Lester Williams finished his task and had someone clean up the farmhouse courtyard. He left a sum of hush money for the boss of the agritainment facility before driving back to Clearwater City.
After returning, he reported to Gavin Graves in detail how things were wrapped up. Mentioning Zack Wallaceâs methods, Lester Williams couldnât help saying, âI always heard that the new family head of the Howard Family had inhuman tactics, but today was truly an eye-opener.â
Although it was Zack Wallace who did it, it must have been under Roy Howardâs instructions. And judging by the way Zack Wallace conducted himself, it was apparent they had done similar things many times before.
Gavin Graves smiled slightly and said, âHeâs not a Howard by blood, and heâs young, so naturally, he needs to establish his authority through bloodshed, otherwise how could he secure his position?â
As he spoke, he paused, and with an even deeper smile on his face, Gavin Graves continued, âRoy must be furious. Mr. King must have done this to appease him, otherwise, if it were just ordinary kidnappers, why go to the trouble of dismemberment?â
Thinking this way, there seemed to be a primitive and ferocious brutality, as if slaughtering everything for a woman.
Gavin Graves shook his head with a smile, âHe is too uncultured.â
Lester Williams said, âLeroy mentioned that the person who paid instructed them to take turns violating Ms. Summers, especially one who had a venereal disease, was to ravage her several times more. Zack Wallace feared it would upset Ms. Summers, so he kept this part a secret and didnât mention it.â
Gavin Graves frowned, âBella Foster truly stops at nothingâ¦â
âShe died just like that, which is a relief, but Mrs. Foster still doesnât know what to do,â Lester Williams said. âIâve already sent people to take Mrs. Foster back home. Since sheâs out of her mind, she should be unable to run away. Whenever you want to deal with her, just let me know.â
âNo rush, Iâll ask the second young master later.â Gavin Graves showed little interest in handling such matters, but felt his younger brother should also start gaining experience, otherwise he would be outwitted again in the future.

Mrs. Foster was dumped at the door of the Foster Familyâs outer courtyard.
She seemed to have received a great shock. Her bloodshot eyes were filled with terror, and she couldnât even stand up properly, almost crawling and rolling as she made her way back home.
Upon seeing her like this, the servants were all startled and immediately one of them called Lance Foster, Bellaâs father, saying, âSir, you must come back and see! Something has happened to Mrs. Foster!â
Lance Foster was at the company. After receiving the call, he rushed home and saw Mrs. Foster, delirious, curled up in a corner of the room. He was both shocked and angry, shouting at the servants, âWhat happened?!â
The servant was also clueless and replied, âWe donât know. Suddenly a car came, stopped at the door of the outer courtyard, and just threw Mrs. Foster out!â
Lance Fosterâs heart was filled with alarm, and his first thought was: Business rivals were using despicable tactics to intimidate him!
He immediately wanted to call the police, but then Mrs. Foster saw him and frantically crawled over, clinging to Lanceâs leg and wailing, âHusband! Husband! Something has happened to Bella! You must avenge our daughter!â
Lanceâs heart skipped, his daughter was in trouble too?!
He immediately closed the door, not allowing the outside servants to hear, and helped Mrs. Foster to her feet, demanding, âWhat on earth happened? Where is Bella?!â
âBella is dead!â Mrs. Foster cried heartbreakingly, âBella was chopped into pieces! My daughter! My daughter died so horribly!!!â
âWho did this?!â Lanceâs chest heaved violently. With the loss of his beloved daughter, he wished he could tear the culprits to pieces!
âIt was Gavin Graves!â Mrs. Foster cried, âAnd the Howard Family! Mr. King, the Howardâs steward, and Mr. Williams from the Graves Family, they are all murderers!â
Lance froze.
It was as though he had been struck by a heavy hammer, his ears ringing, his mind blank.
How could this happenâ¦
How could his wife and daughter have provoked such terrifying people from these two families?
