Lucius' words surprised Alfie, and he took a few steps back, nearly falling to the ground. This pest could read his mind and know his plan outright!
Alfie watched in wonder and despair, pointing at Lucius Voss, his fingers quivering furiously and unable to form a sentence.
"You... you..."
This jerk saw right through my intentions and thoughts?!
"You go lost! Get out of my house quickly! "I will never hand over the family assets to a jerk like you!" Alfie yelled while pointing at the door.
"Hah, it's too late." Lucius did not move at all. Instead, he smiled even more brightly. "I didn't want to take action so soon at first, but you forced me into this."
Alfie had a strong sense of danger after hearing his comments. "What do you mean?"
Lucius smiled and clapped his hands. A stranger with nicely combed hair entered the study, wearing a warrior suit and gold-rimmed glasses. He exhibit an aura of destruction.
"Who are you?" Who allowed you in? "Get out this instant!" Alfie barked.
The situation had already escalated beyond Alfie's control, and he felt a deep sense of crisis.
The visitor ignored Alfie and approached Lucius, crouched low and bowed. He then pulled a document from his briefcase and respectfully placed it on the coffee table before him.
"Mr. Voss Senior, this is the will I created per your directions. I have already confirmed that you have signed everything. The stranger told Alfie to sign the last page with his thumbprint.
Alfie's eyes widened with surprise. He immediately became enraged. "Bastard! When did I ever make a will? When did I ever sign it? You're just playing tricks! This will not belong to me. "It has no legal effect!"
"I am going to go look for someone. This document is forged. This is not real. It does not count! I will kick you out of the family, you bastard!" Alfie started to panic. Suddenly, he felt hopeless.
His unfaithful son had already produced a forged will with this man whom he never met in his lifetime. What a bastard! Who knows what he'll do next? Alfie was determined to seek security immediately and have the other family members kick him out!
There was a loud thump on the back of Alfie's head right now.
Alfie slowly turned around to discover that Lucius had battered his skull with an ashtray. His lips trembled, but he could not say a single word. Alfie then began crumbling forward.
Lucius approached Alfie's side, crouched down, and murmured, "You may now leave and reconnect with your lovely son and grandson. Do not worry. I will politely accept the entire Voss family. Everything will be under my control now. Goodbye, Dad." Lucius smiled mirthlessly.
Alfie's throat moved a few times, but he couldn't speak anything in the end. His pupils dilated as blood gushed from the back of his skull, leaving a large pool of blood on the ground.
"Oh no! Someone, come here! Dad accidentally slipped and fell! Hurry and call an ambulance! We need to get him to the hospital quick!" Lucius began yelling anxiously in the study.
The Vosses had descended into pandemonium once more. Dark times once more.
The Vosses soon held their third funeral after having already held two.
Within a few days, three important members of the family perished, one after the other.
The news shook the whole Emerald Coast County community.
Countless people were privately discussing the Voss family's successive deaths over the last few days, and myriad rumors circulated the county.
However, Lucius had already succeeded in becoming the new head of the Voss family during the funeral ceremony.
As Alfie Voss's only living son and the holder of his will before his death, combined with his public pronouncements about designating Lucius Voss the successor, Lucius Voss was able to take over as the family's leader smoothly and successfully. No one expressed any uncertainty. The family members accepted their faith and trust in Lucius to handle family businesses. They believed that Alfie trained him well to be the family's successor.
The alterations in the Voss family created a massive outcry in the county.
Some people who the Vosses, such as Charlotte, had harmed were startled to learn the news. Charlotte scoffed. "Hah! This is karma! The Vosses committed too many terrible crimes, and heaven will not spare them either. All three have died! Such despicable family, indeed!"
Thaddeus carefully considered the news in the Reed main mansion after being taken aback by it. He then grinned happily and swiftly summoned his granddaughter, Luisa Thorn.
"Luisa, have you heard about what happened to the Vosses?" Alfie Voss inquired.
Luisa nodded. "Yes, they're simply out of luck! But that has nothing to do with us, correct?
"Haha, silly child." Thaddeus rubbed his hands cheerfully. "Think about it." The Vosses came specifically to apologize to Mr. Mason, but they erroneously apologized to rascal Ethan Knight instead. Then, one by one, their family members passed away. Something is not right. Haven't you found out the main point?"
Luisa was bewildered for a time before coming to a stunning revelation. "I understand, Grandpa! "They must have offended Mr. Mason!"
"Shh! Keep your voice low. Please keep it to yourself, and don't tell anyone, lest you cause Mr. Mason trouble. Understood?" Thaddeus spoke fiercely.
Luisa's eyes glistened as she covered her mouth and nodded repeatedly. "Yes! Do not worry, Grandpa! I will keep my lips zipped and not cause any problems for Aston!"
"Speaking of which, how are you and him doing? Are you confident? What is your relationship status to him?" Thaddeus asked.
Luisa became apprehensive as soon as this was spoken. She had been with Ferry for the past few days. Ferry was not only physically handsome but also a skilled sweet-talker. They had long since progressed to a home run. They shared several nights together already!
Luisa flushed and smugly replied, "Don't worry, Grandpa. We are making good progress. He vowed to negotiate our marriage with his elders when he returned to LA after some time."
"Hahahaha! Not bad! You are certainly worthy of being my grandchild. Impressive!" Thaddeus was thrilled and clapped his fists. "Luisa, you must cling on tightly to Ferry. Once married, you will be the most prestigious lady in a wealthy family, and the Reeds will rise to their former prominence. We will be your most dependable maiden home! Good job, Luisa!"

Meanwhile, Anastasia was still nervous and emotional after hearing about the Vosses' deaths! She is feeling something she doesn't want to feel.
