Simon was still drunk as a skunk when the old butler in his house woke him up.
"What's up?" Simon was pissed.
"Sir, it's the dark web..."
Simon immediately sobered up, grabbing the butler's hand, "Are Wayne and those two kids dead?"
The butler shook his head, "Gabriella also posted a hit on you on the dark web. The bounty is now up to two hundred and fifty million!"
"What?"
Simon was shocked to his core, breaking out into a cold sweat.
"The palace just called, and they want you to come back to the royal family to lay low. They will handle the dark web and the Silverman family!" The butler said as he handed Simon his clothes.
Simon quickly got dressed, not forgetting to pick up Olivia's ashes that had fallen to the floor as he was leaving.
It was just dawn. Although there were not many people on the streets, just seeing some shadows made Simon panic.
After getting in the car, he started worrying if someone had tampered with it. He immediately got out of the car, intending to hail a cab on the street.
In his panic, the urn in his hand fell to the ground, scattering ashes everywhere.
"Olivia!"
Simon yelled, throwing himself onto the ground to gather the ashes. But it had rained heavily the night before, and the ground was full of puddles. Olivia's ashes, already few in number, mixed with the rainwater and turned into mud.
Simon felt like he was going to lose it. The butler and his bodyguards didn't hesitate. They immediately shoved him into the car.
The most important thing right now was to get Simon to a safe place and have the royal family negotiate with the Silverman family and the Jared family.
Before long, Simon was sent back to the royal family. His mother slapped him as soon as she saw him.
"Your brother finally secured his position in the royal family. The queen likes him very much and he will be promoted to be an important minister next year. Are you deliberately messing things up with this stunt?"
Simon stood there, his eyes filled with anger and resentment, "Did I cause this? Wayne killed my wife and children, what's wrong with me wanting them to go down with her? You're the ones who are wrong. You're afraid of Wayne, and you're afraid of the Jared Group. Even when your own family is killed, you don't react. I was forced into a corner and that's why I put up the reward!"
"And then what? You scrambled to raise funds, offering a bounty of one hundred and fifty million. They, like they were playing a game, easily raised one hundred million!" The woman shouted angrily, "And also, Olivia was never your wife. The child in her belly could be anyone's but definitely not yours!"
Simon's face turned pale.
"Now get to your room, you're not allowed out until this matter is resolved!"
