Chapter 105 Teach Esme a Lesson
George got pissed just looking at the info on the medical record. "Esme actually called me here just to treat Oliver? The Smith family deserves my help? Why not just let them rot!"
Then it hit him—he remembered hearing on the phone that Catherine was at the hospital, maybe even in the OB-GYN department.
'Damn it! The Smith family must be spreading rumors about Catherine! Just having someone rough them up before was too soft! This family is as greedy and heartless as Dylan said. Who knows what kind of life Catherine had before.' Just thinking about it made George's heart ache.
Catherine noticed George gritting his teeth at the medical record, like he wanted to rip it apart, and felt a bit puzzled. "George is usually the calmest one in the Windsor family."
"George, who's sick?" she asked.
George quickly put the medical record away and smiled gently. "Nothing, don't worry about it."
He patted Catherine's hair and exchanged a glance with Alexander. "Catherine, I'll go check it out. You eat first."
"Okay."
As soon as George walked out of the office, his warm smile vanished, replaced by a cold, piercing look.
Annie stepped forward and bowed. "Mr. Windsor, I'm Alexander's assistant. Esme is now in the underground parking lot."
Annie, being a sharp assistant, knew what to do the moment she saw George. 'The Windsor family is so protective; George must be looking for someone!'
"Lead the way," George said.
In the underground parking lot, Esme's mouth was covered with several layers of black tape, and she was tied to a concrete pillar.
She was surrounded by Ethan's assassins, unable to call for help!
'These people are terrifying! I can't believe I've already said I'm from the Windsor family, and they still dare to tie me up? Plus, they found a super hidden spot, and the cars around are all driven by Ethan, so no one will come by!' Esme thought, almost in despair.
The sound of leather shoes hitting the ground was particularly clear in the quiet parking lot.
George, wearing a white coat, walked in from the other side of the parking lot, his shiny leather shoes kicking up a cloud of dust, the light particles becoming his embellishment.
He walked against the light, his handsome face cold as ice, staring coldly at the people who had kidnapped Esme.
"May I know which group you belong to?" one of the assassins asked.
The assassins' eyes fell on Annie behind George as she quietly held up the Shadow Syndicate's emblem, making a gesture to the assassins.
"Could you leave this person to me?" George asked.
The assassins confirmed that Annie was from the Shadow Syndicate and lowered their guard towards George, asking, "Was the surgery successful?"
"Very successful, leave this to us," Annie said.
The assassins nodded, threw the end of the rope binding Esme to George, and quickly disappeared from the parking lot.
Seeing George, Esme was overwhelmed with excitement. 'Finally, someone comes to save me! I know the Windsor family can't lose me. I am still very important to the Windsor family. If it weren't for Catherine inexplicably returning from Serenitia City, I would still be the only little daughter of the Windsor family.'
Esme's mouth was still covered with tape, and she made a sound towards George with difficulty. George's cold gaze fell on her, making Esme shiver violently.
'Why is George looking at me like that?' Esme wondered.
George had always seemed like the most good-tempered one in the Windsor family, but Esme knew it was just a front. In reality, George was the scariest of them all! If she accidentally pissed off the other Windsor brothers, they might just yell at her. Philip and Richard talked tough, but they were actually softies. The least soft-hearted person in the entire Windsor family was the George standing in front of her!
Esme still remembered when she was a kid and accidentally broke George's favorite vase, he found ways to punish her for two whole months.
George bent down, picked up a small knife from the ground, and used the tip to lift a corner of the tape on Esme's mouth. He ripped it off mercilessly, making Esme scream in pain.
Tears burst out of her eyes, her mouth burning with pain, but she didn't dare say much under George's cold gaze. "George."
"Explain to me why you're here," George said coldly.
Esme racked her brains to come up with an excuse but got slapped in the face!
"George!" She screamed from the burning pain and tried to struggle, but George tightly gripped her jaw and warned, "You think you can mess with Catherine?"
"George, I didn't mess with Catherine, I was just scared. I heard Catherine secretly went to the OB-GYN department, I was worried something happened to her, so I followed. I really didn't mean anything else!"
George smiled, but there was no warmth in his eyes. "Really? Why did you assume Catherine went to the OB-GYN department? Let me guess, is it because if Catherine has a child with some man, the Howard family won't want her as a daughter-in-law, and the Windsor family will blame her?"
Esme's eyes filled with panic. "I didn't. How could I think that?"
Her little scheme was seen through by George, and she was completely flustered!
"You didn't look for trouble? Then the red mark on this assistant's face, did she hit herself for no reason?" George said.
Annie was also taken aback, thinking, 'George guessed it was Esme who hit me just by seeing the red mark on my face? Are the Windsor brothers all this smart?'
Esme was stunned too. 'I didn't expect this bitch to dare to complain! So what if I slapped Annie? I will be the future hostess of the Howard family. I will eventually fire these women.'
Esme glared viciously at Annie.
Seeing Esme's expression, George knew his casual guess was correct. "How stupid, you are a Windsor, yet you act recklessly outside. Alexander's assistant is his person. You hit Alexander's person, do you really think Alexander won't trouble you?"
"George, she's just an assistant..." Esme said.
George sneered, "You think I'm an idiot? Don't you know how the Smith family treats Catherine? Since you are in contact with them, you don't need to have any contact with the Windsor family anymore."
'What does that mean?' Esme wondered.
"George! I really know I am wrong! It was the Smith family who called me! I was too worried about Catherine, that's why I came. The Smith family raised Catherine for so many years and they all said Catherine was bad. I also wanted to know the truth," she said.
George's gaze at Esme was filled with disgust. "If you believe them over your own family, then go be a family member to the Smith family."
Esme's eyes widened in shock. "George, what does this mean?"
