Chapter 2765
Inside the room, Thomas could not help frowning as the stench of antiseptic struck him.
He strode over to Senior Howard’s bed, sat down in the chair, and swept his cold glance across his father’s pale
face. “I can’t believe you’re still alive.”
Senior Howard never thought this would be the first thing his son said to him after accidentally shooting him. He
immediately flew into a rage. “You good–for nothing son! You wanted to kill me after all, didn’t you?!”
Thomas scoffed. “I never wanted to kill you, but your wife and son wanted me dead.”
Thankfully, Tina’s plan had not worked, and he did not end up sleeping with Denise at all. Otherwise, Yannie would
surely be upset and refuse to be with him any longer.
If that happened, not only would Riley lose a mother, but he would lose the only woman he ever loved…
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtTo him, this was even worse than death.
Senior Howard was so furious to hear this that he broke into fits of cough. “You bastard!”
Thomas rolled his eyes as he watched his father’s face turn red from his coughing fit. Finally, he reached out to pat
Senior Howard’s back reluctantly. “Why are you so upset when it’s not even the first time we disagreed on
something?”
Senior Howard shot him a cold look out of the corner of his life but did not reply.
Finally, after he stopped coughing, Thomas drew his hand back and said, “When Joshua called me, he told me that
you’re fine and didn’t suffer much injuries, so why are you coughing so hard now? Did the doctors make a
mistake?”
Senior Howard rolled his eyes at him. “I wouldn’t be coughing like this if you hadn’t come to annoy me!”
With that, he closed his eyes and let out a sigh. “Your cousin and I had a long talk just now.
“He told me that the reason you had given all the evidence of your aunt’s death and your uncle’s involvement in
this to him was that…you wanted him to help you take back your inheritance.”
He opened his eyes to stare at Thomas. “If that was truly what you wanted, you
don’t have to do anything more.
“I’ll hand Howard Group over to you right this instant.”
Thomas‘ entire body froze when he heard this. He met his father’s gaze with disbelief. “You…”
How could this be?
Senior Howard and Tina were the ones who had killed his mother, and everything Senior Howard had done was to
take what rightfully belonged to Eanne as his. How could such a selfish and greedy man voluntarily hand over his
inheritance?
Even if it were because Senior Howard was too old to continue running the business, he would still rather hand it

This was why Thomas had sought out Joshua’s help to take back his inheritance and avenge his mother’s death.
All of a sudden, Senior Howard claimed that he would hand over the company willingly.
“Are you surprised?” Senior Howard let out a bitter chuckle and lifted his head to stare wistfully at the wall as
though his thoughts had drifted somewhere far, far away. “If this had happened a few days ago, I would’ve been
just as surprised as you are, but now…I truly want to hand over Howard Group to you.”
Senior Howard closed his eyes and said, “I know that I owe your mother too much and if I had known earlier…”
He let out a sigh and opened his eyes to stare at Thomas. “If you had told me earlier that all you wanted was the
family inheritance, I would’ve obliged.”
Thomas furrowed his brow and suddenly felt as though there was a lump in his throat.
Finally, he let out an exhale and asked in a hoarse voice, “Did…something happen to you? What did Joshua say to
you?”
