Ryan was panting, enduring the excruciating pain all over his body and staring at Malcolm angrily. His teeth were rattling. He hated himself for not being able to kill him on the spot.
Malcolm looked at him condescendingly, which was extremely cold.
After fighting for a lifetime, when he was getting old, he had to suffer this kind of torments, be criticized by his family, and be removed his and his son's names from the family tree. All of these punishments were driving Ryan to his death.
But Malcolm was going to shatter all the dignity he had had built in the White family for many years, and let him pay the heaviest price for his past mistakes.
The meeting made everyone present feel uncomfortable.
Ryan was put a seal on his mouth because Chad thought he was making a lot of noise, and a bunch of dying abuse could only get stuck in his throat, accusing Malcolm silently with his eyes.
At the end of the meeting, the room was filled with the bloody smell from Ryan's execution of whipping.
Many people paled and didn't look well.
Malcolm instructed Chad to take Ryan and send him back to NIB's cell to treat the wounds on his back.
The protagonist who was beaten had left, and the clansmen can also leave.
Many people ran very fast to get out of the room.
For such a disposition of the Ryan family, in fact, it was enough to call a few seniors who enjoyed high prestige, but Malcolm called everyone in to watch the brutal execution before the expulsion.
Obviously, he just punished Ryan as a warning to others that they should not go beyond their bounds in the future. If anyone dared to be like the Ryan family, who always made troubles, they could wait to be punished.
Everyone was smart and could think of the real purpose of Malcolm's holding this meeting, especially Armstrong and Toby, who just tried to help the Ryan family. They were scared to death and immediately got out of the room.
But as soon as the two elders walked to the door of the room, they were stopped by the White family's bodyguards.
"Mr. Armstrong, Mr. Toby, please leave later. Mr. Malcolm has a few words to speak to you two alone."
The two looked at each other and their faces froze at the same time.
In the room, the servants had already cleaned the ground after the execution of the family law. Lyra was helping Sylvia out when she happened to see Armstrong and Toby's terrified expressions.
But Lyra didn't say anything but led Sylvia and passed by the two elders.
After backing from the bureau, Albert became seriously ill.
Sylvia was unwell after attending the family meeting to denounce Ryan and Travis, and Lyra had to send her home in person.
Along the way, Sylvia's expression still looked uncomfortable, like she was holding back something.
Lyra didn't ask.
The two walked silently all the way to Albert's house. When they were near the door, Sylvia grabbed Lyra's wrist and her palms sweating from nervousness.
"What's wrong?" Lyra asked.
Sylvia's eyes were red, and her voice trembled unbearably, "Lyra, my dad... really participated in killing Malcolm's parents?"
Lyra lowered her eyes.
She couldn't make a conclusion on this matter.
Seeing her hesitating, Sylvia's eyes were darkened, "I know Malcolm took my dad from Lenbirge to the bureau a few days ago, and sent police officers to the gate of the villa to monitor him and prevent him from going out."
Sylvia spoke, with tears coming down, "Did my dad really have something to do with these things? Malcolm disposed of Ryan, and then... is it my family's turn?"
" Lyra ...I'm so scared."
Lyra took out a piece of tissue from the bag, wiped away her tears herself, and comforted her gently.
