Chapter 28
Adrian’s face turned extremely embarrassed, but he didn’t dare to make any rash moves.
Oliver didn’t even spare Adrian a glance and slowly strode toward Victoria.
“Hey, Victoria. Did you just suggest removing Mom from the family cemetery?” Oliver’s voice was low and soft.
“Yes! Dad never loved her. With her family’s power, she forced Dad to marry her!” Victoria shouted, suppressing her pain.
Qliver lowered his gaze and chuckled, sending shivers down everyone’s spine.
In the next moment, his leather shoe stomped on Victoria’s fingers and started grinding. The manor’s courtyard echoed with Victoria’s screams of agony. In comparison, Oliver’s calm face seemed more gruesome.
Natalie was so shocked that she could hardly breathe. She finally understood why the Windsors‘ expressions changed drastically upon seeing Oliver.
Natalie had heard of Oliver’s bad temper, but seeing it firsthand sent shivers down her spine. In hindsight, his previous treatment of her seemed truly kind.
“Oliver, she’s your sister! Let her go!”
Henry felt sorry for Victoria and tried to persuade Oliver but failed. Others did not dare to approach Oliver.
Adrian could only watch helplessly as Oliver tortured Victoria. Unfortunately, he had no power over Oliver.
Meanwhile, Natalie was not only shocked by Oliver’s ferocity but she was also shocked by Adrian’s cowardice. After all, Victoria was Adrian’s mother. Yet, Adrian did not dare to openly defy Oliver. She could not help but wonder why she fell for such a coward earlier.
“Victoria?” Oliver said indifferently. Looking down at her like a king surveying his servant, he asked, “Do you know what you did wrong?”
“I’m sorry!” The pain and fear of death completely destroyed Victoria. The tough woman was gone. She immediately begged for mercy, and her previous arrogance was nowhere to be found.
“I’m sorry! I’m sorry, Oliver! I shouldn’t have disrespected your mother! Please forgive me!”
“My mother isn’t someone you can speak ill of,” Oliver warned as he finally reined in his wrath. Then, he said to the crowd, “Call a doctor. Hopefully, she
won’t lose a limb.”
He sounded so sincere, acting like he was not the culprit of Victoria’s injuries.
Shivering, a servant looked at Henry for confirmation before dashing off to call the doctor.
“All of you, stay. Since I’m back, let’s have a meal together.”
Oliver’s order eliminated their hope of using Victoria as an excuse to flee.
Adrian was furious, but he had to suck it up. He said, ‘Oliver… Uncle Oliver, I think I shall accompany Mom to the hospital.”
Oliver sneered, “You think?”
No one forbade Adrian to have such thoughts. But thinking about it was enough. In other words, no matter what Adrian wanted, Oliver’s order came first,
Soon, Victoria was brought away, and the bloody floor was swiftly wiped clean by the servants. In just a few minutes, everything returned to normal. Apart from Victoria’s absence, no traces of what had just happened could be seen.
At this moment, Oliver beckoned to Natalie. “Come here.”
Natalie collected herself immediately. She assumed he was asking for the gun, so she quickly walked over and handed the cold gun to him with both hands.
“Hold on to it,” Oliver said. When he saw her pale face, he could not help but tease her with a mocking smile, “Are you scared?”
EbNo,
Natalie nodded instinctively, but then she shook her head after realizing the situation. She thought, Oliver is truly a demon!”
Oliver wasn’t convinced.

He knew what she was thinking about, but he chose not to expose her. Instead, he glanced at the maid standing nearby.
The maid understood immediately and asked respectfully, “What can I do for you, sir?”
