After Divorce I Married a Tycoon-Chapter 203: She Must Die

Just thinking about the mess Scarlett Jewel had made, the shame she’d brought upon the Sinclair family...

A thick killing intent swirled in Felix Sinclair’s sinister, vicious gaze.

His fingertips traced the edge of the expensive rosewood desk, his knuckles nearly distorted from the force.

A bone-chilling cold spread from his eyes through his entire body, seeming to freeze the very air and making it hard to breathe.

"Does Scarlett Jewel think she can control the Sinclair family just because she’s got a baby in her belly?"

He scoffed, his voice and eyes seemingly laced with a potent poison.

"She’s nothing but a pathetic clown."

"It doesn’t matter whose child she’s carrying. As long as we get that inheritance, it’ll be the day she dies."

"What if the child is Gavin’s?" Rose Gable’s voice trembled slightly.

After all, while she was stingy, calculating, and extremely harsh, her hands had never been stained with blood.

The thought of what Felix Sinclair was planning to do next sent a chill down her spine.

Felix Sinclair said, "If she is truly carrying Gavin’s child, then we’ll keep the child and get rid of the mother."

Rose Gable quickly asked, "So Scarlett Jewel... she..." 𝑓𝑟𝑒𝘦𝓌𝑒𝑏𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝘭.𝒸𝘰𝑚

"Must die!" Felix Sinclair’s eyes were like blades tempered in ice.

"What use does the Sinclair family have for a woman who has tarnished our name and repeatedly brought us utter disgrace? To keep embarrassing us?"

"If she weren’t pregnant, she absolutely would not live through the night."

"Her only value to us now is in fighting for the Sinclair family’s assets."

"Once we’ve achieved our goal, she’ll have lost every last bit of her usefulness. Her death will come then."

"A useless chess piece is just an eyesore if you keep it around."

After hearing Felix Sinclair’s words, Cynthia Sinclair and Gavin Sinclair, who were standing to the side, lowered their heads. They breathed softly, not daring to speak.

Felix Sinclair’s gaze swept over to Gavin, his tone suddenly sharp. "So this is the ’good woman’ you had to have an affair with."

"Never mind that you’ve ruined your own reputation, she’s dragged the Sinclair family down with you, making us lose all face."

Gavin Sinclair said nothing. He knew he was in the wrong and didn’t want to argue.

He too was furious with Scarlett Jewel now; even looking at her felt irritating.

But sweet memories of their past together suddenly surfaced in his mind...

He found he couldn’t bear the thought of it.

’That’s a human life, after all.’

’Besides, it’s not like she’s committed some unforgivable crime.’

"She’s made a lot of mistakes, but her crimes don’t warrant death."

"Once the baby is born and we have the inheritance, we can just send her abroad and tell her never to come back. That should be enough."

Felix Sinclair shot him a cold glance and snorted.

"Do you really think she’s the type to behave herself?"

"You’ve known her for so many years. Don’t you understand her character yet?"

"Greedy, money-grubbing, vain..."

"If the child is a Sinclair, do you think she’ll pass up the opportunity to gain status through her son? That she’d renounce the title of the Sinclair family’s eldest young madam and obediently go abroad?"

Gavin Sinclair lowered his gaze in thought and said nothing.

Felix Sinclair continued, "And if the child isn’t a Sinclair, but we use the child to get a share of the inheritance, do you think she’ll obediently keep it a secret? Keep her mouth shut?"

"That woman will only use this to control us, to threaten us, and to demand more and more..."

"If we don’t meet her demands, she’ll threaten to expose the child’s true parentage..."

"What will you do then? Let her continue to control and threaten you? If the second branch of the family finds out about the child’s parentage, how will we handle it?"

"Only the dead don’t talk. They don’t make endless demands and threats..."

"You can’t be soft with people like her, or you’ll only be leaving trouble for yourself down the line."

After hearing what Felix Sinclair said, Gavin Sinclair fell silent again.

’Yes, his father was right.’

’Scarlett Jewel definitely wasn’t the type to behave herself.’

’Before, he had been deceived by the facade she put on, unable to see her true face.’

’Thinking about it carefully now, sorting through it all, he was shocked to realize that the woman was hypocritical and greedy from head to toe.’

’If she had something to hold over them, she wouldn’t just obediently follow their arrangements.’

’She would constantly extort money from them, using the child’s parentage as blackmail.’

’That’s right. Only the dead behave.’

With that thought, it all instantly became clear to Gavin Sinclair.

"Dad, I’ll follow all of your arrangements."

Felix Sinclair nodded and then said to Gavin Sinclair.

"Keep an eye on her every move these next few days. Don’t let her pull any tricks."

Gavin Sinclair replied, "I know."

"Remember, once you walk out this door, use your head about what you can and can’t say."

"Especially the two of you, mother and daughter. I want your mouths sealed shut."

"If that woman finds out about our plan, there’s no telling what kind of trouble she’ll stir up. Not only will it tip her off, but it will also create more problems. And if the second branch finds out, you know the consequences."

Rose Gable and Cynthia Sinclair nodded with grave seriousness.

"And you. For our son’s sake, I haven’t been completely ruthless, but if you don’t start behaving and cause another scandal..."

Before Felix Sinclair could finish, Rose Gable was already nodding her head repeatedly in fright.

"I know, I know. I won’t do it again."

She was now extremely thankful that Felix Sinclair hadn’t been completely ruthless with her.

It was probably because of their two children, and also probably because he was taking her maiden family into consideration.

In any case, now that she knew what a cruel-hearted man Felix Sinclair was, she didn’t dare to act out of line again.

’Male models, trainers...’

How could they possibly be more important than her own life?

The four family members discussed the matter concerning Scarlett Jewel for half an hour.

In the end, Felix Sinclair said to Gavin Sinclair.

"Spend some money to suppress the trending topics online. The exposure of this business with Scarlett Jewel is an embarrassment to our Sinclair family."

But Gavin Sinclair said, "As soon as I saw her business trending, I paid to have the topics taken down and the hype suppressed."

"But the strange thing is, it’s impossible to take down. The popularity isn’t dying down; it’s skyrocketing."

At these words, Felix Sinclair’s already grim expression darkened, his brows knitting tightly together.

Rose Gable also jumped in to question it. "How could it be impossible to take down? Did you not pay enough?"

"The money was more than enough," Gavin Sinclair said.

"I suspect someone is deliberately targeting our Sinclair family from behind the scenes."

"Last time there was an issue with the Sinclair family, the trending topics also couldn’t be removed. It ended up causing a city-wide storm, and everyone knew about it."

"Because of that, the Sinclair family was gossiped about and judged by everyone, completely losing face."

"Even though this time it’s Scarlett Jewel’s scandal that’s been exposed, her scandal still brings shame on our Sinclair family..."

Hearing this, Rose Gable also found it very strange.

"Who on earth keeps targeting our family? It couldn’t be the second branch, could it?"

Gavin Sinclair said, "The second branch is definitely a suspect, but they wouldn’t do something that’s like killing a thousand enemies at the cost of eight hundred of their own."

"In the eyes of outsiders, the Sinclair family is a single entity; they don’t distinguish between the first and second branches. If the Sinclair family loses face, the second branch will also be pointed at and ridiculed."

"Then who exactly is targeting our family? To be able to keep a topic trending even after we’ve paid to have it removed... this person must have money and power..."

"Could it be the Rowan family?" Cynthia Sinclair said.

"To get revenge for Claire Mercer, they could have deliberately exposed Scarlett Jewel’s scandal to slap our family in the face and get revenge for Claire."

Rose Gable said, "Claire Mercer is just the goddaughter of the Rowan family’s matriarch. Would they really go this far for her?"

"Besides, the Rowan family has always been low-key. They never get involved in these kinds of things. There’s no reason for them to meddle in other people’s business."

The four members of the Sinclair family thought it over in the room for a long time.

They listed the suspects, then eliminated them one by one.

They still weren’t sure who was targeting the Sinclair family from behind the scenes.
