Chapter 37 Caught
Caught P-3 "Is it done?" Grace asked aftera moment of silence. She cast a quick glance over, and relief filled her immediately. "Let's leave quickly!" Given that the heir has not yet been selected, Grace will undoubtedly succeed as Matriarch. Furthermore, Rick will not need to worry about anything if Grace succeeds her as the Matriarch since he will undoubtedly succeed her as the heir.
For the Mother and Son, however, things did not turn out as expected.
As they reached the entrance, the door was shoved open and two people came in. A young man and a woman.
"Aunty Grace" Sophia called, her voice
laced with bitterness. "And Rick it's so good to see you here. You didn't visit the Patriarch when he was sick, it's so nice to see you. Did you get into trouble with your company again? Nobody is going to save you." "Sophia! It's not... I... We didn't..." Grace let out a heavy breath, feeling as though a weight has just fallen on her.
Without uttering a word, Jeff just approached the elderly man and took the needles. Whispering to himself, he examined the elderly man, "You did not even remove them properly, what if you injure the man?" "How could you Aunty Grace?! How could you do this to Father? You knew that Ricky was hurting Father and that he was the one who switched the
miscep syrup for soy sauce, but you said nothing about it." Sophia shook I her head in embarrassment, finding it rather unbelievable.
"Don't blame my Mother!" Not regretting his actions, Rick yelled.
"Why wouldn't I try to take his life? He has ruled enough! Nothing can be done; it is my mother's turn now.
Mother will see to it that you are sent to the other provinces of Scavo, where I'shall be the heir apparent." Like someone who has lost their mind, he laughed hysterically.
Jeff finished examining the old man and walked to Sophia. "Aunty Sophia, the toxins are gone. It should take the Old Man two hours to wake up." "Jeff, I sincerely appreciate your assistance. Thank you."
I Rick and Grace's skin turned completely white and their bodies grew motionless. They looked at each other,” I not quite understanding what was going on.
They had just been deceived.
"You deceived me" Grace sounded bitter as she glared at Sophia and the young doctor.
The next instant, Rick took the needles out of Jeff's hand, awkwardly twisted his arm, and pressed the needle to his neck. "I will leave him alone if you let me go." Sophia's eyes widened in shock and fear, but Jeff stayed calm, acting as though Ricky was just acting crazy.
"Rick! Don't go too far!" "No. Alternately, I could just kill your
I dumb patriarch. I am not sure why he dislikes me, but it does not matter because I also despise him. Just let me go and I will..." Jeff snatched up the needle-wielding hand before Rick could say anything more and skillfully twisted it against his back. With a careless toss against the wall, he wrenched the needle from his grasp.

With a cry of pain, Grace rushed to her son's side. "Don't injure him! What did we do so wrong?! My son only wants what is best for himself, so I do not blame him." As soon as he concluded his remarks, the door opened and several individuals entered.
At the front were Jamie and Liam, with what appeared to be police officers
I standing behind them. I "Aunty Sophia, what's happening? We _ I brought the Cops as you've instructed" Jamie said and her eyes fell on Grace and Rick. "What happened?" "Aunty Grace and Rick tried to kill Father but Jeff helped out." Jeff deliberately misrepresented the time, fully aware that something was off. Not three hours, but just thirty minutes was the scheduled duration.
After thirty minutes, the poisons were removed, and a few minutes after that, Rick and Grace showed up to carry out their evil plans.
Sophia couldn't thank Jeff enough for his help. Had he not provided assistance, Old Master Scavo would
have passed away and Grace would have taken over as Matriarch since the heir had not been selected. —— "Please take good care of the Old Master," Jeff said after everything had been taken care of. "He could have a heart attack if he keeps eating meals high in sodium." "Iwill listen to you, thank you" Sophia answered.
While Jeff and Sophia were still conversing, Jamie got up to give Jeff a hug.
"Thank you, Jeff," She said, her voice laced with softness. "Thank you so much." Aunty Sophia and Liam could only stare silently.
In order to help Jeff unwind, Aunty
Sophia offered to take him in. Jeff, though, graciously refused. I "Someone is coming to get me." "Is there someone you know here?" Sophia questioned in a stunned tone.
"Well, maybe." Neither Jamie nor Liam appeared particularly shocked. Over the course of the month, Jeff has given them numerous surprises.
"IT owe you a favor, Jeff, and I will be sure to return it. Sophia told Jeff, "Do not forget to tell me if you need anything," after he declined to take money from her.
While they waited for the person who was supposed to pick Jeff up to arrive, Jamie and Liam escorted him to the
road.
In less than two minutes, a car pulled up, startling Jamie and Liam. 3 The sleek curves of the luxurious sports car glistened under the sun. The attention-grabbing, roaring engine is expertly and masterfully crafted.
When the car parked in front of him, even Jeff was astounded by what he saw. This must have been a deliberate action by Old Master Malfoy. He could only sigh bitterly in his heart.
For people like Jamie and Liam, this car is obviously nothing new, but it just does not make sense anymore.
Additionally, it appears that Jeff is making them insane with his various surprises.
"Err... Jeff! Is this car here to pick you
up?" Looking at Jeff silently, Liam questioned.
A young man got out of the car at that exact moment. He stepped in Jeff's direction and lowered his head.
"Hello, Young Master. I'm here at your service." It dawned on Liam at last that he had been mistaken all along.
