Female Novel
Chapter 271
“What’d you say? I dare you to say that again!” Blake could not contain his anger and raised his palmthreateningly.
For so many years, the Hind Family had always been about whatever he said goes. Although Jake wasthe nominal head of the family, the one who held actual power was Blake. Moreover, his youngerbrother had always been obedient and never disobeyed him before. That was a first.
“Huh!” Jake took a deep breath. He was still afraid of his older brother, but he had no choice as he hadto avenge his son! “Blake, my stance will remain the same! There’s no putting the toothpaste back inthe tube. Since I’ve started it, I won’t give up halfway! I won’t return the ashes! That is unless I killThomas! I will avenge Drake!”
“You… You…” Blake’s hand was trembling in the air. He truly wanted to teach his younger brother alesson but could not bring himself to do it.
Drake’s death was a blow to him. Looking at it from another perspective, it was understandable that hisyounger brother hated Thomas. It was the hatred that clouded his judgment and led him to do such anoutrageous thing.novelbin
“Do as you please then…” After saying these words, Blake turned and walked upstairs. At thatmoment, his figure was filled with helplessness and sorrow, as if he had aged ten years in an instant.
Seeing Blake like this, Jake felt a sudden pang of pain in his heart. He suddenly regretted his defianceearlier. Perhaps if he had not opposed his brother, he would not be so heartbroken now. He evenwanted to apologize to his brother, but his mouth moved as if something was stuck in his throat, and inthe end, he could not say anything.
Blake, I’m sorry. I can’t listen to you this time. But don’t worry because I won’t let you down. Just watchhow I avenge Drake and all the members of our Hind Family who died at Thomas’ hands! I will tear him
apart, along with his foster sister, Olivia, and Declan. None of them will survive! When I hand over thePearson Family to you, maybe then you’ll know everything I’ve done is right. Jake clenched his fistsand thought to himself.
He turned around and left the villa, heading back to the Hind Group. After that, he called for his trustedsubordinate—the one he had arranged to desecrate Chloe’s mother’s grave. “Did you find out whoratted us out?” His voice was cold.
The man nodded. “Yes, I did.”
“Good. Get rid of him!”
“W-What? Boss, but that’s…”
“What is it? Are you trying to say that he’s my brother’s man? Let me ask you, am I the head of theHind Family or my brother?”
The man quickly replied, “Of course you are. There’s no doubt about it. Everyone in Irieson knows.”
“Well, if that’s the case, I’m not gonna repeat myself. Get it done!”
“Yes, boss!” The man exited the room.
Jake knew his brother well. If he did not oppose him further, it meant he had tacitly approved of hisactions. He could finally let loose and take decisive action. Still, the person who betrayed him could notbe spared. He wanted to use their death as a warning to others within the Hind Group, a blatant displayof the consequences of betrayal. Otherwise, he would not be able to hide anything he did in the future!
Jake was indeed dissatisfied. He was the head of the Hind Family and also the leader of the HindGroup. You work for the Hind Group, receiving the salary I give you, yet you betrayed me? Well, I’msorry, but I can’t let you live!
Finding out who had betrayed him was relatively simple. After all, over the years, his brother had onlyplanted a few people in the Hind Group. The target group to investigate was small. Jake had becomeso obsessed that he dared to kill even his brother’s men. He truly had an audacious streak.
Half an hour later, his trusted subordinate knocked on the door and entered. “Boss, the person hasbeen taken care of.”
“Very good!” Jake nodded in satisfaction. “How are the preparations at the Green Lake Manor?”
“Everything is in order. Yesterday evening, we sent out the letter as you requested. I believe Thomaswill come tonight. He won’t be able to escape!”
“Good!” Jake revealed a contented smile. The two groups of assassins he had paid a hefty price to hirewere ready according to his instructions. Everything was set, and all it needed was for Thomas to walkinto their trap.
He drove to Green Lake Manor, located on the outskirts, which was also well-known for its internallake, large size, and luxurious decorations. Even the manor’s interior was filled with peach blossoms,giving it a secluded paradise-like atmosphere. Compared to the estate where Blake had invitedTerrence to have breakfast, it was equally impressive.
Jake held the urn and sat at a pavilion on top of an artificial mountain. This was the highest point of theentire estate, offering a panoramic view of the surroundings. He had planned it out. When Thomasarrived, he would not kill him directly. Instead, he would bind Thomas tightly and force him to watch asChloe’s mother’s ashes were scattered into the lake, feeding the fish.
You dared to offend me? You killed my son! None of your dead loved ones will rest in peace!
Just thinking about it made Jake uncontrollably excited. “Haha! Hahahaha!” An almost maniacallaughter echoed throughout the estate, sending shivers down one’s spine.
He looked at the traps and mechanisms meticulously arranged throughout the estate, where every stepwas almost the wrong one. Coupled with the two groups of assassins he had hired at a high price, evenif Thomas was impressive, he would not be able to escape death.
Jake turned and walked back to the villa. The only thing left was for Thomas to walk into his trapwillingly.
Ring!
Unknowingly, it had already become late at night. With the tolling of a bell, the clock’s hands pointed tomidnight. All the personnel in the estate were already in position, countless pairs of eyes fixed on thedirection of the estate’s main gate.
Jake felt puzzled. What’s going on? Why don’t I see any sign of Thomas? Is he too afraid to come in?
With that thought, he immediately ordered someone to retrieve the surveillance footage from theentrance and carefully examined it. However, there was no sign of Thomas, not even a ghostly shadow.
“Huh! Just wait a little longer. Maybe Thomas isn’t familiar with this place and is still looking for the wayhere.” Jake had to console himself in this way.
However, it was already 12.30AM, yet there was still no image of Thomas. Now, the person who couldnot sit still was Jake.
