CHAPTER 71 WILLIAMS VENDETTA
The first impact was only the beginning.A crash shook Alphonus’s estate before the first guard could raise the alarm. The outer gates buckled inward as a black vehicle struck them, its bonnet folding beneath the impact. Two more vehicles swept behind it. Men spilled out before the dust settled, firing toward the gatehouse.“Contact at the entrance!” a guard shouted over the radio.The estate lights died.Alphonsus was already moving.“Seal the residential passage. Nobody approaches the windows,” he ordered.A burst of gunfire struck the stone beside the entrance. The guards ducked. Alphonsus looked through the damaged doors and saw attackers using the vehicles as cover. They were not firing blindly. One group pinned the gatehouse while another moved toward the side passage.“Two guards to the side passage. The rest stay with me.”Across the residential wing, Cindy heard the first impact and understood the danger. She pulled open the nearest staff-room door.“Everyone away from th
CHAPTER 70 NON NEGOTIABLE TERMS
The vehicle carrying Adrian vanished beyond the gates. Alphonsus watched until its taillights disappeared, then turned to Cindy.“Secure the evidence. Find out who authorised those men, but nobody leaves this estate alone.”Cindy handed the torn fragment to a trusted guard. “I’ll verify everyone assigned to the council chamber. The captured man stays separate.”“Good. Bring the family in.”The chamber filled with relatives whose anger had survived in the courtyard. Lydia, Lyla, and Yasmine took seats near Diana’s empty chair. Victor’s children, Marcelus, Cecilia, and Lilian, arrived together. Daniel Milton Williams entered with his three children. Marcel Holmes Williams came with Jerry, Cara, and Kyla. Charles Monty arrived with his own three children.The distant cousins joined them: Felicia, Anabella, Harrietta, Lily, Juliet, Tommy, Ethan, Edmund, Peter, Charles, and Rayson. Lorraine Williams sat with her only child near the chamber doors. Cara Williams, representing a separate bra
CHAPTER 69 COMMOTION
The convoy rolled through the estate’s damaged entrance headlights sweeping over broken stone and fresh security barriers. Alphonsus stood at the entrance with Cindy beside him. “Names and purpose before anyone crosses the courtyard. Private guards remain outside unless our verified team clears them.” Felicia emerged first, composed despite the hostile welcome. She had come to hear both sides before choosing one. Anabella followed, glaring at the guards surrounding the convoy. “If Victor sent you to frighten people into obedience, I want no part of it,” she said. Behind Felicia, Anabella kept glancing at the private guards. Harrietta demanded that every vehicle be searched for records removed from other branches. Lily quietly warned her that accusations without proof would only give Victor another excuse to divide them. Juliet agreed, but refused to let caution become silence. Tommy’s guards shifted when Cindy asked them to surrender their weapons for inspection.
CHAPTER 68 THE HEIR’S FIRST COUNTERMOVE
The servant ran before Victor's men reached the corridor.“Stop him!” someone shouted behind the door.He abandoned the empty tray and raced toward the servants' passage, his heart hammering. Footsteps followed. At the junction, a guard stepped into his path, demanding to know why he was running.“Mr Jameson needs to know,” the servant gasped.The guard seized his arm.“Know what?”Before the servant could answer, another man appeared behind them. Recognizing Victor's associate, the servant twisted free and darted through a narrow doorway leading toward the kitchens.A household steward heard the commotion and intervened, demanding that the guards explain themselves. That brief distraction gave the servant enough time to reach Cindy.“They are going to lock the gates,” he whispered. “At midnight. From outside. I heard Victor's people discussing it.”Cindy's expression hardened.“Where is Victor?”“Not here. His voice came through a communication device.”She took the servant directly
CHAPTER 67 ARRIVAL
Cindy stared at the message again.She showed Alphonsus the screen. He read the words, then glanced toward the damaged entrance, where workers were reinforcing the gates.“Can we identify the sender?”“No. The warning about weapons is credible, but we cannot verify who sent it or what the first message means.”“Then we prepare for what we know.”Alphonsus summoned the security chief. Every entrance was to be monitored, all weapons surrendered, and every visitor's escort kept outside the residential wing. Diana would be informed, but nobody was to alarm her unnecessarily.Cindy added another instruction. “Record every arrival. Watch the hands, not just the faces.”Alphonsus nodded. “And nobody gets special treatment because of their surname.”Diana joined them before the first vehicle appeared. She listened to the warning without interrupting.“They are James's family,” she said finally. “That does not mean they are James's friends.”“No,” Alphonsus replied. “But they will have the o
CHAPTER 66 THE PLOT
For several seconds after Victor's declaration, nobody spoke. Then Daniel Milton Williams leaned toward his camera. “You want us to unite against Alphonsus after everything that has happened? He survived your attacks. What makes you think bringing the entire family together will succeed where your men failed?” Victor's expression tightened. “Because your mistake is assuming I intend to repeat myself.” Marcelus, Victor's eldest son, folded his arms. Cecilia watched her father carefully, while Lilian remained silent, studying the faces appearing across the conference screen. Other branches of the Williams family had joined from private offices and residences. Marcel Holmes Williams sat beside his children, Jerry, Cara, and Kyla. Charles Monty's branch was represented alongside Lorraine Williams, Cara Williams, and Jenna Williams, whose children remained outside the camera's view. Daniel's three children listened without interrupting. Victor surveyed them. “Alphonsus has
