Chapter 109
In a burst of pask, Susan’s voice turned shill as the blurted, “Twill do it I’ll apologize!”
Just news, she had clearly seen the murderous intent in Sharon’s eyes. She knew without a doubt that if she didn’t apologize, the
out of her alive.
Susan didn’t want to die, so she swallowed her pride and barked down. She figured that as long as she lived, she’d per
Sharon tilted her head slightly, a flicker el disappointment crossing her face. “Apologize to May then,” she said.
At first, Susan didn’t move. But eventually, she turned toward Marvin and said stiffly, “Sorry”
Marvin responded coolly, “I want to hear all three words.”
Susan clenched her teeth, seething “I am sorry” Her eyes turned red with fury, and deep down, she swore she’d make them pay back this humi tenfold.
Sharon studied her for a beat, her brows knitting together slightly. “Keeping you alive might be a mistake. You’re definitely going to make trouble for my brothers later. Maybe I should just finish this.”
She sounded completely serious like someone calmly weighing whether to swing down the blade already in her hand
Susan sucked in a sharp breath. “You’re going back on your word?”
Sharon nodded sweetly as she admitted, “Yep.”
At that, Susan’s whole body went limp, and she wondered, ‘What is she, a demon? Why doesn’t she ever play by the rules?
Suddenly, Sharon felt a hand wrapped around her wrist. She turned and saw that it was Wallace.
He smiled warmly, “No need for that, Shari. We’re not afraid of the Pierce family. Dad always said that just because they throw away their dignity doesn’t mean we should. You made a promise, so stick to it.”
Marvin came over as well and said, “Yeah, he’s right, Shari Laccept the apology.”
Sharon relented for her brothers‘ sake, murmuring. “Fine”
Susan collapsed to the floor, gasping for air. For a second there, she had truly thought she was going

“Mom, are you alright?” Nolan rushed over and helped Susan to a safer spot. When he saw the bruises darkening her neck, fury surged through him like a spark to dry kindling. “Sharon, I swear I’ll kill you!”
Sharon stared at him calmly, her voice flat. “Go ahead.”
But Nolan was stopped by Susan, who coughed harshly, still catching her breath. “Don’t go,” she managed to say.
Having narrowly escaped death, Susan finally got a chance to take a good look at Sharon. She really is worthy of being called 5–level. Funderestimated
her Sun sighed to herself.
Steadying herself, Susan rose to her feet and said, “Let’s go, Nolan. We’ll deal with this another day,
With her lips pressed in a thin line, Sharon wondered whether she should clue Cameron and the others in. After all, she knew better than anyone that unfinished business always had a way of coming back to haunt them.
The way the Pierce family had acted just now set off alarm bells in her mind, and she couldn’t help but worry that if any of her brothers g. they could be walking straight into danger

As he spoke, his expression was icy, making it clear he was dating Susan to rehose like the second coming of trouble itselt
At that sight, Susan felt a tight pressure in her chest like something heavy had lodged there and wouldn’t move,
Someone in the crowd spoke up. “Exactly! What about all these Velvyn? The Pierce family isn’t planning to take them back? This isn’t a zos, you know
Susan’s face darkened as she replied, “I’ll have someone take care of it.
Wallace said, “No, you’re not leaving. Someone from the Pierce family needs to stay behind to vote. He was still thinking clearly. As much as the Pierce family, this wasn’t the time to screw things up
Malcolm gave his head a light slap. “Right, my bad. The Pierce family can’t leave just yet Mrs. Susan Pierce, you can head to the hospital if you want, but Mr. Nolan Pierce should stay to witness the vote
Nolan scoffed, “As if I care about some stupid vote. Isn’t Sharon the one calling the shots now?”
But Susan had a longer game in mind, so she said, “Fine. We’ll stay for now.” She wanted to see exactly what kind of show Sharon planned to put on.
With that, the group headed to the main hall, only to find it completely empty. The people from Vance Mansion had left.
Marvin sneered, “Weren’t they all high and mighty before? What, pot scared and slipped away now?”
Malcolm clicked his tongue before sighing. “I send someone to look for them.”
He grumbled inwardly, “Way to drop the hall at crunch time. This is messing with my chance to earn 10 million Hunter Coins Ugh, what a hassle. way, there’s no changing it now, The Vanco family’s successor is getting replaced for sure.
