James examined Madeline calmly and found she was just a weak young lady.
One look told him he could easily break her neck.
James clenched his fists, his bones cracking loudly.
Monica was seated in the rear of the car. Upon spotting Madeline’s arrival, she felt a sense of unease and promptly exited the vehicle.
Monica said, “James, that’s Madelinet She’s the one who hit me and killed Borris!”
Monica’s face was full of resentment. Thinking about how Madeline killed Borris stirred up a mix of sadness and anger in her heart. Monica said. “James, you can’t let her get away with it. She’s a murderer, the one to blame for all this! If she didn’t have powerful connections, Borris wouldn’t have died so young.
Monica bit her lip, unable to hold back her sorrow
Then Monica continued. “That night, Dad and Mom begged her with all they had, but she wouldn’t back down at all. She even made sure we heard Borris cry on the phone”
Monica covered her eyes, unable to continue. It was too cruel.
The thought of her beloved cousin Borris tragic fate angered Monica,
James had beard the recorded convenation too. That day’s call hurt the entire Williams family.
Madeline lifted her gaze, meeting Monica’s eyes directly. “Monica, I’m telling you, you deserve this. Do you really think no one could punish you! Don’t you know how your cousin died?” asked Madeline.
A moment of unease showed on Monica’s face, but she quickly calmed down.
Monica exclaimed, “My cousin died because of you! Madeline, you’re so cruel!”
Madeline chuckled, her eyes staring directly at Monica
Monica felt guilty under
Madeline’s gaze.
Then Monica shouted, “James, avenge
Borris!”
People around looked at Madeline with some pity, thinking. She’s such a pretty lady Why is she determined to meet her end? It really seems like they’re about to punish her! Oh, pathetic!
Surrounded by fighters, Madeline looked so weak. It seemed she probably couldn’t even handle a single blow,
Layla grabbed Joel and quickly said, “Maddie, don’t get involved. This is between Henry and the Williams family. It has nothing to do with y stay out of it.”
1 you so
Layla wanted to find an excuse to save Madeline.
Layla didn’t know what else the could do to help Madeline.
Monica said, “Don’t try to deny it. All of this is Madeline’s doing!” She glared at Madeline, her face twisted with jealousy and aggression Then she continued. “If it hadn’t been for Madeline, none of this would have happened. She must diet Well, of course, and don’t think any of you will be leaving either.
What a loving family! Why don’t all of you just die together? Since my cousin is gone, why should you get to live!”
Hearing their conversations, James remained silent for a long while. Finally, he said gravely. “No matter what the reason is, I want you all to pay with your lives for my brother’s death!”
Layla’s heart skipped a beat..
Madeline pressed her lips together The Williams family, relying on their power and connections, was indeed as arrogant and bullying as the
rumors sail
Madeline glanced down at the bloodied Joel and murmured. “You won’t die right away, will your“
Joel replied, frustrated, “Of course not. Are you worried about met Can you say something nice for once?”
“Me worried about you?” Madeline said, feeling disgusted.
It was akin to walking down the street and inadvertently stepping in a pile of dog excrement, which was utterly repulsive.
Madeline asked, “Where is Henry?”
Layla sighed and answered, “He’s awake now, but now he has to deal with such a situation.”
Monica sneered and said, “We came here because we knew Henry woke up. Otherwise, why do you think we would bother coming today? Honestly, we wouldn’t have been this mad if Henry had been killed. Why is he alive when my cousin isn’t?
Madeline smirked, “Because your cousin got what he deserve.”
Madeline’s words were as sharp as a knife,
Instantly, a shock went through James’s group, their faces darkening with anger.
The anger within them was barely contained, and their faces betrayed their perilous intentions
If it hadn’t been for Monica at the front, they might have rushed forward to strangle Madeline on the spot
Monica raised her hand and was about to slap Madeline across the face.
The slap rang out, sharp and clear.
However, it wasn’t Madeline’s check that took it: Monica’s own face felt the sting.
Monica stumbled a few steps back, but James’s followers caught her just in time, preventing her from falling
Monica’s cheek throbbed with pain, tears filling her eyes. Monica screamed, “Madeline, you insulted my dead cousin and now you’re hitting me! How dare your
Madeline shook her arm dismissively and said,
“So what? You aren’t at the Williams residence now, and no ones going to pamper you here”
James suddenly lunged, grabbing Madeline by the collar. His towering frame forced her to look up at him.
James growled. “How dare you!
“You bitch! You caused my brother’s death, and now you’ll watch your family die in front of you!”
James waved his hand and ordered his men, “Get them all in the car and head to the family chapel
Layla felt utterly hopeless, thinking, “How could Madeline still be so stubborn? Our lives are in their hands, yet Madeline keeps provoking them!
Now, we
we are all doomed.
Layla stammered, “Madeline, you…..”
Layla was so frustrated and terrified.
However, she didn’t notice that Madeline was calm and unafraid
Joel struggled weakly and said, “A life for a life! I’ll pay with my life, and just let the others go”
Madeline was a bit surprised. Joel used to be heartless, and when did he become so unselfish!
She didn’t expect Joel to be willing to risk his life to protect others.
Joel spat out a mouthful of blood and said, “It all started because of me. Madeline offended you, and then everything unfolded.
Ill take the blame. Just let the others go
Layla couldn’t hold back her tears and said, “Joel, stop
Joel was aware that the Larson family would not back them up. Having offended the influential Williams family, they were now facing consequences they couldn’t evade.
Worse still, a member of the Williams family had been killed.
Joel saw himself as a burden to his family, feeling that he was the most useless member. He believed it was fair that he should bear all the Consequences.
Someone rushed over, seized Joel, and thrust him in front of James, exclaiming, “James, he’s amilacious! It appears the family is truly cohesive. Horris has been shain, yet you all still dare to stand together. You’re all doomed“”
Joel closed his eyes in despair.
He couldn’t help but wonder if they were destined to face doom today. Just because they were weak, Henry had been severely beaten, and it seemed their family couldn’t avoid a tragic ending.
Joel grined his teeth, a feeling of frustration boiling inside him.
Suddenly, the sound of footsteps echoed, and a formidable team of guards rushed over.
Ander was standing at the front. He said to Madeline with a composed look, “Ms. Larson, without your orders, we shouldn’t have appeared, but if we don’t act now, you might get in danger.
“Mr. Simmons has instructed that if you were harmed, we would all be responsible”
