Chapter 306

Chapter 306 Hy y the afternoon, the sim had already disappeared, leaving the sky overcast and the weather chillingly ci Christmas way around the corner, and the Horton family had prepares a variety of items for the occasion.

Their house had also been adorned with plenty of festive decorations, creating a joyful atmosphere throughout..

“Have you brand the news!” Enuna placed a pot of hot songs on the dining table before sitting donat. “A few days ago, Monica from the Williams Lamily went missing, and today, she suddenly retumal, but they say she’s on the brink of death.”

Fabian, having known it, sighed and remarked. “The e weather is getting colder and coldre?

Nick, mill concerned about Madeline, asked, “Mom, does this have anything to do with Madeline? I heard that forris’s death is connected to her and that the Willams family is not for blood and seeking revenge on her. The Larson family has already made it clear–they don’t care whether Madeline and her family live or die.”

The Harton Emuly, having abo locked into Madeline’s backgromil, now knew that she grew up in an orphanage and was diligent and hardworking. Although it wasn’t dear how she got involved with Caleb and his group, it was evident that she was smart, capable, and beautiful, with a high level of education achieved through her own efforts The Horton family, steeped in a scholarly tradition, had always valued hard work and the pursuit of knowledge in the younger generation, and Madeline lit perfectly with their ideals.

“These Larson family members. Emma said with losslain. “They are a bunch of fence–sitters, easily swayed by the prevailing influence. Aren’t they afraid of offending those people to the point of no return?

“Madeline’s doing just fine, while the Williams family has lost a son and now their daughter is barely alive. Just looking at the outcome tells you everything you need to know!

Megan nodded. “Mom’s right.”

The Williams family may boast about their strength, but they haven’t gained a thing in the competition.

“I understand the Larson family’s strategy negy in staying neutral; if the Williams family prevails, they’re in the clear for not having interfered. If Madeline’s side wins, they can still count on family ties in the end.”

She snorted, Thank goodness we haven’t been linked to the Larsons through marriage. Nick, you really dodged a buller”

Nick wanted to say it was a shame, but remembering that he and Madeline were worlds apart, he felt it was better not to say anything unnecessary.

Fabian, being the most farsighted, remained silent for a moment before saying, “It looks like this will be the Williams family’s downfall.

Twice they’ve been warned. If they stop now, everyone walks away satished. But if they comine, they could lose everything they’ve built.”

Faban felt a bit sorry, knowing how hard it was to start from scratch. He couldn’t help but feel sympathy for the Williams family.

He added, “You don’t know. The Xuereb family has kept a low profile for a long time, but now it seems they’re quietly supporting Madeline’s family. It’s terrifying”

Megan exclaimed in astonishment, “What’s Madeline’s true background? How could she have such powerful backing“”

Fabian replied, “I heard she grew up in the same orphanage as the Xuereb family’s heir–they’re as close as siblings”

Megan pressed her lips together. “It seems the Williams family is bound to be driven out of Japrium. From now on, only nine of the Top Ten Families will renuia”

As they were speaking, the old butler rushed in from outside He shouted, “Something terrible has happened Ms. Monica Williams has died! Mrs. Mariam Williams has been poisoned and is in critical condition! Mr. Albert Williams is on his way here?

Such explosive news was like a bomb going off, shaking everyone to their core.

Fubian felt a clull in has bones, T never expected their revenge to be so ruthless. I thought sparing her life was already the end of the second punishment. They’re even more dangerous than I imagined”

Emma fel uneasy. “Just like that, another one is dead. First florris, now Monica–this is just...

Nick frowned. “But what does the Williams family’s trouble have to do with us? We haven’t gotten involved in any of this The inæter quickly explained in fear, “It’s not just us. Mr. Albert Willians and Mr. Keaton Williams, as well as their wives and sons, have all gone to different paransient families. They’re not just coming bine...

11.09 AM Chapter 300 “Japrium has been peaceful for more than ten years, but now with the Williams family in an uproar, I fear... I fear it’s going to be chaos.”

Fabian let out a heavy sigh. The Top Ten Families had known each other for over a decade. While there might not have been much friendship between them, they were all familiar with one another and kept each other in check.

Now that things had come to this point, he felt deeply conflicted.

After thinking it over, Fabian waved his hand. “Prepare some coffee.”

Emma, seeing things clearly, pulled Fabian aside. “Dear, the Williams family’s strength is well known, but Madeline’s side... who knows how deep their connections run.”

Fabian nodded. Take the children inside. Don’t show your faces.”

Nick followed his mother inside.

Megan muttered, “I’ve barely had two bites. My food’s going to get cold.”

Emma explained, “Your father is refusing to ally with the Williams family. The one coming is their patriarch, which shows their sincerity. If he’s turned down in front of us, he’ll lose face. We can eat later.

“Come with me to the storeroom. Let’s find some valuable herbal medicine to offer the Williams family as a token of goodwill for Mrs. Mariam Williams.

The Williams family arrived swiftly and aggressively, filled with fury and grief.

As soon as he entered. Albert, with his eyes bloodshot, grabbed Fabian by the arm.

He said, “Fabian, you have to help me!”

Though Albert was a martial artist, he was not particularly tall, standing under 3 feet 7 inches. He had a kindly face, but the energy he radiated was not to be underestimated.

Usually, his eyes were sharp and bright, but now, they looked dim. His hair had turned mostly gray in a matter of days.

Fabian didn’t bother with pleasantries. “I’ve heard about your family’s tragedy. My condolences...

“Condolences won’t do me any good,” Albert sneered, his eyes filled with hatred. His words sounded almost mocking, but the growing rage beneath them couldn’t be ignored.

He continued, “If life could go smoothly, who wouldn’t want to spend Christmas in peace, with family gathered around, enjoying each other’s company!

“You know me. I’m easygoing, and I’ve always valued loyalty. I’d do anything for a friend.

But now, my son is dead, my niece is dead, and my y sister–in–law is on the b brink of death. No one can swallow that kind of anger.”

With a stern expression, Albert added. “We’ve known each other for a long time, Fabian. Let’s not beat around the bush–just tell me what it will take for you to help me There wasn’t the slightest room for refusal in his words.

His implication was clear he was willing to pay any price, making it almost impossible for Fabian to refuse him.
