Cutie, Please Marry Me Again (Jenna and Hansen)

Chapter 1588

The Moore family.

"Mr. Johan!" The old butler was beside himself with anxiety. He wondered what was going on.

Johan had been coughing non- stop since morning. The cause was still unknown even after a thorough examination. Several doctors were on pins and needles whereas the old butler had a face as pale as wax.

Johan spat out a mouthful of blood and only managed to catch his breath after a long while. Elina stood on the side in trepidation. "What should we do?"

Johan slowly raised his head and swept his eyes over the people around him. As the backbone of this family, he had been working hard his entire life. Who would've thought that someone would plot against him when he got old? Were these people so eager to watch him die?

Did they not know that if he died, all of them would come to no good end? He pondered on this.

The old butler wiped the blood off Johan's mouth and poured him some water personally for rinsing. After cleaning up, the old butler could not help but walk aside and lowered his head sadly.

Johan said slowly, "Tell Flynt and Kieffer to come back. I want to see them."

Colston instantly replied, "I'll do it right away."

Johan threw a glance at Colston's back when he left. To Johan, Colston was quick-witted and knew how to distinguish the priority of matters. With the addition of this person called Louisa, if the Moore family fell into his hands in the future, even if it would not create an era as illustrious as his, it would mark the start of another glorious age.

Nonetheless, Johan couldn't forget his identity.

No matter how eminent the family would be under his management, it was not sufficient for him to take over the Moore family.

In the end, Johan still chose Kieffer as the successor. However, by the time Colston went to notify him of Johan's instruction, an accident had already happened to him.

It didn't take a long time before Colston came back, and there was a moderate change in his expression.

Johan couldn't wait any longer. When he saw Colston, he asked, "What's wrong?"

"Kieffer had an accident."

As soon as Colston finished speaking, Johan blanched and began panting. The people around him all lowered their heads slightly as they were aware that Johan intended to anoint Kieffer as the rightful heir.

But now he had an accident. Who was behind it?

Almost everyone felt that it was Colston.

At this time, who else could it be other than him?

Even if he was the current head of the family, he would be nothing if Kieffer had returned.

Johan held the quilt under him. Indeed, he was regretful, but...

"Where is Flynt?"

Johan suddenly spoke, and everybody's eyes landed on Colston, who then ruminated momentarily. "Something has happened to him too, but he is all right. The call had gotten through. He is already on the way back."

Johan gazed at Colston blankly. "If it's you, admit now and I'll let you go. Tell me if it's you."

Colston stared at him. "It isn't me."

Johan's eyes were very deep, but after a long time, he smirked. "Take this woman and get out of here. Henceforth, you are no longer a member of the Moore family. We don't have an ungrateful traitor like you. Get out of my sight right now."

Colston was dumbfounded for a bit. "I can't leave."

"Get lost!"

"I didn't do it. I always do everything openly. Without any evidence, how could you say that it's me? Even if I need to leave, I have to find out who is the one framing me." NôvelDrama.Org: owner of this content.

As a matter of fact, Colston knew very well who the mastermind was.

He just needed to investigate thoroughly and get evidence.

Notwithstanding his age, Johan was not an idiot. He was well aware of who was right and who was wrong.

It was just that he was too old to do anything, so...

What was more, he didn't like Colston either. It was a pity that Kieffer became an innocent victim in this affair.

As an old man, he couldn't even protect his descendants, which in turn made them scheme against each other relentlessly.

Johan said, "Get lost."

Colston replied, "It turns out that you're indeed senile. It's fine by me if you want me to leave, but Louisa is pregnant. How do you want us to survive if we leave? Flynt is such a devious scum to set me up like this. He won't let us off after we leave. Do you want Louisa and me to die?"

Johan narrowed his eyes and said nothing.

Colston answered "No wonder you're living a tough life in your old age. I've asked Louisa to examine you. You've been poisoned. She has been studying your poison for a long time to detoxify you, but you're treating us in this way. I've done my best for the Moore family. Since you want to let Flynt kill us... Fine, well leave."

Colston had felt disinclined to stay in the Moore family any longer. Now that Johan could do such a thing to Louisa and him, what else couldn't he do?

Colston turned around and left with Louisa. He would no longer interfere with the matters of the Moore family.

Besides, he had already made up his mind on where to go next.

After they left, Johan inquired, "When will Flynt be back? Call and ask him."

The old butler quickly made the phone call. Flynt told him that he would be back soon, in an hour at most.

Johan's eyes strayed to Elina, who was standing by the side with a pale face.

"Listen up, all of you. Colston came from a lowly background. He isn't qualified to be the leader of this family. The Moore family's leader can only be Flynt."

"If I'm no longer here, Flynt will take over the family."

Most members of the Moore family knew that Flynt was probably behind the murder of Kieffer and that Colston was just a scapegoat.

However, Flynt had had his own supporters. If Johan and he turned against each other, the Moore family might be destroyed.

Everyone went out without saying anything.

All of them had their own thoughts. Flynt had not hurt them in the past, neither would he do so in the future. As long as Flynt became the head of the family, they could be relieved.

In spite of Colston's benevolence, as Johan said, he was a lowly person.

The head of the Moore family couldn't fall into the hands of a lowly person.

When everyone had gone out, Johan called out to Elina. "Elina, stay here. Let's talk."

Elina shivered slightly, cursing Colston in her heart. It was all because of the words he spoke before he left that Johan suspected her.

That said, she was not fearful. Now that Flynt had won, no one could do anything to her. The next plan was to get rid of Yousif's other women and children. She had lost her child, therefore she wouldn't let them lead a good life.

She thought, "Have you guys not been gloating at my mishap? Well, keep it up."

Elina turned back and said, "Old Master, you will be fine."

Elina approached Johan, who then glanced at the butler. "Fetch me the rope."

"Yes, sir."

Confused, Elina looked at Johan and asked, "What rope?"

Johan answered, "Nothing. Sit down. I'm afraid I won't have much time to talk to you in the future."

Only then did Elina sit down. Although she was rather dubious, she had never mulled over the purpose of Johan asking her to stay.

It was not until the butler came behind her and took out the rope that she sensed the incoming danger, but it was too late!
