Chapter 2198
---- Chapter 2198 Seeing that Margaret was not responding and only knew how to groan, a flash of delight
passed through Jim's eyes. Every cloud has a silver lining, and Margaret's death would not be entirely bad news.
At least from now on, the Langley family would be his, and he would have the final say. "Since you're not saying
anything, Mom, I'll just approve it. I'll head over to the Knowles family myself," Jim said with a crooked grin. The
truth was, Margaret had not agreed to anything.
However, Jim made the decision on his own because, looking at her pale, broken body, he did not think she
would last much longer. Whether it was her order or his did not matter. He would claim authority soon enough.
Soon, Jim hurried through the night, carrying expensive gifts, and ran to the Knowles estate. The idea had come
from Benjamin, that wretched nephew of his. Still, the boy had shown a sliver of cunning, so Jim brought him
along. "When we meet the Knowles family people, watch my expressions and act accordingly," Jim instructed
Benjamin.
Benjamin nodded repeatedly, "Uncle Jim, don't worry. I'll ---- definitely follow your lead! I just hope we can

Elijah can drop 100 grand ona single night without blinking." At the Knowles estate, word quickly spread that
members of the Langley family had shown up at the gate with expensive gifts, begging for an audience. It was
late, and the family could have turned them away, but appearances mattered. Hence, they decided to at least

Naturally, Harold would not bother to cout at this hour. His status was far too high for that, and Jim was
hardly important enough to warrant it. Instead, the Knowles family's butler, Scott Grant, stepped forward to deal
with Jim and Benjamin. He said flatly, "Gentlemen, if you have something to say, say it quickly. Mr. Knowles
Senior and Mr. Knowles have already retired for the night." Jim shot Benjamin a sharp look, signaling him to
speak Benjamin immediately stepped forward with a forced smile. "Mr Grant, thank you for seeing us. Here's the
situation...
Today, Grandma was assaulted in her own hby a stranger. "It's the greatest insult the Langley family has
ever suffered! She's on her deathbed now, and she kept saying how the ---- Langleys and the Knowles family go
way back. We just hope the Knowles family will stand up for her, for old time's sake!" He tried to look furious,
puffing himself up as if defending his family's honor. Jim followed his lead, putting on a face of grief and
indignation, trying to appear pitiful. "Oh? Is that so?" Scott's brow furrowed at the story. "Well, Mr. Knowles Senior
indeed owes Mrs.
Langley Senior a debt of gratitude from long ago. Tellthen, who dared to humiliate the Langley family? Leave
the rest to us. By tomorrow morning, that man will be dead." Jim and Benjamin nearly jumped with joy, hardly
believing it could be so easy. "His nis Andrew Lloyd," Jim said quickly. "That bastard was unbelievably
arrogant, even bragging that he was from Gabo Creek. We don't just want him dead... We also want that woman
with him, Natasha Vostokoff, to ccrawling back to the Langley family and beg for forgiveness.
