Chapter 515 William and Hayden
"Sir, Madam."
In a flurry of urgency, Finn and Sophia rushed back home and arrived in half an hour.
On the way, Sophia, who had fainted, was briefly treated by the accompanying bodyguards and woke up. But at this moment, her legs felt weak, she felt helpless, and she even needed Finn's support to get out of the car.
The butler was waiting outside the door and immediately went to greet them when they returned.
"Is Nikolai really dead?" Finn, supporting Sophia, asked the butler with a grim expression.
The butler did not look good, looking at Finn and Sophia, furrowing his brow and nodding slowly.
Sophia looked at him, her knees going weak again, almost about to buckle, but Finn kept his support.
"Finn, Nikolai is my brother's lifeline!" Sophia looked at Finn, tightly grabbing his hand, tears streaming down her face as she spoke with sincerity.
Finn looked at her, patting the back of her hand, and asked the butler, "Where are they?"
"They are all in Miss's room." The butler replied respectfully, bowing his head.
Finn listened, his face becoming even darker as if a storm was about to descend, black and heavy. He said in a low voice, "Let's go and have a look."
"Yes, sir." The butler nodded and immediately followed Finn and Sophia's footsteps.
On the way back, Finn had already instructed that this matter must not be leaked in any way, otherwise, there would be no good days ahead.
Although Nikolai was Sophia's nephew, and Finn had always favored Sophia, he would not hand over his own daughter as a murderer to the authorities just because of Sophia's nephew. Otherwise, what reputation would his Lin family have?
Upstairs, Hayden and Jocelyn had already cleaned up and changed into fresh clothes. They knew that Finn and Sophia would be home soon, so the two of them sat on the sofa in the room, waiting for their return.
Although Jocelyn had cleaned up and had no blood stains on her body, she still curled up in Hayden's arms, extremely scared. Especially after hearing the footsteps of Finn and Sophia coming upstairs, she trembled even more, with a pitiful face and no color in her small childish lips.
Finn helped Sophia to the door of Hayden's room, glancing at Hayden, who was sitting on the sofa inside, holding a trembling Jocelyn in her arms. Hayden's face was extremely pale, but her expression appeared calm, leaving Finn with an indescribable feeling.
Looking at Finn and Sophia, Hayden stood up with Jocelyn in his arms from the sofa, calmly calling out, "Raymond, Aunt."
"Raymond, Aunt." Jocelyn looked at them, but she was trembling and couldn't even utter a complete title.
Finn wanted to be angry, but seeing his daughter in such a state, he couldn't muster any anger. However, Sophia was completely different. The hatred and resentment in her eyes when she looked at Hayden and Jocelyn, the sisters, were unprecedented. She even seemed like she wanted to rush forward and strangle them both to avenge Nikolai.
"Where is Nikolai?" Finn asked, taking a deep breath.
"He is in Miss's dressing room," the butler answered, his head lowered.
Finn furrowed his brows and glanced at Hayden and Jocelyn again before supporting Sophia and walking toward Hayden's dressing room.
"Oh! Nikolai!"
As they reached the entrance of the dressing room, they were met with a large pool of blood. And then they saw Nikolai, completely lifeless, lying on the carpet with his upper body naked and pants pulled down to his knees. His eyes were wide open, and a sculpting knife was still stuck in his chest, showing no sign of life. Sophia screamed and fainted again.
"Sophia!" Finn caught her just in time, holding her tightly as he instructed the butler, "Go, call the family doctor."
"Yes, sir." The butler quickly took out his phone and called the family doctor.
"Sister, what about Raymond?"
"Don't worry, he's fine. I'm here!" After Finn left, Hayden held Jocelyn's face and gently comforted her, speaking softly. As she spoke, she made a subtle gesture toward her.
Jocelyn understood and nodded in response.
After Finn carried Sophia back to her room, he didn't have time to deal with her any further. He gave a few instructions to the housekeeper to take care of her and swiftly went to Hayden's room.
When he returned, Hayden and Jocelyn were still standing there, embracing each other, both with pale faces. Especially Jocelyn, who was trembling uncontrollably.
