Chapter 453 Keep Playing the Music
With the loud shouts from the men in black, the eight guys who had just carried the coffin in lifted the lid, signaling Heather to get in!
The sight made Heather's body tremble, almost causing her to fall to the ground. "Ryder, you're going too far!"
At her seventieth birthday party, he had already crossed the line by giving her a coffin as a gift!
And now, he wanted her to get into the coffin!
What does it mean for a living person to get into a coffin?
They were forcing her to die!
Ryder's expression stayed cold. "So you don't plan to get in?"
Heather said, "What kind of nonsense is this?"
Ryder walked up to Lawrence.
He instructed one of his men, "Give him a cut!"
With a flick of the guy's wrist, Lawrence's sleeve was cut open, revealing a two-inch gash.
Blood immediately started to flow!
"Blood!" Lawrence screamed in fear!
He quickly reached out to cover the wound!
Besides the pain, he was puzzled by why, after kneeling and slapping himself hard in apology, Ryder suddenly had him cut.
At this moment, Ryder's cold voice rang out, facing Heather. "I told you before, if you don't comply today, I'll destroy the Johnson family, and someone from your family will die here!"
Heather's face turned livid with anger. "Ryder, I won't comply!"
"Keep going!" Ryder spoke again.
The subordinate slashed again!
Another gash appeared on Lawrence's other arm, and it started bleeding!
The piercing scream echoed in the ears of everyone present!
The guests all swallowed nervously.
Although they had heard that Ryder was ruthless, most of them were seeing it for the first time!
He truly showed no mercy!
As for the rest of the Johnson family kneeling beside Lawrence, they were trembling violently, their faces pale!
The cowardly Abigail was even scared out of her wits.
Because this was the most unreasonable and terrifying they had ever seen Ryder since they had known him!
And all of this stemmed from the public humiliation Sarah had suffered!
Just as Ryder was about to order his men to cut Lawrence again, Lawrence turned his head, glaring at Heather and shouting, "Why are you still holding out? Hurry up and get in the coffin!"
When Heather heard this, her body trembled violently, her face full of disbelief. "What did you say?"
Lawrence's face twisted. "I said, why aren't you getting in the coffin? Is your dignity worth the lives of us innocent people?"
With Lawrence's words, the other Johnson family members, fearing Ryder's anger would turn on them, quickly followed suit.
"Exactly! You've lived this long and still don't know how to adapt to the situation!"
"It's just getting in a coffin once! You'll need it sooner or later, so why be so dramatic? Don't waste everyone's time!"
"Grandma! Didn't you always say to be aware of the times? Now get in there!"
The Johnson family's statements caused an uproar among the guests!
Half an hour ago, the Johnson family had shown a picture of a happy, united family, but in the blink of an eye, it had turned into this!
Of course, they knew in their hearts, if they were in the same situation, they might not do any better than those.
At this moment, the most complex emotions belonged to Heather!
She supported herself on a half-fallen table, trembling as she took two steps forward!
Her cloudy eyes looked at the angry, disdainful, and dissatisfied eyes of the rest of the Johnson family!
The grief and resentment in her chest were overwhelming!
She had ruled the Johnson family for so many years, and when had any of these descendants not been fearful and respectful of her?
But today, at her seventieth birthday banquet, Ryder had destroyed it all!
"Heather, get in the coffin!" The men in black shouted again!
This time, even the Johnson family members joined in.
What dignity, what bloodline, what family ties, all useless!
In the face of disaster, self-preservation was the only truth!
The guests, realizing the Johnson family was doomed, raised their hands and shouted:
"Heather, get in the coffin!"
This time, the last bit of Heather's spirit collapsed!
She couldn't go against the anger of the crowd!
Especially since her own descendants were among them!
Heather let out a bitter laugh. "I lost. Isn't that enough?"
She took staggering steps, slowly walking down from the hall!
With her cane broken and her spirit failing, she stumbled on the steps and rolled down heavily, even losing one of her shoes!
It had rained heavily before, and the yard was wet and muddy!
The uneven ground had turned much of the soil into mud!
So the dress Heather had spent sixty thousand dollars on for her birthday was now covered in mud, making her look like a mud person!
Even so, no one present stepped forward to help her, they didn't dare to interfere.
They just watched her struggle to get up, limping towards the black coffin!
All of this was seen by Ryder!
He remained unmoved!
Someone as cunning and vicious as Heather didn't deserve sympathy!
Because she had made Sarah kneel at the door in humiliation!
Ryder had to repay it tenfold, a hundredfold!
After several minutes, Heather finally reached the coffin!
She supported herself on the edge of the coffin, gasping for breath!
George shouted coldly, "Stop dawdling, get in quickly!"
Heather gritted her teeth, lifting her leg to climb in!
At the same time, Ryder glanced at the trembling band in the corner, who had been hired by Andy to celebrate!
Since Ryder had stormed in, they had stopped in fear!
Ryder gestured to them, his tone cold, "What are you waiting for? Keep playing the music!"
