Chapter 334
After finishing up at Emerson Corporation, Joshua made his way straight to the estate.
In the basement, Joshua stood several meters from Lillian.
"Joshua! Joshua, you finally came to see me!" Lillian cried out, her voice raw and desperate as she tried to run toward him. Her voice was hoarse and grating, almost terrifying in its intensity. But her hands and feet were bound to a nearby iron gate, leaving her with no dignity, like a pet tied up.
Joshua furrowed his brow, the air around him thick with tension. "Who gave you permission to call me that?"
Lillian paused, a bitter smile tugging at her lips. "Why can't I call you that? Would you rather I call you brother?" Her expression twisted with a hint of mockery. "I can call you brother, too; you're my favorite brother."
Joshua's frown deepened. "Do you even know what you're saying?"
"Of course, I do!" Lillian shouted, her voice cracking. "I like you! I love you, Joshua! Can't you feel how intensely I love you?"
"Are you wondering why I did all those things?" Lillian laughed through her tears. "Ha, it's all for you, Joshua! After all these years, haven't you realized how I feel?"
In the dim basement, the amber glow revealed the madness and obsession in Lillian's eyes, her long-hidden desires laid bare. After she spoke, silence descended, stifling and absolute.
Joshua, tall and imposing, stood over Lillian, his gaze icy and detached, exuding an aura of cold disdain. The faint scent of blood lingered in the air.
After a moment of silence, Joshua suddenly let out a laugh. "Love me?" His deep- set eyes were like an unfathomable abyss.
Lillian watched him, seeing the mocking curl of his lips, his expression cold and unfeeling. "Do you deserve it?"
Three words, each dripping with scorn. In an instant, all color drained from Lillian's face. She bit her lip hard, tears spilling from her eyes.
"Brother, Joshua... how can you be so cruel... Lillian sobbed, her voice full of accusation. Joshua stood there, his gaze indifferent and filled with a trace of impatience.
"Lillian, from this moment on, you have no relation to the Emerson family."
Lillian's eyes were vacant, her voice a whisper. "I never wanted to be your sister anyway."
Joshua nodded slightly. "Then it's time for you to apologize for what you've done."
"Thomas," Joshua said calmly, "Take her outside."
"Yes, Joshua."
Lillian asked, "Where are you taking me?" Joshua did not reply. He turned away, walking out with a slow, deliberate pace.
Outside, there was a vast open field. A helicopter was parked there. Thomas ordered his men to carry Lillian out and throw her onto the ground Then, a man used a thick rope to tie Lillian's hands, securing the other end to the helicopter's undercarriage.
Minutes later, the helicopter took off. Lillian was suspended beneath it, swaying in the air. The early spring wind was still chilly, growing harsher and colder as the helicopter ascended. The biting wind cut
