The Enigmatic Return (Nancy’s And Roxanne )

Chapter 1522 This Is A Declaration Of War

“Indeed, it was I who poisoned your parents with the wug. At that time, Mrs. Cox was already pregnant with you, so part of the poison entered your body through her. I thought you would be stillborn, but to my surprise, she risked her life to safely give birth to you. Even though you didn’t die, your body remained weak and sickly, always on the brink of death. As the poison from the wug continued to intensify, Mr. Elias and his wife soon passed away.”

Listening to Albert’s words, Avery’s hand clenched tightly into a fist. The veins on the back of his hand bulged, and the sound of his bones creaking could be heard.

“Who’s pulling your strings? Or are you the mastermind?”

Albert hastily replied, “No, I’m not the mastermind. I really am not! I was just following Matthew’s orders. He told me to do it! He assured me that as long as Mr. Elias and his wife were eliminated, he would support me to take over as the head of the Cox family. But somehow, the Cox family ended up electing you as the new head, and Matthew didn’t object. He just told me to be patient and wait a little longer…”

At this point, he became impassioned. Dragging his broken body, he painstakingly crawled towards Avery.

“I beg you, Mr. Cox. I truly am not the mastermind. I merely followed Matthew’s orders. He coerced and enticed me. If I did not obey him, he would have killed me. I had no choice but to do as he demanded. I truly didn’t do it on purpose. Please, spare my life…”

“Spare your life?”

A devious smile suddenly appeared on Avery’s face.

It was an expression revealed only when one reached the pinnacle of one’s fury.

“Because of you, my parents are dead and I’ve been poised. Now, you expect me to spare your life? Are you joking? Or did I hear wrong?”

Albert looked at Avery’s expression, his body suddenly shaking uncontrollably as he was terrified to the point of wetting himself.

He opened his mouth, wanting to defend himself further, but found himself unable to utter a word.

His throat felt as if it was being strangled, unable to make even the slightest sound.

At that moment, Avery no longer wanted to see Albert’s detestable face.

He glanced at Irwin and commanded, “Take him away and deal with him as you see fit.”

Irwin quickly acknowledged the order and did as he was told.
