Chapter 1019 Things That Can’t Be Settled
Colton narrowed his eyes and looked at Adam coldly, sneering. "Even?" His tone raised a little as he spoke, but his
jet-black eyes remained emotionless as he enunciated, "She poisoned my son and caused my child to die inside my
wife. Where do we go from that?"
Of course, Adam knew Colton was not someone he could provoke, but to protect Sasha, he had no choice but to go
against him. "Mr. Gardner, Alvin has paid the price of killing your child with his life. As for your son, he was only
mildly poisoned and is now doing fine, while Sasha has been brutally beaten up and suffered severe injuries. What
more do you want from her?"
Faced with Adam's pressing words, Roger did not back down. Instead, he came forward and used his height to his

Glancing at Roger, Adam narrowed his faintly glinted eyes and snorted. "When has Lome become someone else's
henchman?"
Roger's fists clenched so hard that they cracked, but just as he was about to reason with Adam, Colton came and
stopped him. He gazed at Adam with a soft chuckle before saying, "Mr. Adam, there's no rule that says one must
repay a life with another. I'm not generous, so when someone dares to hurt my wife and children, I will not let them
off so easily!"
While listening to Colton's decisive statement, Roger muttered, "Finally, someone reasonable."
At that point, Adam knew things were about to get difficult. Regardless, he had already thought about this on his
trip back and knew that Colton would not let Sasha off the hook that easily. That was why he had everything
prepared before coming here.
As he narrowed his eyes, it brought out the wrinkles on his face. Having lived such a long life, how could I fail in
front of a brat?
He laughed and slowly approached Colton, saying, "Mr. Gardner, you youngsters surely are young and ignorant, so
you might not have considered something. I dared to return from abroad and appear before you, which means I'm
fully prepared." While raising his head, his originally hunched figure slowly straightened up. Such a small change
added a sense of strength to him.
When faced with Adam's threat, Colton was unfazed but gave him a cold stare while taunting, "Mr. Adam, why don't
you try and see if you can bring her away from here."
Clutching tightly on his walking stick, Adam had his hands balled into fists as he glared sharply at Colton. He did not
expect Colton to be such a tough nut to crack. His expression slowly became more solemn while looking at the
saddened Sasha on the side. "The guy's dead. He won't wake up no matter how hard you cry!"
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmHearing Adam's voice, Sasha finally had some kind of response. She slowly turned her head to look at him with her
tear-filled eyes. That was the first time she felt such heartbreak. She even thought she was dreaming because Alvin
died too abruptly. After composing herself, she looked at Adam and walked over.
Not intending to hide the truth, he confessed, "He's better off dead anyway. He wouldn't have lasted over six
months with his condition!"
When Sasha heard what Adam said about Alvin, she suddenly felt a wave of anger as she looked at him with mad
eyes. Then, she gritted her teeth and announced, "Even if he was destined to die, he could only die in my hands."
He chuckled softly and retorted, "And what are you doing now? Stop pretending like you feel sad for him. He's
dead, and that is a fact. There are still a lot of things you need to do."
Those words pulled her back to reality.
