Chapter 267

Kim gasped.
“I didn’t kill Mr. Kingston. What else do you want me to say? Please, Shane! Let go of my family! I’m begging you!”
Sean wore a stoic expression and pushed Kim’s head back into the pool.
Water splashed onto Sean’s arm as Kim struggled. Brayden watched and walked toward Sean, then passed him a cigarette.
“Compared to this, I prefer using a golf club. Each blow is guaranteed to be bloody.”
“I don’t like blood,” Sean said while still holding Kim’s head underwater.
He took the cigarette from Brayden and held it between his fingers without lighting it. He lifted Kim and threw him on the floor when he stopped struggling again.
Kim gasped for air after coughing out a mouthful of water while curled up. He tried to kneel but fell back onto the slippery floor due to exhaustion.
“I-I know I’m not coming out of this alive, Shane.”
Kim slowly crawled toward Sean once he caught his breath. He grabbed Sean’s leg with shaking hands and looked up at him.
“Please believe me, Shane. I didn’t kill Mr. Kingston. Please let go of my family.
“Don’t you remember? You’ve eaten with my wife before. And you carried Marina in your arms when she was young. Didn’t you always think of her as your sister?”
Kim was smart. He figured that since he knew Sean’s real name was Shane, Sean wouldn’t allow him to live to tell the truth.
After all, Sean was the head of a highly recognized international company. If his true identity were revealed as the son of Spencer Kingston, who once helped the police authority dismantle international criminal syndicates, enemies would come for him. The criminal syndicate yearned for revenge so much so that only photos of police who died and didn’t have any close relatives were allowed to be published.
For someone as highly recognizable as the head of Lawson Global, Sean was an easy target for the criminal syndicate to enact their revenge on.
Kim remembered Sean was a soft-hearted person. All he needed to do was try to convince Sean and confique denying that he had killed Spencer Otherwise, his family would perish with him.
“Bring his family in,” Sean instructed.
Kim was petrified.
He shouted in terror, “No, Shane, please! They don’t know anything!”
With one hand in his pocket, Sean put the cigarette in his mouth and lit it with a metal lighter.
“I gave you a chance, but you didn’t appreciate it.”
“Does it matter if he tells the truth? If we think about who the biggest profiter from your family’s death is, well find out the truth ourselves, Brayden said while leaning against the staircase.
As Kim saw Brayden’s lackey head upstairs, he panicked and cried, “I’ll say it! I’ll say it! Please don’t do anything to my family!”
Kim admitted, “It was Dexter Kingston! Dexter kidnapped Marina and threatened me. I had no choice but to comply, Shane. I didn’t want to kill Mr. and Mrs. Kingston, but I had no choice.
“Mr. and Mrs, Kingston helped me when I was in need. I never wanted to kill them. But that bastard Dexter had kidnapped Marina! Oh, I know the one behind it was Wayne Pennington! Dexter worked together with Wayne to frame your parents!”
Dexter Kingston was the illegitimate child of Shane’s grandfather, Matthew.
Brayden clicked his tongue before saying, “You should’ve said this earlier.”
“Please, Shane. Let go of my family! It was my fault! I’m the one you should punish,” Kim begged Sean while looking up at him.
“If you want revenge, then kill me! My family knows nothing about this!”
