Female Novel
Chapter 308
Sean looked at William with a puzzled expression. “Are you telling me the truth? Is that the troubleThomas is facing now?”
It was understandable that he found it hard to believe. From Sean’s perspective, this situation didn’teven qualify as trouble since Sean himself could resolve it without the intervention of his family.
“You still don’t believe me? Alright, let me take you to meet someone. Once you see them, you’llunderstand,” William said while firmly gripping Sean’s arm and leading him toward one of the PeraltaFamily’s hourly hotels. They proceeded directly to the door of a room distinct from the others.
It was evident that this room stood apart from the others. Two imposing bodyguards stood sentry at theentrance.
“Mr. William!” The bodyguards respectfully greeted William.
William nodded in acknowledgment and led Sean inside.
The scene was chaotic inside the room. A middle-aged man lay helplessly bound on the floor while hismuffled cries filled the room when he spotted the duo’s entrance.
William gestured for the bodyguards to remove the cloth from the man’s mouth.
“P-Please, mercy on me! I was wrong! I won’t do it again!” the man begged.
“Tell me, did Thomas kill Felice Lott?” William demanded.
“I… I don’t know!” the man stammered in response.
“Then, why did you fabricate evidence to implicate Thomas in Felice’s murder?” William pressedfurther.
“It was… It was at my employer’s request! I was merely following orders,” the man confessed withoutresistance. He revealed how even their private detective agency’s boss had faced the consequences.As a mere team member, he realized the insignificance of his role.
William pointed toward a DV recorder within the room and turned to Sean. “Take a look for yourself.”
Sean approached the device without any further questions and started watching the recorded footage.The more he watched, the more his face contorted with anger and disbelief.
The video recording revealed individuals engaged in casual conversation around a table. The maleprotagonist bore a striking resemblance to Thomas. However, anyone well-acquainted with Thomascould easily discern that the similarity was achieved through makeup and other deceptive means.
To Sean’s dismay, the “Thomas” in the video admitted to the murder of Felice. He even declared thatkilling Felice wasn’t enough, and he intended to eliminate Felice’s parents as well!
All the doubt lingering within Sean previously had dissipated entirely. His undivided attention becamefixated on the gravity of this revelation.
Once the video ended, Sean could no longer contain his fury. This is an unabashed false accusation!Accusing others unjustly is one thing, but to falsely implicate my sworn? It’s an unforgivable offense!
As for Felice’s parents, they are equally despicable! I am aware of Thomas’ past to some extent. Hasn’tThomas been generous toward them? He has provided them with financial support for eight years fortheir entire household. However, their gratitude is to blame Thomas for their daughter’s infidelity andsubsequent demise. They are nothing short of a treacherous family!
“You damn…” Sean’s words trailed off as he unleashed his fury, delivering a swift and forceful kick tothe man on the floor.
“Ah! Spare me!” The man was pleading for mercy.
However, mercy was not within Sean’s grasp. He continued his assault by unleashing a barrage ofpunches and kicks toward him.
William felt a sense of vindication while observing this scene. Indeed, this sworn brother of his hadalways been susceptible to his tricks since childhood. It was no exception that deception had alwayscome effortlessly. William had successfully misled him with a mere incident.
Yes, William had initially dismissed it as a minor matter. It wasn’t until later that he realized the gravityof his mistake.
“Alright, that’s enough! Any more, and he’ll be dead!” William intervened and rushed forward to restrainSean from further violence.
Sean pointed at the man and exclaimed, “How dare you falsely accuse my brother, Thomas! You betterwait for me because I’m going to send all of you to jail and make sure you rot there!”
“Sean, leave this to me. Our main task now is to stay by Thomas’ side,” William said while trying tocatch his breath as they left the hourly hotel. They soon returned to Acketts Estate.
William signaled a guard and inquired, “Any movement inside the villa?”
“Mr. Clifford opened the front door slightly an hour ago to bring in some food. I don’t think there’sanything wrong,” the guard reported.
“Phew!” Both William and Sean let out a sigh of relief. It seemed that Thomas was indeed safe.
Meanwhile, outside the office building of Keyshire Property, the employees left the office as it was theend of the workday. However, instead of leaving like they usually did, they stood still and gatheredoutside the building.
Because the area in front of the building had turned into a sea of roses. The intense fragrance offlowers filled the air, and the vibrant red color dazzled many.
Gunnar, dressed in a pristine white Armani suit, stood at the forefront of the crowd with a subtle smile.Behind him were several assistants and a long line of Lamborghini supercars.
“Wow! Look at that handsome man!”
“Yes! Handsome and rich. Those Lamborghinis must belong to him!”novelbin
“How romantic! I wonder who he’s here for. If he were pursuing me, I’d say yes without hesitation!”
“Come on, stop daydreaming! He’s here to confess his love to our president, Miss Pearson!”
Some admiring voices could be heard from the crowd.
“Why aren’t you all rushing to go home?” Molly emerged from the crowd, carrying her bag. Theentrance of the office building had become congested, and she had used much effort before shemanaged to squeeze her way out.
“Molly, come and see the spectacle. This man is confessing his love to our president!”
“Yeah, and he’s rich and romantic!”
Molly followed the direction everyone was pointing, and her gaze calmly fell upon the man standingthere. There was a hint of disdain in her eyes.
Her heart had already belonged to Thomas. Compared with him, she had considered all other men inthe world insignificant. Therefore, she saw nothing exceptional in the man before her.
She waved her hand dismissively and beckoned the head of the security team. She instructed firmly,“Go and remove all these roses from the entrance. They’re obstructing the way. Also, ensure that theseonlookers disperse immediately.”
The head of the security team nodded and promptly replied, “Yes, I’ll take care of it right away.”
Although Molly was a mere secretary, her influence within Keyshire Property was significant; it was akinto that of the company’s top executives. After all, she was Olivia’s trusted confidante.
“What are you guys doing?” Gunnar became displeased when he noticed the security teamapproaching the roses that he had meticulously arranged. He would not allow them to ruin his romanticgesture before Olivia could even witness it.
