Chapter 1857: Wearing the Green Hat
In the living room, several rows of people were kneeling, all tightly bound with their hands tied behind their backs and their feet bound with ropes.
Felix hadn’t seen Johnie for a while, his half-brother from a different mother who had once coveted everything he had. Unfortunately, he couldn’t defeat Fox in the Saunders family, gradually losing his position in front of Reese. Now, even he had been bound and knocked unconscious, lying on the ground with his hands and feet tied. Blood oozed from his forehead, clearly indicating a fierce struggle.
Felix could guess that it must have been Fox who tricked Johnie into coming here, planning to capture them all today. This was the collusion between Fox and Seren.
Carlo was the first to notice Felix and Luther. He shouted in fear, “Mr. Saunders, Mr. Warner, run! Don’t come here, it’s a trap! They have taken control of this place.”
Before he could finish his words, a black-clad figure fiercely struck Carlo’s neck from behind. “You damn fool, spreading nonsense. Shut up!” With a single blow, Carlo lost consciousness and fell to the ground, motionless.
Felix grew angry and took a step forward, but Luther quickly grabbed him. “Don’t be impulsive, let’s assess the situation first.”
Luther pointed in the direction of Reese, saying, “Reese seems to have passed out.”
Indeed, Reese had already fainted from the anger earlier, but the commotion in the living room had awakened him. He was now tied to the mahogany chair where he usually sat, unable to move. Despite his advanced age, he still exuded a fierce aura. Even in such a desperate situation, he refused to abandon the dignity of the Saunders family.
Reese opened his eyes and squinted when he saw Felix return. “Felix, you came just in time. Show them what you’re made of and let them know that I, Reese, still have a capable son who is not easy to mess with!”
Finally, Felix shouted, “Dad, don’t move, don’t get worked up. Watch out for high blood pressure. Leave this to me.”
Reese nodded and looked around. “Why haven’t I seen that bastard Fox?”
As if realizing something, Reese suddenly reacted. “So it was that despicable Fox who has been deceiving me all these years.”
Bride glanced at her brother Westbrook, who was also bound on the ground. Westbrook had been scared unconscious earlier and now lay there with closed eyes and tense facial expression. Since being slapped by the man in black, Bride didn’t dare to speak anymore. Even when she saw Felix enter, she didn’t dare to make a sound.
At that moment, she desperately made eye contact with Felix and kept looking back.
Following Bride’s gaze, Luther looked towards the temporary meeting room at the back of the living room. He leaned close to Felix’s ear and said, “I think Seren and the others must be hiding in that room. Let’s not act yet to avoid falling into a trap.”
Felix nodded. “I know. Even if we go untie them now and rescue a few people, it won’t make a difference.”
Bride breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that Felix didn’t fall for it. Then she forcefully kicked Westbrook with her foot.
After being kicked more than a dozen times, Westbrook finally regained consciousness. Sobbing, he reached out to Felix, “Brother, brother, save me! Brother, please save me! There are bad people, they are all bad! Waaah!”
Reese grew impatient with the crying and shouted, “You useless fool, shut up! Worthless piece of crap, you’re scared by such a small matter. A man from the Saunders family shouldn’t cry, even if he dies!”
Afraid by Reese’s outburst, Westbrook dared not make a sound.
Finally, Fox appeared.
As soon as Westbrook saw his mother, he immediately cried out like a pig being slaughtered, “Mom, Mom, why aren’t you tied up? Mom, please save me, save me!”
“You despicable woman, you finally show up. Are you the one behind all this? Do you have a part in today’s events?” Reese, seeing Fox, bared his teeth, his eyes filled with anger. “You damn woman, I’ve treated you well all these years. You ungrateful wretch! You actually colluded with outsiders to harm our Saunders family, you vile woman. Watch me kill you.”
Fox, with her glamorous makeup and blood-red lips, had finally recovered from the injuries she suffered at Vicki’s hands. She sneered repeatedly, “You old man, still thinking you’re young? You reek of old age, both in bed and in general. I’ve long been sick of you. What kind of man are you? With your current behaviorand character, you think you can kill me? I could kill you with ease.”
While speaking, Fox approached Westbrook. She untied his ropes, and Westbrook hugged her, crying, “Mom, Mom, please untie Dad and sister, as well as my older brother and Carlo. Please save them!”
He then pulled Fox forcefully towards Reese.
Felix was surprised to see Westbrook behaving so maturely at this moment, no longer selfish and self-centered, and even thinking of saving others. After several interventions, Westbrook had indeed changed. It showed that a child was like a blank slate, and those who raised the child played a crucial role.
Fox abruptly pushed Westbrook away. “Go to your room. This has nothing to do with you! Stay there quietly and don’t come out.”
Westbrook was frightened by his mother’s sinister expression. He had never seen her look so terrifying before.
He couldn’t understand. “Why? Please save Dad!”
“Get lost!” Fox grew impatient. “This old man isn’t your father. He doesn’t have the ability to father a child. It’s a joke. Remember, he’s not your father.”
At this point, she saw no need to hide anymore. She would kill this old man today, and she no longer had to fear him!
“What!” Reese’s face crumbled as if aged ten years in an instant. He couldn’t accept it. How could his most cherished son not be his own? This woman had cuckolded him?! How could the once dominant him bear it?!Content property of NôvelDra/ma.Org.
“Hmph, spare me the insults. If it weren’t for money, who would willingly sleep with an old man like you?” Fox spat, recalling that she had seduced Reese out of spite. Now that Reese was even older, she couldn’t stand him anymore.
Seizing this opportunity, she was determined to get rid of this old man. She was still young and didn’t want to waste her youth any longer.
