His expression grew dark, clearly furious, his emotions gradually slipping out of control. “That’s right, I wanted to kill her! Do you want to avenge her and kill your father?”
With a harsh shout, Raul spat as he spoke, like a crazed beast.
So many things had happened recently that his composure had finally unraveled.
Joshua hurriedly said. “That’s right, Russell. Margaery was an impostor. She was never truly one of us. Only the few of us are truly brothers, born of the same mother.”
“And only Father is truly our family!”
“How can you question Father like this? He does everything for our good.”
Avery nodded. “She deserved to die. She brought disaster to this family. If it weren’t for her, I wouldn’t have ended up like this! The position of Head of the Royal Medical Hall might already be mine!”
“Avery is right,” Clyde snorted. “If I hadn’t been injured, I would have killed her myself! Why would my six mentors need to do it!”
Russell’s head buzzed.
In his memory, this family had once been harmonious and happy.
Now, it was as if demons were running wild, the air thick with a violent, sinister, poisonous atmosphere that he could hardly believe.
He was just about to speak.
Suddenly, behind him came Tessa’s timid voice, on the verge of tears. “What happened? Is Margaery dead?”
Russell turned his head and saw Tessa trembling as she walked in as if a gust of wind would knock her down.
“Stop pretending!” Russell barked.
He thought of how Tessa had used this trick to deceive so many people and harm Margaery so many times. Anger surged in his heart, and he exposed her directly.
But in the end, he was no match for Tessa.
Tessa’s eyes flashed with hatred, but soon she looked dazed, her eyes brimming with tears as she gazed at him, as if she never expected Russell to say such things to her.
Then, tears poured out like a tide. “Russell, I’m sorry!”
Before Russell could react, she had already knelt down. I understand that you are very upset about Margaery’s death, but this was something I never expected either.”
“I know Margaery didn’t like me, but I never thought…”
She cried, but in truth, she was overjoyed inside.
Therefore, after taking a jab at Russell, she couldn’t help but add, “But perhaps it’s better that she’s dead. Otherwise, now that her face is ruined and she’s become a mute, living on would only be suffering
“Just thinking about it makes my heart ache.”

Russell looked at her affected manner, wishing he could kick her to death.

However, before he could act, Joshua had already stepped forward with a look of concern, pulling Tessa up from the ground. “It’s so cold and the ground is so hard. Why are you kneeling?”
As he spoke, he shot Russell a glare. “Even if Margaery is dead, what does that have to do with Tessa? Why are you taking your anger out on her!
Then, turning to Tessa, he asked gently, “Tessa, why are you here?”
“Theard something happened to Margaery, so I came to check on things.”
Tessa’s eyes were red from crying. After answering Joshua’s question, she looked at Raul and probed, “Father, what exactly happened?”
In fact, she was here to gather information.
Margaery died at the hands of Sullivan in Lakeburgh, but she still didn’t feel satisfied. After all, she had wanted to see Margaery in utter misery at the moment of her death.
She wanted even more to see the Wallen family collapse in regret and wish they were dead after killing their own daughter.
When that time came, she would take them all down at once. That was her true goal.
Her heart was full of venom and hatred.
But on her face, it was as if she wore a mask, crying delicately and pitifully.
Raul would not possibly see through her true thoughts.
Upon hearing this, he snorted coldly and said, “Why are you crying? She brought this upon herself! She isn’t worth your
tears!”
In his opinion, Margaery had usurped Tessa’s identity for years and should have died long ago.
She should have ended up just like that midwife.
“What a vicious mother and daughter! he grumbled inwardly.
Tessa saw Raul in this state and smiled with satisfaction, but she pretended to be concerned. “But she is still my elder sister, and we have lived together for a year…”
“You still care about her?” Joshua felt a deep ache at these words. “What a foolish girl!”
“Forget her. Just pretend you’ve never met this person. From now on, you are the only daughter in the Chancellor’s estate.
“Is Margaery really dead?” Tessa was overjoyed.
Clyde said, “Don’t worry. With my mentors stepping in, and six people attacking together, that guard from Prince Dashnell’s estate is definitely no match. She will surely die tonight!”
“If I could get up, I would really want to go collect her corpse and kick her in the face a couple of times!”
The whole room was abuzz with chatter.
It was as if Margaery’s death was a cause for celebration, worthy of setting off firecrackers.
Russell watched this scene, feeling an overwhelming sense of irony.

His gaze fell on the smug face of Clyde, and he couldn’t help but laugh. “Clyde, the one who died isn’t Margaery, but your mentors. Do you still want to go collect the corpses and kick each of them in the face?”
Russell thought of the tragic scene below the inn. Looking at Clyde, he felt neither sarcasm nor sorrow, only deep worry and helplessness.
The home he remembered seemed truly gone forever.
Like spilled water, no matter how he tried, he couldn’t gather it back.
Russell felt as if his heart were being cut by a knife.
Everyone in the room was stunned by his words.
The air was silent for a few seconds.
Then, Clyde’s eyes widened as he exclaimed, “Russell, what are you talking about? My mentors are Sullivan of Lakeburgh. When they fight together, their strength ranks in the top ten…”
His eyes were full of disbelief.
He would rather believe his ears were failing than accept what Russell said.
Raul was also stunned, staring at Russell and asking, “Russell, what did you just say? Who died?”
Suddenly, he was no longer as confident as before.
Margaery had only just begun learning martial arts. She was not worth mentioning.
However, the ones who attacked Clyde last time were members of Stormshade Hall.
Although the possibility is low, what if it happens?‘ Raul thought.
“What if, once again, Stormshade Hall is guarding Margaery? In that case, Lakeburgh Sullivan…
A chill crept up his spine.
Raul couldn’t even imagine it.
Russell observed their reactions, his heart growing even more cynical. He spoke, enunciating each word, “I am telling you, Lakeburgh Sullivan went to assassinate Margaery, but the guards from Prince Dashnell’s residence first used Energy- Dissolving Powder, then beheaded them. The corpses are now beneath the inn, separated from their heads.”
“Moreover, the people from Prince Dashnell’s residence have already reported to the authorities.”
He looked at his father and brothers, somewhat disappointed, “Joshua, you just returned from the magistrate’s office not long ago, didn’t you?”
“Now, how do you explain this?”
“Last time, when Mark died, the magistrate’s office could turn a blind eye, at most letting others suspect a little. But now?”
Russell looked at Clyde. “Lakeburgh Sullivan are Clyde’s mentors, yet they went to assassinate Margaery and were beheaded
“So many people at the inn witnessed it. Even Warren and Dr. Fischer were present!”
“Now, with both eyewitnesses and physical evidence, how can you explain it? Are you going to say the Wallen family has nothing to do with them? Who would believe that?”
