“I’m so scared! It was really scary!” William exclaimed after Silas was taken away to treat his injuries. He sat on the sofa in the living room with a look of shock on his face, “If that guy hadn’t saved me just now, I’d be dead now!”
Deborah hugged him to comfort him while he acted like an airhead to the best of his abilities.
Seeing the pitiful look on Deborah’s face as she held William in her arms, Veronica poured off the cup of tea to comfort him. Callum looked at William and asked while frowning, “How old are you, boy? Why are you so cowardly? How will you survive in the future?”
“Whatever I do, my life matters the most! Grandma, this is too scary! Am I going to have to stay at home and not go anywhere? Will I die if i go out?”
“Look at you! This is not how a man should be!” Callum frowned even harder.
“Grandma, uncle doesn’t like me. He’s even glaring at me. He’s so terrifying!” William held on to Deborah as if he was scared out of his wits.
Seeing his expression, Deborah’s heart ached even more for him. She turned to glare at Callum, “What’s wrong with you? This child has never experienced anything like this, so it’s normal for him to be scared out of his wits. Can’t you talk nicely?”
“Child? How old is he? What’s the matter with the Howard family, huh? What did they teach him when he was growing up? It would be bad if this continues. In the future, he should follow me to work in the company, I guarantee that he’ll be better after I train him for three months.”
“Grandma, uncle doesn’t like me and I don’t want anyone to train me. I don’t wanna stay here anymore, I wanna go back!”
“My poor grandson!” She held him and said, “Don’t mind him. Your uncle is tough on the outside but soft on the inside. Come upstairs with me to rest for a while.”
She then ordered the servant, “Cook some bird’s nest for William to calm his nerves!”
Veronica immediately said, “I’ll do it. Mom, bring him up to have a rest then.”
Seeing them going up, Callum shook his head and said, “My goodness! What kind of upbringing did he have to grow up to be so useless?”
Seeing that Fandrey was silent, Callum looked at him and asked, “Dad, why don’t you say something? Do you want to see him stay like this in the future?”
“What can I do? He’s already grown up, so it’s useless to teach him. It’s up to him. It’s fine if he stays the same too as he can just continue to live a peaceful life as it is.”
Callum disapproved of his words, “Is he safe now? He’s being hunted down no matter where he is, and he has no ability to stand up for himself at all. What can he do in the future if he doesn’t have any abilities? Who can protect him for a lifetime? Imagine when we’re not by his side, who will protect him then?”
“That’s it! Stop talking!” Fandrey got up and went to the study room. He walked to the door and said, “When Silas is done bandaging his wounds, ask him to come to the study room to meet me. Oh, and ask the bodyguard who was in charge of everything today to come and see me too.”
The person in charge immediately came to the study room and greeted him respectfully.
Fandrey asked lightly, “What happened tonight?”
“Everything was normal when we went to the club. Later, William went to the bathroom, and I arranged someone to accompany him. After he was done, he said he wanted to go out for some air since it was stuffy indoors, and that’s where the ambush happened,” The person in charge gasped for breath. “The ambushers planned it well. First, they cut off the electricity in the corridor and took advantage of the darkness. Fortunately, our bodyguards are well-trained. Otherwise, the consequences would be unimaginable!”
“Well-trained?” Fandrey snorted coldly. “In the end, William wasn’t brought back under your protection. If it weren’t for Silas, you should be very clear about what he would be like now, right?”
“I…” The person in charge of the bodyguards was speechless.
Fandrey stared at him coldly, “Do you know the identity of the ambushers now?”
“We’ve investigated the men who are injured. They’re from our region, and they’re definitely paid to do this.”
“Now that you know who they were, it’s easy for us to come up with arrangements then. How dare they mess with the Floyd family!” There was a dark look on his face as he continued, “Immediately arrange for some men to raid their hideout!”
The person in charge of the bodyguards immediately left. Fandrey walked around the study a few times, and his expression was getting more and more serious.
Natasya was completely naked on the dance floor, and she didn’t come to her senses until she was splashed with water.
Oh my god! What had she done?
She wrapped herself with her clothes and got into the car. She felt like dying at this point. On the other hand, Angel did not know that something had happened to William, and she thought that he had gotten mad because of Natasya’s indecent actions.
She looked at her mockingly, “Tell me, what’s wrong with you? Did you take drugs or something? How could you do such a thing? My cousin has already left in anger!”
Natasya lowered her head and shed some tears as she was really sad. Her ladylike image was broken, and her nude body was seen by so many foreigners. She felt extremely ashamed of herself.
The most important thing was how William would think of her now. He would definitely be very disgusted with her, right?
For a second, Natasya had the urge to murder Angel and skin her alive.
However, she pinched the palms of her hands to force herself to suppress the monstrous anger in her heart.
Natasya would most definitely get back at her!
Back at the Floyd family’s mansion, Veronica was shocked to see the state Natasya was in. Angel loudly told her about what had happened at the club without stopping even when Veronica tried to interrupt her a few times.
After Angel finished speaking, she asked Veronica, “Where is William? Is he being angry upstairs?”
“Your cousin was ambushed. He is super frightened, so your grandma is comforting him.”
“Ambush? Who did it? Seriously now?” Angel scolded angrily, “I’ll go up and see him!”
“Enough, your cousin is in a bad mood now. Don’t disturb him,” Veronica stopped her and looked at Natasya with a kind look, “Miss Anderson is also tired. Go upstairs and have a good rest. I’ll ask someone to cook some supper for you and send them your way.”
When Angel saw Veronica being so nice to Natasya, she snorted and went back to her room.
Fandrey waited in the study room for a while, and Silas was brought in by the butler after his wounds were bandaged.
With a friendly tone, Fandrey asked him a few questions, but Silas acted as if he had never seen the world and was trembling in fear.
Seeing his unsightly look, Fandrey frowned and motioned for the butler to take him away.
He suspected that it was not so simple for Silas to save William, but he couldn’t see what was wrong with him.
Was it really just a coincidence?
As Fandrey thought about it, the person in charge of the bodyguards who was sent to get revenge for William returned. Hurriedly, he reported as he entered the study room, “Mr. Floyd, we were a little late. Their hideout has already been raided.”
