Female Novel
Chapter 925
At this moment, in the Cox residence, just as Neera had suspected, there was indeed some progress in the matterof the wug.
Yesterday, after obtaining the medicine prepared by Neera, Violet paid a visit to Avery's residence.
Her thoughts were correct. The person who could curse Avery must definitely be someone close to him.
This person was very likely to be a confidant in Avery's personal life or perhaps in his professional life.
As expected, in the afternoon, she overheard two maids discussing hearing strange noises coming from Charles'room.
“What strange noise?” she asked, halting in her steps.
The two maids experienced a momentary sense of surprise, but without dwelling on it too long, they offered anhonest response, “It's almost as if he's intentionally concealing a sense of anguish, giving off an impression thathe's quite uncomfortable...”
Violet sensed something was amiss and turned to check Charles' room.
Never did she expect to witness Charles writhing in his bed, contorted in what seemed like a spasm of pain.
What startled her even more was the sight of numerous fine red lines adorning his arms, neck, and even his face. novelbin
It was precisely the wug pest acting up.
Violet's complexion turned icy cold. Her previously harmless demeanor vanished completely, replaced by a
murderous intent that surfaced in her eyes.
She shouted loudly to her subordinates hidden in the shadows, “Tie him up!”
Soon, she informed the two elders of the outcome and also got in touch with Chad.
At this moment, in the hall, Charles was tightly bound.
The two elders sat on their seats, their faces unpleasant.
Previously, they had speculated about who could be Avery's murderer.
Everyone had their suspicions, yet no one doubted the butler, who was always close at hand.
After all, Charles had been taking care of Avery since he was young.
In the past, he even served Avery's parents, so it could be said that he was the most trusted person on Avery's side.
Usually, he would take care of everything and put in his best efforts.
Who would have thought, the least likely person was actually the one who harmed Avery?
Ronald was the first to become restless. With a swift motion, he stood up and pointed at Charles, questioning himsternly, “The Cox family has treated you well, and Mr. Cox trusts you so much. Why would you do this?”
Unexpectedly, the typically sincere and forthright Charles underwent a dramatic transformation in his demeanor,flashing a malevolent grin. “If you dare, go ahead and kill me. Otherwise, don't even entertain the notion of
extracting any information from me. Haha...”
He was fearless and reckless, relying on the fact that he had a mother wug within him.
Ronald, livid with rage, went up and gave him a kick.
“You heartless beast. The late Mr. Cox saved your life back then. How could you repay his kindness withbetrayal? Are you even human?”
Charles still had that smug, wild look about him and was completely indifferent.
Chad remained steadfast in his original stance. He gazed down at Charles from an elevated position, exuding anintimidating presence.
“Did you have anything to do with the death of Avery's parents?”
Charles grinned. “You're so smart, so take a guess!”
He was completely unafraid, which was frustrating to those present.
The two elders could no longer tolerate the situation. They summoned their bodyguards and issued loud orders,“Beat him severely. Do not cease until he is prepared to confess!”
Hearing that, the bodyguards immediately started throwing punches and kicks at Charles.
Charles was writhing in pain on the ground as blood trickled down from the corners of his mouth.
Alas, his mouth was stubbornly sealed. He refused to utter a single word.
In the end, it was Violet who stopped it.
Her beautiful eyes had turned red. She wished she could take him down with her own hands.
However, she still remembered Neera's admonition.
“Ms. Garcia said that the mother wug is in his body, so we can't take his life.”
Upon hearing this, the two elders had no choice but to hold back their anger. They barked, “Lock him up! Keep aclose eye on him! We won't tolerate any mistakes!”
And so, Charles was swiftly taken away.
The two elders were still seething with anger, pacing back and forth in the living room with their hands behindtheir backs.
Something occurred to Ronald as he asked hesitantly, “Should I inform Mr. Cox about this matter?”
Chad maintained a relative calm compared to the others as he said, “He has the right to be informed of all thedetails. Besides, this issue cannot remain concealed.”
The elderly butler took care of Avery's daily meals and living arrangements every day.
Usually, it was Charles who would help Avery clean his body.
The two elders agreed and then proceeded to the underground medical room.
At this moment, Avery had already awakened.
Seeing them come in, he asked in a soft voice, “Do you have the investigation results?”
Upon hearing this, the two elders exchanged a glance, unsure of how to begin.
It was still Chad who spoke up and revealed the truth.
“Neera's medicine was effective. The mother wug inside your butler's body has been awakened, and he iscurrently confined,” Chad explained. “I inquired about the circumstances surrounding your parents' demise.While he didn't admit to any wrongdoing, I have a strong suspicion that he's somehow connected to it.”
Avery's already pallid complexion grew even more ghastly, particularly upon learning that Charles might belinked to the cause of his parents' death.
He couldn't contain his surge of emotions. Yanking the needle from the back of his hand, he furiously tried to getout of bed and accidentally jostled the wound on his chest.
The wound suddenly split open, causing him such intense pain that his vision went dark.
They hurriedly stepped forward to intervene.
Chad advised, “Avery, your utmost concern at this moment should be your recuperation from your injuries.Charles is already locked up, and there are men monitoring him. He cannot escape, and neither can he meet hisdemise. Once you have regained your health, we can contemplate the appropriate course of action. There's still
time.”
Violet also joined in the persuasion.
“Satan, make sure you rest well tonight and conserve your energy. We need to have Ms. Garcia over tomorrowmorning to discuss your wug removal. If Ms. Garcia sees your health deteriorating, she will definitely be upset!”
Gritting his teeth, Avery took a deep breath and forced himself to calm down.
Seeing this, Chad gave the chief doctor a look. The latter immediately stepped forward to help Avery re-dress hiswound.
