Chapter 244 I'll Give You Whatever You Want
Beatrice and Kenny froze when they heard the noise, and a flicker of malice crossed Kenny's face.
Beatrice, scared out of her mind, grabbed a sheet and jumped out of bed.
"Babe, why are you back?"
James's hands shook, completely stunned. His mind went blank, and he couldn't process what he was seeing. Finally, his eyes rolled back, and he passed out.
He hit the floor with a thud.
Beatrice was already freaking out, her fingers trembling as she clung to Kenny. "What do we do? He knows about us now. When he wakes up, we're toast."
Kenny, calmly putting on his pants, grabbed his glasses from the nightstand and put them on.
"He can't wake up."
Beatrice stared at him, shocked. "What are you saying?"
"We can't let him live. Otherwise, all our plans go down the drain."
Beatrice collapsed to the floor. She wanted the Fair family's money and was into Kenny, but murder? That was a whole different ball game.
Kenny walked over to James and nudged him with his foot.
Before Beatrice married James, she had already been eyeing his hot assistant, Kenny. He was younger and more energetic than James, and he knew how to please her in bed.
James, on his second marriage and getting up there in age, was always busy with work and had a bad back. He just couldn't keep up.
Beatrice hadn't been with many guys. Besides a jerk from her past, there was only James, and he never really did it for her.
But Kenny? He knew how to make her happy, and she genuinely liked him.
As they spent more time together, they started an affair.
But she never thought Kenny would actually consider killing James.
Kenny bent down and started dragging James.
Beatrice, terrified, grabbed him.
"Kenny, this is murder. If anyone finds out, we're going to jail."
Kenny, usually so gentle in his forties, now had a dark look on his face.
"Beatrice, he knows about us. When he wakes up, we're done. I'll get fired, and you'll get divorced. Think about Alice and Nick. Do you want your kids to suffer? Alice's health isn't great either."
Beatrice hesitated, looking at James's face.
James, in his fifties, had gray hair from all the stress.
Yeah, if James woke up, they'd be out on the street, and the whole company would go to Selena.
"Beatrice, don't worry. You're still James's wife. If something happens to him, the company is yours, and no one can take that away."
His words got to Beatrice.
Kenny's eyes gleamed as he walked up to her, cupping her face and whispering sweetly, "And aren't you happy with me? I can satisfy you, and we'll have money. I'll take good care of Nick and Alice."
Beatrice, swayed by his words, let go of his arm.
Kenny stood up and dragged James to the staircase.
He planned to push him down.
James, already in the late stages of liver cancer and just having been shocked, wouldn't survive a fall like that.
Beatrice couldn't watch, turning away and shaking.
Kenny steeled himself and kicked James down the stairs.
James fell, hitting his head on something sharp, and blood started pooling.
Kenny waited ten minutes, making sure James was barely breathing, then grabbed Beatrice's phone.
"Beatrice, call 911 now. We need to get him to the hospital, or Selena will get suspicious."
Beatrice, hands shaking, took the phone.
Kenny hugged her tightly. "Get it together. You have to act like nothing happened, or it's all for nothing!"
Beatrice's face was pale, her lips trembling. "Okay, okay."
Kenny took a deep breath and went to the bedroom to get his coat.
"I need to go to avoid suspicion."
Beatrice immediately called 911 and had James sent to the hospital.
Kenny reminded her again not to slip up, as Selena wasn't easy to fool.
"Beatrice, once we get the company, I'll give you anything you want."
Beatrice's eyes hardened. For her kids, she had to stay strong!
James could only blame himself for coming home from the hospital today. He deserved it!
