Chapter 551
Wesley’s expression was gloomy, and it was clear that he was wary of offending Humbert. After giving the situation more
thought, he said to Shayna, “Just leave and act like we were never friends, Shayna.”
“Hehe, what’s the matter? Are you scared after finding out that Humbert is my godbrother? Weren’t you. acting like you’re oh so
powerful earlier?” Shayna chuckled and had an extremely smug look on her face. I have no issues sparing your life, but all of you
will have to kowtow three times to me! Then I’ll leave. If you don’t, it takes just one call from me to let you feel Humbert’s anger!”
“Don’t go overboard, Shayna! I’ll kill you right now to show you what’ll happen if I’m cornered!” Calvin looked at Shayna
disappointedly. “I never expected you to be so evil!”
Shayna then said, “Blame yourself for rejecting me when I confessed my love to you last night. Since you’re so in love Winnie,
then my only choice is to kill her! Without her in the way, you would have fallen in love with me!”
Calvin smiled wryly and said, “Keep dreaming! I’ll never fall in love with you even if Winnie’s not around anymore!”
Shayna laughed loudly and said, “Hahaha! You only said that because you found out my plan today! If Winnie dies, you would’ve
all thought that she died in an accident, and you’ll fall for me when that time comes!” After saying that to Calvin, she turned
around abruptly and glared at Severin, saying, “You! It’s all -because a meddling busybody like you showed up out of nowhere
that my plan was ruined. My plan today
would’ve succeeded if it weren’t for you!”
“Haven’t you caused enough trouble, Shayna!” Winnie had a disappointed look as she pointed to the door and said, “Leave,
Shayna. You and I will be strangers from now on.”
“Fine. I’m leaving!” Shayna smiled coldly and turned around to leave.
Wesley could not do anything about it because of her connections with a strong individual.
Severin frowned, because Shayna’s murderous look left him with the impression that she still intended to cause trouble for
Winnie and himself in the future. He was not worried about that though. Instead, he asked Wesley and the others, “Are Equus
Hall’s people that unreasonable? Do they go around killing people without cause?”
Wesley smiled bitterly. “They don’t. People say that Equus Hall’s leader is a good person. He has contributed to a lot of
charitable causes, and one of them was to help build schools for children!” After a pause, Wesley said again, “They’re
considered one of Brookton’s larger organizations, and their higher-ups wouldn’t be able to monitor all their subordinates
because they have too many people under their command. As a result, it’s pretty common for some of the lower-level members
to bully other people.”
“More importantly, Humbert is an extremely arrogant person because his uncle is Equus Hall’s protector, hence the reason he
always gets away with bullying people!” Winnie then said.
Then, Wesley smiled wryly and said, “People say that Humbert’s uncle, Geoffrey, is a two-faced man whose behavior in front of
the organization’s higher-ups is completely different from his behavior in private. He might be dutiful and obedient in front of the
elders, but whatever foul things he did in private will be well-hidden from the higher-ups!”
Severin had feared that Equus Hall would become an evil force, but he nodded and breathed a sigh of relief when he heard what
Wesley said. After all, the old wacko’s original intention was not to have the halls engage in evil, and he would feel bitterly
disappointed if Equus Hall turned out to be an unreasonable force that commits countless deplorable acts.
“Humbert and Geoffrey seem to be despicable individuals!” Severin sighed. At that moment, the server
knocked on the door and walked in. “May we serve the food now?”
