Chapter 1588 It Was Too Late
The Cole family.
"Mr. Brooklyn!" The old Lennox was beside himself with anxiety. He wondered what was going on.
Brooklyn had been coughing non-stop since morning. The cause was still unknown even after a
thorough examination. Several doctors were on pins and needles whereas the old Lennox had a face
as pale as wax.
Brooklyn spat out a mouthful of blood and only managed to catch his breath after a long while. Elina
stood on the side in trepidation. "What should we do?"
Brooklyn slowly raised his head and swept his eyes over the people around him. As the backbone of
this family, he had been working hard his entire life. Who would've thought that someone would plot
against him when he got old? Were these people so eager to watch him die?
Did they not know that if he died, all of them would come to no good end? He pondered on this.
The old Lennox wiped the blood off Brooklyn's mouth and poured him some water personally for
rinsing. After cleaning up, the old Lennox could not help but walk aside and lowered his head sadly.
Brooklyn said slowly, "Tell Flynt and Kieffer to come back. I want to see them."
Colston instantly replied, "I'll do it right away."
Brooklyn threw a glance at Colston's back when he left. To Brooklyn, Colston was quick-witted and
knew how to distinguish the priority of matters. With the addition of this person called Louisa, if the Cole
family fell into his hands in the future, even if it would not create an era as illustrious as his, it would
mark the start of another glorious age.
Nonetheless, Brooklyn couldn't forget his identity.
No matter how eminent the family would be under his management, it was not sufficient for him to take
over the Cole family.
In the end, Brooklyn still chose Kieffer as the successor. However, by the time Colston went to notify
him of Brooklyn's instruction, an accident had already happened to him.
It didn't take a long time before Colston came back, and there was a moderate change in his
expression.
Brooklyn couldn't wait any longer. When he saw Colston, he asked, "What's wrong?"
"Kieffer had an accident."
As soon as Colston finished speaking, Brooklyn blanched and began panting. The people around him
all lowered their heads slightly as they were aware that Brooklyn intended to anoint Kieffer as the
rightful heir.
But now he had an accident. Who was behind it?
Almost everyone felt that it was Colston.
At this time, who else could it be other than him?
Even if he was the current head of the family, he would be nothing if Kieffer had returned.
Brooklyn held the quilt under him. Indeed, he was regretful, but...
"Where is Flynt?"
Brooklyn suddenly spoke, and everybody's eyes landed on Colston, who then ruminated momentarily.
"Something has happened to him too, but he is all right. The call had gotten through. He is already on
the way back."
Brooklyn gazed at Colston blankly. "If it's you, admit now and I'll let you go. Tell me if it's you."
Colston stared at him. "It isn't me."
Brooklyn's eyes were very deep, but after a long time, he smirked. "Take this woman and get out of
here. Henceforth, you are no longer a member of the Cole family. We don't have an ungrateful traitor
like you. Get out of my sight right now."
Colston was dumbfounded for a bit. "I can't leave."
"Get lost!"
"I didn't do it. I always do everything openly. Without any evidence, how could you say that it's me?
Even if I need to leave, I have to find out who is the one framing me."
As a matter of fact, Colston knew very well who the mastermind was.
He just needed to investigate thoroughly and get evidence.
Notwithstanding his age, Brooklyn was not an idiot. He was well aware of who was right and who was
wrong.
It was just that he was too old to do anything, so...
What was more, he didn't like Colston either. It was a pity that Kieffer became an innocent victim in this
affair.
As an old man, he couldn't even protect his descendants, which in turn made them scheme against
each other relentlessly.
Brooklyn said, "Get lost."
Colston replied, "It turns out that you're indeed senile. It's fine by me if you want me to leave, but
Louisa is pregnant. How do you want us to survive if we leave? Flynt is such a devious scum to set me
up like this. He won't let us off after we leave. Do you want Louisa and me to die?"
Brooklyn narrowed his eyes and said nothing.
Colston answered "No wonder you're living a tough life in your old age. I've asked Louisa to examine
you. You've been poisoned. She has been studying your poison for a long time to detoxify you, but
you're treating us in this way. I've done my best for the Cole family. Since you want to let Flynt kill
us… Fine, we'll leave."
Colston had felt disinclined to stay in the Cole family any longer. Now that Brooklyn could do such a
thing to Louisa and him, what else couldn't he do?
Colston turned around and left with Louisa. He would no longer interfere with the matters of the Cole
family.
Besides, he had already made up his mind on where to go next.
After they left, Brooklyn inquired, "When will Flynt be back? Call and ask him."
The old Lennox quickly made the phone call. Flynt told him that he would be back soon, in an hour at
most.
Brooklyn's eyes stRhysed to Elina, who was standing by the side with a pale face.
"Listen up, all of you. Colston came from a lowly background. He isn't qualified to be the leader of this
family. The Cole family's leader can only be Flynt."
"If I'm no longer here, Flynt will take over the family."
Most members of the Cole family knew that Flynt was probably behind the murder of Kieffer and that
Colston was just a scapegoat.
However, Flynt had had his own supporters. If Brooklyn and he turned against each other, the Cole
family might be destroyed.
Everyone went out without saying anything.
All of them had their own thoughts. Flynt had not hurt them in the past, neither would he do so in the
future. As long as Flynt became the head of the family, they could be relieved.
In spite of Colston's benevolence, as Brooklyn said, he was a lowly person.
The head of the Cole family couldn't fall into the hands of a lowly person.
When everyone had gone out, Brooklyn called out to Elina. "Elina, stay here. Let's talk."
Elina shivered slightly, cursing Colston in her heart. It was all because of the words he spoke before he
left that Brooklyn suspected her.
That said, she was not fearful. Now that Flynt had won, no one could do anything to her. The next plan
was to get rid of Yousif's other women and children. She had lost her child, therefore she wouldn't let
them lead a good life.
She thought, "Have you guys not been gloating at my mishap? Well, keep it up."
Elina turned back and said, "Old Master, you will be fine."
Elina approached Brooklyn, who then glanced at Lennox. "Fetch me the rope."
"Yes, sir."
Confused, Elina looked at Brooklyn and asked, "What rope?"
Brooklyn answered, "Nothing. Sit down. I'm afraid I won't have much time to talk to you in the future."
Only then did Elina sit down. Although she was rather dubious, she had never mulled over the purpose
of Brooklyn asking her to stay. Property © NôvelDrama.Org.
It was not until Lennox came behind her and took out the rope that she sensed the incoming danger,
but it was too late!
