Adam was sure that he was going to be locked away in the Dark Prison where he would be tortured to death.

With that thought in mind, he began to descend into madness.

He broke away from the two armed men holding him down and went straight for the gun lying in front of him.

“If I'm going down, I'm taking you both with me!” he shouted as he trained the weapon at the mother and daughter not far away.

Adam was determined to murder Wrenna and Charlotte while he still had a chance.

However, the moment Adam pulled the trigger, Harold swiftly lifted his leg and kicked Adam on the wrist.

Bang!

The gunshot resounded in the air, and in response, the mother and daughter both screamed in horror.

Even though Adam had missed, the loud noise was enough to frighten Wrenna and Charlotte.


When the armed men surrounding the Turner residence realized what had happened, they immediately fired at Adam, riddling the man with bullet holes.

The scene was so gory that little Charlotte passed out almost instantly.

“Take Char back into the house!” Harold quickly shouted at the dumbfounded Wrenna, who only regained her senses after that.

Then she hurriedly carried Charlotte back inside as instructed.

The brutes in black suits that Adam had brought with him soon ended up being taken away by the people of Paradise Hotel.

Even though murdering of the brutes was not necessary to prevent the leak of crucial information, they were warned to be discreet.

Charlotte regained consciousness shortly after Harold treated her in one of the rooms at the Turner residence.

“Mommy...” Charlotte cried. “I had a terrible nightmare just now. There were so many bad guys!” She threw herself at Wrenna. Even after waking up, she was still fear-stricken.

What surprised Harold was that the girl thought what had happened just then was simply a nightmare.

“You don't have to be afraid, Char. You just had a bad dream; it can't hurt you now that you're awake. Daddy and Mommy are here for you!” comforted Harold.

At that moment, Wrenna's other family members cautiously entered the room.

“Wait outside!” Harold shouted unceremoniously at the Turners.

If it were before, the three Turners would have scolded Harold for doing that.

After all, the house belonged to them.
