Chapter 262 Confession.

Bill scanned the bloodstained floor, his face dark with fury.

Sure, he didn't exactly like the Wilchers either. Over the years, they'd been under his protection, like incompetent children who couldn't fend for themselves.

But no matter how much he disliked them, they were still family.

"Fix my family? This is how you fix the family?"

Carter's expression remained calm. "Haven't seen it done this way before? Well, now you have."

He didn't want me to see this ruthless side of him.

Damian, ever the reliable right-hand man, stepped in immediately, taking the knife from Carter.

Mr. Carter, your health is too fragile for this. Why not let me handle it?"
