Chapter 31: A Calumniation
Chapter 31: A Calumniation
Bruce was stunned when he heard Jacob’s words.
He then immediately understood what Jacob meant.
He could only endure it silently.
“I don’t want to die, elder brother, please save me!”
At this point, Bruce was not afraid of losing face. Instantaneously, he quickly ran over and knelt in front
of Brian.
All he wanted was to survive!
Morris, who was also known as Dr. Swift had been doctoring all his life and he never did a mistake. If
Dr. Swift did treat him, Bruce knew that he would definitely survive.
When Fiona saw Bruce bagging, she immediately wanted to ridicule him.
Of course, she would not disagree to save Bruce. She was just angry.
However, it seemed like Brian already anticipated what Fiona was going to do. He immediately pressed
her arm and stopped her.
“Bruce, since I know you’re sick, I will definitely not ignore you. Even if you don’t say anything, I’ll also
let Jacob and the others save you, quickly get up!”
Brian quickly helped Bruce up.
“It’s just that both Jacob and Dr. Swift said that you, sister-in-law and Marry are sick, but your son-in-
law is totally fine, I wonder what is the reason?”
Brian reminded.
When Brian saw that Bruce did not fuss about the matter that he had purposely tried to embarrass
Bruce, he had a hint of shame in his heart.
But, after receiving the confirmed answer from his elder brother, Bruce heaved a sigh of relief and felt
that he could have continued to survive again.
At this moment, after hearing such words from his elder brother, Bruce realized there was something
wrong too.
However, even if he doubted in his heart, it was futile as he did not have evidence.
Brian knew that if Jacob said that, then he must have known something. Without further delay, Bruce
looked at Jacob again.
Jacob sighed helplessly when he had eye contact with his father-in-law.
“The reason is simple. It’s because you guys are tainted with the scents the same as these things that
are several times more intense. If someone can still survive for a long period after being eroded by the
evil mana, then there must be something wrong!”
While Jacob was speaking, he pointed at those jades and bracelets that Tripp had brought as gifts.
Hearing that, those relatives who had already put their gifts on the table hurriedly took a few steps
backward as if they were afraid of being harmed by something.
Whereas, those who were greedily keeping the gifts so far, were also frightened. They quickly took the
gifts out, threw them onto the table and stood far from them.
As soon as Jacob said this, Tripp, who was in the crowd, began to feel his heart throbbing with fear.
And Marry, who was extremely arrogant towards Jacob at the beginning, hurriedly took off the earrings
with her trembling hands.
“You, you mean this kind of thing?” She quickly looked at Jacob.
Jacob revealed a sneer, “This’s only one of them. The gifts brought by Tripp have evil mana that is
normally produced in the tombs and is not so intense. At most, the evil mana will just make you very
sick. However, the evil mana from the things that you guys wear is countless times more intense and I
am worried that they are not just naturally tainted in the tombs…”
If they were not naturally tainted, what else could it be? Someone purposely did this?
Bruce looked at Tripp.
Tripp quickly took a deep breath to calm himself down, “I bought these things from a second-hand
dealer because they were genuine and the price was low so I didn’t care so much. But I never
expected that these are the burial goods from the graves.
Dad, Mom, Marry, I’m sorry, it’s all my fault for wanting to do my best to provide a more luxurious
lifestyle for you all. I really never expect that it will almost lead to serious consequences, it’s all my
fault…”
Tripp showed a guilt-ridden face.
The expressions of Bruce and Marry, etc., now looked a little better.
It seemed that this was the truth.
Tripp also could not judge whether the evil mana on these things was intense or not.
They also hurriedly threw away all the things given by Tripp.
Bruce also decided that after returning to South China, he would throw away all the things given by
Tripp that were placed at home.
Then, he would buy a new house.
“Jacob, you calumniate me and try to destroy my family relationship because you hold a grudge that I
embarrassed you just now, how can you be so petty?”
Tripp could not contain his anger as his plot had almost been exposed. He stared at Jacob with his
eyes that flashed with fury and resentment.
He was not afraid of offending Jacob.
He had been in South China for years, but not North China and Riverside City. There were so many
doctors and hospitals in the world and the worst-case scenarios were that when he got sick in the
future, he would not seek treatment from Dr. Swift. In this way, Jacob would not be able to threaten
him.
He did not believe that Dr. Swift was so good that he could interfere in the matters in South China.
From Tripp’s point of view, Jacob was not that capable. Jacob was just relying on Morris to triumphantly
bluff and bluster.
Jacob looked at him as if he was looking at a fool.
The sneer on his face was even stronger.
What would happen to Bruce’s family had nothing to do with Jacob. Initially, Jacob did not intend to
meddle in their affairs and just wanted to let Morris heal Bruce and the other two people.
He had also warned them that there was something wrong with their son-in-law.
That was their own business whether they would be more cautious to take precautions against him.
I was too lazy to interfere in other’s business, but you, yourself came to look for trouble.
Good.
Very good.
Jacob smiled and said, “I originally have no intention of meddling, but since you come to provoke me to
ask for death, I’ll do it as you wish.”
“What do you mean?” Tripp suddenly felt a bad feeling flooding his mind.
“You’ll know it very soon.” Jacob’s lips curled even more.
Then, his eyes flashed with a strange black light.
“The Nine Secrets of Emperor of the Dark Realm, the Second Secret, Dementor!” Jacob’s lips moved
in which a few bytes that could only be heard by himself were uttered.
Then, Tripp who questioned Jacob in an agitated manner about why Jacob wanted to smear him
suddenly had a stagnant expression on his face. His eyes apparently had lost vitality.
“Tripp, tell me why do you want to harm your wife’s family?” Jacob asked.
After Jacob asked this question, everyone, including Brian, etc., was slightly startled.
Whereas, although Bruce and the other relatives did not dare to say any mocking words, they were all
actually disdainful.
Who did you think you are, you let him say then he would say?
Just because of Dr. Smith called you master and listened to you, then you really thought you’re the king
of heaven whom everyone must listen to?
Everyone was surprised except for Kaley.
Instead, her pair of beautiful eyes were glowing. She stared at Jacob, who was her husband without
turning her eyes away. This is from NôvelDrama.Org.
Last time, she had witnessed Jacob’s miraculous hypnotic technique in the company.
As expected, when Jacob’s words were just uttered…
Then, over here, glassy-eyed, Tripp slowly said, “The reason why I want to harm them is that I am
greedy to get the fortune of Bruce who is an old fogey. Otherwise, how is that possible for me to have a
matrilocal marriage to become a son-in-law, this is totally shameful.
But it doesn’t matter. I have some friends who know how to do crooked ways. I bought a lot of funeral
goods from them and I asked them to use special methods to make the goods tainted with a very
intense evil mana. Next, I found a chance to give these to each of the family members one by one so
that I can slowly kill them without being realized.
Three years, I only need to endure for three years. Within these three years, Bruce will use his social
relationship and power to help me have a brighter career path. After three years, they will all be ridden
by the evil mana and die of exhaustion.
By then, I’ll be able to walk further in my career path and take over an inheritance worth multi-million.
Then, I can go and find a beautiful wife who’s gentle and virtuous, it’ll be extremely great!
I’m really fed up with that tigress, Marry.
Not only having an unattractive looking, but she also has a bad temper. If it isn’t for the family fortune, I
will not have tolerated her!”
Tripp really obeyed Jacob and started to answer his question.
Everyone was absolutely flabbergasted.
Tripp slowly spoke out the words hidden at the bottom of his heart.
Suddenly, the scene became totally silent.
There was an extreme level of silence.
Both Bruce and Marry showed a face that was contorted with rage and fury.
Marry, especially, was about to storm out.
At this moment, Jacob snapped his fingers.
Suddenly, Tripp’s eyes regained spirit.
Apparently, he did not remember what he had just said at all.
Then, Tripp immediately questioned Jacob again with an agitated face, “Jacob, why did you calumniate
me?”
