l wat hard to believe he hadn’t come all thus way the protect the Bar of Fortune.
urthermore, with these ten showing up, it meant not only Margaery and Dashnell saw through the Wallen family’s farce. but even the king was aware.
What awaited the Wallen family would likely be utter ruin very on
It really didn’t matter whether Warren laughed at it or not.
What matters was how the King would view the Wallen family after this incident.
Russell’s heart trembled. He wished he could rush down to stop aul, Joshua, and the others.
However, before he could move, Dashnell glanced at him.
That glance seemed ordinary, yet it made Russell’s whole body turn cold. He could not move, nor could he utter a single word.
If he dared to act rashly today, he would be the first to die.
Russell had no doubt about the ruthlessness of Dashnell.
He could only choose to keep silent and watch the scene unfold.
Below, Joshua dragged Keaton out of the carriage.
Keaton had been brutally beaten by Joshua inside the carriage, and with the severe poison in her body, she was now tormented to the point of being neither human nor ghost.
Other than the rough linen clothes he wore and the red string that Margaery always had around her wrist, there was nothing else to be seen.
Coupled with the previous rumors that Margaery had been poisoned, rendered mute, and disfigured, Tessa saw her attire and immediately assumed she was Margaery.
Seeing Margaery in such a state truly delighted her.
But that was not enough.
The main event she had planned had yet to begin.
Tessa let out a silent, cold laugh, then began her act with heartfelt emotion, calling out to Raul, “Father, save me!”
As she spoke, she burst into tears on the spot. The tears came instantly, and her voice was unbearably miserable.
It was as if she had been completely terrified.
That crying, that pitiful state, was enough to break any parent’s heart.
Raul heard her cry and was nearly frozen with shock.
“Tessa!”
Raul’s eyes reddened. Seeing Tessa with a dagger pressed to her neck, he became utterly flustered. “The person you has been brought! Let Tessa go, now!”

Chapter 213
He was so nervous test his voice changed purely
Little did he know, buh Tea and the kidnappers Enjoyed seeing him like this.
Leo even whispered in Tessa’s eat wn had
Tessa was quite pleased. Men, huh!
“He really does care alsout you. If he werend your energy, being his daughter wouldn’t be
The two whispered to each other, but the Wallen family misunderstood.
Joshua even thought that Leo was threatening Tessa.
He threw Keaton to the ground, yanked her hair, forcing her disfigured face to face Leo and Tessa, and hurriedly said, “Margaery is here. Release Tessa.”
The burly butcher, gripping Tessa, was the very image of beauty and the beast. It seemed that if the butcher so much as moved a finger, Tessa would perish instantly.
Joshua thought of how he had not yet truly made Tessa his own, and a surge of unwillingness welled up in his heart.
Looking again at the butcher, he felt that the man had sullied Tessa.
Yet with the hostage in the butcher’s hands, all he could do was fantasize about rescuing Tessa and then tearing the butcher to pieces.
Keaton was under his control, her scalp nearly torn open.
Looking once more at Tessa and the butcher, he felt even more resentful.
How could she die at their hands?
“Mm… mm!” Keaton shook her head frantically, her eyes red as she looked at Tessa, gesturing wildly to signal her to stop acting, and she was not Margaery.
However, neither Tessa, the butcher, nor Albert recognized her.
They all mistook her for Margaery.
The butcher sneered, dragging Tessa toward the edge of the cliff squinting at Joshua. “What we want is far more than this!”
As he spoke, his gaze fell on Keaton. “This woman killed the most important person to us. If you want us to release Tessa today, do exactly as we say!”
Tessa was so desperate that she was nearly in tears, wailing miserably, “Father, help! Joshua, help! I finally have a father and brothers. I truly don’t want to die!”
Joshua’s heart shattered.
Raul was also devastated.
Even Avery furrowed his brow and said to the butcher, “Calm down, let’s first talk this through.”
“What do you want us to do?”
Joshua looked at the two by the cliff’s edge, his heart in his throat
He was truly afraid that these two kidnappers would push Tessa off.

Chapter 915
In this season, even a healthy person falling to that ley Pool would lose half their life. One careless moment and they’d die
in there
Let alone Tessa.
Her body was so delicate..
Thinking of this, Joshua felt a deep ache in his heart.
Leo looked at his nervous demeanor and let out a low laugh in Tessa’s ear, “Just as you predicted, they’ve truly gone mad for you.”
A flash of pride flickered in Tessa’s eyes and quickly vanished.
Leo turned to Joshua, pointed at Keaton, and declared, “Cut out her tongue for me. I want her to keep that mouth shut forever!”
How to murder Margaery had been decided in advance between him and Tessa.
Now, all that remained was to follow the script.
As Leo spoke, he pointed the dagger at Tessa’s mouth, gripping her chin with his other hand, making it appear as though he had her firmly under control.
“I’ll count to three. If you don’t act, then I’ll take Tessa’s tongue!”
Warren was stunned as he watched the scene unfold.
“Surely the Wallen family wouldn’t actually agree to such an outrageous demand, right? After all, Lady Margaery has lived in the Chancellor’s estate for a full sixteen years. Even if you were raising a kitten or a puppy, you’d have feelings for it by now.”
Margaery heard this, and a trace of sarcasm appeared in her eyes.
“Warren, you underestimate them.”
Warren was stunned, and then glanced at Russell.
Russell opened his mouth, wanting to remind the Wallen family, but Wayne came to his side, “Lord Russell, you should not have forgotten what I said.”
Russell could only choose to remain silent.
Meanwhile, Dashnell said nothing, simply holding tightly onto Margaery’s hand.
Only his trembling fingers betrayed his current emotions.
One day, he would make the Wallen family pay with their lives.
Everything they had once inflicted upon Margaery, he would return to them in full. None of them would escape.
Margaery sensed the fluctuation in his emotions.
Though tinged with murderous intent, it was like a warm current soothing her lifeless heart, giving her the courage to face today’s tragedy.
She glanced at Dashnell, then shifted her gaze downward.
“Joshua!”

Chapter 215
Tessa sobbed uncontrollably in ben’s arme
Her Intle face was deathly pale, as if she might die in the next manch
Joshua felt his mind buzz and shouted hoarsely, “Stop right now Do not touch her!
Before the words bad faded, the sword was already raised and brought down.
After the flash of the sword, a streak of blood followed, Keaton’s tongue fell from her mouth, her mouth filling with blood.
Keaton uttered a meaningless, muffled sound, chilling everyone to the core
“He actually did it!”
Russell felt his soul leave his body, as if he were witnessing again the scene Walter had once shown him. His heart nearly burst from his chest.
Wayne suddenly covered his mouth.
Keaton’s eyes wept blood as she was forced to kneel, looking up a Tessa, Leo, and Albert ahead.
Tessa was the one she had personally raised.
Leo and Albert were her subordinates, both recipients of her kindness,
they had become her executioners.
The most ironic part was that this scheme had been devised together by her and Tessa.
