Chapter 94
Gavin was unaware of what had happened outside his room.
He could only lie quietly in his bed with unspeakable anguish.
It was sheer torment for him.
Meanwhile, a pale–faced Claire finally saw the road sign constructed exclusively for the Mason family. The purpose was to lead
others to their mansion.
Looking up at the seemingly brightening sky, Claire seemed to have seen a glimmer of hope.
By that moment, Claire could no longer speak. Her lips were parched and dry. Her thoughts were so muddled that she was
unable to express herself clearly.
She had been running non–stop, and she did not even know when she lost her shoes.
Her battered feet were soaked in blood.
However, Claire no longer felt any pain. She had reached a point where the intensity of her suffering left her physically
numb.
She had stopped running a long time ago.
If she ran any further, she would collapse and die.
Claire no longer had the strength to walk steadily. She staggered from tree to tree for support, inching her way toward the road
sign.
By the time she reached Greenwald, it was already dawn.
Soon, many people at Greenwald gathered around her.
Finally, Claire saw the door of the mansion belonged to the Mason family.
With a loud thud, she collapsed in front of the door.
Claire lay undressed, her body sprawled on the ground, facing upward. In a state of distress, she looked up at the sky and
panted heavily.
The men leered at her, grinning lasciviously.
Meanwhile, the Mason family had just finished eating breakfast in the mansion. Kieren Mason, the eldest son in the Mason
family, and Warren Mason, his fourth brother, placed their cutlery on the table.
Just then, someone rushed into the mansion, crying out frantically
“Oh no! Mr. Kieren! Mr. Warren! Something terrible has happened?”
Kieren and Warren turned to look at the door simultaneously and frowned.
Kieren looked at the servant coldly.
“Why are you looking so flustered?
“It’s so early in the morning. How can anything terrible happen?”
The servant tried to catch is breath.
They... there are many people outside the door. Everyone is watching. They all want to join in the fun.”
“Huh?”
Puzzled, the two brothers looked at each other.
Warren asked, “Join in the fun? What’s so exciting outside the mansion? This is Greenwald. Who dares to come here to have
fun?”
The servant replied, “There’s a woman. The woman is not wearing any clothes. She’s lying outside at the door. She wants to see
the person in charge of the Mason family.
“Those people watching outside the mansion think that the Mason family has done something wrong to this woman. They must
be criticizing us,”
“What?”
Hearing that, Kieren and Warren slammed their hands on the table and dashed out of the mansion.
Just as the servant described, they saw a disheveled woman, whose feet were covered in blood, lying sprawled at the doorstep
of the mansion. She was not wearing any clothes.
There was a large group of onlookers standing near the door, gesticulating at the door.
“Oh my, the Mason family must be very influential and powerful in Greenwald. Who is this girl that they bullied?”
“How can you do this to her? They have left her here in such a sorry state.”
“Let’s expose them We should tell everyone what kind of people the Mason family is.”
Hearing the chatters in the crowd, Kieren and Warren frowned.
Warren walked up to Claire.
He looked down at Claire’s body and grimaced.
“Who are you?
“Why did you appear at the door of our family mansion without any notice? Why did you frame us?”
Claire looked up at Warren
She replied hoarsely, “You. Are you the person in charge of this family?”
Hearing this, the corners of Warren’s eyes twitched uncomfortably.
He replied in a loud voice, “I’m the fourth son of the Mason family, Warren Mason. You can tell me what you want.”
Hearing this, Claire’s eyes stirred.
Tears started streaming down her face.
She mustered all her strength to stand up and started sobbing, tears flowing down her cheeks.
“Mr. Warren, you have to help me. Please!
“I need your support. You must help me. I’m from the Dawson family in Brookspring.”
Everyone was astonished to hear what Claire said.
Both Kieren and Warren’s pupils constricted in shock.
Warren immediately turned around and looked at Kieren, who called out to the servants.
“Bring this woman into the mansion.”
Kieren immediately instructed the servant to bring Claire into the house.
“Send these people away. Make sure they don’t say anything about this incident. If anyone dares to spout nonsense, we will not
let them off!”
“Yes, Mr. Kieren,”
Indeed, the Mason family was capable of threatening the people and making sure they kept quiet about the matter.
The onlookers only dared to talk among themselves. No one dared to offend the Mason family.
Meanwhile, Claire lay completely limp in the courtyard inside the mansion. Her body resembled a lifeless form that had
surrendered to exhaustion.
Everyone in the Mason family looked at her, displeased. No one bothered to give her any clothes to wear.
Warren then started to question her.
“What’s going on?
“Why are you in this state?
“Where’s my brother?”
Obviously, Warren knew Zavian had gone to help the Dawson family the day before.
Although Zavian said he was heading to Brookspring to help the Dawson family, his intention was to hunt Gavin down and
kill him.
Since then, Kieren and Warren had not received any news of both Zavian and Ethan. Instead, they now faced a disheveled
Claire.
Claire’s voice was hoarse.
“They’re dead. They’re all dead. Not only is Mr. Zavian dead, Mr. Ethan is also dead.”
“What?”
Kieren and Warren’s eyes unmediately narrowed.
They stared at Claire in disbelief.
“That’s impossible! Just when Warren shouted at the top of his voice, a roar echoed throughout the house, filling every corner
with the resounding intensity of his outburst.
“Damn it!
“Zavian! Ethan! Your plaques are smashed!
“That’s impossible. Impossible!”
It was the grief–stricken voice of an elderly man.
The voice was like a deafening clap of thunder reverberating through Kieren and Warren’s minds.
Were Zavian and Ethan dead?
How did they die?
Meanwhile, Claire had not stopped talking.
Kieren and Warren, who were still in a state of shock, heard Claire’s hoarse voice.
“Don’t worry, it’ll be your turn soon. All of you in the Mason family will die eventually.”
“What?”
Kieren and Warren were about to explode in fury when they heard what Claire said.
Kieren’s eyes, aflame with anger, were wide and bulging. “How dare y say that? You’re asking for trouble.”
A powerful and abrupt surge of energy surged from within Kieren.
He slammed his palm on the lifeless Claire.
“No!”
Claire screamed out her last breath. Kieren had crushed her head. Claire was dead.
Before her last sentence, Claire had said, “You must kill Gavin. He sent me here with this message for you.”
However, Claire’s voice had been drowned by the elderly’s sorrowful cries at that moment.
Claire had died in vain. She was hoping to provoke the Mason family so they could go back to kill Gavin.
