Revenge With My Undercover Cop Hubby

Chapter 458 Your Choice Matters

Patrick glared at Gary, slamming the table in anger. "What nonsense are you spouting?!

He was furious whether out of humiliation, provocation, or perhaps even guilt.

He might not have killed Helena directly, but he surely played a role in her death.

"Heh... Still won't admit it, Patrick?" Gary clenched his teeth as he glared at Patrick, the tension between them clashing like swords at each other's throats.

They locked eyes, as if a single spark would ignite an explosion, pushing them to the breaking point

"Gary, we are family, yet you and the others keep siding against me! I'm the only one holding everything together. Without me, this family would've fallen apart long ago! Have you all forgotten what happened when the Wagner Group was schemed against and besieged? Have you forgotten how they set Dad up, almost lost the bet, and nearly bankrupted the family? Have you forgotten how Mom died?"

Patrick pounded the table again, questioning Gary word by word. "Would this family be where it is today without me? You all enjoy the benefits it brings, yet you turn-against me!"

Gary frowned, looking at Patrick, thinking he had completely lost it...

"There were countless right ways to change our situation, but you-of all choices- chose the most ruthless one!" Gary's voice trembled as he confronted Patrick.

"The right way? When Mom was pregnant and those people drove her to the brink of a breakdown, forcing her into a fatal hemorrhage, did you call the police? The right way... Did those people ever receive the punishment they deserved?" Patrick sneered.

The Wagners lacked a strong background and faced restrictions in the business world back then. The industry was filled with predators, and without strong backing, they became easy prey.

Those beasts harassed Patrick's pregnant mother until she suffered a fatal hemorrhage, losing both her life. and the child's.

His father was too preoccupied with work to care for the family.

So it was Patrick, just a high school student at the time, who struggled to raise his younger siblings.

At the time, the Wagners did call the police, but it was useless. The punishment the law imposed on those people was far too lenient in Patrick's eyes.

The Wagners, lacking a strong family legacy, found themselves on the verge of ruin.

That experience planted a seed in the rebellious teenage Patrick's heart.

He realized that only by becoming part of the elite-someone even these predators feared-could he truly change the Wagners' fate.

He needed power. Only with it could he stand tall.

So, from high school onward, Patrick began formulating his so-called "plan".

Years passed, and the once-weak high schooler, incapable of even lifting a finger in self-defense, had climbed step by step to the top of the food chain-a place where even the predators now feared him.

Reaching this position required sacrifices,

To Patrick, anything that could be used would be used whether it was family or anything else.

You've gone mad... Hatred and greed have consumed you completely" Gary took a step back, drained of strength.

He knew it was too late. Patrick would never turn back.

And at this point, there was no road left for him to back to.

"Because I am the eldest! I gave everything for this family! Because my love for Dad and Mom runs deeper than yours ever could!" Patrick

7. "Cered at Gary.

When their mother died, Gary had only been 18, and Helena was just 10. The one who had felt the deepest bond with her had been Patrick.

Though hatred was merely an excuse, it had undeniably taken deep root in his heart.

Gary said nothing more. He slowly stepped back until he stood beside Ken. "I don't care how far you want to spiral into madness, but don't touch Ken. That is my final line, and I will not tolerate anyone crossing it. Don't even think about testing me."noveldrama

With that, Gary turned away, grabbed Ken by the wrist, and led him out.

Ken remained silent until they entered the elevator. Then, he spoke in a calm but heavy voice, "If you keep damaging your relationship with him like this, he's going to lose it. Even though he's temporarily holding back because you're his brother and he hasn't touched me, once you push him to the edge, he'll come after you. You're not married, and Connor is adopted-there's no blood connection. If you die, he won't show any mercy to Connor. Your entire inheritance will go to him, your own brother..

Ken looked at Gary.

The shares of the Wagner Group now belonged to whoever held them, and that person was essentially carrying a ticking time bomb.

If Patrick truly found himself at a dead end, he wouldn't care about family ties. Anyone standing in his way would be dealt with.

And then, he'd justify it all by saying it was for the family.

"Then let him come after me." Gary's voice was hoarse, laden with sorrow.

It was truly tragic for brothers to come to this point.

"What really happened back then? Why did Helena ... why did she choose to take her life?" Ken asked quietly.

Helena had been such a strong, cheerful, and internally powerful woman. In that era, she had already been ahead of her time-awakened to modern thought, independent of family status, and unbound by traditional ideas ...

How could she choose to end her life after her husband's death, leaving behind her young son.

No one had expected Helena to commit suicide.

Chapter 458 Your Choice Matters

When the news of her death broke, everyone was shocked. Those who knew her couldn't believe it. The woman who had been so strong the one who had personally traveled abroad to bring back her husband's ashes, who hadn't shed a single tear in front of others couldn't possibly have chosen to take her life

The truth... only Helena and Patrick know." Gary clenched his fists. Perhaps one day, the truth would finally come to light.

Given the limited surveillance and investigative technology of that era, the case was ultimately ruled a suicide. It would be difficult to overturn the verdict. Unless the perpetrator came forward on their own.

"Have you really decided to give up your career and get tangled up with Patrick?" Ken looked at Gory.

"Yes." Gary met Ken's gaze and spoke in a low voice. "I'm giving you two choices. After you transfer all the shares to me, you can completely disconnect yourself from this mess. I'll arrange for someone to take you to a safe place-a quiet, secluded spot where you can live the life you want... and forget everything." Gary took a deep breath. "I'll make sure you're safe."

"Your second choice is to stay and help me ... If we're going to die, we die together. If we live, we live together. We'll never leave this vortex again in this lifetime... If we go down, we go down together.

The elevator doors opened and then closed again. The two of them stood there silently, staring at each other.

If Ken wanted to leave, Gary wouldn't stop him.

But if Ken chose to stay, Gary would never let him go.

If he wanted to die, they would die together.

If he wanted to live, they would live together.

And if they went down, they would go down together.

"Does my choice matter?" Ken asked softly.

"It does."
