Sydney thought for a while, but she couldn’t recall a person named Caybel.
However, she was inexplicably familiar with the name Caybel, as she seemed to have heard it sometime.
'When did I hear the name?'
"Yes!" Burton took a step backward. A trace of viciousness flashed in his eyes. Then he toyed with his ring and added, "I’ve been looking for Caybel for several years. It takes me great effort to find him. But he is so smart and alert that I can’t do anything to him, so I can only turn my attention to you."
He stretched out his hand to raise Sydney's
chin.
His fingers were so icy that Sydney shivered involuntarily, and a trace of fear appeared in her eyes.
Yes, it was fear.
Intuition told her that this man was very malicious.
"You turn your attention to me..." Sydney swallowed and asked in a trembling voice." Why me?"
"I've just said that you are the woman who Caybel cares about. So, if I want to teach him a lesson, I can only use you. As long as I catch you, he will definitely come to save you. And then I can kill him." Burton gave a grim smile.
Sydney shivered again. "You... You want to kill him?"
"If I don't kill him, I'll feel uneasy!" Burton nodded, as he didn't plan to hide his vicious intention at all.
Burton was the fourth illegitimate son of Lincoln.
When Lincoln was young, he was very good at flirting with women. And he seduced many women to give birth to children for him, all of whom were sons. Burton had three older brothers and many younger brothers.
All Lincoln’s illegitimate sons desired to become the heir to the Bennet family and get everything in the Bennet family, so they never stopped vying against one another openly and secretly. Though Lincoln knew his sons were competing fiercely, he never stopped them. So, his illegitimate sons tried every conceivable way to defeat or kill their brothers.
Lincoln had over ten illegitimate sons altogether, most of whom were killed, disabled, or driven out to another country. In the end, only Burton and Lincoln's other four sons were left. However, just when Burton and the others thought that an heir would be from them, they did not expect that Lincoln had never intended to let them inherit the Bennet family, as he kept secretly looking for his son delivered by his wife, the only legitimate heir to the Bennet family.
But the legitimate son and his mother were driven out of the Bennet family by Lincoln when he was five years old, so Lincoln's illegitimate sons had never regarded Caybel as a real opponent. But probably because he was aging and sick, Lincoln started to miss his wife and legitimate son unexpectedly. He asked people to look for his legitimate son and intended to let him take over the Bennet family.
Lincoln's five illegitimate sons had defeated so many brothers and worked so hard just to inherit the Bennet family. So, they couldn’t allow the legitimate son to come back and grab the fortune of the Bennet family from them.
The five of them temporarily suspended rivalry against one another and decided to cooperate to deal with Caybel first, as Caybel, the legitimate son, was more qualified to be the heir than them.
Besides, Burton found out where Caybel was earlier than his other four brothers. After determining who Caybel was, Burton arranged for some people to secretly create trouble for Caybel, as he planned to cause Caybel to die in an accident. But Caybel survived each time.
Burton couldn't wait any longer, so he came to deal with Caybel in person. But he failed several times. Then he suddenly found that Caybel had a close relationship with Sydney, so he asked someone to find out information about Sydney, as he meant to use Sydney to snare and kill Caybel in one fell swoop.
Sydney didn't know what Burton was thinking about. She just looked at him in horror. "You are too horrible."
'Besides this man, Lyra and Brandon are also frightening.’
'Are they heartless?’
'Why do they always want to kill others?'
"I'm horrible?" When Burton listened to Sydney's comment on him, not only did he not get angry, but he laughed happily. His laughter was particularly scary and unpleasant. "You’re right. I'm really horrible. And I like it when people consider me horrible. This makes me feel great!"
He withdrew his hand, opened his arms and raised his chin slightly, as if he had been a king.
Then he raised Sydney’s chin again.
