364: Chapter 364

Chapter 364

Penny and the five big men wanted to save their Master, but Dahlia glared at them and yelled, "Stay where you are, or this old man will die!"1

The five big men quickly stayed on their spots, knowing their Master's safety was the most important. 

But Penny didn't listen. She tried to reach for Marlon, but Dahlia quickly slashed the air in front of Penny's face and scratched Penny's cheeks.

"AH!" Penny fell back instantly. She grabbed her cheek and stared at Dahlia in shock. Dahlia chuckled when she saw the blood on her knife. 

"Oh no, your biggest asset has been scratched. I bet this old crook won't love you anymore, don't you think, Penny?"

Penny's breath stifled. She checked her palm, and her body trembled when she saw the blood in her hand. 

She looked at the mirror next to her and saw the fresh wound on her. 

Penny's face paled instantly, to the point that she thought she'd pass out. 

Dahlia chuckled when she saw Penny's reaction, and the latter glared at her, "YOU BITCH! YOU RUINED MY FACE!"

"Who told you to play hero just now?" Dahlia pointed the tip of the knife on Marlon's nape again. She smiled at the five big men in the room, "Don't you see? I'm not joking at all. One step, and Marlon Grant will be a corpse."

Marlon tried to pull himself away from his crazy wife, but Dahlia had a surprisingly powerful grip on the back of his head. He could barely breathe, let alone struggle.

The leader of the men tried to reason with Dahlia, "Mrs. Grant, please drop the knife before we have to do something unpleasant to you."

"Like what? Shooting me?" Dahlia scoffed. "I can see you're trying to reach the gun on your back. Remember, the moment I see any gun pointed at me, this man will die."

The men in black decided to stop before the inevitable happened. They began to reason again, "You're going to jail if you kill him, Mrs. Grant."

"But I'm already in jail. Do you think I'm staying in a five-star hotel right now?"

"Madam, you will destroy the Grant family if you kill Master Marlon Grant."

"Oh, good, I've always want to see Marlon's estate turned to dust," Dahlia chuckled maliciously, seemingly taking joy in the possibility. 

The men in black looked at each other after realizing they had no way to reason with Dahlia.

Just like what Master Grant said, winning an argument against her was impossible. 

"Then, what do you want us to do, Madam?" The leader asked. "We will do anything as long as you set him free."

Dahlia shrugged, "You can turn around and leave my room and shut the door now. I will set him free after I have a talk with him."

The men in black wanted to ask Marlon's permission at first, but seeing that he could barely breathe, they decided to leave the room and closed the door, just like Dahlia instructed. 

Penny was still holding her bleeding cheek. She took a step back when Dahlia shifted her attention to her and smiled, "Why are you still in here? Do you want me to carve your face?"

Penny shook her head immediately. She glanced at her man and said, "I will leave, but please don't hurt him."

"Because you'll be back on the street if I kill him, right?" Dahlia scoffed. "Don't worry. I have no intention of killing anyone, at least for now. Maybe I will consider stabbing this old crook to death if you don't leave in five… four…"

"I—I'm leaving!"

Penny rushed out of the room and shut the door, leaving Dahlia and Marlon alone.

"Well, you're at my mercy now, Marlon Grant," Dahlia grabbed Marlon's white hair and pulled him up.

Marlon sucked all the air he could get as he had been suffocating in the blanket for a while. His face was red, and he looked like a fish out of the water. 

Dahlia kept the knife at his throat and smiled, "Do you feel fear now, husband?"

Marlon swallowed his saliva while staring at Dahlia. 

He knew Dahlia wasn't a damsel in distress, but he never expected her to be this vicious. 

"You've turned insane, Dahlia."

"Just like what you want me to be," Dahlia replied. "Listen, Marlon, I will not play games with you and Sarah. That bitch tried to poison me before, and I won't let Henry marry a monster like her."

"This is our only way to have an official noble title! Don't you want that glory? You will be honored by everyone in our circle as the mother of a Duke!"

"Screw that title, you old bastard! You killed our son just for that meaningless title! Do you not know what kind of sin you've committed?!" Dahlia was trying her best to refrain from slicing Marlon's throat right now.

She had all the power to kill this bastard and then kill herself. So Henry and Kate's suffering will be over. 

But at the same time, she had never stained her hand with blood and didn't want to stoop so low to be on the same level as Marlon, Penny, or Sarah. 

Dahlia's hand trembled while holding the knife. Whenever she revisited her son's death, her heart would burn with fury and vengefulness. 

But she knew that James was such a kind-hearted boy. He wouldn't agree if Dahlia killed his father despite his sin. 

"You killed our boy, spiking his drink and tampering his car. You killed him just because that bitch Sarah influenced you," Dahlia muttered. 

"I did everything for us, for our family."

"It's for your own greed. Do you take me as an idiot?"

"Then my greed is what's the best for us. I am the patriarch of the family. I made the decision because James dared to say something ridiculous such as marrying that bitch Katherine!"

"YOU OLD BASTARD!" Dahlia raised the knife. She was ready to stab Marlon's neck but stopped at the last second and pushed him until her scum husband fell on his back.
