Chapter 366
Albert Sullivan's eyes were blood red.
He choked Vivian Bennett's neck with a death grip.
Sylvia Sullivan and Eleanor Sullivan desperately pulled at his arms.
Their efforts could not loosen his hold.
Vivian's face turned blue.
Her breathing grew faint.
Patriarch Sullivan raised his cane.
He struck Albert hard on the shoulder.
Albert cried out in pain and released his grip.
Vivian collapsed to the floor like a fallen leaf.
He lunged forward again, screaming wildly.
"You killed Shadow! I want your life!"
His fingers brushed against the bloodstained jade pendant at her neck.
He froze abruptly.
Albert knelt on the ground, dazed.
His eyes cleared, regaining their sanity.
He looked at Vivian, who was barely alive.
His hands trembled as he withdrew them.
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
Yet confusion filled their hearts.
"Call an ambulance!" Eleanor shouted urgently.
She knelt down and pressed hard on Vivian's philtrum.
Vivian's eyes slowly opened.
Her gaze was unfocused.
The ambulance was taking too long.
Eleanor ordered the driver to prepare the car.
Servants carefully carried Vivian into the vehicle.
Eleanor followed closely behind.
The car sped away.
Sylvia understood what the two dogs meant to her husband.
Over the years, they had filled the void of not having children.
Albert treated Shadow and Snowball like his own sons.
Six years of devoted care had forged a bond as strong as blood.
Shadow's death had completely shattered him.
Sylvia understood his loss of control.
But why had the gentle Shadow suddenly attacked Vivian?
A dog that had never harmed anyone in six years, how could it suddenly turn vicious?
She looked around the devastated greenhouse.
She imagined the horror of what had happened.
Patriarch Sullivan instructed the servants to clean up the scene.
He noticed Isabella Sullivan trembling in the corner.
"It's alright now," the old man comforted gently.
Isabella suddenly burst into tears.
"It's all my fault for being too cowardly..."
"If I had been braver, Miss Vivian wouldn't have been hurt..."
"But Shadow was so terrifying then, I didn't dare to step forward..."
