When Sienna saw the stiffness in her sons‘ expressions, she thought they were against her idea. She bit her lip awkwardly, hesitating as her eyes dropped. “I forgot… He’s still your father…”
“You all… don’t approve of this, do you?” Her voice fell soft and low. “Talking about killing someone… It’s wrong, isn’t it…”
“Who said that?” Winston was the first to speak, his voice sharp as ever. “If you really want him dead, I’ll be the one handing you the knife.”
Sienna blinked, caught off guard.
Carl lifted his lashes lazily, expression unreadable. “Then I’ll hand you the gun.”
Easton could not help but chuckle. He arched his brows slightly, his smile light but his eyes cold. “No need for either. I’ll do the job myself for you.”
Dominic shook his head, helpless and amused. “You guys are seriously already planning the murder?”
At that moment, Jean finally stepped out from the shadows, frowning deeply. Her voice cut into the conversation, clear and direct. “Are you sure killing him is the only way?”
Everyone in the room had already noticed her presence, but since she was one of their own, they had not bothered to hold back the conversation.
Still, her words gave them pause.
They all knew very well that Jean had the ability to foresee the future. Even though she never spoke of it aloud, circumstances had exposed her secret in bits and pieces. Enough for them to trust it.
So now, hearing her question… they could not help but tense.
Did she know something? Would killing Matheo bring unforeseen consequences? Is Jean warning us?
But in fact, Jean knew nothing.
The plot’s gone completely off the rails. This isn’t even the same story anymore. Who would’ve guessed Matheo would be the one marked for death now?!
Easton caught that errant thought of hers and could not stop himself from grinning. “So… does our little Jean have a better idea? Because honestly, killing that scumbag is the most direct solution. Especially since…”
His eyes darkened, a shadow flickering across them. “I only recently found out… Julia is his illegitimate daughter.”
The grudge between Easton and Julia was no secret. Their conflict had nearly turned into a public scandal.
If it had not been for the key piece of evidence he held at the time, he might have been completely ruined by that scheming girl.
Now, having unexpectedly uncovered another layer to Julia’s identity, it was as if old grudges and fresh hatred had collided all at once. Easton could hardly contain the murderous urge to deal with both father and daughter in one clean sweep.
The Ginger family had never been a place of warmth or familial affection.

And at the root of it all was Matheo.

He had bewitched Sienna, driving a wedge between her and her own flesh and blood, and in doing so, he had warped the personalities of the Ginger family children in ways both male and profound…
Of course, ever since Jean’s sudden transformation, things had gradually started to improve.
But no matter what, there was one unshakable truth that all the Ginger brothers shared.
It was that they despised Matheo. No, they hated him with a deep, gritted–teeth loathing that had festered over the years. And now, with him doing something so disgraceful, so shameless, so utterly faithless and despicable….
Their hatred had only grown more intense,
Killing him would not weigh on their conscience. In fact, it would be a relief.
Even if he was their father by blood.
Jean pressed her lips together, her gaze drifting from face to face. Worry flickered in her eyes.
“Yes, Matheo and Julia are both trash,” she said carefully, “but I’m scared that if you really do kill them, you’ll be the ones who suffer.”
Sure, the Ginger family is powerful enough to sweep things under the rug, but if this spirals out of control, my brothers could get dragged into serious trouble… even punished….
Sienna and her brothers all heard the concerns in Jean’s heart.
Of course, they had also considered the things Jean was worried about…
