Chapter 531 Shocking News
“Heh, trying to take a risky move like this and sneak the message out? That was doomed to fail from the start.”
The man sneered, then glanced at Esmond.
Esmond understood at once. He bent down respectfully and picked up the object that had been tightly clenched in the bloodcovered hand.
He held it carefully and handed it to the man.
The man quickly took it and opened it. His face darkened at once.
“Damn it. We were fooled. There’s nothing inside!”
After saying that, he threw the box hard onto the floor.
“Th-then what should we do now?” Esmond asked again, still very respectful.
The man said, “Hmph. Raymond is already dead. No one can trace this back to us anymore. I’ll have someone clean this place thoroughly. Not a single trace will be left behind.
“The dead can’t talk. And that thing being lost forever is far better than letting it fall into someone else’s hands.”
This way,
that thing was as good as sinking into the deep sea. No one would ever find it.
That was fine too. It saved them the trouble of searching everywhere for it.
If it had ended up in their hands, it might still have some value for research.
But making sure no one could find it was even better.
“But what if he secretly handed it to someone else?” Esmond was still a little worried.
The man said coldly, “Who could he have trusted it to? That thing isn’t something an ordinary person could understand. After all, it was developed by Hendrick and your dead brother.”
The man didn’t take it seriously at all.
Esmond said, “Raymond’s daughter, Amelia, is very talented. She’s also Walter’s student. What if he gave it to her?”
The man said coldly, “If he really gave it to Amelia, that would be even better. It would make it easier for us to get it back. Getting close to her would be much easier for me.”

He actually hoped that was the case and added, “If that thing is on Amelia, it’ll only bring her deadly trouble.
“Raymond loved his daughter too much in secret. There’s no way he would hand something like that to her.
“Let’s go back now, before someone passes by.”
After saying that, the man turned around and left without another word.
Esmond left as well, taking Regina with him.
As they walked, he warned her in a low voice, “You’d better keep this secret with your life. What happened today must remain a secret, or both of us will be finished.”
“Don’t worry. I understand that very well,” Regina replied.
At that moment, only Raymond was left lying in a pool of blood, barely breathing.
He already knew everything. Sadly, eventually, he still failed to complete the mission that person had entrusted to him.
He truly was someone who achieved nothing.
He had ruined his family, destroyed his relationship with his daughter, lost his own life, and still failed to complete the mission.
He was no longer the hero Amelia had admired, no longer the role model she had looked
up to.
He only hoped that Amelia would live a safe and smooth life and be happy forever. That would be enough.
“Amelia…”
In the last second before Raymond closed his eyes, he could barely whisper her name.
Finally, he was free.
He could close his eyes and dream for the rest of his life—the dream of being happy with his wife, his three sons, and his precious daughter.
Just like the old days, filled with joy.
Forever.
The next day, news of Raymond, the leader of the Nygard Group, passing away spread like

wildfire across the country.
There were all kinds of versions of the story. The news shocked people in the industry and surprised countless netizens.
After all, the Nygards had been in the public eye many times. The company often made headlines, and the family had a history of favoring adopted daughters over biological ones, which had caused plenty of scandals.
Maxwell and Gianna had once been well-known celebrities in the entertainment industry.
Amelia was even more famous, a public figure recognized by people of all ages.
