CHAPTER 5

His heart was in pain. More painful than being pricked by needles! His flesh and blood had been stabbed to death by himself! He couldn't accept this fact. But he had to do it.

Otherwise, the entire Ermington family would be destroyed. Elliott picked up the God of War seal, took the Dragon-slaying Sword, and walked out of the Ermington family villa slowly, with no waves in his heart.

He had experienced this scene so many times that he had already become accustomed to it. "Promise me, don't even think about revenge. Otherwise, the Ermington family will be wiped out!"

Erik stared at his two remaining sons with a serious expression and gave them a solemn warning. Evan and Emory nodded vigorously.

"They knew the seriousness of the situation. Even if they had the courage, they wouldn't dare to seek revenge on Elliott, because behind him stood a God of War!" After coming out, Elliott called Alma, but Aria answered the phone.

"Why are you calling my daughter's phone? Didn't I tell you not to call Alma's phone without my permission ?" "You killed my son without my consent. Now it's time that you pay the price." Elliott said coldly.

"Pay the price? Hahaha, I can do whatever I want with my daughter's child in her belly. Can you control me? Who do you think you are? If you dare to touch me, I'll have Eddy kill you. Don't blame me for not warning you. With just a flick of Eddy's finger, he can crush you to death!" Aria sneered and hung up the phone.

The Ermington family was a big backing for her. How could she possibly care about Elliott, a bereaved dog?

Crush me? Alright, I'd like to see how you'll react when learning your "golden son-in-law" Eddy died at my hands! Elliott sneered. Soon, Elliott arrived at his mother-in-law's house.

His child couldn't die in vain. It was Aria who led the way for Alma to have an abortion. She was the culprit and had to take responsibility!

It was already after work hours, and Aria had bought a lot of groceries on her way back. She had planned to cook for Eddy, but he had already gone home, so she had to put some of the groceries in the fridge.

While handling a two-pound lobster, she accidentally stabbed her hand and blood started to flow. Aria immediately flew into a rage and grabbed the lobster, slamming it hard on the ground. "Snap!"

The lobster burst open. "You beast, jumping around like that useless guy!" Aria cursed and picked up the lobster, smiling smugly. "Now, let's see how you jump!" At that moment, someone knocked on the door.

Only Aria and Alma were at home. Her husband was at work, and her son was being held hostage, waiting to be ransomed. Aria went to open the door. "Tsk tsk tsk, you scumbag, you dare to come?" Aria felt annoyed and disgusted at the sight of Elliott.

How could a company as big as this, with assets worth billions, just disappear like that? What a waste. It was ridiculous that she had been so blind to think that Elliott was capable, and had allowed him to marry Alma.

She had thought that the Heritage family would prosper with his help, but in the end, it had been a disaster. Elliott's cold gaze swept past Aria and landed on Alma, who was sitting on the sofa lost in thought.

Alma couldn't meet Elliott's eyes and looked away, her face filled with complex emotions of guilt, embarrassment, and self-blame. "Why?" Elliott walked towards Alma. "The child is mine, Elliott, but he is also yours. How could you bear to kill your baby?"

Hearing Elliott's words, Alma couldn't hold back her tears anymore, and they fell like a spring. "I'm sorry, Elliott..." She didn't explain. She didn't defend herself. She just apologized.

However, her apology couldn't extinguish the raging anger in Elliott's heart. He was devastated by the loss of their child. Even though he was powerful, with unparalleled strength, and even if he was an iron man, his emotions were still fragile.

Even if Alma had been forced into a corner, if she had refused to go out with them, she could have saved their child. If she had been willing to fight, Aria would not have been able to control her! But their child was gone.

Just then, Aria pushed Elliott hard from behind and roared at him. "I warn you, Alma is now Eddy's fiancee. Stay away from her. Her body is precious and she is the future lady of the Ermington family. Every strand of her hair is more valuable than you!"

"Her hair is more valuable than me?" Elliott sneered at this statement. "Of course. Do you know how much money the Ermington family has? Nearly ten billion! Do you know how much assets Eddy will get in the future? At least three hundred million!

Do you know how capable Eddy is? He's a PhD from a famous foreign university! His future is limitless. Conservatively speaking, he will become a billionaire or even a trillionaire in the future. And you, can you even produce a thousand dollars? I'm telling you, my son-in-law Eddy's wife Alma's hair is more valuable than yours. Any problem with that?" Aria said disdainfully.

Elliott was shocked. He couldn't believe that such twisted logic could be spoken so confidently by his cheap mother-in-law. "I haven't asked you yet, what are you doing here? If you have nothing to do, get out of here and stop bothering us!" Aria said.

"You forced my wife to abort my son. And I've told you. It's time for you to pay the price!" Elliott glared at her coldly. "Pay the price?" Aria laughed. "Are you trying to settle the score with me? Are you trying to kill me? Come on, let me see how you're going to make me pay the price. Come on, if you have the guts, hit me!" Aria held a pair of chopsticks and kept poking Elliott's chest.

Her arrogant attitude made Elliott want to slap her to death. "You coward, you don't dare to do anything, do you? I've seen through you a long time ago. You're a useless waste. If you dare to touch me, my good son-in-law Eddy can crush you like a bug, He can crush you even easier than he can crush an ant!" Elliott kept stepping back, but Aria kept pressing closer and closer.

Finally, Elliott had nowhere to go and leaned against the corner of the wall. But Aria continued to poke him hard with the chopsticks in her hand, right at his chest!

"Fine, since you're so eager to know, I'll tell you! My revenge won't be killing you, I'll destroy you mentally!" Elliott raised his hand and slapped Aria's face with a loud smack. Aria was stunned. Did Elliott just hit his mother-in-law?

"How dare you hit me?"

"You f*cking dare hit me?"

"This is outrageous!"

"You just wait, I'll call my future son-in-law Eddy and have him break your legs, so you'll be disabled for the rest of your life!" After being slapped, Aria was completely enraged. She picked up her phone and dialed Eddy's number.

"Eddy, that bastard hit me and he wants to take Alma away. Hurry up and come over, or Alma will be taken away. Remember to bring more people. I want to break his legs and make him disabled."

"Aria?"

"Yes, who are you...?"

"Eddy is dead. I'm his father, Erik." On the phone, a cold voice sounded like a thunderbolt, making Aria's whole body tremble. Eddy was dead? How was that possible?

He had just arranged for a private doctor to give Alma an abortion in the afternoon. How could he be dead? What kind of sick joke was this? Elliott could die, but Eddy couldn't. Eddy was her golden son-in-law!
