Chapter 7 Beaten Up & Humiliated

"what!"

Sett's face was drained of color as he heard his sister's frantic voice and the sound of something breaking in the background, being mixed with the shouts of men.

Damn it! Sett cursed as he gritted his teeth in anger.

They better pray that his sister and the others are alright! He knew that the masterminds behind this were his aunt and uncle.He always hated them to the core, as they were quite sadistic.

The Crossword main house had already confiscated his parents' properties, and the only thing they had left was the old, dilapidated mansion.

Nonetheless, they keep insisting on selling the old mansion! They were just too much.

Sett let out a breath with a worried expression on his face.

"Ms.Scarlett, ask your men to hurry up! I'm worried that something may have happened to my sister.I won't be able to forgive myself."

Ms.Scarlett nodded to assure Sett as she commanded the driver to pick up speed.Sett anxiously gazes at the faraway hill.

They were getting close to his house, yet the wait felt like a century.

Suddenly, Sett flinched as Ms.Scarlett tapped his shoulders.

"Mr.Crow, I know your Aunt Claire.At one point, I saw her attending the Laker family party.We managed to dig up some information about her.If she's the one sending those men to trash your home...You have to be careful."

Ms.Scarlett hesitated as she was saying that.She wanted to tell Sett that she suspected that his Aunt Claire and Uncle Tom had something to do with his parents' having an accident, but she feared that Sett still lacked trust in her.

After all, it wasn't long before they had met.

Without evidence, her words would merely fall flat on the ground, or worse, it would put a strain on their relationship.

Upon hearing that, Sett felt troubled.

Ms.Scarlett was right.He had to be especially cautious around his snobbish aunt, Claire.She was the type of lady who had a sharp tongue and probably wouldn't hesitate to murder a family member...

However, Sett was still holding on to the fact that blood is thicker than water.Or maybe he was being too naive?

"Thank you for the warning, Ms.Scarlett."Sett bowed his head at her.He was grateful that she really cared for him.Ms.Scarlett's face flushed.It was at this moment that the car came to a grinding halt.

"We've arrived at your house...Mr.Crow, are you sure you wouldn't want our help? If you'd like, I can arrange a few bodyguards at your house." Ms. Scarlett was apprehensive that something might happen to Sett.

"There's no need for that. I can take care of my own problems."

Sett refused to accept help from others because this was a family matter and he didn't want outsiders prying into his problems.

"No? That's too bad then, but if you are in any trouble, feel free to contact me, Mr.Crow.If there's nothing more, farewell."

Ms.Scarlett forced a smile, but she looked somewhat disappointed.

Ms.Scarlett pushed the briefcase into Sett's hands, and after they left, Sett scratched his head while holding onto the heavy briefcase.

Actually, he had no idea what it was for, but regardless, he knew that it was important.Sett waited for the Rolls-Royce to move far away until he couldn't see it anymore.

Finally, he could let out a breath.
