Chapter 240: Perish Together with George
The people inside were still arguing fiercely.
"Ezekiel told us to raise these two kids. We're not short of two more children anyway, so let's just raise them."
The middle-aged woman swung her fist in a wide arc and smashed it toward Solon's face!
"Who knows if these are your kids from some affair? Look what you did to the Hughes family before! Now you're getting what you deserve! Who told you to team up with Anthony to kill the old leader of Blade of Dusk!"
"That was all Ezekiel and someone else. What does it have to do with me?"
The death of Blade of Dusk's old leader wasn't an accident?
Emilia held her breath!
Solon fought back, slapping her and grabbing the middle-aged woman's hair, slamming her head against the wall.
"If you say these things out loud, neither of us will survive. The Hughes family may be gone, but the Windsor family is still around!"
The two wrestled inside while Emilia heard the woman's terrible screams.
Ten minutes later, things quieted down inside.
Solon kicked Esme, who was lying nearby with black tape over her mouth, and lit a cigarette.
"How did this woman end up contacting you?"
The middle-aged woman sat on the ground, gasping for breath, her hair disheveled, rolling her eyes.
"Isn't she just the kid Lloyd had with my sister? She didn't dare let her husband know, so she kept the kid at the Windsor family. Now she's in prison and dumped the kid on me."
Esme's mouth was covered with tape, unable to say a word after hearing this.
What did they mean?
Her birth mother wasn't Ezekiel's wife, but Lucy, the nanny who contacted her every day?
But Lucy was just a nanny who hadn't even finished high school!
If Lila hadn't brought Lucy back to the Windsor family as a nanny, Lucy probably couldn't have found a decent job in the countryside.
That was her birth mother? Esme really didn't want to accept it!
Solon glanced at Esme.
"She does look like your sister. Thought she could be rich at the Windsor family, but turns out she's only got this much ability. Your sister went through all that trouble to steal the Windsor family's real daughter, all for nothing."
"You think the Windsor family is easy to deal with? Ezekiel sent people to kill Catherine, didn't that fail too? My sister tried so hard to poison the Windsor family, and nothing came of it either."
George and Emilia outside the door both widened their eyes!
Lucy actually tried to poison the Windsor family?
The middle-aged woman inside continued.
"Back then, I told Lila so many ways to torture Aurora, hoping at least one would leave Aurora and the Windsor family's children with some lasting damage. Who knew Lila would be so useless."
"What a waste. We even found so many women to seduce Brandon while Aurora was giving birth, and not one of them worked. Those women were all personally sent by Ezekiel and Anthony."
"The Hughes family and Ezekiel hoped to plant spies around Marcus, but none of that succeeded either."
Solon snorted coldly.
"If this Esme and her mother weren't so useless, the Windsor family should have ended up like the Hughes family. We sent Esme to the Windsor family and gave her so many Vitality Pills, and it was all for nothing."
Listening to this, Esme was about to break down!
Was what these two were saying true?
The Hughes family members were either dead or in prison, and their family assets had all been confiscated.
According to Solon, the Vitality Pills had been provided by Ezekiel all along?
Solon's tone held some regret. "Those things were supposed to be given to everyone in the Windsor family, but this Esme was useless."
The door was kicked open, and the man standing outside was full of hostility, his cold gun barrel pointed at Solon's head!
"Don't move. Move once, and you'll meet your maker."
"Who are you?"
Where did this person come from?
Had everything he just said been overheard?
At this thought, Solon's eyes filled with gloom.
Emilia poked her head out from behind George. "Long time no see. You told me to come find you, and you've already forgotten?"
"Emilia? What are you doing at the Howard family?"
George pulled the trigger. The silenced pistol's bullet cut through the air, shooting holes in both Solon's and the middle-aged woman's legs.
Everyone at the estate was busy dealing with explosions elsewhere, paying no attention to what was happening here.
The moment Esme saw George, she started squirming frantically, wanting George to take her away!
She didn't want to be the child of a bodyguard and a nanny here!
If she just talked nicely to George, he would surely soften and take her back to the Windsor family.
George stepped on Esme's outstretched hand without even looking at her.
"Go find what you need. I'll handle things here."
"Okay, be careful."
Emilia went straight into Solon's bedroom and started searching.
George needed to wait for Emilia to find things, so he wasn't in a hurry to leave. He turned around, found a stool to sit on, his slender fingers gripping a delicate surgical knife.
"I don't have much patience. I ask, you answer. Otherwise, when this knife goes in, I can't guarantee whether you'll be dead or alive."
Fires from explosions were everywhere in the estate. George's refined features were half-lit by firelight, half hidden in darkness, completely different from his usual gentle image.
George's chilling gaze swept over Solon.
"After all, with all this excitement at Ezekiel's place today, a few more deaths wouldn't be a big deal."
Solon grimaced in pain, his eyes full of fear as he looked at George!
"You're from the Windsor family? How did the Windsor family find this place? I don't know about those things, I don't know anything. Ezekiel made me do it all."
"You just said Ezekiel wanted everyone in the Windsor family to die?"
It sounded like the Hughes family and Ezekiel had prepared many methods long ago, just waiting for the Windsor family's downfall.
How could Solon dare to say anything!
If he'd known the Windsor family was eavesdropping outside, he wouldn't have dared speak even with a hundred times the courage.
"You heard wrong. I didn't say that. It's all fake."
As Solon spoke, he retreated backward, and when George wasn't paying attention, he pressed the alarm button behind him!
A piercing buzzing sound echoed through the estate, enough to attract everyone's attention.
Even Ezekiel, who was dealing with the aftermath, heard the sound!
He turned around warily, looking toward where the alarm was coming from.
"What's that noise? Something must have happened. Take people to check it out. Solon wouldn't press that thing randomly. Bring weapons, don't let even a mosquito fly out!"
"Yes!"
More than twenty bodyguards rushed toward the corner of the townhouses, all carrying weapons.
Emilia rushed out of the room holding a box, pulling George as she ran outside.
"George, let's go! He pressed the alarm. The Hughes family had one too, and it's bad news! If we leave too late, this whole building will explode!"
Emilia was very familiar with the things the Hughes family used to have.
Hearing that familiar alarm sound, Emilia was terrified!
To avoid revealing those things, Solon was willing to die together with George!
