King s Awakening

Chapter 474: Chapter 474: Compromise!
 

Madam Mitchell stared frostily at the daughter-in-law who dared to defy her in such monstrous defiance, her face growing colder and colder.

“Fendy Taylor, are you trying to stage a coup?!” Madam Mitchell spat out coldly, her words sharp and not allowing Fendy any chance to get out of it.

Upon hearing this, Fendy retorted, “Wasn’t it you guys who pushed me first?”

“Have you thought this through? You can’t take back words that you’ve spoken or undo what you’ve done!” Madam Mitchell threatened menacingly.

At this point, the Mitchell family elders chimed in, “Fendy Taylor, even if we part ways, do you think you’ll be better off without us? Don’t forget that you are still in our Mitchell house! Can you even leave this place?!”

“Absolutely, just a mere outsider and you dare threaten us? You must either be extraordinarily brave or merely sick of living!”

“You no longer have the support of the Taylor family, what can you possibly do against us alone? Even if you expose our secrets, we can handle it!”

The Mitchell elders, one by one, directed their threats towards her, their words filled with intimidation.

Nevertheless, in the face of their threats, Fendy remained indifferent and calmly said, “Oh? Is that right? What if I tell you that I have evidence of your wrongdoing in my hands, and this evidence might land on the desk of the Northern Territory’s command centre at any moment?”

“Ridiculous!”

“You wouldn’t dare!”

“Preposterous!”

Immediately after she finished speaking, the Mitchell elders became furious, angrily jumping and stomping their feet as if they wanted to tear Fendy apart.

“Go on, keep scolding. The more venomous your words, the happier I am. So, aren’t you trying to keep me locked up in the Mitchell house? Or put me under house arrest? Come on then!” Fendy challenged fearlessly.

“You!”

The Mitchell elders were left speechless, choked by anger at what Fendy had said.

Seeing this, Madam Mitchell’s expression darkened further.

She never liked the feeling of being manipulated. In the past, she tolerated Fendy on account of Wood Taylor.

But to her surprise, even with Wood’s downfall, she was now being manipulated by Fendy.

This feeling made her wish she could devour Fendy alive.

After reflecting, Madam Mitchell took a deep breath and stared at Fendy, uttering word by word, “If you want us to spare you, fine, but listen well!

From now on, you must behave yourself and stay out of family and company matters. Hand over all your shares in full! Also, give us all the information you have!

Otherwise, if something happens to us, you will be the first one to face consequences. Consider whether the people around you can withstand our Mitchell family!”

Hearing this, Fendy’s expression softened slightly.

She knew clearly, although she does hold some dirt on the Mitchell family.

These pieces of information were not lethal; the truly devastating ones were with her brother, Wood Taylor.

Now, Wood had fallen, and the secrets he held had disappeared.

At this point, she could only use the little information she held to stall the Mitchell family.

Just now, her threat had been effective, but she couldn’t push them too hard. Otherwise, if they become truly desperate, she would be in a dire situation too.

She needed to stay calm and wait for her son, Benjamin Mitchell, to return.

As long as her son came back, all difficulties could be tackled.

The Mitchell family, the elders, and their threats will mean nothing to her by then.

Not only will she control the entire Mitchell family, but she will also stand on the top of the food chain in Capital City, making everyone who had once looked down upon her, kneel beneath her feet!

Thinking of this, Fendy looked at the Mitchell family and said, “Fine, I have no objections, but I have a few conditions.

First, I won’t hand over all your dirty secrets, I need them for my protection. I don’t trust you with all of them.

Second, the treatment I currently enjoy can’t be reduced in the slightest. Every month, the Mitchell family will give me ten million, and not a cent less!

Third, you can’t limit my freedom or those of my people!

These are my terms, if you disagree, we can simply part ways!”

Ten million a month?

They also can’t restrict your freedom?

“You really do have a lion’s appetite!” Madam Mitchell said unhappily. However, Fendy appeared confident and fearless, unshaken by her comments.

Seeing this, Madam Mitchell immediately discussed it with the few elders present.

After some debating, the Mitchell family decided to agree to Fendy’s conditions.

Upon getting what she wanted, Fendy left without a greeting or farewell.

Clearly, since they were on bad terms, there was no need to save face for anyone else.

Shortly after Fendy left, the elders crowded around Madam Mitchell, gritting their teeth and saying, “This is too much! Fendy Taylor has become absolutely lawless! If we let this poisonous woman stay in our family, she will be a major threat!”

“That’s right, we need to get rid of this poisonous woman swiftly for our peace of mind, otherwise, if Benjamin returns and sides with her, we’ll be in big trouble!”

“Absolutely right. Benjamin will return from the Eight Sect soon. If this woman has his support, considering her character, none of us will have it easy!”

The elders discussed hastily. As they reached a consensus, their faces were clouded with apprehension.

Clearly, the presence of Benjamin Mitchell had introduced uncertainty into their plan to deal with Fendy.

“We must take care of this poisonous woman before Benjamin returns!” Elder Madame Mitchell resolved and then ordered someone to keep a close watch on Fendy’s every move, seeking to find her allies in the shortest possible time.

They guessed that Fendy had other allies outside.

As long as they could get rid of Fendy’s allies, she would become powerless, and it would be much easier to deal with her.

“Contact Fendy’s confidants secretly and try to buy them off. If they do not comply, kidnap their families. We’ll see if they’ll comply then!” Elder Madame Mitchell stated firmly.

The elders nodded and expressed their support, immediately starting their individual assignments.

After everyone was gone, Elder Madame Mitchell took out her phone and sent a message to Mateo Mitchell: “Second Master, there has been a catch in the matter you asked to deal with. Please return to the Mitchell house urgently and take control!”
