‘What? How could she be so cold?’
Hearing that the call had ended, Beatrice felt a little uncomfortable. ‘Now, the one who’s captured is your ex-mother–in-law, not my mother-in-law. Shouldn’t you be more nervous than me? Why do you act as if nothing happened? Could it be that you really have no more feelings for Alex at all?’
A lady’s mind was hard to fathom. If Dorothy were to show a look of panic and restlessness at this moment, she might still feel sour and uncomfortable in her heart. However, after seeing her sister’s indifference, she felt angry on Alex’s behalf.
At this moment, Maya Howards, Waltz Fleur, and Holly Yates, who had just recovered a bit from her injuries, also rushed to the lake from Rockefeller Manor.
Seeing the small boat located at the center of the lake and Brittany on it, Holly instantly said, “I’ll go there to save Godmother! I can’t let her fall into that old thief’s hands.”
However, she was held back by Waltz.
She said, “Have you forgotten the pain after your wound is healed? You’re no match for the old man. You’ll be seeking your death if you go there.”
Holly tugged at her hair anxiously as she said, “What should we do then? Oh, if my cousin is here, she would beat that old fart till he’s scared witless.”
Her words had caused Maya to question her. “Holly, do you still have a cousin? Don’t you have no family, friends, and relatives?”
“Huh?” Holly suddenly realized that she let the cat out of the bag, so she hurriedly remedied and said, “Did I say I have a cousin? Oh, right. I have a distant cousin whom I met when l was very young. She’s a prodigy in martial arts. She’s been more powerful than me since childhood. So many years have passed. She’s definitely more powerful than me now.”
Maya and Waltz looked at each other.
In fact, they had doubted Holly’s identity a long time ago. She was young and had decent cultivation. She had entered the path of cultivation as early as Alex too. Even now, she was also an existence with the strongest battle power among them other than Alex. Who would believe her that she was just an orphan?
However, Holly did not want to talk about it, so they pretended that they did not know it and did not see through her lies. A lady always had some secrets of her own. It would be fine as long as she did not have any malicious intention toward the family.
Waltz said, “Now, we can only wait for Senior to come back. Hopefully, he has a way to deal with the ancestor of the Witch Doctor Sect.”
Among the crowd on the shore, Carol Rockefeller was also there. Noah Rockefeller and Mariah Hamilton were also beside her.
Since Aunt Rockefeller burned down Noah’s villa before, the entire family had been bearing endless resentment toward Alex. They felt that Alex was the one who burned their villa down, resulting in the impulsive Noah almost running to Rockefeller Manor and wanting to burn the manor back then. In the end, he was still worried that Alex would come after them and kill their entire family out of anger. Only then did he force himself to endure it.
Facing Alex, who had astounding battle power, their family could not confront him head on.
Now that the ancestor of the Witch Doctor Sect had made his move and avenged them, they certainly had to come over and watch the good show unfolding. Through mini binoculars, Mariah was delighted to see Brittany sitting alone helplessly on the boat.
She smiled and said, “This b*tch, Brittany Rockefeller, always look aloof. Who would have thought that she would be in such a state today?! Hubby, look at this look of hers. Doesn’t she look like a spiteful widow very much? It’s so funny! Serve her right for being in such a misfortune… I anticipate the scene of her son rushing over and throwing away his life!”
“Let me have a look! Let me have a look!”
Noah took away the binoculars and looked into it, too. Then, he said, “I don’t know where Alex Rockefeller had learned his martial arts either. I’m not sure if he can escape from this old man’s hands. If he manages to survive this time, we need to prepare to escape to other countries then!”
Carol said, “Dad, rest assured. Didn’t you see it? The one who had rushed there just now is the patriarch of Michigan’s Stoermer family, and he’s a Grandmaster. Even a Grandmaster couldn’t break through the ancestor’s cordon. Do you think Alex Rockefeller can still escape from the palm of the ancestor? Hmph. He killed the young master of the Witch Doctor Sect, Levi Bayer. The Witch Doctor Sect will never let him off the hook”
Mariah asked, “Did Alex Rockefeller kill Young Master Bayer?”
“Who else do you think did it?”
“This damn b*stard. He really harms people everywhere he goes! Your ex-boyfriend, Seamus Owen, was also killed by him. Now this Young Master Bayer was also killed by him. Does he fancy you? Why else would he always make life difficult for your men?”
“Uh..?”
Mariah’s words had startled Carol.
