Chaos Girl Rewrites the Script novel Chapter 751

Preston's expression shifted. He was about to step forward when he noticed a group of people rushing down the stone path.

He paused, hesitating for a split second before fading back into the shadows of the courtyard.

To secure the area, Amadis had ordered his subordinates to capture the sniper in the tower while he personally went after the remaining assassin.

Gordo had been carrying the submachine gun, and Amadis chased him all the way to the pond in the inner courtyard before taking him out. By the time Amadis made it back, the Ravenshire men had already arrived.

Given his highly sensitive identity and the massive fallout from tonight's events, if he were caught at the scene, the old matriarch sitting on her throne would likely beat him until he was unrecognizable.

Weighing his options, Amadis chose to retreat.

But for some inexplicable reason, a heavy emptiness settled in his chest, as if something were holding him back.

Feeling oddly conflicted, Amadis glanced back at the young girl in the rain.

Strange. The storm had passed, so why did it still look like she had wings?

Eight hours later.

Northwing Court.

The maids and staff moved frantically through the inner courtyard. No one dared to breathe too loudly, handling their tasks in terrifying silence.

Inside the Conservatory, the room was packed. Caspian sat rigidly at the head of the room, his expression terrifyingly dark. The others stood with grim faces, heads bowed in silence.

"Kneel."

At the command, Alaric, Cyril, and Julian instantly stood up, only to drop heavily to their knees.

"Who came up with the idea for the northern resort?" Caspian demanded.

Alaric lowered his head. "I did."

Caspian nodded. "Cedric, go bring the memorial tablets of Sebastian and his wife."

Alaric's face went pale. He looked up. "Grandpa..."

Cedric looked pained, but in this atmosphere, speaking up was practically a death wish. He quickly left the room, returning moments later carrying the two wooden memorial tablets.

"Set them down."
