Wizard Earl

Although Jack Ferguson didn't specify what he was asking, Eugenia knew without a doubt what he meant. After a few seconds of silence, she didn't try to defend herself and simply said in a low voice, "A year!"

Upon hearing Eugenia's confession, a murderous glint flashed in Jack Ferguson's eyes. He continued wiping his revolver as he asked, "For what?"

"I want to be Countess Ferguson, and Domenech can help you!" With a sigh, Eugenia looked up at Jack Ferguson and said:

Hearing his wife's explanation, Jack Ferguson laughed angrily, blew on the clean revolver in his hand, and then asked Eugenia, "So, Eugenia, I should thank you?"

"Jack, over the years, you've had at least eight or ten women outside, if not ten. Have you ever seen me cause a scene?" Eugenia continued, glancing at the revolver in Jack Ferguson's hand.

"Eugenia, should I thank you?" Jack Ferguson said casually. As soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly raised the revolver in his hand, which was wiped clean and shiny with a handkerchief, and aimed it at Eugenia's forehead.

The reason Jack Ferguson didn't take out his gun to fight Domenech when Domenech was there was entirely because Domenech was a Grand Knight. If a fight broke out, Jack Ferguson would probably have been killed or subdued by Domenech before he even had a chance to take the revolver out of his desk drawer. But now, facing Eugenia, this middle-aged woman who had no ability to resist, Jack Ferguson had no such concerns at all.

Facing her husband, with whom she had shared a bed for decades, and the raised muzzle of a gun, Eugenia showed no fear whatsoever. Calmly and resolutely, she said to Jack Ferguson, "Jack, you won't shoot!"

"Hahaha, I'll kill you first, you bitch, then tell Butler Martinez everything about Domenech's plans. Domenech, you, and your damned plans will all be finished!" With the gun pressed against Eugenia's forehead, Jack Ferguson's face was contorted with rage as he growled viciously.

"Jack, I'm glad to see how important I am to you, but do you think it's worth it? I'm your last hope. If I die, you won't live either. The Da Silva family will not let you go!" Eugenia continued calmly.

Upon hearing the name "Da Silva family," a hint of hesitation flashed in Jack Ferguson's eyes, but the muzzle of his revolver remained firmly pressed against Eugenia's forehead.

"Tell me, if I don't agree to your and Domenech's suggestion today, what will you two adulterers do?" After thinking for a few seconds, Jack Ferguson coldly asked Eugenia:

Feeling the ferocity in her husband's eyes and the coldness of the gun barrel against her forehead, Eugenia remained silent for a moment before beginning her story: "Domenech has ordered his men to secretly infiltrate Frosinone. His original plan was that if you agreed to his plan, he would make you feign illness, preventing you from assuming the position of principal at Ferguson High School, and then send you to Ferguson Manor to recuperate!"

"This way, Martinez's attention will be entirely focused on you. On the one hand, it buys him time to plan his operation. On the other hand, Ferguson Estate is a place once managed by his ally Bernardo, with many former students and friends there. Domenech can calmly deploy some people there. And when things develop to a certain point, Martinez will inevitably go back to Ferguson Estate to visit you. That will be his opportunity to make his move!"

As she moved on to the crucial part, Eugenia closed her eyes and whispered, "If you disagree with his plan, Domenech plans to kill you, stage your death as suicide, and then, at your funeral at Ferguson Manor, Martinez, as the family's head butler, will definitely be there. That will be his opportunity to strike..."

"Then, with my death and that bastard Domenech taking control of the family power, Henry, as the third in line to the throne, can rightfully become the head of the family, while Domenech can become the de facto controller of the family. As for Eugenia, you can also rise in the family status through Henry?" Before Eugenia could finish speaking, Jack Ferguson sneered and continued.

Eugenia, with her eyes closed, did not refute Jack Ferguson's account, tacitly agreeing with it. Her current demeanor suggested she was awaiting the sound of gunfire, awaiting Jack Ferguson's final judgment...

Seeing his wife give up resistance, Jack Ferguson, who could have easily killed her with a flick of his finger, unexpectedly took the revolver from Eugenia's forehead.

Although it appears that Jack Ferguson abandoned the idea of ​​killing Eugenia, this wasn't a decision based on lingering feelings for her. Ferguson made this decision entirely rationally. He knew very well that while Eugenia had offered two plans, given Domenech's personality, if he had to choose, he would definitely choose the latter—killing him and using his funeral to lure Martinez into a trap—ensuring that he wouldn't become the variable that disrupted his plans.

So the fact that Domenech came to discuss things with me today, instead of killing me outright, shows that Eugenia has done some work on this matter. This also shows that Eugenia is not truly on Domenech's side!

As she felt the muzzle of Jack Ferguson's revolver move away from her forehead, Eugenia opened her eyes and took a deep breath. Although she was very brave and certain that, at his suggestion, her usually indecisive and hesitant husband wouldn't actually shoot her, the fear of death instantly overwhelmed her when a loaded revolver was pressed against her head.

"Why should I believe you?" Jack Ferguson asked coldly. Although he had taken the revolver off Eugenia's forehead, he did not put it away. Instead, he held it in his hand and casually fiddled with it. The threat in his words and actions was self-evident.
