Watching Lauren suddenly collapse in pain, Maeve, who moments ago had a gentle expression, immediately revealed a malevolent look.
"My dear nephew, you really are incredibly foolish! Did you actually think I came here to invite you for tea and snacks!"
"You are far too naive; after so many years, you still haven't grown up, adorably childish."
"With you like this, how could you possibly manage this vast family fortune? If you ask me, it's better to let me do it!"
Maeve sneered, squatting in front of Lauren, slapping his face as if lecturing a child, her eyes filled with disdain.
"Why, why are you doing this? Didn't you say that the grudges of your generation wouldn't involve ours?"
Lauren, seemingly enduring intense physical pain, asked Maeve before him with a look of disbelief.
Hearing this, Maeve burst into laughter: "You fool, you believe whatever I say! My feud with your Father is irreconcilable; I've long wished he were dead, and as his offspring, you naturally deserve to die too."
"But you're making a move here, aren't you afraid you won't be able to leave?" Lauren asked curiously.
"Heh heh, are you referring to the female secretary behind you?"
"I don't mind telling you, the poison you've been affected by wasn't ingested, but inhaled."
"Because from the moment I opened this box, the poisonous gas had already spread throughout the entire room."
"Therefore, everyone in this room has been poisoned."
"And your beautiful secretary naturally couldn't escape either; she must die too."
Maeve's face was grim, her eyes slightly red, looking quite terrifying.
"So that's it. To kill me, you, my aunt, really went to great lengths!"
"It seems my parents' deaths are also linked to you!!"
Lauren lay limply on the ground, staring at Maeve with a grim expression as he spoke.
Hearing Lauren's words, Maeve sneered and said, "You don't need to try and trick me. You're a dying man, what does it matter if I tell you? Yes, I had your parents killed. I orchestrated everything from behind the scenes."
"So that means you've joined Hydra."
"Heh, I didn't expect you to have investigated this far. It's quite surprising. I never paid attention to you before, which now seems like a mistake. But it doesn't matter; you will ultimately die by my hand."
As Maeve spoke, she pulled out a dagger from her waist, then without the slightest hesitation, she fiercely plunged it towards Lauren's heart.
However, just then, Lauren, who had been lying motionless on the ground, suddenly reached out his hand.
He then grabbed the dagger in Maeve's hand and easily snatched it away.
"You!!" Seeing that Lauren could still move and was so strong, Maeve's face couldn't help but show a look of disbelief.
She immediately realized she seemed to have been tricked. She instantly retreated towards the door, attempting to escape.
But just then, Miss 2b leaped forward, blocking her path ahead of time, and slowly closed the main hall doors.
In an instant, Maeve was trapped by Lauren in the main hall.
Meanwhile, Lauren, who had snatched the dagger, stretched lazily, then slowly and unhurriedly stood up.
"You... you're not poisoned? That's impossible!" Looking at Lauren standing perfectly fine in front of her, Maeve's eyes were filled with shock.
Seeing Maeve's astonished expression, Lauren sneered and said, "My foolish aunt, you didn't actually think I was an idiot, did you! In fact, from the moment I walked into the hall, I noticed your little trick."
"Putting the poisonous gas in the tea and snack box was indeed a clever move, but unfortunately, the potency of your gas isn't strong enough!"
"It had no effect on me at all; I even had to act out the poisoning symptoms myself. It's truly too disappointing."
Lauren's words were like a loud slap across Maeve's face, making her feel deeply humiliated.
One must know that this poison of hers was meticulously prepared; even someone as strong as an ox would die on the spot if they inhaled just a little.
Yet, at this moment, Lauren claimed it had no effect whatsoever. How could she possibly tolerate this?
Humiliation, this was blatant humiliation!
"You're not Lauren. Lauren isn't this strong, nor does he have this much cunning. Who exactly are you?"
Maeve's face was grim, and she immediately realized that the Lauren before her was completely different from the Lauren in her memory, as if he were a different person.
"Heh heh, my dear aunt, what nonsense are you talking about? If I'm not Lauren, then who is?"
Lauren had a playful expression, naturally unwilling to reveal his identity as a transmigrator to the other party.
"You can't fool me. The real Lauren Morgan was spoiled rotten by his parents long ago."
"He indulged in pleasure and women, had nothing in his head, he was just a good-for-nothing."
"And you, I must admit, you are very cunning and vicious!"
"Is that so? It seems you know me quite well!"
"However, people do grow."
"And my cunning and ruthlessness are far inferior compared to yours. As a sister, you actually personally plotted to harm your own brother."
"You venomous viper, you truly deserve to die!"
Lauren's tone was icy, wishing he could kill the woman before him on the spot.
He was a transmigrator, with no affection whatsoever for this so-called aunt before him.
"The one who deserves to die is your Father. If it weren't for him harming Elder Brother, how could I hate him so much? He ruined everything for me, so naturally, I had to seek revenge on him. He deserved his death."
"Is that so? The truth I know is different from what you know. Perhaps you can take a look at this."
As Lauren spoke, he opened a projection. This projection was divided into two parts. The first part meticulously recorded the argument between the original owner's Father and the old master regarding the issue of Family Head succession. In this footage, the original owner's Father strongly refused the request to become the Family Head.
But he was forced into it by the old master with no other option. The second part of the footage was quite explosive; it actually recorded the illicit affair between this aunt, Maeve, and his Elder Uncle.
And the reason the original owner's Father wanted to leave the Morgan Family to live his own life was precisely because of this matter. The impact this incident had on him was simply too great, to the extent that he no longer wanted to stay in the family.
Who knew that later his Elder Brother suddenly died unexpectedly, which is why he had no choice but to take up the position of Morgan Family head. However, it was precisely because of this that his sister, Maeve, thought he had orchestrated everything.
Thus, this series of events unfolded!
And looking at the scene within the projection, Maeve stood frozen on the spot, as if struck by a bolt from the blue. She never in her wildest dreams expected that the matter between her and Elder Brother had been known to her brother for so long.
"Turn it off, turn it off quickly!" Maeve became furious with embarrassment, roaring for Lauren to turn off the footage.
