Sylvia set down her wine glass. "Since Father Rosalyn is here, I must go and see him."Seeing Sylvia head toward the lounge, Mark followed eagerly behind.Standing still, Martha narrowed her eyes. She knew Mark was planning something against Sylvia in the lounge.She had always wanted Mark dead, so why not take advantage of this opportunity?Three individuals, each with their own agenda, converged in the lounge.Martha joined them, her plan clear: she would bide her time until Mark acted, then exploit Sylvia's fainting spell to eliminate Mark and pin the blame on Sylvia.The notion of employing another's hand for murder intrigued her. Such an opportunity was rare and not to be squandered.Mark, aware of Martha's deadly intentions, had been vigilant in his self-defense. He had thwarted her at every turn, leaving her no opening.Martha had not anticipated such a fortuitous turn of events.-Finding the lounge empty, Sylvia frowned. "Mr. Pentra, where is Father Rosalyn?"Fred h
Chapter 1434
After confirming that Mark was dead, Martha got up and left.-At that moment, Sylvia approached Eric's side, her gaze briefly shifting to Bryce. "Is deception a common trait in the Pentra family, Mr. Pentra? Your son claimed Father Rosalyn was in the lounge, yet there was no sign of him. Was it a ploy to lure me there?"He probably didn't anticipate my martial prowess."Bryce's smile froze on his face. Just a moment ago, he was puzzled by Sylvia's sudden appearance. After all, he had seen Mark lead Sylvia to the lounge—it should have been a successful endeavor. The surrounding onlookers smirked knowingly at Bryce. They knew Mark and Bryce too well. The father and son sharing the same woman was hardly a surprise. It seemed like Mark had set his sights on Sylvia but had failed to win her over.Bryce forced a smile. "Ms. Williams, Father Rosalyn did indeed visit our Pentra family and was here tonight. However, he dislikes such gatherings and prefers not to make his presence known

Even with a weapon in Sylvia's hand, she couldn't kill him!Bryce glared at the distributors. "Damn it! If it wasn't her, who else could have killed him? Give me back my son's life!"With that, he lunged at Sylvia.Eric wouldn't let him succeed. As Bryce moved, Eric stepped forward and threw a punch at him.A loud explosion echoed, and Bryce staggered back several steps. His eyes regained some calmness, even showing a hint of surprise. He was a legend, yet he was shaken back by just one punch from Eric?Impossible!Eric looked to be in his 30s at most. Being a legend at this age? It was ridiculous!"Mr. Pentra!" Eric's expression was icy. "Your son is dead, and we all mourn for him, but my wife is not a killer!"Wife?Bryce and Martha were bewildered!All along, they had thought Sylvia had climbed up using her body. Yet, she turned out to be Eric's wife?!While Bryce was still in a daze, Eric continued. "Mr. Pentra, there seems to be something suspicious about this matter. T

"I believe you
Chapter 1437
No wonder Bryce didn't confront anyone from the Innova Group and refrained from killing Sylvia. It didn't fit with her understanding of Bryce. It turned out that Bryce had already discovered something!Martha shrugged. "Dad, I don't know what you're talking about. Sylvia must have killed Mark. Why are you bothering with her instead of yelling at me?"Yes! After Mom died, I became an orphan, just a nobody!"Putting it nicely, I'm the eldest Pentra heiress. Putting it bluntly, I'm nothing but a nobody."Mark farts, and you rush to check if he's sick. And me? Have you ever cared about how I feel all these years?She suddenly burst into laughter. "Mark is dead, and you must be so sad, right? No heir left! Good riddance! Since he was born, I have been an orphan! He fought me for everything! I had to give him everything! If not, you all would beat me up!"Mark deserved to die! Hahaha! There won't be anyone in the Pentra family to compete with me for things anymore! No one to compete wi

"Bryce, are you kidding me?" Larry couldn't comprehend, but soon he did. He knew Martha was a lunatic, her temperament changing drastically after Mark's birth. But the fact that Martha killed Mark was still hard for him to accept."It's all because of the Innova Group!" Bryce slammed the table fiercely. "If the Innova Group hadn't come to Westlake City, Martha wouldn't have had the opportunity! It's all their fault!"When it came to shifting blame, Bryce was definitely adept. Given the past few decades of Martha and Mark, Mark's death was a foregone conclusion. No matter how hard Mark fought, he couldn't match Martha.Bryce said, "Larry, this Innova Group is not simple. One of their co-founders is a young man in his 30s. Eric actually managed to push me back with a single punch!"Look around the globe, how many such experts are there?"Whenever Bryce recalled the punch from last night, he felt a lingering fear!If someone his age pushed him back with a punch, he would be slight

Even the powerful Westlake distributors must die!He felt that after Mark's death, his own life had lost much of its meaning. Without him, the Pentras would still stand with Larry's support!Mark's funeral was simple and minimal—he was buried near the Pentra family's grounds.Bryce's hair had turned white as if he had aged twenty years in an instant."Damn bastards! I want you all dead! I want you to accompany Mark in death!" he howled and wept before Mark's grave.-Meanwhile, Martha lay in Larry's arms.She wanted to deal with Bryce.Father? In Martha's eyes, Bryce had long ceased to be her father. Since she dared to harm her own brother, she found it reasonable to do the same with Bryce.
Chapter 1440
Without the influence of the Pentras for the moment, the Innova Group began to expand its business in Westlake City.The distributors were eager to cooperate with the Innova Group. Although Sylvia hadn't killed Mark, the distributors perceived her involvement as conclusive.With Mark dead and the Pentras not daring to make a move, it proved they were no match for the Innova Group.The distributors were now making money and were glad they picked the right side.
