Chapter 409
Chapter 409
At that time, Bruce carried out Naomi. Her body was covered in blood.
The world of the Cedillo family, once filled with colors, was now reduced back to sadness.
Thankfully, Naomi survived.
They all remembered the time they had poisoned an unborn life. The memory of a baby’s cry sent
shivers down their spines, bringing back the horrifying memory. If they hadn’t done anything wrong,
they wouldn’t have been scared.
In the surveillance room, upon hearing about his mother’s ordeal, Leo was filled with anger.
Considering the humiliation his mother had endured in the Mastin family, he couldn’t bear it anymore.
Enraged, he stormed out of the room, knocking over the chair in the process. Andre did not stop him.
Thinking about the Cedillo Group, Andre felt a surge of hatred. The lingering hatred made him recall
the time he was hopeful for the arrival of the unborn child.
No on expected the outcome.
The next moment, Leo appeared on the surveillance footage. The seemingly timid boy was now
clouded with anger. He rushed forward, knocking down Ellory.
His eyes were bloodshot, and his body was emitting pure hatred. The more he hated, the tighter his
fists were.
He pinned down Ellory. “I’m going to make you pay for almost killing my mother.”
He threw another punch at Ellory. “Go to hell, Ellory.”
At this moment, the actors playing the ghosts stood up and walked towards the exit. They didn’t seem
scary anymore.
Leo couldn’t control his anger. The image of his mother being rushed to the hospital, his father crying,
was too much for him to bear.
Suddenly, the room was brightly lit.
Andre, accompanied by the person in charge, walked into the haunted house. Seeing Andre, the actors
playing the ghosts were filled with fear, instinctively making way for him. Everyone was respectful
towards Andre. They didn’t dare to approach him.
Michael, who was seeing Andre for the first time, could feel his powerful aura. It was oppressive,
making them want to shrink.
No wonder Leo said earlier that even a wealthy woman like Mia was just a toy in Andre’s hand. Having
such a husband, Mia was like a small ant.
Andre walked into the room. He squatted next to Ellory, who was covered in blood and almost
unconscious. With a cold voice, he asked, “Who ordered you to kill?”
Ellory was shaking in fear, but Andre demanded an answer, “Speak!”
“Finley.”
Having gotten the answer, Andre stood up and looked at the man on the ground with contempt.
Andre didn’t say much. He kicked Ellory in the face, causing him to pass out and bleed on the floor.
Originally, he was there to investigate a kidnapping case from sixteen years ago. But now, it seemed
like he didn’t need to do it anymore.
Andre left the haunted house with Leo.
After they left, an ambulance and medical personnel quickly arrived.
On the way home, Leo confessed to Andre, “Andre, I want to kill them.”
Andre looked out the window. His eyes were filled with an unprecedented hatred.
In the haunted house, everyone watched as the two men were carried away. Michael noticed how
Andre, full of anger, kicked a man's head until it bled. His one kick was even crueler than Leo's dozens
of punches.
To his surprise, Mia was with such a terrifying man.
Michael realized that people at their level led a completely different life from his own.
None of them dared to speak. After they left, they all received the final payments on their phones from
the Cedillo Group, double the amount Mia originally got.
Now, they were all scared of Andre after today. It turned out that one should not be fooled by the
elegant appearance of a business tycoon. If he could achieve such a social status today, he was
unlikely to be a good person!
Back at the Cedillo family mansion, Mia saw her husband and nephew returning together. She had no
idea what had happened. So, like before, she rushed to greet them, “Honey, you’re back.”
She handed over a cup of water, trying to please him.
Usually, Andre would always greet his wife with a smile, no matter how bad his day had been. But
today, he brushed off her hand. “I have some work to do.”
After saying that, he and Leo went upstairs.
Mia could sense that her husband was upset. She wondered if something had gone wrong. Why was
the area around Leo's eyes all red?
She wanted to find out what was going on, but she also sensed the seriousness of the situation,
realizing that it wasn't a time for her to cause trouble. If she wasn't careful, she might even get a
scolding from her husband.
In the afternoon, Bruce unexpectedly came home early, and even Hansen was called into the study.
Now, Mia was even more certain that something had happened. She took out her phone and put down
her cup, discreetly leaving the room.
By evening, only Naomi was as usual. At the dining table, she was insisting that Mia should eat more
vegetables. Mia had been crying for a long time. Her red eyes and stuffy nose made her keep her head
down.
Bruce and Leo were silently serving Naomi. This text is property of Nô/velD/rama.Org.
Naomi, clueless about what had happened, laughed and asked, “What’s the occasion today? Why are
you guys suddenly being so nice to me?”
This only made Mia feel worse. She also served some food to Naomi. “Naomi, you should eat too.”
Naomi was unsure of what was happening. She just noticed that Mia’s mood was off. She quickly stood
up, and went to sit beside Mia. “Mia, why are you crying? Are you feeling unwell?”
This made Mia feel even worse. With tears in her eyes, she looked at Naomi and pressed her lips
together. She made a silent vow in her heart. As long as she was there, no one would dare bully her
Naomi. She would protect Naomi!
Andre took a deep breath. He couldn’t eat anymore at home. He stood up, grabbed his coat, and said
to his wife, “Mia, I’m stepping out for a bit. You should go to bed early tonight.”
