Chapter 1355

"If we don't take action, we're done for!" Arlen’s voice trembled with fervor. "Calvin, we're out of options.

It's either Darren, Bard, Eunice, and that little girl who go down, or it's curtains for us. We've got to take

the plunge."

"No, I'm not ready to die." Teresa dreamed of a lavish life, throwing money around like it was nothing,

living the high life.

Bess wasn't keen on dying either. She had her whole future planned out.

“We've reached the point of no return, Arlen said, looking to Calvin for confirmation.

Calvin and Arlen nodded in agreement. "He's right, now's our best shot. Calvin, we're one step away

from victory!"

Calvin mulled over another strategy in his mind. “There's one more way, a safer bet, that could

preserve everything we've got."

“What way?" The siblings and their spouses were all ears, eager for a plan that promised such ease

and security.

"The key lies with Eunice. With Darren suddenly taken ill, and Eunice and Bard rushing him to the

hospital, they won't have a moment to gossip about our doings tonight. As long as Eunice keeps mum,

Bard and Darren will be none the wiser."

That would give them the time they needed to devise an even more foolproof plan.

“But Eunice's no pushover. How could she not spill the beans? She won't miss a chance to rat us out!"

Bess suddenly felt her husband's idea was half-baked, as good as useless.

Yet Arlen couldn't help but ask, "Calvin, you sure about this? Eunice's a tough nut to crack. We just

tried to corner her and take out her husband. Would she really play ball?"

"We'll have to cut a deal with her.” Calvin pondered before suggesting, "She's always had a soft spot

for you.

Pretend to ask her for the hospital's address, if she's alone, try to negotiate."

Arlen doubted Eunice would agree, but Calvin made a valid point—if she kept silent, Darren and Bard

would remain oblivious to their scheme, allowing them to plot more meticulously and ensure a fail-safe

outcome next time.

"I'll give it a shot; was all Arlen could say.

Meanwhile, in the car.

Arabella spoke calmly, "No one's following us. Grandpa, you can wake up now."

Darren hadn't expected his granddaughter to be so astute and opened his eyes, looking back to make

sure, then asked, "How did you know I was faking?"

“Bella is a renowned doctor. She was the lead surgeon on your operation. How could she not see

through such a simple ruse?" Eunice chuckled, turning to Arabella. "Did you figure it out while checking

his pulse?"

“Even before that; Arabella said with a slight smile. "Grandpa, your acting is terrible."

“Was I that unconvincing? Then Calvin must have caught on, Darren suddenly regretted not having put

on a more realistic performance.

"Don't worry, they were too scared seeing you to notice whether you were acting,’ Eunice reassured

him with a laugh. "But yes, your acting skills could definitely be improved."

Laughter filled the car.

Bard looked at Eunice, "I did as we agreed. I boarded the plane and when it flew over the mountains, I

parachuted out. My men picked me up and we returned to the lodge, rounding up all of Calvin's guys."

Eunice’s smile widened, "I also stuck to the plan. When I saw the video of the plane exploding, I acted

shocked and furious. Then, when they let their guard down, I recorded everything."
