"On my territory, it's not your Anderson family's turn to act recklessly!"
Lady Laurence looked calmly at Nicholas. "Nicholas, what's the hurry? Miss Shaw is as good as dead. You won't be able to escape either!"
Nicholas was furious that a junior member of his family would threaten him in public. "The Anderson family handles its own affairs, and you shouldn't be on Soo family territory. Mrs. Anderson, you can take Miss Shaw and leave!"
Lady Laurence sneered but said nothing.
Nicholas was about to order someone to "escort" Lady Laurence out when a chilling voice suddenly came from behind him. "You hurt the Turner family's daughter and think you can wash your hands of it, Nicholas? You must be delusional!"
At the sound of the familiar voice, Nicholas was shocked.
The others turned to look, and then gasped in surprise. The Turners had arrived!
Patrick, with Oscar in tow, came in escorted by a group of soldiers.
Patrick's face was so cold it was frightening. "Nicholas, I think you're really asking for death!"
Twenty years ago, this old man had stabbed the Turner family in the back. And now, he had used such despicable means to harm their daughter. It was truly beyond reproach.
Nicholas looked at Lady Laurence behind him, then at Oscar in front of him, and a terrible feeling suddenly rose in his heart. "Oscar!"
Oscar, whose eyes were usually calm, showed a hint of anger. "It's time for the Turner family and the Soo family to settle the accounts!"
Lady Laurence, watching Nicholas' face turn pale, suddenly remembered something. If Selena was injured and coughing up blood, why wasn't Leia with her? She looked around but didn't see the girl.
Lady Laurence's heart sank. "Go find her!"
...
At the same time, Freddie hurried out of the Shaw family's residence.
Since the Shaw family had fallen out of the ranks of the four major families, they had been constantly suppressed. Freddie had ordered all members of the family to keep a low profile and not go out unless necessary.
But Vivian had sneaked out behind his back and caused such a big mess.
Freddie knew Osvaldo's nature better than anyone else, so his steps were particularly hasty and fast. Just as he was about to step on the gas, a cold and indifferent voice suddenly entered his ears, "If I were you, I would choose to stay far away and pretend I didn't know about this."
Freddie turned around abruptly and stared at Cassius in the back seat. Cassius was smoking and met Freddie's gaze with a smile. "I advise you not to go," he said.
"If you go now, not only will you not be able to save your stupid sister, but the Shaw family will also have to die with her," Cassius continued.
Freddie's fingers trembled slightly.
"I bet that boy regrets it now, not pulling out the Shaw family roots earlier," Cassius sneered.
"Women are truly disgusting yet surprising creatures," he added.
Freddie's voice was dry. "... Does everyone combined in his heart not compare to that woman?"
Cassius smiled playfully and confirmed his question, "Yes, you guys don't compare."
Freddie felt a chill run down his spine. No one knew the Anderson family men better than Cassius. He said that if Osvaldo wouldn't spare Vivian, then Vivian wouldn't be able to escape.
Staring at the dark night ahead, Freddie was silent for a long time before suddenly asking, "If I give you 'Sacred Pearl', can you save her?"
With a click, Cassius opened a lighter. The azure flame illuminated his handsome face with a gentle light, but his words were cold, "No."
"She's not worth it." Vivian's greatest value had been fully utilized through this incident. A love-struck fool who was vain and selfish, who couldn't see the situation clearly... she was nothing but a burden. Naturally, she wasn't worth the effort to save.
Especially since he had just saved Penelope and already aroused suspicion.
Freddie's face turned grey suddenly. He stood in the cold night wind for a long time, his voice hoarse as he said, "It's pitiful to fall in love with the Anderson family men but not be liked by you..."
