Three Treasures: Spoiled Wife Goes Wild-Chapter 1784: Absurdity

As these words were spoken, everyone present, except for Charlotte Thompson standing by Justin Battleson’s side, turned their astonished gaze onto Leon Battleson.

Even Oliver Battleson did the same.

"What did you say?"

Leon Battleson furrowed his brow suddenly, "Stop spouting nonsense. I am Oliver Battleson’s son, a member of the Battleson Family! I have nothing to do with this disgusting thing!"

Henry Carter, who had been silent on the side, finally spoke quietly at this moment:

"Leon Battleson, I am indeed your biological father."

His voice was somewhat hoarse, and the end was trembling, unsure whether it was due to the current scene or the truth of what he was saying.

"Back then, it was your mother who came to me, asking me to help her conceive a child, and then she gave me a large amount of money. You are my biological..."

"Ridiculous."

Leon Battleson’s voice cut through Henry Carter’s words icily. He squinted his eyes slightly, like a snake flicking its tongue, its gaze gliding over the faces of everyone present.

Leon Battleson stepped forward to approach Henry Carter, tilting his head, a curve at his mouth revealing a set of ruthless white teeth.

"I am the second young master of the Battleson Family, the true heir, what do I have to do with a gambler like you? Besides...those who defy my orders deserve to die."

The next second, Leon Battleson drew a knife from somewhere and stabbed it straight into Henry Carter’s abdomen.

This act startled the onlookers, and Henry Carter’s pupils contracted as he watched Leon in front of him, finally lowering his gaze slowly to see the profuse blood flowing out.

"Foolish idiot."

Leon Battleson pushed the knife a little further in, then shoved Henry Carter toward Justin Battleson, while quickly reaching out to grab Charlotte Thompson.

As Leon made his move, Justin had already reacted, but Henry Carter’s interference delayed Justin, his outstretched hand getting slashed by Leon’s knife.

By the time he looked up again, Charlotte was already in Leon’s grasp.

"I haven’t lost."

Leon Battleson held the knife to Charlotte’s neck, speaking with a grin, "Originally, all of this was owed to me by the Battleson Family, and wanting it all back is only right."

As he spoke, Leon pressed his thumb against Charlotte’s side, exactly onto her artery.

"No matter how calm your expression is, your heartbeat has betrayed you."

Leon applied slight pressure, his fingernail digging into Charlotte’s skin. She stiffened, frowning, not daring to move at all.

Leon Battleson was already completely mad.

The cold blade was tightly pressed against Charlotte’s throat; just a little more force and her life would end.

As Leon said, Charlotte’s heart was racing rapidly now, but she still spoke with calm determination.

"Leon Battleson, surrender and maybe all this can be put behind us."

"Put behind?"

Leon laughed coldly, then hunched over, resting his chin on Charlotte’s shoulder. She tilted her head slightly, and hot breath sprayed over her ear.

Almost seeming to cling to something, Leon gently nuzzled against the side of Charlotte’s neck, wispy hair brushing by, sending shivers through her arms.

"How can you say that?"
