Right Person, Wrong Time

Chapter 1019 Things That Can't Be Settled

Colton narrowed his eyes and looked at Adam coldly, sneering. "Even?" His tone raised a little as he spoke, but his jet-black eyes remained emotionless as he enunciated, "She poisoned my son and caused my child to die inside my wife. Where do we go from that?"

Of course, Adam knew Colton was not someone he could provoke, but to protect Sasha, he had no choice but to go against him. "Mr. Gardner, Alvin has paid the price of killing your child with his life. As for your son, he was only mildly poisoned and is now doing fine, while Sasha has been brutally beaten up and suffered severe injuries. What more do you want from her?"

Faced with Adam's pressing words, Roger did not back down. Instead, he came forward and used his height to his advantage to overpower Adam. "Oh. Don't even think this is done, old man!" Glancing at Roger, Adam narrowed his faintly glinted eyes and snorted. "When has Lome become someone else's henchman?"

Roger's fists clenched so hard that they cracked, but just as he was about to reason with Adam, Colton came and stopped him. He gazed at Adam with a soft chuckle before saying, "Mr. Adam, there's no rule that says one must repay a life with another. I'm not generous, so when someone dares to hurt my wife and children, I will not let them off so easily!"

While listening to Colton's decisive statement, Roger muttered, "Finally, someone reasonable."

At that point, Adam knew things were about to get difficult. Regardless, he had already thought about this on his trip back and knew that Colton would not let Sasha off the hook that easily. That was why he had everything prepared before coming here.

As he narrowed his eyes, it brought out the wrinkles on his face. Having lived such a long life, how could I fail in front of a brat?

He laughed and slowly approached Colton, saying, "Mr. Gardner, you youngsters surely are young and ignorant, so you might not have considered something. I dared to return from abroad and appear before you, which means I'm fully prepared." While raising his head, his originally hunched figure slowly straightened up. Such a small change added a sense of strength to him.

When faced with Adam's threat, Colton was unfazed but gave him a cold stare while taunting, "Mr. Adam, why don't you try and see if you can bring her away from here."

Clutching tightly on his walking stick, Adam had his hands balled into fists as he glared sharply at Colton. He did not expect Colton to be such a tough nut to crack. His expression slowly became more solemn while looking at the saddened Sasha on the side. "The guy's dead. He won't wake up no matter how hard you cry!"

Hearing Adam's voice, Sasha finally had some kind of response. She slowly turned her head to look at him with her tear-filled eyes. That was the first time she felt such heartbreak. She even thought she was dreaming because Alvin died too abruptly. After composing herself, she looked at Adam and walked over.

Not intending to hide the truth, he confessed, "He's better off dead anyway. He wouldn't have lasted over six months with his condition!"

When Sasha heard what Adam said about Alvin, she suddenly felt a wave of anger as she looked at him with mad eyes. Then, she gritted her teeth and announced, "Even if he was destined to die, he could only die in my hands."

He chuckled softly and retorted, "And what are you doing now? Stop pretending like you feel sad for him. He's dead, and that is a fact. There are still a lot of things you need to do." Those words pulled her back to reality.
