Chapter 633: Retribution on Her Descendants
Alexander didn't say a word and directly mentioned Owen's name.
In an instant, Owen's tragic experience as a child, when he was abducted by Fiona and then kidnapped by traffickers and thrown off a cliff, which led to him living in the cliffs for twenty years, appeared before everyone's eyes.
The old patriarch was so angry that tears streamed down his face. "That damn Fiona, to torment my great-grandson in such a way, how many generations of the Ashford family does she plan to harm?"
He immediately ordered his ten wives, "Quickly investigate whether Fiona is dead or alive!"
Alexander said, "No need for an investigation. She, her daughter Hailey, and two accomplices are all in prison, sentenced to death and will be executed in one month!"
"She's not dead yet!" the old patriarch said to his ten wives again, "Starting tonight, all of you take turns torturing her in prison, including her daughter Hailey. Make sure to make their lives worse than death!"
"Very well!" all ten wives replied in unison.
The old patriarch suddenly thought of something more important and said, "Alexander, that damn Fiona has a grandson, doesn't she? She has caused immense harm to the Ashford family for generations, we cannot let her descendants off easily. We must make sure to torment her grandson to death!"
Upon hearing this, Ivy immediately panicked.
"Alexander..."
She hurriedly tried to think of a solution.
Alexander also didn't want anything to happen to Leo and quickly said, "Old patriarch, Leo is innocent. Not long ago, in order to apologize to the deceased souls of the Ashford family, he even jumped off a cliff in a suicide attempt!"
"Is he dead?" the old patriarch asked with a cold expression.
"No... we saved him!" Alexander said fearfully.
"You foolish fool! Who told you to save him? That damn Fiona, who caused the death of many generations of the Ashford family! Why did you save him? Who gave you permission to save him?" the old patriarch scolded.
Ivy knew that the old patriarch's anger was not easily quellable. Judging from his tone, he definitely wouldn't spare Leo.
In order to protect Leo, she quickly said, "Old patriarch, um... actually, saving him was a ruse. Torturing him is the real plan. Just think about it, Fiona, that old lady..."
"Ugh, that damn woman!" the old patriarch corrected angrily.
"Yes, that damn Fiona..." Ivy felt embarrassed to say those three words, so she changed her wording and said, "That despicable animal, worse than a dog or pig. She has caused so many deaths in our Ashford family. How can we let her descendants off so easily?
Leo thought that as long as he died, the enmity between the Ashford family and the Lewis family would be wiped away..."
"He's dreaming!" the old patriarch shouted angrily.
"Yes, he's dreaming too beautifully!" Ivy said indignantly, "His life is not enough to avenge the deaths in our Ashford family. We must-"
"How can we offset the lives of so many members of the Ashford family? It is for this reason that Alexander and I saved him, not to forgive him, but to have a better revenge on him!"
"It is indeed necessary to seek revenge!" the elder asked Alexander, "Have you figured out how to avenge him? If not, I, the elder, have ten thousand ways to make that boy Leo suffer every day!"
Alexander, "..."
Poor cousin Leo, how will I save you?
"Just by looking at your expression, I can tell you haven't figured out a way to retaliate!" the elder immediately instructed the butler, "Bring me 'Ten Thousand Ways to Take Revenge on Someone' and 'The Ultimate Guide to Making Their Lives Miserable Every Day'!"
