Chapter 1140 Using His Seniority to Pressure Others
Alijah sounded like he was speaking to Austin, but also as if he were talking to himself.
“I should have left long ago. I foolishly held onto the hope of seeing you marry and have children, but that was just wishful thinking.”
Upon hearing this, Austin completely lost his composure and turned to Wynter. “Wynter, you can save Grandpa, right? You must be able to save him!”
“I can’t,” Wynter replied with lowered eyes. “Someone who was supposed to have passed away would only drain the vitality around them when they stay in a place where they don’t belong.
“Not only would he harm his descendants, but others as well.”
Hugging Alijah, Austin shook his head desperately. “My grandpa isn’t like that. Wynter, I beg you. He loves me the most. Please, just this once.”
Alijah also looked at Wynter with one hand still hidden behind his back.
Originally, Wynter didn’t want to expose him. She preferred to leave only good memories for the
grandfather and grandson.
But since Alijah had meddled in things he shouldn’t have, he must pay the price for it.
“Is seeing Austin marry and have children your only wish, or do you want to achieve immortality through witchcraft, Mr. Fenton Senior? You should tell Austin what elixir allowed you to live this long.”
“Wynter, I don’t understand what you’re saying. I can’t control myself.” Alijah looked pitiful. “If I could choose, I wouldn’t want to live like this either.
“But I’ve become like this ever since that Yvette lady treated me. I really can’t control it.”
Such acting might have fooled others, but Wynter was, after all, a psychologist.
Whenever there was a contradiction between speech and behavior, it proved that everything he said was only for himself.
Wynter’s eyes darkened. “She didn’t let you die, nor did she save you. You should be aware of your own changes. You even killed someone. Before this, you planned to attack Logan, didn’t you?”
Austin couldn’t believe what he was hearing. “Grandpa, you wanted to attack Logan?”
“I didn’t!” Alijah struggled to speak with his last breath. “Wynter, I have no grudge against you. How could you wrongly accuse me like this? 1–I wouldn’t ever harm someone younger than me.”
Wynter looked at him. “You just didn’t succeed because he has a stronger sigil on him. Yet, you haven’t given up finding a substitute.
“You wanted to appear normal, so you consumed offerings. But you didn’t want to do that anymore, so you’ve turned to using human blood.

“A malevolent spirit will leave marks first if it wants to completely take over another person’s body
“You’ll be easily exposed if you do it to others. But if it’s your own grandson, it’ll be much simpler. You can
take over a little bit every day while he’s unaware.
“Most importantly, he’s still young. You can use his body for a long time.”
As Wynter said that, she pulled Austin closer to her with her hands on his shoulder.
No one noticed just now, but now they saw it clearly Austin’s shoulders were covered with countless
black palm prints, which were densely packed. They looked horrifying
Seeing this scene, not only Austin’s, but even Malik’s face changed. He pulled Austin back, and his eyes. were filled with confusion “Why, Dad? Austin is your grandson!”
If Malik still didn’t understand what Wynter meant by now, then he would truly be foolish
But how could he accept that his father had turned into someone like this?
“You can give birth to another grandson for me.” Alijah’s eyes suddenly turned cold. “You know the situation with the Fenton family now
“What use is a brat like him? Why should I be the one who dies? Why not someone else?
“There are so many villains in this world. What’s wrong with me living a little longer? Aren’t you supposed to be my most dutiful son?”
