Kelsey looked at him in horror, and she missed the old Enrico. Back then, he would sit quietly next to her at a glance from Paige.
But now…
Kelsey was so scared that her breathing trembled. Then she looked at Enrico sitting there reading a book while casually saying, “Take the body to the Folsom family’s doorstep.”
Sending a little girl to kill him.
How ridiculous.
Kelsey almost fainted, her legs were so weak she could hardly stand.
Her fat and powerful subordinate rubbed his hands together and laughed wickedly, “Well, Master JT, since that person is going to be killed, why don’t we… let us brothers have some fun first?”
“Don’t even think about it!”
Kelsey shouted in anger, only to be met with a hard slap and a kick. She was kicked so hard that she fell to her knees, sweating from the pain.
“Speechless, all this nonsense from someone who’s about to die!”
The subordinate spat, then turned to Enrico with a flattering smile, “Master JT, what do you think…”
Enrico turned his head and looked at him with a smile, “Want to have fun?”
“I’m not thinking about wasting it. The girl is so pretty, so… why don’t you go first?”
The subordinate laughed along.
Enrico laughed even deeper, slowly setting down the book in his hands, “If you can’t even control your lower body, then just don’t, how about it?”
The smile on the subordinate’s face instantly froze, and he looked at Enrico blankly.
Enrico’s lips were curled, and it was impossible to tell if he was joking or being serious.
The subordinate suddenly thought that after following Master JT for so long, the people around him often went to those vulgar places. Occasionally, a few of them, unable to control themselves, went after women, and soon disappeared without a trace.
Could it be that this is something Master JT doesn’t approve of?
Staring at Enrico’s smile, his face gradually turned pale, his eyes filled with fear, and he knelt to the ground with a single bend of the knees. “Master JT, I was wrong.”
Enrico smiled and looked at the other subordinates, “What are you still doing here? Get back to work.”
“Yes.” The subordinates escorted the one who had just made a mistake and Kelsey out of the room.
Enrico was about to pick up his book again when the subordinates’ voices came from outside again, “Master JT, Landon, the fourth young master of the Folsom family, is outside calling at the door.”
Enrico’s expression hardened, “How many people are with him?”
“There are only five people, including himself, and there are no ambushes outside.”
Enrico flipped the book in his hands onto the table and stood up with a gloomy face and walked out.
One after the other, they rush here to die, do they look down on him?
…
“Bang…”
With a loud noise, the two doors were slammed shut, and the hall fell into a dim light, with the fire in the fireplace burning brightly.
Enrico sat on the throne with a stern face, coldly looking at Nick, who was pretending to be grandiose as he walked up.
“What are you doing here?”
Kelsey was kneeling on the floor, held captive, and couldn’t believe her eyes as Nick walked towards her step by step. Her eyes were red and her voice was shaking.
There were men standing on both sides of the carpet, pointing guns at Nick and the others.
When they had entered, they had been disarmed and not even a cloth had been left.
“What are you doing here? Are you looking for death?”
She dared to touch a murderer like JT.
Nick stopped and whispered to rebuke her, his gaze falling on her swollen face and wrinkled clothes. His tone changed, “They hit you?”
The little maid was precious like a princess all day long, picky about what she ate, and would cry if she got a cut on her hand. How could she not be left with a shadow after being beaten?
In this oppressive environment, Kelsey heard Nick’s concern, and a huge sense of grievance immediately welled up in her. Her nose became sore, and tears flowed down her face.
She looked at the four people behind him and choked, “You’ve become stupid after becoming my ancestor, what’s the point of bringing just four people?”
Are these people not enough?
Nick’s face darkened, and he ground his teeth as he said, “You’re heartless, and I’m still trying to save you?”
There was nothing he could do. He had waited for a long time, but the backup never came, so he had to go in alone.
She actually called him stupid.
“Are you two done flirting?” Enrico asked impatiently from his seat.
Nick looked up. The man at the bottom of the stained glass window gave off an air of menace. Looking around at the guns trained on him, he took a breath and said with a forced calm, “JT, my brother is on his way here with men, but it won’t be long before your place is surrounded.”
“Really?” Enrico said indifferently.
“You won’t get away with this,” Nick said, putting his hands behind his back and sticking out his neck. ‘So, I’ve come to give you a way to survive. Take us as hostages and trade us to my brother for your own survival.’
Enrico looked down at him condescendingly. After he had finished speaking, he laughed angrily. He had thought that the fourth son of the Folsom family had some good ideas, but this was the result?
Enrico took a cigarette and casually waved his hand, signaling his men to do it. He didn’t even bother listening, and said casually, “Cut Landon into a few more pieces and send them to Leonard, so he won’t think my gift is not big enough.”
He was annoyed with Leonard.
After saying that, he bit the cigarette in his mouth, took out a match, pushed the matchbox with one hand, and a thin match popped out.
The series of actions were done very habitually.
Upon receiving instructions, two subordinates stepped forward and kicked Nick in the crotch. Nick immediately fell to his knees, with a cold muzzle pressed against the back of his head.
His face turned white, and he yelled, “My brother is really surrounding the place! You can’t escape without me as a hostage! You can’t kill me! You can’t kill me!”
By the end, he was incoherent.
Kelsey knelt down next to him, looking at Nick with fear and worry.
No.
No…
His men looked at Enrico, who didn’t even bat an eye as he deftly struck a match with his long fingers.
Seeing this, his men understood, loaded their guns and prepared to pull the trigger.
“No, brother-in-law!”
Kelsey shouted, desperately struggling to free herself from the men holding her and throwing herself on Nick, knocking the man who was about to shoot away.
The subordinate who was holding the gun was unexpectedly knocked aside, and the bullet sank into the ground.
Enrico’s hand trembled at the sound of the scream, and the fire missed, not even lighting the cigarette.
He looked up, his gaze cold and gloomy.
Kelsey, with a white face, embraced Nick from the side, looked up at Enrico, and shouted, “Brother-in-law, you’ll kill us, and sister Paige will be sad! She’ll cry!”
She knew that the man in front of her was completely in JT’s mind, but she couldn’t help but mention Paige.
Besides, she couldn’t think of any other way.
Enrico suddenly lost his interest in smoking, removed the cigarette from his mouth, and his face was exceptionally cold. “What do I care if she’s sad or not? Do it.”
If someone sent someone to kill him, did he have to care if she was sad or not?
The subordinate reloaded again and spoke very loudly.
Nick was so scared that he closed his eyes. Kelsey was also so scared that she knelt down, hugged Nick tightly, buried her face in his shoulder, and shouted incoherently, “Brother-in-law, spare my life, brother-in-law, spare my life…”
Enrico’s heart was confused by the shouting.
