Luis remained silent, but there was a trace of pity in his eyes,

Caleb’s POV:
Seeing that Luis’ face had softened, Tina pleaded desperately, hoping for a sliver of compassion.
“Luis, don’t you care for me? I’m your sister! I’m also a member of the Barton family. Doesn’t that mean anything?”

Luis heaved a sigh and spoke wearily.

“Tina, I know you did it for Janiya, but you have to acknowledge that you made a big mistake. As a Barton, you should know. .
His measured strides drew him nearer to Tina, his face icy and aloof. Time slowed, and a sense of foreboding washed over me.
Luis’ hand found its way to her neck with a sudden, almost impulsive touch.
A tremor coursed through me, and I flinched involuntarily. Just as I prepared to react, a faint yet distinct “click” reached my ears. My heart skipped a beat. Tina’s head was tilted to the side, the light in her eyes gradually fading away as her body slipped from Luis‘ hand, and fell to the floor with a chilling thud.
The realization unfurled like a sinister blossom-Luis had strangled her.
One second she was alive. In the next, she was a corpse, her eyes glassy, lungs empty, cooling on the floor,
Luis stood up, dusting his hands before he turned to me.
“I’ll leave the corpse to you, Caleb. Do what you like, it’s up to you. I have something else to do, so I won’t see you out.”
He left without a second glance, strides purposeful, leaving Tina’s body on the floor.
Both Zoe and Carlos stood aghast, left flabbergasted by the scene.

“This is too cruel,” Carlos uttered, his voice tinged with shock.
“Even a butcher isn’t as cold-blooded.”
Zoe’s nodded.
“He acted so decisively and brutally, almost as if he was afraid of Tina falling into our hand. To protect the Barton family’s secret, he killed her without a second of hesitation,”
I didn’t dwell on it because I was well acquainted with Luis’ character. He was not a good person.
Business-minded people valued their interests the most. Luis, the orchestrator of the Barton family’s market expansion, bore the unmistakable imprint of a character that was from virtuous.
After all, his unflinching ruthlessness was the reason for his bubbling prosperity.
Tina’s story found its conclusion here. Summoning Carlos, I had him retrieve her lifeless form, and then I contacted my father and the elders to tell them to gather in the meeting hall.
Tina’s lifeless body struck my father like lightning.
