Henry had just begun to relax when Briar added ominously, “He just might not live for much longer.
‘Not live for much longer? Doesn’t that mean he’s about to die?‘ Henry gritted his teeth.
Briar should just say that Edgar was dead already.
Henry’s face turned pale, and his legs trembled uncontrollably.
They had some understanding of Ashton’s methods, so they could at least figure out a way to escape.
But Briar was now a madwoman bent on avenging her mother. She was on a killing spree and wouldn’t even spare her own father.
Judging by the way she was treating him, she probably wouldn’t leave tonight unless she killed someone for
sport.
Henry’s gaze began to wander over the other members of the Wilson family.
If someone had to be sacrificed, it definitely couldn’t be him. The Wilson family still needed him.
He still had to lead them to become the top of the four great families of Shoneport.
After a sweep of the deck, his gaze finally locked on Ted, who was standing beside Frank…
In the Wilson family, Ted was now the most useless person.
Ted stayed silent. It was both reasonable and expected. He was already used to it.
Frank scoffed. Of course, they knew what Henry’s gaze implied.
He said, “See that? That’s the dear grandfather you’ve respected for so many years! The one who’s about to shove you out to take a bullet for him.”
Frank had mastered the art of sarcasm. His words shattered the last shred of hope Ted clung to, and his longing for familial affection vanished completely.
Ted
gave a bitter smile. “Frank, tell me, how stupid must I have been to hold on for all these years?”
Frank grinned, showing his white teeth. “How stupid? Not that bad, I suppose. I’ll just laugh at you for the rest of your life, that’s all.”
Ted’s eyes welled up. Frank’s words told him that they could be friends for life.
They were still friends. They could still be friends for life. The words were like magic, instantly filling the emptiness in Ted’s heart.
“Frank, thank you.” Ted turned and hugged Frank tightly.

It was a little dramatic, sure, but he couldn’t help himself.

The moment he hugged Frank, Connor immediately shot him a menacing glare. He still gave his good friend. a tight hug.
After letting go, he stepped forward to Briar’s side, looking ready to die. “Briar, do your worst. Hit me or kill me.”
No one else from the Wilson family would step up and let Briar take her anger out on them.
Briar looked at Ted as if he were an idiot, then fired another shot. But the person who was shot was still Henry.
This time, Henry’s scream was so shrill it cracked.
With the bullet piercing his other leg, Henry could no longer stand and collapsed heavily onto the deck.
He landed face down, and it was a nasty fall.
He was an old man, after all. After being repeatedly humiliated and tortured by Briar, he passed out on the
spot.
“How horrible!” Ted closed his eyes and turned away, unable to bear the sight of his grandfather’s wretched
state.
Briar tossed Ted back toward Frank. “Watch him, and don’t let him interfere again. Bullets don’t have eyes.”
Frank caught Ted and gave Briar an “OK” sign. “Got it, Briar.”
Ted was in a complete daze.
He was a grown man of average weight. But Briar just tossed him aside with only one hand. She was clearly not an ordinary woman.
Seeing Henry’s legs ruined and the man passed out cold, Noah finally couldn’t hold back anymore.
Before Noah could get near Briar, Ashton kicked him away.
Whether it was intentional or not, the perfectly aimed kick sent Noah right into the sea.
Now, it was Sienna’s turn to be dumbfounded. “Honey? Quick! Get him out!”
The bodyguards glanced at Ashton. Seeing that he didn’t object, they scrambled into the sea and pulled the
man out.
When Noah was pulled out, his chest was caved in, and he was already unconscious.
Maybe he choked on the seawater. Or maybe Ashton had kicked him so hard that he was knocked unconscious instantly.
The others on deck watched as if it were a grand play. The more arrogant the Wilsons had been, the more

pathetic they looked after being taken down by Ashton and Briar.
Except for Sienna and Ted, it seemed that all the men in the Wilson family had been crippled.
With such little fighting ability, they had no chance against Ashton and Briar.

Just then, several police cars approached from a distance. In the lead car sat an expressionless Thiago.
“Director Wade? Oh my god! It’s Director Wade!”
“Why is Director Wade here?”
“Director Wade is here to arrest someone in person? Who is he arresting?”
“Do you even need to guess? Of course he’s here to arrest the Wilsons! He’s not going to arrest Ashton and Briar, is he?”
Sure enough, when the police boarded the yacht, they didn’t say a word. They simply took away the unconscious Henry, Noah, and Ryan, who had been trying to shrink into the shadows.
Of course, they also took the panicked Sienna and Ted, who followed of his own accord. A family should stick together.
Everyone else on the yacht stood obediently. “Hello, Director Wade. We don’t know anything.”
Thiago exchanged a few pleasantries with everyone before walking over to Ashton and Briar. Seeing one of them holding two little bombs and the other holding a gun, the corner of his mouth twitched almost imperceptibly.
With just a glance, he signaled for them to put the weapons away. Then he smiled warmly. “Ashton, Briar, I’m late. You weren’t wronged, were you?”
Ashton nodded seriously. “Of course, we’ve been wronged, but we’re generous. As long as they acknowledge their mistakes and confess their crimes, we don’t mind feeling a little aggrieved.”
“Yeah! At least we should thank the Wilson family for not going all the way and killing us!” Briar added, feigning fear.
Thiago and the others went silent upon hearing Briar’s false accusation.
Except for Ted, every man in the Wilson family had been crippled.
But everyone just looked at the sky, the ground, or the sea.
They agreed with Briar and Ashton. Everything they said was correct. They had been terribly wronged. Yes, the Wilson family had nearly killed them.
If the police hadn’t arrived in time, Ashton and Briar would have been bullied to death, right?
Thiago, who had weathered countless storms, kept his face perfectly calm as he listened to their blatant nonsense. “Alright, I’ll investigate thoroughly and make sure you get justice.”
