Chapter 73 FAMILY MEETING
The guards moved first, securing the corridors while Cindy guided the children and older relatives away from the damaged hall. Diana stayed beside her. Eleanor was escorted between two guards, her document case carried separately. Nobody had forgotten the unfinished confession.A security officer reported that the exposed grounds had been searched. The guards had recovered fragments from the shattered window and a possible bullet casing outside, but the shooter had vanished. No one had been seriously injured. The family was shaken, not broken.“Preserve everything,” Alphonsus instructed. “No one touches the evidence without recording it.”Cindy checked the children again, then stationed two trusted guards beside Diana. She refused to let panic dictate their movements, even as distant sirens faded beyond the estate walls without warning.Inside the reinforced library, he placed the Williams succession seal at the centre of the long table. Its presence silenced the remaining conversa
Chapter 72 TOO LATE FOR CONFESSIONS
The guard's report reached Alphonsus before the woman crossed the threshold.“She is waiting at the entrance, sir. No weapon was found, but she carries a document case and a telephone.”“Search both. Then bring her in.”Cindy stood beside Diana, watching the guards inspect Eleanor Voss beneath the entrance lights. They checked the case, examined its contents, and secured her phone.Eleanor submitted without protest, though her eyes kept moving across the assembled relatives.The entire Williams family had gathered inside the estate. Daniel Milton Williams stood with his three children, while Marcel Holmes remained close to Jerry, Cara, and Kyla. Charles Monty was surrounded by his own children, and Victor's three children, Marcelus, Cecilia, and Lilian, kept to themselves. Lydia, Lyla, and Yasmine stood together, while Lorraine and Cara Williams watched over their children. Jenna stayed close to her two children. Around them, the distant cousins filled the remaining space, their con
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
