My One-month Marriage With Mr. Hawkins novel Chapter 888

Ernest asked, “Open the door. Or do you want me to burn the corpse?”

All the guards at the gate shivered.

This man looked like Death himself. They didn't even have the guts to make a move.

After cowering in the corner for a long while, the guard in the lead plucked up all his courage and shouted, “We can’t let him humiliate Master Hayden! Come on. Take his dead body over!”

“Take Master Hayden’s body back here!"

The words encouraged the rest of the guards. Or probably, they took it as an order. All the shivering guards gathered again, ready to fight.

They knew clearly that they couldn’t retreat no matter how much they feared the man in front. They must protect the Harris family and its dignity, which was their duty.

Hence, following their leader, the group of bodyguards rushed to Ernest altogether.

Right then, only Timothy was standing next to Ernest together with a few bodyguards.

Florence was sitting in the car, peering out of the car window. She rubbed her fingers nervously.

Ernest didn’t bring many people here. The guards from the Harris family were so fierce. She wondered if he could deal with them.

After there, there were too many people from the other party. She was worried that he would get injured later.

Thinking that Stanford could fight against dozens of men that day, Florence wouldn’t be so worried if he were with Ernest now as he would definitely win against those people.

However...

Florence glanced at Stanford, who was still leaning on Phoebe’s shoulder and didn’t have a sign of waking up. She felt desperate.

She wondered how much Stanford had drunk last night. It seemed that he wouldn’t wake up until three days later.

Collin could tell what was in Florence’s mind, so he said in jest, “Flory, don’t worry. Ernest cannot be bullied by others.”

Florence cared about Ernest too much, so she was worried.

However, Collin was an onlooker, so he could clearly see that Ernest was also a good fighter like Stanford.

If those bodyguards dared to lay a finger on him, they must have dead wishes.

Although Florence knew it, her heart still jumped to her throat when she saw the vast group. She gazed at Ernest worriedly, afraid that he would get injured.

Then she saw Ernest sneer. He was fiddling with a sliver lighter with his slim fingers. The lighter spun in his hand, and the fire flickered.

His playful look made the guards even more tensed up.

The leader of the guards yelled aloud, “What do you want? Stop it! If you dare to burn Master Hayden's body, none of you can leave here alive!”

Ernest sneered in disdain.

The guards became more frightened.

The leader realized that there was a danger.

He reacted quickly and roared, “Hurry up! Try your best to take back the body!”

Ernest stared coldly at the bodyguards who were pouncing at him. Suddenly, he let the lighter fall.

The lighter fell on Hayden’s body under the guards’ horrified gazes.

Obviously, the dead body was soaked in the gasoline before. As soon as the fire touched the body, it was burning fiercely.

The fire burned in an instant.

The guards who rushed to the front were caught in the fire as well.

They took steps back hurriedly. The rest of the guards stiffened, gazing at the burning body, overwhelmed by the despair.

The man was way too ruthless.

How dare he burn the dead body at their gate?

They had never seen such an arrogant man. They ultimately had no idea what to react.

“What’s going on?”

Right then, they heard a man’s anxious voice.
