himself?
Now that Baron had publicly shot Pablo, the elders clearly had not intended to forgive these culprits easily. They all put on solemn expression after their discussion.
However, there were also many questionable points such as Kason's injuries on the leg.
After this incident, the elders were like frightened birds, kept on guard around the clock. They simultaneously thought of one problem.
Kason was too scheming. If he wanted to be the patriarch, Pablo was not his opponent.
Paul said to Vincent, "I admit my mistake, but Timothy and Timmy had nothing to do with this. If you let them go, the army will retreat. Don't worry, I had instructed them before I came."
Timothy, hearing this at the entrance of the tent, was about to interrupt when he met Vincent's eyes. This man was more handsome than Pablo, but there was an alarming coldness in his eyes. He slightly raised his eyebrows, and then someone flashed by. Before long, Timmy and his subordinates were brought over.
"Timmy! Are you alright?" Timothy rushed forward.
Timmy asked, "What happened? Why are you..." At this moment, he saw Paul and was alerted, "Have you bring the troops with you?"
"Yes, I thought you sent the signal."
Timmy frowned at Vincent and Pablo. His voice was just audible to everyone else in the tent. "The moment I was sent to the dungeon, the signal flare was taken away. It was the thief who led you and the troops here."
The elders stared at Kason with widened eyes. They naturally would not doubt Pablo, who always wished for peace. How could Pablo use the child of the Lord of the Divine Immortal Island to attack the uninhabited island? There was only one person who would do this. That was Kason!
Pablo took a defensive stance and prepared to bring Kason out if things went wrong. However, most of those in this tent were his subordinates. What he was most worried about was whether Timmy would blindside them like last year.
"Report --" A flustered attendant suddenly came in from outside and knelt down, "The Second Elder, he... he..."
All eyes were on him.
"What happens?" The First Elder rushed out, "He was at most an accessory. It won't take his life. Why is he so stupid? Why..."
The attendant knelt on the ground and trembled as he looked up at Pablo and then hesitated to say, "The Second Elder said that he participated in all the schemes, including last year... The time when Pablo almost died outside... he was one of the criminals."
The few elders who were about to follow the First Elder halted at these words.
Pablo was stunned.
He had always thought that he had been blindsided by Timmy, but it turned out that the man behind was the Second Elder?
Although he had always been on guard against the elders, he had never thought that they who had watched him grow up would really be so ruthless to kill him.
