William stared into the distance. “If we don’t take action, they might go as far as erasing every single thing that stands as evidence of the crimes they have committed. Their social lives and their reputation are riding on this, so they are very desperate. More importantly, they might be erasing any living being who bears witness to their crimes.”A cold chill rushed down everyone’s back as they grasped what William was getting at. The Brown family had immense social power and influence with their media conglomerate. This meant that there was a lot at stake for them at the moment. If they end up going to jail and their crimes get delayed to the world, not only would it ruin the lives of Ayra and her parents, but the rest of The Brown family and even the Conglomerate at large will not survive the impact it will have on them. Therefore, it has gotten to the point of desperation for that family. If they truly wanted to survive, they had to make sure nothing or no one in the know about

It took a couple of seconds for Ayra to realize that this was because Mr. Brown was the great-grandson of the matriarch while Mrs. Brown was just the woman he married into the Brown family. While Mr. Brown had the right to speak during these kinds of meetings, Mrs. Brown was required to make her presence as insignificant as possible during this time. The meeting later came to an end and the screen was turned off. The next second, Mrs. Brown expressed intense fury as she grabbed her right high heel and threw it straight at the screen. “That ugly ball or warts that you have for a great-grandmother!” She roared with anger as she glared at Mr. Brown. “What is that disgusting bitch still doing alive?! She should be six feet underground at this point!” Mr. Brown gestured for his wife to calm down. “It doesn’t matter how furious you get. The verdict has been made unanimously. Even if you poison her and she died today, the rest of the family would uphold that decision.” He allowed a mome

Ayra wasn’t sure what her father meant at first until she saw the bodyguard who had received the instruction from her father nod his head before shifting the aim onto the young woman who was still bleeding. The bodyguard’s face was emotionless as he pulled the trigger. There was the sound of a gunshot that traveled through the air and the bleeding girl jerked before slumping to the ground.Ayra could no longer remain still, and she began shaking with her mouth wide open to take in sharp air. There was nothing but silence as those employees still calling at the Brown family for help suddenly stopped. They couldn’t dare utter another sound as they saw that the poor bleeding young woman had been killed. In the next, the mother of this dead young woman suddenly yelled out in agony as she held her daughter’s shoulder, begging her to wake up. Some of the employees were starting to cry as they knew this young woman. After all, they all worked and lived on this estate. “You killed my daug

“Exactly what I just said. I have never seen any of these three people in the mansion before.” Mrs. Brown stared straight into her husband’s eyes. Ayra was left stunned by her mother’s words. It was known among the family of three that Mrs. Brown was the most adept at recognizing the faces of those who worked in the mansion. As she is the woman of the house, she tends to keep track of everything and everyone moving about the mansion. Her retentive memory is her greatest strength and she rarely forgets faces. Therefore, if Mrs. Brown, of all people, is saying that she has never seen these three supposed housekeepers in the mansion, it could only mean that they had never appeared in the mansion before.Ayra was left disturbed in the wake of a realization hitting her. “Those six missing people. Their identities must have been stolen by the spies. The spies must have been pretending to be them.” She then shook her head. “But how did we not realize this sooner that these people didn’t m

Ayra was breathing hard when she saw the gory scene in front of her. She, along with her parents were still standing on the patio, but the scene in front of the mansion had changed. The air was filled with a mournful silence as the lively bodies of every single one of those employees had gone completely limp and unmoving. Heavily soaked in their own blood, it was very clear that they were all dead. The slight wisps of smoke coming out of the bodyguards' guns stood proof that the dead employees were all killed by gunfire.Ayra witnessed the brutality of it all and it left her knees shaking visibly. Her father had commanded his bodyguards all of a sudden. She really didn’t see it coming when her father gave the order to kill every single remaining on their knees. She was certain that since they had discovered those six spies were not among these employees, her father would be lenient. Yet, she watched with horrific eyes as those bodyguards ruthlessly pulled their trigger, unloading th
