Chapter 340 

“Carrie” Bill glared at her furiously, his eyes filled with the same disdain he had for her countless attempts to 

throw herself at him. 

Hearing her name, Carrie shuddered slightly. 

Her face turned pale, and she let out a cold laugh. “I haven’t heard that name in a long time. No matter if i change my name or identity, I’ll never be worthy of you, will 17” 

Bill’s eyes narrowed, dark and turbulent as the stormy 

sea. 

His presence was overpowering, his gaze intimidating. “You’ve overstepped your bounds. Don’t forget who allowed you to stay in the first place. You can’t just change your name and forget everything. Without her, you 

wouldn’t even exist!” 

Whether it was that sentence that struck a nerve or something else, Carrie suddenly exploded, “Stop mentioning her at every turn! I am me. She’s been dead for years. 

“Why can’t I live my life properly? I’ve done so much for you. Everyone knows I’m your woman, yet you’ve never acknowledged it. 

“Bill, you hypocritically enjoy the benefits I bring. Have you never realized how selfish you are?” 

Her face was a mix of resentment and frustration as she yelled. 

Bill scoffed coldly, “I’ve never denied your existence, only to show you respect, not because I had any expectations of you. The position of Mrs. Simpson can easily be filled by anyone better than you at any time. 

“Carrie, I’ve never stopped you from marrying someone else, but look at what you’ve done?” 

His tone was sharp and accusatory. 

Morris, standing by, trembled slightly and hurried forward to explain. “Mr. Simpson, it’s a misunderstanding. We just invited Ms. Lawrence here to talk. Mrs. Simpson, please let Ms. Lawrence go!” 

Carrie glared at him with disdain. “Idiot, what are you pretending for? Can’t you see they came prepared?

“The moment you put down your weapon, you’re dead. It’s better to fight it out!” 

Morris‘ face paled slightly. 

He took a step back “Mr. Simpson.” 

Bill’s gaze never even landed on Morris. 

His voice was heavy and hoarse, “A fight to the death?” 

His intimidating look was fixed on Carrie. “After all these years with me, you must have gained quite a bit of power, right? Do you think you have what it takes to contend with me with what you hold in your hands?” 

Carrie’s gaze was defiant and unyielding. Having torn off all pretenses, she had no intention of backing down. 

She felt all her devotion couldn’t win him back, but she refused to believe her efforts were for nothing. She had to gain something, be it power or the man himself. 

“Whether I can contend or not, we have to try. Morris, make the call, let them start early!” 

Carrie’s eyes burned with resolve as she urged Morris excitedly. 

She feared any more delays might change the situation. 

Morris hesitated for a few seconds but ultimately chose to side with Carrie. 

After all, he knew Bill well. To those who betrayed him, Bill had never been merciful. 

Morris picked up the phone. 

Carrie’s gaze was filled with triumph, laced with resentment and scorn. 

“You care so much for a child not of your own blood. You would rather he take away your power than let me have it. Bill, don’t regret it today. You’ve driven me to this point!” 

Bill’s fury peaked. “Carrie, release Ms. Lawrence, and I might spare your life.” 

“Ha! Spare my life? Bill, you should be more concerned about yourself.”

Her voice had barely faded when Morris, pale–faced, interjected. “I can’t get through on the phone!” 

Carrie’s expression darkened as she barked, “Then call someone else, we must act now!” 

Seizing the opportunity while Bill’s trusted people were around was perfect for a complete takedown. 

Otherwise, where would she find such a chance? 

The engagement was just an excuse for Genevieve. 

How could such a significant move be disclosed to an outsider? 

What if she wasn’t on the same side as herself? 

Carrie thought her plan was flawless, but Morris‘ reaction betrayed her inner panic. 

“Hurry up!” She shouted again. 

Morris‘ phone wouldn’t connect no matter what. 

Suddenly, the call went through. 

He breathed a sigh of relief, commanding sharply, “Do it now!” 

The phone crackled as if someone else had taken over. 

And indeed, someone had. 

They heard Lucas’s calm voice from the other end. “Morris, what’s the rush? Your men are too scared to answer your calls, making me do it. Whatever you want to say to them, you can tell me.” 

Morris turned deathly pale at the sound of Lucas’s voice, nearly collapsing. 

His legs were trembling and he looked at Bill, his expression changed a few times. 

Years of planning and buying loyalties with effort and money were all aimed at today’s betrayal. 

Even if he couldn’t replace Bill, he hoped to split his power, dealing him a severe blow.

But it all fell apart. 

Carrie, too, heard Lucas’s words, her confidence replaced by uncertainty. 

The gun in her trembling hand nearly slipped. 

Bill fixed his gaze on her. “Now, can you let her go?” 

Carrie was not someone inclined to mutual destruction. 

Having gained nothing, she wasn’t ready to die. 

As expected, she dropped the gun, collapsing to the floor. 

Genevieve took the chance to escape, her heart racing.

Carrie, with tearful eyes, looked at Bill, crying. “I’ve cared for you for over twenty years, without recognition or reward, I-” 

She was cut off by Robbin’s sharp cry from the doorway, “Dad, watch out.” 

Suddenly, she lunged forward, pushing Genevieve aside to shield Bill. 

A gunshot rang out, and Robbin collapsed to the floor, shot in the back. 

Bill’s face turned livid with rage, supporting Robbin with one hand and reaching for the gun with the other. 

But then, two silenced shots followed. 

Morris, holding the gun, shook uncontrollably, his face pale. 

Carrie stared at Morris in disbelief. 

She couldn’t believe it was Morris who shot at her. Her last resort was to kill Bill, hoping to gain the upper hand. 

But she never dreamed it would be Morris who turned the gun on her. 

Didn’t he claim to love her genuinely, unwilling to see her suffer in the Simpson family?

Chapter 340 

Carrie’s chest wound bled profusely, her defiant gaze gradually fading to despair. 

Morris knelt down, weeping as he looked at Bill. “Mr. Simpson, I was wrong. I shouldn’t have been bewitched by this woman. It was all her scheme, her seduction. I killed her, I’m trying to make amends, please,”
