“What, failed?” Henry couldn’t believe what he was hearing.
The a.s.sa.s.sin lowered his head and said, “The prince suddenly appeared in front of Her Highness Sophie. We did not succeed.”
Henry kicked him to the ground and said angrily, “What Prince? What Highness? I’m the successor of this country. Even if Big Brother doesn’t want to be king, it should be me.”
Because John and Annie hadn’t rushed over yet, Henry vented without any scruples and smashed everything he could.
He was really indignant. According to the order of succession, he should be the one to inherit the throne. Why should he give it to Sophie?
Sophie had already given up the royal allowance and left. Logically speaking, she should not be the one to inherit the throne, but her brother had given it to her as if he had lost his mind.
Furthermore, Sophie seemed to him to be a scheming person, ostensibly aloof from the world and away from the royal family to settle abroad.
However, she had long wanted the throne in private. Otherwise, how could she have obtained the support of the army in a short period of time? Moreover, she had the Jiang family backing her up, making them all a joke.
The hitman who was kicked got up and stood at the side. He was actually dissatisfied with this order.
In the hearts of everyone in Country F, the country was more important than anything else. Only a patriotic citizen was a true Country F citizen.
Since the crown prince had said that he would give the throne to Sophie, she was the legitimate heir. Everyone only needed to accept the queen.
Moreover, Sophie had done a lot of good for Country F. She was obviously a benevolent person like the old king and would be a good monarch.
But Henry had insisted on killing Sophie. The killer would never have done it if he didn’t have his family in his hands.
Therefore, after Gao Tian blocked the bullet, he did not fire a second shot. He considered himself as having completed the mission.
John and Annie rushed over when they heard the news. When they saw the room full of fragments, John said, “You swore that you would definitely be able to kill Sophie, but you only hit that Gao Tian. Moreover, the royal family has already announced that he’s out of danger, so you actually didn’t do anything.”
He subconsciously started to mock him. After all, this was how the two brothers had interacted for so many years.
Henry, on the other hand, could not take any more provocation. He rushed over and grabbed his collar. “If you have the ability, kill Sophie yourself. What’s the use of telling me here?”
Annie advised, “Stop talking. If we start fighting, it will only benefit others.”
“Don’t pretend to be understanding. Sophie is your daughter. You didn’t get any benefits from her becoming the queen. You’re also a piece of trash.” Henry was already a little crazy from the stimulation and attacked everyone indiscriminately.
It was William who pushed the door open and restrained his father. “Dad, what we have to think about now is how to kill Sophie. We can’t fight with our family.”
Under his son’s persuasion, Henry regained his composure. John rolled his eyes. “If there’s nothing else, you should go and see a doctor.”
Fortunately, they still had an enemy, so the three of them did not really fall out. They could finally sit down and discuss what to do next.
At this moment, Annie said, “Since none of you can do anything, let me do it.”
Those words frightened Henry and John. They were afraid that Annie wouldn’t be able to bear it, so they didn’t pull her along. They didn’t expect her to say it herself now.
“What do you have in mind?” John probed.
Annie’s gaze was fierce. “I’m her biological mother after all. As long as I beg pitifully, she’ll definitely meet me. Then, there’ll be a chance.”
Henry’s eyes widened. “You’re going to do it yourself?”
Annie looked at him. “Can’t I?”
This was not something that could be done, but the impact of Annie saying that she wanted to kill her child with her own hands was too great.
Henry and John were not good people. They had done a lot of murder and arson, but they had never thought of harming their own children.
“She’s your biological daughter.” John’s tone was trembling.
Anne’s gaze was steady. “So what? She took the throne without telling me and kicked me out of the palace. She wasn’t my daughter from that moment on.”
Henry mentally prepared himself. “Even if you’re really that cruel, if you kill Sophie with your own hands, the people will definitely not let you off.”
He wasn’t saying this for Annie’s sake. He was just saying the consequences so that she wouldn’t be impetuous and implicate him and John.
It was fine if Annie was arrested. The two of them still had to continue planning. They could not let her singlehandedly take everyone to prison.
