Chapter 159 The Old Story

Chapter 159 The Old Story

After Colin finished talking, he hung up the phone.

Not long after, Robert and two bodyguards appeared in the room with York.

York looked pale and seemed to be in great fear.

"Co... Colin."

Colin leaned back in his seat with biting an unlit cigarette, he sneered, "You are so hard to get."

A thin layer of sweat broke out on York's forehead, he said, "Colin, you overestimate me."

Colin said, "I will never underestimate an enemy."

York pursed his lips tightly and forced himself to look into Colin's eyes. He swallowed hard and said, "Colin, I just want to take care of old Mr. Farrell. I don't want to be involved in the resentment between Hank and you."

Colin teased, "I didn't know that you are such a filial person."

York was speechless.

Colin removed the cigarette from his lips and twisted it in his hand. The cigarette broke into two pieces and the tobacco scattered. He asked, "So, how long do you want to be the filial son of my grandfather?" York answered, "When old Mr. Farrell goes to the Elysium, I will take the initiative to leave the Farrells."

Colin said playfully, "Elysium?"

York was frightened by Colin's laughing and he said, "Yes."

Colin smiled with an indistinguishable expression. He said, "I'm afraid that I have to let you down, Mr. Blake. I don't think grandfather will leave that peacefully."

Colin sounded extremely polite by calling him "Mr. Blake" and yet it sounded sarcastic too.

When York heard that, he was stunned.

Everything that Colin said was very straightforward. York would understand it even if he was a fool.

Old Mr. Farrell wouldn't leave that peacefully.

It meant that Colin was pretty sure that something would happen to old Mr. Farrell.

York had been working for old Mr. Farrell for many years and did a lot of dirty jobs. He had also learned a lot of ruthless methods to get things done.

However, York wasn't from the Farrells. Despite he knew all the methods, it would never be sufficient since he didn't have any support.

Old Mr. Farrell was only treating him nicely superficially. But behind the scenes, he guarded York better than anyone else.

After all, York's feeling toward old Mr. Farrell was complicated. On one hand, he was grateful for his kindness to employ him. On the other hand, he was annoyed about the fact that old Mr. Farrell deliberately repressed him.

The atmosphere in the room was in stalemate for a few seconds. York took the initiative to talk, "Colin, is it unavoidable for me to get involved in the mess this time?"

Colin didn't answer his question. He raised his chin lazily to Robert.

Robert got his instruction. He walked to York and passed him a sealed file pocket.

York took it with a frown as if he had received a hot potato. After a while, he opened it up carefully.

That was something serious in the file pocket.

York looked at Colin with his eyes wide open after he glanced at it. He asked, "Is that true?"

Colin smirked, "What do you think?"

York's expression sank. He was flipping the documents in his hand while tightening his hand and holding onto the file pocket.

The document in the file pocket was the investigation's result from the informant that Colin placed in the Farrells.

Tiffany and Hank were worried that old Mr. Farrell would give the company to Colin. Therefore, they had bribed the Farrells' family doctor secretly.

One of the blood pressure drugs that old Mr. Farrell was having now, would cause irreversible damage to his kidney in the long term. Eventually, he would die because of kidney failure.

In order to not be suspected, they had already found a scapegoat.

The scapegoat was York.

Since about half a year ago, they had started to ask someone to use the name of the Farrells' foe to make regular deposits into York's bank account secretly. If something went wrong, York would take the blame.

With the long game that Tiffany was playing, they couldn't deny that she was good at keeping her equanimity.

They planned for two years before letting the cat out of the bag.

The more York looked at the document, the worse his expression became.

Reading till the end, York clenched his teeth and said, "The Farrells is such a ruthless and cruel place."

Colin mocked, "I thought you would have known it since you have been living with the Farrells for such a long time." York said, "That isn't my bank account."

Colin said, "That is your bank account. It is all in black and white. It's just that the account isn't opened by you."

York gasped, "What do you want to me do, Colin?"

Colin got up and walked to York. He put his hands inside his pockets and looked at York from the top, "There are two things I need you to do. You have to let old Mr. Farrell know about Tiffany and Hank's plan since he is still conscious."

York was weighing the pros and cons. He asked, "What will be the second one?"

Colin lowered his voice, "Mr. Blake, are you close with Faye's father?"

York was stunned after hearing that, he answered, "I am not close with him."

Colin put his hand and patted York's shoulder after hearing that and said, "Think about it properly, Mr. Blake."

It seemed like Colin was patting him gently but instead it was hard. York's body froze. He endured the pain without making any noise and said, "Colin, I can help you for the first thing. But the second thing..." Before York could finish speaking, Colin interrupted with a contemptuous smile, and said, "For the first thing, there are many people in the Farrells who could get it done."

York swallowed hard and seemed to get what Colin actually meant.

The reason why Colin was giving him a chance to save himself was that he wanted to inquire about Shepard.

York's shoulder was in pain because of Colin's pinching. He gritted his teeth for a few minutes and said after a deep breath, "Shepard was the housekeeper of the Farrells before his death."

Colin changed his expression instantly and said, "What?"

York turned his head to look at Colin's hand which was on his shoulder, smiled, and said, "Colin, I am old. Please go easy on me."

Colin withdrew his hand with a cold face and said, "Keep going."

York felt that the joint of his shoulder and arm was dislocated. The pain was killing him but he continued without any delay, "Shepard was the housekeeper of the Farrells for nearly ten years. I heard that he has been working for old Mr. Farrell since he was 20 years old."

Colin asked, "Why did Shepard die?"

York shook his head and said, "Frankly speaking, I have no idea. I only vaguely heard from old staffs, who were dismissed by the Farrells that Shepard seemed to have stolen something from the Farrells." Colin frowned and said, "What did he steal from the Farrells that made old Mr. Farrell want to kill him?"

York answered, "Maybe it isn't an object."

Colin was confused and squinted at York.

York continued, "It's a person."
