Chapter 479: A Letter For Him
Chapter 479: A Letter For Him
Mark halted as he frowned. Original from NôvelDrama.Org.
He looked at the black notebook on the floor that was half opened.
His eyes narrow trying to decipher something as they fixated on the notebook.
From his sight angle, the stationery was full of handwritten characters and he didn't need to wonder
who was the owner of the notebook because judging from the penmanship, Mark was sure that it was
Mr. Hendrick's.
Seeing the old butler's penmanship, Mark's hatred surged up as he thought back to the terrible scene
he witnessed when he arrived at the police station at that time.
The scene where his old butler hanged himself in front of him.
Too horrifying and he didn't believe that Mr. Hendrick could actually do that.
Mark would never believe that the old butler committed suicide.
Then a policeman handed him a letter from the old man.
At that time, Mark could not forget what was written in the letter.
He knew that it was the old man's writings telling him that everything was masterminded by Bill Sky.
He may be had threatened the poor old man and left with no choice but to end his life or it could also
be someone who killed him.
The last one could be possible too since policemen in their city could easily be manipulated by money.
With the surging anger in his heart, Mark clenched his fists so hard then he quickly got on his knees
and pick up the notebook.
He was more than in a hurry now with his anger reached to the highest peak of his system.
He felt he was going to blow with his blood stirring in his head.
Extremely enraged, Mark was moving faster thinking of the old man's terrible fate.
He needed to avenge him and this is the time he awaited.
The perfect time to finish Bill Sky.
Without wasting any second, he had no intention of reading Mr. Hendrick's writing.
He needed to kill his brother personally rather than have someone do it for him.
It was his long-time revenge and it needed to be finished tonight.
Somehow, when he was about to put the notebook back on the shelf, his eyes captured something.
'To my dearest young master,'
Seeing these words written by Mr. Hendrick, Mark suddenly jolted then he frowned deeply.
It seemed that the old butler had something for him before he passed away.
It was a letter for him.
Disbelief and confused, Mark looked at the notebook like wearing the biggest question mark on his
face.
Mark couldn't believe that the old man had written something for him in his notebook.
But why?
What was the letter all about?
It appeared to him that the letter was a mystery.
They had been together almost every day and he could just tell him all the matters he stated in the
letter but he didn't.
With his thoughts, Mark became so curious.
Also, he felt something outrageous about the letter.
There must be something that the old man could not tell him directly.
Though he was in a hurry, Mark couldn't just ignore it.
His obnoxious eyes were eyeing something.
The most important thing inside Mr. Hendrick's letter but then he was immediately taken aback.
The letter was long and he felt like he needed to read everything from the start to fully understand Mr.
Hendrick's intention and the real message that he wanted to give him.
With too much curiosity and eagerness to know what the letter was all about, Mark started reading the
letter.
To my dearest young master,
For the longest time we have been together, I ought to serve you with all my life.
I am old now and I am afraid that I am not going to be with you soon.
I never wanted to leave you alone with a strong anger in your heart.
I saw your struggles and I witnessed your cries. I wanted to take all those pains from you and erase
them from your system.
If only I could, I will never hesitate to do it just to see you free from all those burdens.
My dearest young master, I know you have full of hatred in your heart but I know too well that you are a
good person.
You are young and there was more to life than hatred.
Please never allow your anger to take over your life as this will be your greatest regret until the end.'
Reading half part of the letter, Mark felt a pinch in his heart at Mr. Hendrick's words for him.
The old man was really good at making him feel cared for and this made him miss the old man a lot.
Mark felt more intrigued and felt skeptical about something.
He knew the old man had something more important to say.
' I am convinced about your friendship with Greta. However, Greta is not in the same boat as you.
In my drawer, there is a
yellow envelope. This contains all the evidence I got enough for me to condemn her. I would not be
surprised if one day, Greta will kill me so I am writing this letter to show you and make your eyes open
to the real situation.
I know how important she is to you so I choose to keep my silence and just hoped that one day you can
see her true colors. I hoped that someday you will find in your heart to know the truth and know who
really cares and supports you. Young master, I never meddled in the family business as I was doing
just what I was ordered to do. I am just a servant but I would take this opportunity to tell you the truth. If
there was one person who cares for you a lot, that could be Mr. Bill Sky.'
It was the end of the letter.
Mark's expression was empty with the things he read but at the same time it was shouting like, 'What is
happening to the world?'
He could not believe what he just read.
He felt complex emotions.
Greta...
She was betraying him.
Loyalty and trust were the mere factors of their friendship but why Mr. Hendrick were against Greta and
the friendship?
What could he possibly do to her if she did really betray him?
Bill Sky...
Mr. Hendrick mentioned Bill Sky.
The person he hated the most but the old man claimed him to be the good guy.
Mark was so troubled.
Why the old man had to tell a lie?
Mark frowned deeper.
Who could believe with such lie?
But why?
What would the old man gain if he would tell something like this?
Money from Bill Sky?
Knowing Mr. Hendrick for a long time, dignity was the most important to him rather than money.
So, it was impossible what he was thinking right now.
There must be some more important reason why he wrote this letter.
He was so bothered about what was the intention of his old butler in writing this letter.
He could not accept and could not believe what he had said in the letter.
But Mr. Hendrick had no reason to stitch stories and he exactly knew that.
The clock ticked and every second counted, he felt more troubled for he knew Mr. Hendrick would not
manipulate the truth.
He was the kind of person that would rather hurt him with the truth than appease him with a lie.
He was in a profound mess right now.
Other than Bill, he wanted to end his suspicion of Greta.
He knew that there was something off with her lately but he was too busy with his own plan.
Obviously, the old butler didn't miss Greta's mischievous deeds.
Mr. Hendrick was a silent observer but he was a keen one and this Greta couldn't just escape his
watch.
It was safer to say that he wasn't tortured or manipulated in his own room rather than inside a cell.
This made sense to Mark.
Something was off and the letter was an eye-opener for him.
Maybe Mr. Kendrick was telling the truth because of all people who surrounded him, he was the most
kind and was very good to him. He was not going to lie to him.
Gritting his teeth, Mark quickly opened the drawer.
There he immediately saw the yellow envelope that Mr. Hendrick's mentioned.
He promptly flipped open the envelope and got the hard small thing inside.
It was a black USB.
Mark looked at his wristwatch.
He had to be quick as the senator had given him time like a deadline.
Mark ran to his living room and . played the video inside the USB.
In the video, Greta was seen talking on her phone inside the mansion.
"Copy senator. Consider it done. My loyalty is where money is. Hehehe" Greta was grinning wickedly
talking to the senator and obviously, she didn't notice that she was being recorded.
She even put her big index finger into the hole of her nose to get her boogers.
So Greta...
Seeing the video, Mark gritted his teeth harder.
It was purely a betrayal to him as Greta promised to stop talking to the senator and yet she was
accepting orders from him in exchange for a huge amount of money.
The next videos were horrifying.
Mark gritted his teeth hard again seeing Greta was murdering people.
He was not surprised that Greta could kill but what he didn't like was Mr. Hendrick risking his life
following her every killing.
The old man was determined to show him what was Greta's real color.
With every person she killed, she laughed triumphantly.
Blood splashed her face and she was too happy to lick it.
Her teeth were covered with blood while she was laughing like a beast drinking blood from a human.
Her eyes were the look of the devil.
She was swaying her long knife with blood on it the lick the blood on the sharp blade.
Mark was disgusted.
He never thought Greta was going to be like that.
He didn't like what Greta had become.
The money took over her sanity.
The videos were all about Greta's killing and her conversations with the senator.
She was captured collecting load sum of money she got from the senator.
A bulk of money in exchange for every target.
She worshipped money like her god.
Greta even kissed the pile before she put it in a camouflage duffel bag and put it under her bed.
Clever Greta!
One video shocked him.
Greta came out of his room and went directly to her room.
In the video, she let go of something from her mouth.
Seeing that something, Mark's eyes widened in disbelief.
Greta got the most important thing he cherished.
It's his mom's necklace.
It was gold with a huge green stone pendant embellished with diamonds around it.
His mother wanted him to keep it like the most valuable treasure in the family.
Mark put this in a vault but Greta had her way to steal it.
How could Greta do this to him?
He trusted her the most and that was the reason he was keeping her by his side.
He even gave her shelter and if it weren't for him, Greta would probably still be living in the street and
for sure belonged to those crazy gangsters in the street.
Once again his heart was broken.
Greta was untrustworthy.
He was enough of this.
Very pissed at the person who he thought was his loyal friend, Mark quickly got the remote and was
about to turn off the video but there was a more horrifying video appeared.
The last video that would blow up Mark's head.
In the video, Greta was killing a woman using her knife but then she accidentally looked in the direction
of the videographer.
It was Mr. Hendrick.
For a while, Greta was caught in the video looking so wicked looking at the videographer then she
smiled like she know how to get herself off the hook.
Mr. Hendrick ran and stop the video.
Then the hidden camera captured Greta confronting Mr. Hendrick full of threatening words.
"So... so... so..." Greta was wicked.
Mr. Hendrick was just quiet.
"I see you," Greta whispered with a sinister grin.
The old man didn't say a word.
"Look, old man, you know what happened to those people who witnessed a crime, right?" Greta was
full of confidence as she strode around Mr. Hendrick then she stopped behind him.
The old butler was unmoved.
Greta leaned forward and whispered at him.
"I will kill you and no one needs to know," Greta laughed wickedly as she strode away.
Mr. Hendrick was still unmoved.
He let Greta threaten him but he had no trace of fear like he was too old to be scared of something.
It seemed he was ready to die.
Now, Mark was blown up by what he knew.
"It wasn't Bill Sky...
It was... it was Greta!"
