“Who dared to make such a disgraceful outrage?”
Pow!
Madam Hughes was furious, the beads in her hands fell violently on the ground and scattered all over the place.
She stood up tremblingly.
A ferocious look appeared on her old face.
Compared with Kill Declaration, the sudden entry of Killian Hughes was insignificant.
“The Kill Declaration? Where is the Kill Declaration?”
“The servant sent it to the Master,” Killian said.
Madam Hughes moved for a while, and reacted, “Yes, such a serious felony against our Hughes Family should be punished personally by the Master!”
“Killian, go to George first and gather the guards to protect him.”
Madam Hughes calmed down quickly and, looked like a general who was commanding an army during a battle, said sharply, “Even the Long Thriving Noble Family wouldn’t dare to touch the Hughes Family. I really want to know who is that brave person who dared to do this act of defiance!”
Immediately after Killian left, Carter Hughes reached Madam Hughes’ yard.
Seeing Madam Hughes, Carter hurriedly tried to speak.
But she made a solemn expression and said in a deep voice, “Shut up, come with me in the bedroom.”
After the mother and son entered the bedroom, the sullen look on Madam Hughes’ face completely disappeared and was replaced by a sneer.
“Mom, how can you still laugh after all that happened to our family?”
Carter looked puzzled.
Even if the relations between Hughes family’s factions were complex, they were always connected with each other but they somehow competed with each other under the table.
But when it came to something external to the family, it had always been one-sided.
Now the whole Hughes Family was destabilized by a ‘Kill Declaration’.
How could she still laugh?
“Now it seems that it was really unnecessary to make explanations in front of the Master before.”
Madam Hughes quietly sat erect on an old-fashioned wooden chair, with a wise and proud expression, “After all, I overestimated that bastard.”
“What?!”
Carter suddenly woke up to reality, “Mom, do you mean that the ‘Kill Declaration’ was sent to our family by that bastard of Jack?”
“Who else, otherwise?”
Madam Hughes raised her eyebrows and smiled,” Even if the Hughes Family is far from being powerful as the Long Thriving Noble Family, we are not too much different from them. Even the Long Thriving Noble Family wouldn’t dare to do that, who else other than that blood-thirsty bastard could have done it?”
“Moreover, the ‘Kill Declaration’ was directed at that good-for-nothing of George.”
Carter muttered to himself for a few seconds, and finally figured out why Madam Hughes was laughing.
He cupped his fist in the other hand to Madam Hughes in sign of respect, “Mom, you are really too wise! That bastard Jack is arrogant and selfish, if he puts up with this, the Master will slowly try to find out the truth, not to mention that good-for-nothing of George, even we will all be involved.”
In that case, he would not utter even the slightest word.
If they weren’t worried that the truth would come out, Madam Hughes would not take him to Patrick Hughes immediately and make a turmoil.
The previous turmoil was just an attempt to clean up the mess and put that matter out.
But now….
Carter also laughed, “Because of Jack’s usual arrogance, with that ‘Kill Declaration’, he changed the whole game and turned against himself. Let’s see how he will die!”
“Of course it will be a bad death!”
Madam Hughes smiled triumphantly, “The reputation of the Hughes Family can not be touched and its dignity won’t be shaken, that bastard, he sent that ‘Kill Declaration’ to the Hughes Family to kill George, such acts of disobedience are too shocking, even Patrick would not be able to protect him!”
“Before all these, Patrick forcibly protected him, even he acted like hooligan! He also raised him as a fearless bastard, he thought everyone would have been suppressed by his domineering personality. This time, he will see how a real punishment looks like. He defied our Family, this time Patrick will see his son die before him!”
Her voice fell.
The mother and son looked each other and laughed very happily at the same time.
The George’s assassination failed. After he returned to the Hughes Family, both of them were still worried, but now in the early morning, a ‘Kill Declaration’ was sent to the Hughes Family.
Suddenly, the worries in their hearts were wiped out. With this crime of the Kill Declaration now, all that happened before could be ignored.
