Chapter 617
At this moment, Valerie was standing at the door with Katherine to watch the commotion. When Lincoln saw her, he immediately pointed at her and said, "It must be this brat. Capture her!"
The firefighters and police also came over. Valerie crossed her arms. "Why are you arresting me?"
Lincoln said, "You set the fire! Arrest her and put her in jail!"
Valerie said disdainfully, "What's wrong with burning down my own house? This is the Grant Manor. I'm still Matthew's wife and the owner of this house. Do I still need to inform you to burn down my house? Arrest me? I think I should arrest you and let you sober up! You brought people to block the door and prevent me from entering.
"Aren't you guilty of trespassing? Since you're Matthew's uncle, I have been polite to you. But don't forget that it's not your turn to lead the Grant family yet! Matthew is just missing. He's not dead! You don't deserve to occupy the Grant family! If you're not convinced, I'll sue you! Get your men out of here right now!"
Lincoln's face was pale. The police officer looked at him and said, "Mr. Grant, this is your family matter, but I have to remind you that this house is not under your name yet!"NôvelDrama.Org owns © this.
He was instantly speechless. He could only glare fiercely at Valerie, but he still refused to give up. "You brat, you still won't give up. Even though Matthew is missing, it's impossible for him to come back alive!"
Fred added, "That's right! Even so, you can't start a fire. What if someone dies!"
Valerie snorted. "Aren't you still alive? Besides, even if I burn someone to death, I'll pay with my life. What are you, Fred, here for?"
Fred gritted his teeth and was about to step forward when a call came. Lincoln picked up the call, and Valerie also received a call.
Valerie was shocked when she heard the news. She said, "What did you say? Grandma is critically ill? I'll be right there!"
After hanging up the phone, Valerie looked at Lincoln. "This isn't over today. I don't have time to argue with you now. Katherine, send me to the hospital!"
Katherine hurriedly drove her to the hospital.
By the time she arrived, Sophia was in critical condition in the intensive care unit. When he heard the news, Lincoln's mood was surging. If Sophia was gone, he would be in charge. At that time, he felt that he would no longer be afraid of Valerie.
Lincoln could not suppress the joy in his heart. He wanted to laugh out loud. However, seeing that there were people coming and going here, he could not help but pretend to be heartbroken.
At this moment, a doctor came out. "Who is Sophia's family?"
Lincoln hurried forward. "I am, doctor. How is she?"
Lincoln really hoped that the rescue would be ineffective and that Sophia would die immediately.
The doctor's expression was serious. "The patient's condition is not good. You have to be mentally prepared for the worst situation."
Hearing this, Valerie's legs suddenly went weak and she almost fell. Katherine quickly supported her.
Only then did Valerie recover. "Doctor, I beg you. No matter how much it costs, you have to save her. You have to save her!"
Lincoln pretended to be heartbroken and turned to look at Valerie. "Will you pay for the treatment? How much money do you have?"
Valerie was stunned. "What do you mean?"
"Siogua is about to die. Matthew has been missing in Qebriuland for more than a week. He's probably dead too. If you give up the assets of the Grant family, I'll kindly give you a fee once you leave the Grant family. How about that?"
This was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for Lincoln. Once Sophia died, on top of the fact that Matthew was gone, Lincoln felt that he would be in charge of the Grant family once he kicked Valerie out.
Valerie was shocked when she heard that. "Matthew won't die. You guys are hoping that something will happen to him. He will come back! As for you, Lincoln, your biological mother is in the midst of emergency treatment, but you still want to monopolize the Grant family's assets. Are you still human?"
Even the doctor found it unbelievable. Valerie made a prompt decision. "Doctor, please do your best to save her. No matter what the price is, I must make sure that Sophia is safe!"
The doctor looked at Lincoln with a meaningful look before turning around and entering. Lincoln sneered, "She has lived for so long. She has had her time. Why bother? Besides, the Grant family is in danger now. It's useless even if you hold onto it. Do you have the ability to revive Matthew?"
Valerie said in a deep voice, "I'll say it one last time. Matthew is not dead! He won't leave me and the child behind!"
Lincoln laughed maniacally. "Valerie,
are you still not willing to see the
truth? Who can survive a gunfight in Qebriuland? Unless he's a special forces soldier! Even if he's a
well-trained special forces soldier, he'll only die after he gets there. Matthew is surely dead this time. Just wait. His corpse will definitely be found later! Now I'm being kind by giving you a sum of money. Don't even think about fighting with me here. Otherwise, don't blame me for being rude!"
Lincoln looked down at Valerie condescendingly. He thought, 'This damn girl's mouth is really tough. If I don't use some extreme measures, I am afraid that I will not be able to take her down today!'
Lincoln raised his eyebrows and
looked at her. "Now that things have come to this you no longer have any help around you. If you don't want to drag the Anderson family and the Santos family down with you, you can keep trying! Don't forget, if Sophia dies, I'll definitely go to the Anderson family to demand an explanation! If you know what's good for you, listen to me
obediently. Otherwise, don't blame
me for being rude!"
He threatened Valerie with the Santos family and the Anderson family. However, Valerie was not scared. "How do you want to deal with me? I want to see what you're capable of!"
Lincoln snorted. "The hospital is filled with my people now. If you don't agree, you'll go to hell with Matthew! Aren't the two of you deeply in love?! Since that's the case, why don't you die with him? That way, we can bury you together!"
Katherine did not expect him to dare to say that. She was instantly flustered and exasperated. "You're simply outrageous!"
Lincoln did not think much of it. "So what? The Grant family is mine. Even if I am outrageous, what can you do to me? Get lost if you know what's good for you. Otherwise, don't blame me for being rude to you later!"
Valerie immediately clenched her fists tightly. Meanwhile, Fred smiled and said, "Did you hear that? Get lost! However, if you want to be with me, I can reluctantly accept you, but the bastard in your stomach has to be dealt with first."
Hearing his words, Katherine couldn't take it anymore. "Your family is really shameless!"
"It's none of your business!" Fred revealed a fierce look. "If I became the CEO of Noria Group, the first thing I would do would be to take down the Santos family. How dare you be so arrogant! You forced a slut into my house!"
Valerie pulled Katherine and looked at Lincoln indifferently. "You definitely won't succeed. As long as I'm here, Matthew will deal with you when he comes back!"
Upon hearing this, a few of them
immediately laughed out loud.
Lincoln clapped his hands, and in an
instant, more than ten bodyguards in black rushed out from all directions and surrounded them. "Even if you don't agree today, you have to
agree!
If you don't want to die, listen to me.
Otherwise, just wait!"
"Really?" Suddenly a voice came from behind them. "Listen to you? Are you sure?"
This voice made Valerie overjoyed. Meanwhile, Lincoln and Fred widened their eyes and looked at the person who came. They were dumbfounded. "Matthew, why are you still alive?"
