Chapter 864 Sinister Smile

"What is going on?" Qin Yuanfeng asked, still clueless about everything. He had never seen Lily act like this. "What is happening?"

"Download all videos that you have of this place in the last twenty four hours." Lily ordered. "Can you do that in the next thirty minutes?"

"Yes." He nodded as he started getting to work. Qin Yuanfeng decided to just ask questions later and do whatever it is that Lily wanted from him right now. "I already started downloading everything."

"Alright." Lily nodded. "Tell me if someone is coming our way." Lily added.

"Hmmm."

Meanwhile, Zhou Jingren didn’t need to ask Lily about what was going on in her mind right now. He already made some calls to prepare that exit plan that he and Qin Yuanfeng originally planned before they even arrived in this place.

"I think I have something." Qin Yuanfeng said as he looked at the office of the Duke. "Here... Mikaela is holding a knife."

"Is this happening right now?" Lily frowned.

"Hmmm."

"Then... record everything. Something is going to happen soon." Lily uttered. There was no guarantee that something would indeed happen. However, she could feel that Mr. Neeson was trying to warn her about something. Lily furrowed her brows as she watched the Duke and Mikaela argue with one another. Since the video also included their voices, Lily could clearly hear what they were saying.

"Show me my husband." Mikaela said as her crazed eyes glared at her father. "Show me that you didn’t kill him." She screamed. "Or I will kill myself in front of you!" Mikaela added. "Did you hear that? I will stab myself in front of you!" Her hands trembled as she put the knife on her neck.

"Mikaela... calm down. This is a misunderstanding. What happened the other day was..."

"What misunderstanding? You let Lily manipulate you into believing that he would actually poison himself and his own wife just to get everything that he wanted! Do you really think my husband is capable of doing that?" Her once warm voice had turned shrill, large veins could be seen on her neck as she continued to shout at her father. "How dare you accuse my husband of trying to kill me?"

Seeing her daughter’s state, the Duke calmly shook his head. Mikaela could no longer be reasoned with. Or at least that’s what the rage in her eyes was telling him.

"You let him go now!" she demanded. "Let my husband go!"

"Mikaela... please listen to me... this is just..."

"Stop it! I am not going to listen to any of your explanations! Let him go or I will kill..." Slowly, her trembling hands move towards her stomach. "Your grandson!"

"You—"

"I am three months pregnant!" Mikaela said. "You cannot let my son be born without a father. Now... let my husband go!"

The Duke stared at her for a few seconds before he shook his head. "He is the mastermind of hurting your family and yet here you are demanding that I let him go. Do you really think that would happen?"

Despair immediately glinted in Mikaela’s eyes. "Then... Then it is better that I should just..."

’What about your kids?" the Duke sighed. "Don’t you love them?"

Hearing his words, tears started to stream down her cheeks. "He is my life." She said in a small voice. "He is my ... life." She repeated her words. "He... He is my everything."

"So just because you love him so much... you would sacrifice yourself? And leave your young children without a mother or a father. Let them live the rest of their lives as orphans?" The Duke nodded. "I understand." He pursed his lips and closed his eyes for a few seconds. When he opened his eyes again, his gaze had turned clear. He stared at the disbelief in her daughter’s eyes.

"You... You would choose them over me?"

"The them that you are talking about were the people who grew up with you. Me, your mother and Leandro were all poisoned. Does that matter to you?"

Mikaela shook her head. "No... No that is not true. Pierre would never do that! Pierre wanted to get close to you and Leandro! He wanted peace and unity! He wanted— We had plans for the future of Luxembourg! There is no way that he would hurt me and everyone else. If you wanted to accuse someone of poisoning you... then accuse Lily! She was the one who wanted to ruin our family! Can’t you see? She wanted you to kill every one of us so she could have the throne!"Seeing her father turn his head away from her, Mikaela immediately fumed. "Listen to me father! Don’t let that woman poison your mind! You should let my husband—"

"The poisoning started before we even met Lily." The Duke interrupted her words. He looked at her daughter once again as he sighed. "It started right after you got married. But for us not to suspect anything. You and him... received a small amount of lead so you would have kids. It would be less—"

"Stop it!" Mikaela said. "I won’t let you slander my husband like that!"

"If you refuse to listen... then how will you know the truth?" The Duke clicked his tongue. He had already expected things to turn out this way. However, he didn’t expect Mikaela to be this muddle headed. "There is no use talking to someone who has already made up their mind." The Duke sighed. "Please leave and take care of your children. I will call you once—"

"No!" Mikaela’s eyes were already swollen as she had been crying since he knew about it just this morning. "I am not letting you slander him anymore. I will find out the truth myself and... and...."

"Give me the knife." The Duke held his palm towards her. "You are not allowed to bring a weapon inside the palace."

For a few seconds, Mikaela lowered her hands, the tears in her eyes made her unable to see her father’s reaction. However, she already knew that the latter was highly disappointed in her actions. Her leg started shaking, yet, she still forced herself to stand up. She held the knife tighter as her father walked towards her. Mikaela didn’t know what was going on inside her head, she felt that her brain had long stopped working.

The only thing that she could think of was her husband. She stopped her hands from trembling as she held the knife in front of her father. Then a sinister smile crept up on her lips. "Father... there is no need for you to become the Grand Duke anymore." She whispered before she pushed the knife towards her father’s chest.
