Chapter 919
Fiona's difficult childbirth, her serious illness later, Charles' leukemia, and Chicago nearly dying at Lilian's hands. These events were like alarm bells ringing in Janna's ears, making her reflect on her life. Janna suddenly had a thought.
Although her useless but handsome ex-husband was a waste of space, there might be some genetic inheritance for the two sons. But it was hard to say whether the retribution came from her ruthless actions over the years.
Even if this possibility was only one in a million, Janna also didn't want the consequences of her actions to fall on Fiona, Charles, and Chicago.
Otherwise, where else would Lucia have the fate to sue her granddaughter?
"Darling, strictly speaking, this dispute is between me and Atticus's family. You shouldn't get involved. Grandma will handle everything properly," Janna said lovingly.
Fiona responded, "I heard from Stuart that you haven't been sleeping well at night these days, and you've been coughing."
She continued, "After Thalassa is born, I will gradually return Solomon's things to Darwin, and then I will return to work at the Rhoads Group. You just hang in there."
"Okay." Janna's tone became even more gentle and loving. "Don't worry, I will definitely live a long life; I still want to see Charles and Chicago get married and have babies."
Fiona smiled and agreed. They chatted for a while longer until Stuart came to urge Janna to rest, and Fiona hung up the phone.
The weather forecast said there would be heavy rain the day after tomorrow.
The night became hot and stuffy, making people felt as if something was pressing on their hearts.
Early the next morning, news of the storm hitting Silvamara Bay reached the country.
During breakfast, the news reported the bloody incident in Silvamara Bay last night.
The local gang struggles had been intensifying for more than a month, and last night, after the heavy rain, Atticus was attacked and died of infection due to lack of timely treatment.
In the early hours of the morning, the new gang leader took over Atticus's stronghold.
The new gang leader completely took over the leadership position that Atticus and his son had held for forty years.
"This is Atticus's deserved retribution," Scarlet said, sipping her soy milk with a cold snort. "How many times have our Armie merchants been extorted when passing through his ports?"
"Not to mention Armie's merchants, Atticus and his son, received assistance from Ms. Janna to establish themselves in Silvamara Bay. In recent years, even when the Rhoads Group's merchant ships passed by, they dared to skim off some oil!" Matt said in a deep voice, "It's just that we don't know what the new leadership will be like once they take over."
Scarlet glanced at Fiona, who was listening quietly.
"Have your breakfast. If things improve, it's good for us; if they don't... our family's merchant ships have been avoiding that route for over a decade!" Scarlet was absolutely not someone who would be extorted.
She would rather spend more money to detour than give money to Atticus.
Atticus once sent her a bloody, headless turtle as a threat.
Scarlet was not one to be trifled with. She directly bought two large screens in Times Square and cursed Atticus.
She once pushed Atticus and his son to the forefront of the internet.
After that, Atticus and his son dared not provoke Scarlet.
And this time...
The internal strife came too suddenly.
As smart as Scarlet, she wouldn't fail to notice that the Rhoads family was behind it all.
Those who tried to take the gifts given by others for granted needed to be punished.
So Scarlet had no worries about her husband. She was confident that things would be better soon.
