A Husband For Killer Mom

271 Ch. 271 Song Lei’s Puppet

While Anxia was trying to comfort and calm Elliot, Richard’s small headquarters had an unexpected visitor. Luckily he still wore his black attire and mask, so the person didn’t recognize him as Richard Calvin.

“How did you find us?”

“We also have spies in Loraine Shu’s mansion. I came here to ally with Cerberus.”

“Richard listened to all the plans the man was discussing and felt that an alliance between Cerberus and that person would be far better than him working alone with Anxia. But… he couldn’t trust this person completely―not after this guy injured his wife a few months ago. “How can I trust you?”

“I am the same as you. Song Lei holds my weakness, and I want to get her out of there.”

“Song Lei? I thought the one in control of the island was Loraine Shu.”

The man snorted sarcastically and answered. “That woman is just a puppet and belongs to Song Lei. Master Shu wants Song Lei’s head.”

A loud slapping sounded in Loraine’s room. Loraine Shu glared at Song Lei in disbelief as the man slapped her hard. This man had never beaten or hit her for as long as he could remember. “You… why did you hit me?”

“I just heard you’ve whipped Mei Yin to death. I told you to lure her out, not whip her.”

“Then what should I do? Let her step on my pride? She fought me and ridiculed me by protecting Jamie from my punishment. If I don’t punish her, she won’t fear me anymore.”

“You!” Song Lei raised one of his hands once more, preparing to hit the woman, but as Loraine Shu closed her eyes for fear of receiving another blow, Song Lei slapped her hand away violently. “You have to lock her up until her wounds heal and make sure she got the best treatment you’ve got. Do you get me?” Song Lei’s harsh order made Loraine Shu feel irritated.

Why did his lover suddenly scold her because of small matters? All this time, Song Lei never got angry if she punished or taught someone a lesson. Loraine Shu held her burned cheeks while slicing in pain.

Damn it! Song Lei didn’t hold his force when he hit her. Loraine didn’t stop cursing Song Lei silently without speaking it out loud.

Little did she know, if Song Lei didn’t hold back, perhaps her jawbone would have shifted from its place. Just when Song Lei knew he was about to lose control, he left the room before killing Loraine Shu himself.

Song Lei had worked hard to get to his current position and managed to convince Deke Shu that Mei Yin would not be able to become his successor. But that stubborn older man instead sent Mei Yin here to learn the ins and outs of the Di Sha organization in Etros, and every day the girl became more steel-hearted.

Despite that, Song Lei always made Mei Yin’s image look bad in Deke Shu’s eyes, and the man no longer saw her as a worthy heir. After all, one girl could never lead hundreds of cold-hearted and bloodthirsty people.

Song Lei was pleased because Deke Shu would consider him after Mei Yin’s name was crossed out from the list of heirs.

But who would have thought… Zhao Anxia, ??the first granddaughter of Deke Shu, had a son. And now the man thoughtlessly put Elliot Shu’s name as the first heir. Song Lei had wanted to get rid of Mei Yin for a long time, but another unwanted heir emerged out of nowhere.

Deke Shu warned him not to touch Mei Yin with his hands or other hands. Alas, that stupid puppet woman wounded Mei Yin as if the girl was trash.

Well, Song Lei was satisfied when he heard that the girl barely managed to wake up from her stupor. But he was more worried about his neck when the news about Mei Yin getting hurt reached Deke Shu.

Even though the older man no longer considered Mei Yin as the successor, the girl was still Deke Shu’s granddaughter. Not to mention, Mei Yin’s father was the proud son of Deke Shu, making the older man value Mei Yin more than Anxia.

Deke Shu naturally loved Elliot more than Mei Yin or others when he heard he had a great-grandson. He gave Elliot all his wealth and power, and the boy would start to get into his position when he reached eighteen.

Unfortunately, old aging had taken its toll, given that Deke Shu was over ninety years old. He couldn’t move a muscle and had to hide not to show his weak appearance to his enemy.

His confidant Liam was the only one who knew Deke Shu’s condition. And until now, no one knew, not even Song Lei, that Deke Shu was already dying in his private room.

If Song Lei found out, he wouldn’t stay silent and find a way to change Deke Shu’s will and turn everything over to him.

Thus, Deke Shu had no idea that Song Lei secretly instills seeds of trauma and absolute fear into Elliot’s innocent mind. Song Lei did it on purpose so that when the child received all the inheritance from his great-grandfather, the boy would do whatever he said.

The power owner was Elliot, but the boy would be nothing more than a puppet controlled by Song Lei from behind. Elliot would become an exact match for the woman who stole Loraine Shu’s identity.

The woman who wore a face due to the face-off surgery and being Loraine Shu was nothing but a puppet in Song Lei’s eyes. When Song Lei no longer needed Loraine, that demonic man would get rid of her without her knowledge.

Alas, Loraine had been blind to the promises made by Song Lei, so she quickly forgave him. Eventually, her mood increased when she heard an audio voice from one of her men.

“Mama, I want to live here.”

“What? But you said―”

“I changed my mind. I can’t let grandma leave alone here.”

“But Elliot…”

“Please, mama. I want to be alone for now.”

“Eli…”

“Please,” a heartbreaking voice sounded, making Loraine Shu smile in satisfaction.

Finally… there was one less problem she was worried about.

Elliot would still stay in Etros.
