Chapter 673: Chapter 676: Uncle Larry Scott (Extra 4)
“Mom, I…”
“No need to say anything else. You’ll return with Bella Scott and Hannah Ford now. If I don’t see you guys before tomorrow night, get ready to collect the corpses early the morning after!”
Madam Ford threw down the ultimatum and forcibly hung up the phone.
It took Noah Ford a while to snap back to reality.
He turned around to look at Bella Scott and Hannah Ford on the bed…For the first time, he realized what it meant to be more desperate than desperate.
…
Two hours later, a private jet equipped with medical instruments took off from A City, heading straight for M Country.
Other than Oliver Ford who stayed behind under the pretext of managing the subsidiary company, all of the Ford family members had left Eastonia.
Meanwhile, in another city in Eastonia, B City.
In the study room exclusively used by Larry Scott on the second floor of the Scott family residence, a handsome man in a crisp military uniform looked coldly at the young man with deep blue eyes sitting across from him.
“David Redington, I never thought you’d show mercy to Bella Scott’s daughter.” The man in military uniform spoke slowly.
Even while talking, the corner of his lips was still pulled downward.
It made him appear both dignified and cold.
The young man sitting across from him knew that this day would eventually come.
He just hadn’t expected that Bella Scott and Hannah Ford would create such a scandal, making everything happen so quickly.
Lily Gray’s relationship with the Ford family was unknown to outsiders, but after Larry saw the news, he only needed to do a quick check to find out the truth.
“Uncle,” David Redington said with a clear and magnetic voice, somehow sounding more like his uncle Larry Scott. “Lily is innocent. She’s not close with Bella Scott either…”
“Innocent?” Larry narrowed his eyes, and a hint of brutality flashed in his gaze. “Is your sister not innocent?”
“Back then, if Bella Scott hadn’t used a sorcerer, your sister would now be the same age as that girl!”
“Uncle, what happened with the sorcerer…it’s just superstition, not worth…” David actually hates Bella Scott just as much, but he just couldn’t bring himself to hate Lily Gray.
He wasn’t trying to defend Bella Scott but was instinctively trying to explain things for Lily Gray.
However, this infuriated Larry.
“Superstition? Huh…” Larry lifted the corner of his lips, the rising curve full of disdain.
“The sorcerer she found isn’t doing this for the first time. Before that, he had raised ghosts and summoned evil spirits for others. Your father found him when he was at the end of his rope. This is the result of trying to go against the will of heaven and getting bitten back.”
“But…” David still wanted to explain for Lily Gray.
Larry, however, coldly cut him off.
“If those evil ways were useless, how could he die in his forties, with his whole body itching and suffocating? This is the consequence of being bitten back. David…”
Larry stopped abruptly as he said this.
He reached out and removed the military glove from his left hand.
His slender and muscular fingers were exposed to the air.
Such a beautiful hand, like a masterpiece from God.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
But one finger was missing from the otherwise perfect set of five.
At the pinky finger, it looked as though something had cleanly cut it off at the root.
Larry raised his left hand, looking coldly at David, “In order to protect your mother, your uncle’s left pinky finger was cut off root and stem by someone. That person wanted to cut off my hopes of joining the military, and make me, Larry Scott, stumble and fall once and for all. But from that moment on, I was even more determined to fight for a better future for myself and your mother.”
“Sylvia and I lost our mother at a young age, and we didn’t get any care or attention in the Scott family except for the protection of the old man. Yet, I never let her suffer a bit. David, tell me… why should others be allowed to wrong my sister, whom I wouldn’t even want to cry?”
Larry pronounced every word slowly and solemnly.
His voice was indifferent and calm.
But David knew that behind that indifference and calmness lay enormous anger.
Is his uncle really planning to go after Lily Gray?!
