Lord Protector novel (Zeke Williams) novel Chapter 357

Chapter 357

Everyone was puzzled at their appearance. Today was the day the Hinton family paid their respects to their ancestors; what was an exhumation team doing here?

Whose grave was about to be moved?

The team leader came to a stop before Aaron. “Mr. Hinton, which grave are we relocating?”

Aaron pointed at Daniel’s mother’s plot, saying, “That one.”

“Okay.” The team then made their way over to the solitary grave.

In an instant, Daniel felt his mind go blank.

They were here for his mother!

His mother had suffered so much when she was alive. Her biggest wish in life had been to be buried in Hinton Hallow after she died. She only wanted to be accepted by the family.

After her death, Daniel had fought tooth and nail for her right to be interred here. Thankfully, he had succeeded in the end.

Yet now, so many years later, his mother’s rest was going to be disturbed.

There was no way he could be so unfilial as to allow that!

He quickly blocked the men from approaching and shouted, “Stop! Uncle, what right do you have to move my mother’s grave? You should at least have a valid reason!”

Aaron sneered in reply, “You want a reason? I’ll give you one!”

With that, he turned to look at Adam.

The two of them were clearly in cahoots with each other as Adam hurriedly offered, “While she lived, your mother carried herself improperly. Not only did she steal from the Hinton family, but she also seduced other men. In fact, I wonder if you’re really even my son.”

There was a susurration of murmurs as the rest of the family began to gossip amongst themselves.

“Hmph, I always said that woman was no good! She obviously knew Adam was married, yet she still deliberately seduced him!”

“Even after they got married, she was always out of the house and stayed out all night. Who knew what kind of indecent things she was up to!”

“Having a woman like her buried in the same cemetery as our ancestors is like spitting on their graves. Disgraceful!”

“She doesn’t deserve to be buried here!”

Daniel almost exploded with fury at their words. As it were, his eyes were bloodshot with his repressed emotions.

“Dad, how could you say that about Mum? All those years ago, she refused to marry you, so you used the Hinton family’s power to force her to comply. After she married you, she did her best to be the best wife and mother she could be. No matter how much the family picked on her, she always held back her temper because she was worried about making things harder for you!

“When you were exiled from the Hinton family, she was the one who took up the responsibility of taking care of us. She found a job so she could earn money for us! If it had not been for her, you and I would have both starved to death long ago! She died way too young because her body could not take the strain she was putting on it, strain that came from overwork.Now that she

’s dead, you’re still unwilling to let her rest in peace?! Don’t you have a conscience?!”

Adam was furious. “You little ba****d! Who are you to lecture me!” Turning to the exhumation team, he ordered, “Hurry up and dig up that grave! Every second I look at it makes me feel more disgusted.”

Once more, Daniel stopped the men from coming closer as he roared, “You want to touch my mother’s grave? Over my dead body!”

Hannah had tears streaming down her face as she stood resolutely beside her husband.

This was the first time she had seen him explode like this. It showed how much this issue bothered him that her normally soft-spoken and gentle husband would be pushed to raise his voice.

Aaron snorted disdainfully and uttered, “How dare you kick up a fuss on my territory. Men, restrain them!”

Immediately, his four bodyguards charged towards Daniel, who shouted like a madman, “C’mon then, fight me!”

Unfortunately, he was not exactly in his prime. There was no way he was any match for the well-built bodyguards.

In next to no time at all, they easily subdued the man.
