Chapter 987 A Piece Of News
After Kurt heard that the despicable child born of that malicious woman was looking for him, his face immediately darkened.
I bet she's here simply because she wants to plead with me to spare her mother.
Why would I want to see her?
Share some important information with me? She's nothing more than a pretty face, good for show but not for use. What valuable information could she possibly have?
“Shoo her off immediately, and tell her that if she dares to bother me again, don't blame me for disregarding our sibling relationship.”
The butler remained still, hesitating whether or not to speak.
Kurt looked at him somewhat impatiently and asked coldly, “Are you deaf? Can't you hear what I'm saying?”
The butler hastily spoke up. “Mr. Kurt, someone reported to me that Ms. Cersei seems to have escaped from the church. It appears she was forced to become a nun.”
Kurt paused slightly as he toyed with the seal in his hand, a thoughtful glint flashing in his eyes.
Church?
A nun?
Could it be that after Artemis challenged the White family, he sent her over there?
But what does all this have to do with him?
I wish nothing more than to skin that vile woman's despicable offspring alive and tear her apart. Did they really expect me to come to their rescue?
How ridiculous!
“Enough talk. Throw her out.”
“B-But Ms. Cersei insists that she has some crucial information. Mr. Kurt, after all, meeting her wouldn't cause you any harm. Why don't we bring her in for a thorough questioning? If she really has useful information, wouldn't it be a shame if we just let it slip through our fingers?”
After giving it some thought, Kurt felt that there was some truth to what the butler said. Who knows what kind of leverage that little wretch might have over Artemis?
“Bring her in.”
“Noted.”
A moment later, Cersei was shoved in by two bodyguards and harshly thrown onto the marble floor.
She slowly lifted her head, her gaze settling on Kurt.
She knew that even though the man was her second brother, there was no sibling affection between them, only hatred.
So what if that were the case?
As long as she could protect herself and not be forced to become a nun for life, even enemies could become allies.
She truly despised that old geezer who shared the same family name as her.
She was his own flesh and blood, yet he shockingly complied with Bailey's wishes, sending her off to the church and ruining her life.
Fine! If they don't let me live, then they shouldn't expect to have it easy either.
I'll drag them down with me.
“K-Kurt, I really have some important information to tell you.”
Kurt looked down at the seal in his hand, a wry smile forming on his face. “You're so useless that you were forced to become a nun. What important information could you possibly have?” he questioned.
A hint of embarrassment flashed across Cersei's face.
However, thinking of those villains who sent her to the church, she bit her lip tightly, forcefully suppressing the strong resentment in her heart.
“I was sent to the church, and it was the old geezer with the same family name as us who did it. Also, he was also acting on Bailey's orders.”
Kurt gleaned a lot of important information from her words.
For instance... Why would that old geezer abandon his own daughter just because of a single remark from Bailey?
Could it be...
“Get to the point. I don't have time to beat around the bush with you here.”
Cersei bit her lip firmly, gathering her courage to say, “I can discuss serious matters with you, but you must promise to spare my life.”
Kurt sneered, “Kill you? I wouldn't want to dirty my hands.”
That could be considered as an indirect agreement.
Having secured a way out, Cersei felt her confidence finally increased a little. She briefly explained the collaboration between Artemis and Wilfred.
Upon hearing that, Kurt abruptly stood up from the couch.
His icy gaze pierced Cersei. Gritting his teeth, he demanded, “Repeat what you just said.”
However, saying it again wouldn't change anything.
After hearing Cersei's summary for the second time, Kurt tightly gripped the seal in his hand.
So it turns out that the old geezer from the courtyard had already neutralized the poison. Recently, he's been acting behind my back.
In other words, the White family has already fallen into his hands. He is collaborating with Artemis, using the latter to hand over the seal to me. His intention is to lure me into the trap and then catch me off guard.
A towering rage began to surge within Kurt's belly. He clenched the seal in his hand tightly, his eyes flashing with a chilling murderous intent.
I should have killed that old geezer.
Fortunately, he didn't act immediately after getting this seal. Otherwise, he would have stepped right into their trap, never to recover.
“How can you prove that everything you're saying is true?”
Cersei looked at him squarely, her words deliberate and clear. “It's true that I was sent to become a nun. Why don't you investigate who sent me to the church? Then everything will come to light. Kurt, we are both sacrifices abandoned by our family, sharing the same plight. Now, all I want is to seek revenge for myself. We share the same goals. You shouldn't doubt me.”
Kurt settled back into the couch, suppressing the anger boiling within him. He gestured to the couch next to him. “Sit there and tell me in detail what has been happening at the other residence lately.”
“Okay.”
Half an hour later, Cersei tore through the silence. “That's the situation. I like Mr. Luther and tried to seduce him, but in the end, Bailey... What's even more infuriating is that my beloved father, whom I've respected for over a decade, chose to abandon me, to sacrifice me, all to curry favor with the Luther family. I despise them all.”
Kurt looked at the seal in his hand, a sarcastic smile tugging at the corner of his lips.
Old geezer, you think I'll just walk into your trap at White Group headquarters? I won't play into your hands.
With this seal in my hand, I will gradually erode your power, hollow you out completely, and by the time you realize it, it will be too late for regrets.
“Do you like Artemis?”
“Yes, indeed.”
“Excellent, as expected of my sister, you have a good eye. From now on, you'll be living here with me. Let's join forces to deal with the old geezer and Bailey. One day, I promise that I'll make your wish come true, and you'll marry Artemis.” Content protected by Nôv/el(D)rama.Org.
Excitement flashed in Cersei's eyes as she asked eagerly, “Really? Really? Will you really help me, Kurt?”
“Indeed, with this information, I will help you achieve your wish.”
I've heard that women who go mad for love can be quite terrifying. I could use this foolish woman to deal with Bailey.
“Thank you, Kurt. As long as you give me the opportunity, I will do my utmost to take down Bailey.”
For two consecutive days, Artemis had not received any news of Kurt taking action.
Kurt's impassiveness left him somewhat puzzled.
With the seal in hand, logically, that guy should have gone to the White family first. He should have used his power to regain control over the high-ranking members and then assertively taken over the leadership. That was what should have happened.
It's been three days already. Why hasn't there been any movement on his end?
On the west side of the gazebo, Eunice hid behind the beams, quietly watching the noble and elegant figure in the garden.
When did she start admiring this man who had a godlike presence?
It all started from that international business gala three years ago.
She attended a banquet with her father, and from a distance, she watched the man on the stage sharing his success story, her heart fluttering unexpectedly.
Every move he made, every word he spoke, was deeply etched into her soul.
She knew that he was the ruler of the Luther family, the undisputed king of this world, standing at the pinnacle of the pyramid, overlooking all beings.
She yearned for him, but he was beyond her reach, so she suppressed her surging emotions.
Now that her family had perished, she was left alone in the world. She strived to fight her battle, knowing that success would be her fortune while failure could cost her life.
