Wolves, Maces, And Blood novel Chapter 148

Cecilia Moore!

Zackary Campbell was stunned. Of course, he knew Sean was engaged to Cecilia in Hilshire after he got out of prison. Before, when the Moore Group changed its owner, Charles Campbell came to him. He sent people to warn the Rodriguez family and sent Lilith Carter and others to Hilshire to assist Cecilia in taking over the Moore Group.

He just didn’t expect Cecilia to find his contact information.

It seemed that she was also desperate.

“Hello, Miss Moore.”

Zackary Campbell took a few steps back, stepped aside, and spoke as quietly as he could, “It’s me. I assume you called on such short notice to ask about Sean, right?”

“Yes!”

Cecilia nodded and said, “Is he…”

“Is he all right now? Is he with you? Were the wounds on his body serious?”

“I…”

“May I speak to him?”

Subconsciously, Cecilia did not dare to think about Sean’s death. So, all the questions she asked were based on the premise that Sean was still alive.

Zackary Campbell thought for a moment and looked at the body that was fished out of the Kats River by the master of the Campbell family. His tone was very solemn, “Miss Moore, I want you to be prepared.”

“What?”

Cecilia asked with a sudden quiver in her voice, “Mr. Campbell, what…”

“What do you mean?”

Cecilia was different from Gemma. Gemma and Dean were too old to withstand blows. Therefore, Zackary Campbell had to tell them the good part and let them relax as much as possible.

But Cecilia…

She was still young, and Zackary Campbell felt no need to hide the truth about Sean for her.

So, Zackary Campbell said quietly, “Sean was being hunted by eight of his peers, and the battle is over. The odds of his survival were almost zero...”

“We just found Sean’s weapon at the bottom of the Kats River, and we’re trying to find the body.”

Boom!

Zackary Campbell’s words hit Cecilia over the head like a bolt from the blue, via a mobile phone, over an endless distance. For a moment, Cecilia froze there. Her face turnedpale, tears streaming down her face.

Her hand shook and the phone flopped to her feet.

He was…

Dead?

Out of countless possibilities, this was the one Cecilia dared not to think about, was the one she did not want to face, and was also the cruelest one. However, it was the highest probability, high enough to make people despair!

What should I do if you were dead?

What about Phyllis?

You promised me that you would come back alive, that you would come back and marry me, that you would make me your bride, that you would be Phyllis’s biological father. Did you forget your own words and promises so quickly?

Liar!

You big liar!

Cecilia crouched on the ground, her hands clasped tightly around her legs, her forehead resting on her knees, her body shaking violently. It was as if her normally strong and fearless heart had suddenly broken.

She grinded her teeth and cried!

But she was afraid to cry for fear that Marcia, Matthew Moore, and Phyllis would hear her next door.

In two minutes.

When Cecilia looked up, her eyes were swollen and her face was full of tears. Her pants near her knees were wet with tears. She took a deep breath, reached out to wipe the tears away, and picked up her phone.

Zackary Campbell was still on the line...

“Miss Moore, I’m sorry…”
