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."

As soon as the words left his mouth, Carter's blade came down again, swift and precise.

Carter had assumed I was still upstairs comforting Philippa. The moment he saw me, his bloodied knife. still in hand, his usually calm gaze flickered with panic

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?"

The others who had witnessed Carter's brutal efficiency looked at Damian like he'd lost his mind. "Fragile? Did he think they were blind or deaf?" Carter's eyes softened as he looked at me. "Why did you come down? Did the noise disturb you?"
