Chapter 202 I’ll Give You the Courage
Elias’ headache worsened as he listened to the discussions around him. He turned to look
at a bodywood and ordered, “Get him out of here!
“Yes”
With that, Oscar was lugged away from the funeral by the bodyguard He bellowed at Elies,
“Is this here you repay Old Mr. Winters for doting on you? His cause of death is still not
identified, so how condd you bury him without getting to the culprit first? Don’t you think
about why he rolled down the stairs all ed sudden? How are you supposed to lead the
Winters Family? All his love for you was for nothing”
Oscar’s harsh words deeply hurt Elias. How was it possible that Howard’s love for his
grandson was all for nothing? Elias wouldn’t let the cause of his grandfather’s death
remain a mystery forever, but he was afraid that if he looked into the matter, Amanda
might turn out to be the culprit.
He knew that he shouldn’t doubt Amanda, but the incident was too coincidental. Although
his rational mind told him he should get to the truth, his instincts told him he should trust
Amanda uncondition
Faced with the older man’s accusation, Amanda looked around and realized everyone was
glancing at her in a way as if she was indeed the murderer.
If she didn’t make herself clear, everyone in Imperia would get wind of the rumor that she
had killed. Howard by the very same night. She turned to look at Elias and said, “You have
to get to the truth so thứ Old Mr. Winters will truly be at peace in heaven, and idl also
prove my innocence. Since I’ve done nothing wrong, I’m not afraid of anyone looking into
the matter
With that, she left the funeral with her child. Elias was startled for a moment before feeling
ashamed that he even doubted Amanda in the first place,
He had repeatedly told himself that he had to trust the woman, but still, he couldn’t help
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtbut suspect that she might have killed his grandfather.
Behind the door, Grace had been hiding the entire time. When she saw what was going
on, she was anxious. If Elias looked into the matter, he might find some traces and get to
her.
I can’t let that happen! I have to twist the evidence so that it’ll point to Amanda!
Moreover, she’s the prime suspect now, for she was the one who discovered Old Mr.
Winters’ death.
As a sinister glint flashed across Grace’s eyes, she turned around and muttered, “Don’t
blame me for being ruthless, Amanda. You were unlucky to be present at the scene at that
time.”
Rain was pouring down on the cemetery. The clouds appeared so heavy that it was as if
the sky was about to come crashing down. One would feel depressed just by staying under
such weather conditions.
Elias held a black umbrella and stood in front of Howard’s grave while looking at his photo.
He had been standing in the rain for a long time.
Somewhere near him, Yacob had been keeping him company with an umbrella. He had
been Elias subordinate for years, so he understood his temperament very well. Elias didn’t
need any consolation at that moment. As a subordinate, he just had to stay by his side in
silence.
Elias had to sort out his emotions, and no one except himself could do that.
While standing in front of Howard’s grave and glancing at his photo, Elias finally said, “I
have to take my leave, Grandpa. I can’t keep you company anymore, for I have to deal
with many things. I have to find out the truth of your death and manage Winters
Enterprise. By the way, I’ve sent my mom back to the nursing home. I hope you won’t
blame me for it. She’ll be better off staying there, and it’s a way of protecting her as well.”
Regardless of what Elias said, the hot-tempered Howard would never reply to him again.
Only the endless silence and the sounds of pouring rain responded to him.
Elias felt his heart getting twisted. He was in so much pain that he could no longer say
anything. Despite
young age, he had experienced the pain of losing the people closest to him twice.
his
After standing in front of the grave for a while longer, he said, “I’ll visit you again.”
Then, he turned around and left. When he passed by his father’s grave, he couldn’t help
but let out a laugh, for he found everything laughable and ridiculous.
He didn’t believe that curses existed in this world, but there was no way it was a
coincidence that he repeatedly lost his family members.
He wondered if his grandfather and father would reunite in the other world.
After his father passed away, Howard always said he dreamed of his son and missed him
very much.
When Yacob saw Elias leaving, he quickly followed him. “Where are we going now, Mr.
Winters?”
“To the club.”
“Are you going to meet up with anyone?” Yacob was instantly ready to get to work,
thinking that Elias was going to look into the cause of Howard’s death.
Much to his surprise, Elias replied impassively, I’m going to drink.”
What?! Yacob was startled, thinking that he had misheard him. Hasn’t he pulled himself
together already? Why is he going to drink again?
Yacob let out a cough. Although he knew he shouldn’t interfere in Elias’ affairs, he had a
duty to give him a reminder in such a situation.
“Mr. Winters… After Old Mr. Winters passed away, the board of directors practically
became a mess. All of them want to get more power for themselves. As such, you have to
pull yourself together. If you still go to the club and drink, all of your shares will be
snatched from you. When Old Mr. Winters sees that in heaven, he’ll be mad.”
Upon finishing his words, Yacob realized he had crossed the line. “I’m sorry, Mr. Winters…”
Elias stopped in his tracks and shot Yacob a look before saying, “Do you think I’m oblivious
to the things. you already know? Yes, I’m going to the club to drink, but I’m not trying to
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmget myself drunk. I’m going to retrieve my grandfather’s shares.”
He had been dejected for a few days. During that period, his aunt Anna snatched
Howard’s shares and even partnered up with the lawyer to alter the will.
Although he had been doing nothing, it didn’t mean he wasn’t aware of what was going
on. In the past few days, Anna had been boasting that Howard loved her the most and
even gave her all the shares. Everyone was puzzled as to why such a thing even
happened.
Yacob said with a smile, “Way to go, Mr. Winters! You have no idea how haughty your aunt
has been over the past few days. Not only has she pulled a dirty trick to snatch all the
shares, but she has also been spreading rumors about you.”
While walking forward, Elias asked, “What has she been saying about me?”
“She…” Yacob didn’t have the nerve to tell him about it, for the woman’s words were too
mean.
“I’ll give you the courage. Tell me everything.”
Yacob cleared his throat and told him about the rumors Anna had been spreading. “She
said you might not be your father’s son, which was why Old Mr. Winters wasn’t willing to
give you the shares. He had been doting on you just to put on a show for the outsiders.
She also claimed that you were a jinx. Your father and grandfather passed away because
of you. Also-
Elias bellowed, “Enough! Say no more!”
Anna had been spreading false rumors about Elias as if he was a monster. If she wasn’t
taught a lesson, she would likely kick Elias out of the board of directors.
When Howard was still around, Anna had been complaining that he was partial toward
Jensly and Elias. Now that he passed away, she started fabricating rumors.
After Elias got into the car, he said, “Go to the club now and tell my good-for-nothing
cousin to come and
see me.”
“Yes.” Yacob got into the driver’s seat and drove the car out of the cemetery.
