Chapter 942: Chapter 942: Suicide_1

The explosion on the yacht had greatly weakened the Howard family. The subsequent infighting continued to drain the family’s resources, whereas Alexander Summers had both money and people. He could easily start afresh elsewhere; there was really no need for him to take over the current mess.

Even now, there were still people from within the Howard family defecting to Pearlpoint City from time to time.

Birds choose the best trees to nest in.

Alexander was destined for the chaotic era like a cunning hero, while Damian Howard was bound to his sickbed. Such a brutal contrast left the Howard family in unrest.

Unless Alexander died.

Perhaps only with his death would those people truly submit to Damian wholeheartedly.

But in the end, Damian still lost.

He stared at Alexander for a long time, his gaze slowly moving to Jerome, whose young face showed confusion and fear, the helplessness of being unable to control his own fate.

Was this person really meant to succeed as the family head?

“Alright,” Damian nodded after a while, “Here’s a document. Have Jerome sign it, and from then on, he will be the head of the Howard family.”

Jerome was shocked.

This—this must be a joke, right?

He turned incredulously to look at Alexander, then back at Damian, wondering if this was just a casual joke between the two.

But Damian really took out a document from the bedside cabinet.

Jerome stared, shocked to the point where his mind went blank!

Damian’s hands were tightly clutching that stack of documents, his eyes dark and still, like a quiet, cold pond without a ripple.

One side of the document lifted slightly, revealing the dark mouth of a gun barrel beneath, aimed directly at Alexander.

Zack Wallace was taken aback, “Careful!”

He swiftly pulled out his own gun!

But before he could fire, Alexander was quicker. He pushed Zack aside, and a bullet immediately veered off its path, hitting the pillow behind Damian with a loud bang!

Everything happened too fast. Jerome fell to his knees, weak with fear, as the clanging sound of guns being drawn echoed in his ears. Every person in the room had their guns up, creating a dangerously tense standoff!

“Put them all down!” Alexander bellowed suddenly.

The guns were slowly lowered, including those on Damian’s side.

Damian’s mouth curled into a cold, mocking sneer. Alexander’s influence was still present in the Howard family, and even the people at Damian’s side were susceptible to it.

Alexander walked towards Damian with a stern face.

Lily stepped in front of him, “Roy—”

She thought Alexander intended to harm her brother.

Alexander, however, pushed her aside, walked expressionlessly to the bedside, and took the gun from Damian’s hand.

With a slight exertion, the gun’s direction was changed, ending up in Alexander’s hand.

He deftly removed the magazine, which was completely empty.

No bullets.

A gun without bullets?

Everyone looked at each other, not understanding Damian’s intentions.

“Looking for someone to cushion your fall in death, is that it?” A trace of mockery emerged on Alexander’s indifferent face, “If I had accidentally killed you just now, people would remember you as someone who lost his position due to being shot.

Wouldn’t that seem less humiliating than giving up power willingly due to weakness and inability?”

Damian’s face turned ashen, but he remained silent.

Alexander threw the empty gun back at him, coldly saying, “How pathetic. Even in seeking death, you have to calculate that one bullet meant for someone else.”

“Isn’t it all thanks to you?!” Damian’s eyes were bloodshot with raging fury, “I saved you! But how did you repay me?! You stole my last chance!”

Damian had gotten wind of the matter of possessing someone else’s body.

“You knew that was impossible,” Alexander said, looking at him, “If that method really worked, you wouldn’t be seeking death today.”

Struck where it hurt, Damian violently swept the gun and documents off the table, shouting loudly, “Get out! Get out of here!!!—”

Alexander looked at him indifferently and then turned and walked away.

Zack and the others immediately followed.

As they reached the elevator and had just pressed the button, a gunshot suddenly rang out from the distant ward.

Then came Lily’s piercing scream, “Brother!!!”
