Chapter 57 - Who Said I Was Dead?

At the moment of his death, Cole had seen Simone break out of the crowd.

Cole felt uneasy letting such a powerful martial artist get away.

“Yes.”

Hugh nodded. “We couldn’t stop her. She’s powerful. Even though I hurt her, it was easy for her to escape.”

“That’s true.”

Cole sighed.

“Let’s go. There is no need to waste time,” Cara said.

“Get in.”

A few cars drove away.

…

It was 12:20 pm.

The night was dark, and the street lights were bright.

Cole and the rest soon arrived at the villa where Charles and the rest were locked.

“Be careful.”

Cara instructed them.

The people outside the door nodded in unison with wary expressions.

They were different from the other group of people in the factory, and they had never seen Cole before.

They were just a little curious to see an unfamiliar face beside Cara.

Isn’t the family head’s fiancé dead?

Who is this man?

Cara and Cole walked in front.

Hugh and Kamila followed the two of them, looking around warily.

The four of them walked into the villa.

***

Inside the villa’s hall…

The lights were brightly lit.

Four people were lying down in the living room. They were all tied up tightly, red marks visible on their bodies.

At the side, ten guards in black masks stood and watched over them.

A surveillance camera hung in the corner.

At this moment, those four people were tired after a period of suffering.

Zen Slade looked at the surrounding guards with a dark expression, trying to find an opportunity to escape.

Charles’s expression was ugly, his eyes filled with gloom.

Regarding Cole’s death, he was well aware that the Hayes family could report the matter to Trent Wilson; however, it would be a loss for the Yeagers.

Moreover, Charles had suffered the most.

Not only did he fail to gain any benefits, but he also got captured.

As for Chris, his face was filled with hatred.

However, this hatred was not directed at Cara.

It was for his brother Steve!

When Simone had abandoned him, Chris had finally understood that the other party did not plan to help him sincerely from the start. She only planned to watch his actions.

If he succeeded, Simone could come out and share the credit with him.

If he failed, he would naturally be caught…

She was completely using him.

Steve Hayes!

Chris gritted his teeth.

It has to be him.

This fellow must have done many things behind my back.

In the corner was Jane. At this moment, a swollen slap mark graced her face, and she was in a sorry state. Her situation was the worst among the four of them.

The reason was that her mouth was stuffed with strips of cloth.

Why? The answer was simple.

When the Williams family had caught the other three, they knew that the situation was over and obediently surrendered.

However, Jane continued to struggle and make a fuss. How could the Williams endure it?

Jane had been slapped twice to shut her up.

And right now, she was the most fearful out of them all.

She knew that the Yeagers and the Hayes might be able to save those two guys from the Williams family, but she…

There was no hope for her!

At that moment…

The door was pushed open.

Cara walked in first. “You guys can leave. Just leave them here.”

Silence!

The ten guards immediately retreated from the side door and closed it tightly.

They made no sound during the process.

Their execution was astonishing!

When the four on the ground saw Cara walk into the room, their expressions immediately became interesting.

Especially Jane.

When she saw Cara descending like a queen with a domineering aura, her expression turned ugly.

Why?

What right did Cole have to gain Cara’s recognition?

In fact, Cara did not hesitate to offend the two big families, the Hayes and the Yeagers, for Cole.

What had Cole done?!

Thinking of what she had experienced, Jane became even more unstable and cursed crazily in her heart.

“Cara Williams.”

Charles suddenly looked up. “Let me go. The Yeagers can give you anything.”

“Anything?”

Cara was expressionless. “Francis Yeager called me. He couldn’t give ‘anything’ to me.”

Charles’s face turned pale.

I was abandoned?

Chris raised his voice. “Where’s the Hayes family?!”

“The Hayes?”

Cara smiled faintly. “The Hayes didn’t even make a single sound.”

Chris’s face was ashen, and the fear of death enveloped his heart.

Indeed.

I’m doomed!

Steve wants to use Cara to get rid of me.

“Miss Williams, please let Mr. Hayes off,” Zen Slade said. “Any price is fine.”

Cara was expressionless. “Why should I?”

Hearing this, Zen hurriedly added, “Now that Cole is dead, I know you must be very sad, but the deceased is gone. There’s no need for us to make things difficult for the living for the dead.

“Indeed, Mr. Yeager is in the wrong. But pursuing the matter now can’t bring Cole back to life. It’s better to take more money from the Yeagers family.

“First, this money can make up for the family members of Cole Stone and relieve their pain.

“Second, I believe that if you let Mr. Yeager off, the Yeagers will definitely be grateful to you. Our families can also turn hostility into friendship.

“Third, your kindness will definitely make him feel guilty. After repenting for this sin, he might even be able to befriend the Williams for generations after he takes over the Yeagers.”

Zen was usually quiet, but at such an urgent time, he could still be of some use.

Charles looked at Cara. “Yes! Uncle Zen is right. Miss Williams, please let me go…”

Cara smiled playfully. “Well said, Zen Slade. I didn’t expect you to be so eloquent.”

“Miss Williams, you’re too kind.”

Zen lowered his head nervously.

He was saving Charles and himself.

If he could move Cara, he might be able to live.

“However, I think you might have misunderstood something.” Cara smiled.

“Misunderstood?”

Zen’s expression changed slightly. “What misunderstanding?”

“Who told you that Cole is dead?”

Cara sneered.

Charles frowned. “I saw with my own eyes that Cole’s breathing had stopped. How could he still be alive?”

What’s wrong with this Cara? Could it be that she has been single for too many years and is hallucinating after her fiancé died?

Charles guessed maliciously.

He could not wait for Cara to have a mental problem.

“Yes, Miss Williams, there’s no need to do this.”

“Let Mr. Yeager go. It’s a win-win!”

Zen did not think that anything was wrong with Cara.

He felt that Cara was just looking for a reason to not let them go.

“Win-win?”

Cara sneered, her expression turning gloomy at once. “Who wants to have a win-win situation with you?”

The moment Cara’s expression darkened, the temperature in the room seemed to drop a few degrees.

This shocked Zen.

Is this the power of the Queen of the Williams Corporation?

There is no true energy or martial art.

Just by being in a high position, she was able to instill fear in others.

Charles reluctantly said, “But, but Cole Stone is indeed dead. There’s no point in making things difficult for us.”

“Who said I was dead?”

A voice suddenly rang out.

Charles, Chris, and Zen were stunned.

When Jane, who had been cursing Cole at the side, heard this voice, she was shocked…

How is that possible?!
