Andre quickly pulled his girlfriend into a warm, and hopefully consoling, hug while his face couldn’t get rid of the horror.“Goodness!” Camilla whispered out, shock written all over her face by expression. Despite this though, she was less reactive towards the sudden brutality when compared to Andre and Tracy. This is because The Parker family is full of people who would do the worst things to their blood relatives just to get ahead. The Parker family could be akin to a breeding ground for treachery and betrayal in various forms. Camilla grew up witnessing many bloody situations in her family, so she was less reactive towards this scene. Still, she had to admit that she didn’t expect Mr. Brown to suddenly kill his own wife, and right in front of Ayra at that.Not even William could hold his reaction. A deep frown was etched on his forehead as he stared at the scene. He suddenly glanced at the McArthur bodyguards still in a tight formation around him and his friends. “Prepare to ta
William’s eyes conveyed no emotion as he turned his head around to find that Mr. Brown was now lying unconscious. From his anger, he could see some of the bloody holes in him. The man’s eyes were also closed, making it quite clear that he was dead.Abigail’s eyes were even colder as her eyes were sharply gazing at the fallen man’s body. This man was going to shoot her young master, so there was no way she would extend any merciful intentions. “Go!” She sharply gave this command without looking at anyone in particular.“Yes, Head!” The two McArthur bodyguards who were at the end of the protective formation around William and his friends rushed over to check on Mr. Brown.Meanwhile, William finally moved his body out of the way before looking at Camilla with utter concern. “Are you alright?”Camilla stared at William with shock instead. “Are you kidding me?! I should be asking you that! You just freaking jumped in front of me like that! What if that shot had…”William immediately
That afternoon, William went home with his three friends as soon as they finished making the reports at the police station. As for the corpses of Mr. Brown, Mrs. Brown, as well as the unconscious Ayra Brown, they were all now in police custody.After arriving at the William estate, the group of four university students went to take a well-deserved shower before having a late breakfast. After this, Camilla was the first to leave. Apart from being a student, she was also the charity chief and she needed to check on her organization. Andre and Tracy took this cue as well and they also left the William estate. William instructed Abigail to assign two bodyguards each to secure the safety of Andre and Tracy. They had just triumphed over a great ordeal, and William felt like he couldn’t be too cautious right now. As for Camilla, William was quite sure that once she got back to her family, her parents would ensure her utmost safety. After all, Camilla is still the heir of the Parker’s busin
William had been very happy at the reward he got from his grandfather. But it was then that he received a notification alert on his phone. He looked down at the screen to find that this was a message from an unknown number. He opened the chat app with a frown to find that this message contained a brief text and a voice note. The text read:[William Chain, this is Ayra’s father. If you’re getting this message, there’s a high chance that it means I’m dead, and neither my wife nor daughter made it out of Bel Air City. Sad. Please, for the sake of the love you once had for my daughter, listen to the VN.]William frowned at this. He could see this message truly just came in. Yet, Mr. Brown was dead. William then suddenly remembered that Mr. Brown had stared at him with an ominous expression and a coded message in his eyes. William wasn’t sure if he was seeing things right back then, but with his retentive memory, he was able to vividly recall the moment, and the more he thought about it
Ayra Brown was in a lot of emotional turmoil ever since she regained consciousness, only to find out that there were police officers guarding the ward where she had been lightly treated. It was then that she recalled everything and she began screaming for her mother.“Mom! Where’s my Mom?!” Ayra had struggled against the hold of the nearby nurses when she began acting out of control.“Miss Ayra Brown, your mother is no longer with us.” A female doctor spoke with great concern as she stared at the young woman. “She was already dead long before she was brought to the hospital.” The female doctor saw how Ayra froze on the spot while staring at her stiffly, with tears running down her face. A masculine voice suddenly spoke from the distance. “Unfortunately, that’s not all. Your father was killed in self-defense not long after he shot your mother.”Ayra jerked her head to the side to find that it was the head of police officers speaking as he walked towards him. Behind him are two fe
Ayra was sobbing heavily as she had the air pods in her ears, listening to the voice note that her father had sent to William. William, on the other hand, kept his expression as minimalistic as possible as she stared at Ayra.After a while, Ayra removed the earpiece while drying up her tears. Her gaze dropped on the table and she folded her hands over the furniture. She snuggled, as she tried to calm herself in the moment of silence enveloping the private room before she spoke. “So what are you gonna do to me?” She asked with a hopeless tone in her voice, conveying a dispirited consciousness.Mr. Brown had begged William to let her daughter while providing all the pieces of evidence that would be needed to pin all of the crimes against him, and thus, absorbing Ayra of any of the capital punishments when this case reaches the court. It had to be noted that despite the recorded evidence that Mr. Brown had taken the blame for all the crimes committed, this could still very well prove
Ayra’s face held regret as she was reminded of the horrible things she did. “William, I would like to be honest with you.” Though this statement was made as that, a statement, but it was actually her asking for permission. She finally gazed up at William’s handsome to find the young man looking back at her with teary eyes as well. She took his silence as approval to her request. “I never hated you, William. When you started at BAU, I knew that I was insanely attracted to you. That was the reason why I asked you out as soon as I found out that you had a huge crush on me.” She sighed. “But I grew up telling myself that a good-looking man with no wealth, power, and high status in society is nothing but a good-looking man doomed to bring nothing but a life of suffering to the people around him. You can blame my mother for that belief.” She giggled weakly at herself. “When Donald found out that I was secretly dating you, he began approaching me with a clearly stated interest. He wanted me
William watched with calm eyes. His earlier emotional state was gone, and he just stared at Ayra with a hardly discernible expression.“That won’t happen.” William finally spoke as he sat up straight in his seat. “Ayra, listen to me very carefully. I am willing to accept your father’s plea, and simply submit his recorded confession to the head of police officer. Once that’s done, he will be the one publicly known to the world as the sole culprit of everything.”Ayra was shocked when she heard this. She wanted to ask if William was just messing with her but she saw that somewhat familiar look on William’s face. It was an expression that conveyed that William was very serious. This Ayra swallowed her question.William was not done though. “In exchange for this, I want you to not only leave Bel Air city but also leave the Northern American Continent. For the next fifteen years, I never want to see you step a foot back here.”Ayra froze when she heard this. “W…What?! William, what ar
