Chapter 107: Chapter 107: Smoking to Calm Emotions

The woman continued, “Actually, the woman and her husband were very reasonable people, but fate played such a cruel joke on them. The woman didn’t blame anyone, after all, it was her son’s extreme behavior that caused the tragedy.”

“The woman even thought that the girl her son liked, and the girl’s husband, were good people, and she didn’t pursue their responsibility.”

“Until one day, someone suddenly came to their home and told the woman that the deaths of the father and son were not accidents.”

Yigol Novak frowned, understanding the woman’s point.

So she meant that the deaths of Bob Presley and his father were the responsibility of Yigol and Suri as a couple, that’s why Heather Leich came to confront them.

“Who was that person?” Yigol asked.

Heather’s story was certainly heartwarming, but it was only relevant to her family. Yigol wasn’t a saintly person who would waver from his judgment based on a few words,

Considering Bob’s behavior, even if he didn’t have problems now, he would have died sooner or later due to his self-righteousness and extremism. Bob Presley’s father, like Heather Leich, loved their child. But love wasn’t simply providing material needs for the child.

If a child isn’t successful, it’s not someone else’s fault.

Yigol understood that the reason Heather told their family’s story was not to elicit sympathy or guilt from Yigol, but to express her pain and hatred for him.

In Heather’s mind, Yigol was already guilty.

“I don’t know her, but she said she was a friend of my son, a girl.” Heather replied indifferently.

After hearing this, Yigol had almost confirmed that it had to be Quinn Powell.

No one but Quinn would do such a brainless thing.

“So, what do you want to do?” Yigol asked.

Heather couldn’t have just come to tell a story; there must be a purpose, especially since there was hatred in her eyes that couldn’t be faked.

“My husband and son died so unclearly, I lost everything. But I want the person who made me lose everything to lose everything clearly, not like me, losing everything before I knew what was happening.” Heather said calmly.

Her words made Yigol shiver. So after all that, Heather came to tell him that she would target the people he cared about.

Heather smiled and opened the car door to get out. Yigol instinctively wanted to stop her but hesitated and withdrew his hand halfway.

He couldn’t just kill her, but if he couldn’t, what would holding her back do?

Seeing Heather leave like that, Yigol fell into distress. Suddenly, he thought of the System, “System, System, come out quickly, I need your help.”

“Ding, report to the host, the System has detected that Heather Leich has murderous intent towards Suri Drew and is already preparing to take action.

The success rate is 100%. The System is now urgently launching a special program, please wait a moment.”

Yigol sighed in relief. He had turned to the System in desperation, not expecting it to be so powerful and useful.

With the System’s help, he didn’t need to worry about Suri’s safety anymore.

Otherwise, he wouldn’t know how to deal with this woman if she went crazy.

Keeping an eye on a hidden enemy is difficult.

After a while, the System’s voice came back.

“Ding, a gentle reminder, please leave this place now.”

Yigol wasn’t sure why the System wanted him to leave, but he knew it must be for the best.

His System, after all, wouldn’t trick him.

Yigol’s car soon overtook Heather, who was walking slowly on the road like a soulless puppet.

Seeing this scene, Yigol felt inexplicable sadness.

With the System’s intervention, Heather probably wouldn’t live much longer. He couldn’t help but feel a little guilty.

So, Yigol stopped next to her and rolled down the window. “You’re Bob’s mother, Heather Leich, right?”

“Since you’ve told me so much, I have a few things to say to you too. It takes two to tango. You can try to put yourself in others’ shoes. You said your husband loved you deeply, and I believe you must have loved him too.”

“So, please tell me, would you give up on your husband just because another woman loves him? I don’t think I need to answer that.”

“You said your husband was very upright, and so were you. So, is what you’re trying to do right now an upright thing to do?”

“You’ve seen the video of the accident involving your husband and son. Your husband tried to stop your son’s car for a reason. He didn’t want your son to continue making mistakes. If your son had cared a little about his father’s feelings, things wouldn’t have escalated to this point.”

“Judging by your husband’s actions, he didn’t want your son to harm innocent people. Of course, what you want to do is your business. I just want to remind you to think carefully about whether what you’re doing is what your husband would want to see.”

“The reason I’ve said so much to you is that I think your husband protected my wife and me with his life. Also, there’s a word called ‘tact’. Your son has bothered my wife more than once already, and he’s been taught a few lessons but still didn’t change. That’s why the incident happened.”

“It’s the parents’ fault if the child is raised but not educated. Are you and your husband really blameless? I did suppress your supermarket, but it was only because your son was overconfident and wanted to take advantage of others.

All I did was fight back. I wanted to show him that without his family’s halo, he’s nothing.”

“My wife even told me not to go too far, that a lesson learned was enough, and not to push your family to the brink. That’s why your supermarket has survived until now. But there was no helping it; your son just wouldn’t change, and he brought it upon himself.”

Having said all that, Yigol didn’t care what Heather’s reaction would be and simply drove away.

“Ding, please park your car 50 meters ahead and buy cigarettes and a lighter from a random convenience store.”

Yigol hadn’t driven far before the System’s voice rang out again.

This is?

Yigol did as instructed, bought cigarettes, and returned to the car. The System then said, “Please smoke and drive at the same time.”

Yigol was puzzled but did as the System said. He hadn’t smoked much since he got together with Suri, and after a long time, he had almost forgotten about his smoking habit.

Just as well, today’s mood was a bit off. He might as well smoke a cigarette to burn his emotions away..
