Chapter 32 Repaying a Hundredfold
The Hall family's other villas had all been foreclosed by the bank, and now the Hall family members were homeless and renting places to live.
This villa was the private property of Roxanne from the Hall family.
Last time, Frederick auctioned off some worthless items. Due to his influence, many wealthy people spent money to buy those worthless things.
Although he was dead, the money ended up in Roxanne's hands.
Even though she was a woman, after Kevin and Frederick died, she became the one supporting the Hall family. Now, the Hall family members were all relying on Roxanne, hoping she could lead the Hall family to rise again.
In the villa, on the second floor.
On the bed lay a man in his fifties.
Beside him stood a woman in a white dress.
The woman was Roxanne. Although she was in her thirties, she was well-maintained, looking like a girl of eighteen or nineteen.
She had a slim figure, delicate features, and a beautiful face. Her long hair fell over her shoulders, and with her slightly transparent dress, she exuded allure and charm.
"Mr. Williams, when are you going to fulfill your promise?" Roxanne looked at the old man, Tom Williams, who was lying on the bed wearing only underwear.
Tom was a big shot who knew many influential people.
Now that the Hall family had been liquidated and bankrupt, with all their assets seized, Roxanne was trying to use all her connections to reclaim some of the Hall family's properties.
Tom looked at the stunning Roxanne and said with a smile, "Don't worry, I will definitely get it done for you. You know, Leo used legitimate channels to bankrupt the Hall family, so I need to handle many things."
Roxanne walked over, snuggled into Tom's arms, and said coquettishly, "Mr. Williams, I've given you five million dollars already. It's been so long; give me an exact time."
"Soon, very soon, just a few days," Tom said with a smile.
However, in his heart, he was mocking her, 'Bitch, now that the Hall family is in trouble and Frederick is dead, the Hall family can never return to its peak. The money you gave me, I've already lost it. If it weren't for the money, I wouldn't bother with you, a bitch who has slept with many men.'
Roxanne said, "Mr. Williams, don't worry. Once we get back the Hall family's fixed assets, you'll get your share of the benefits, and I'll be yours too."
At this moment, the door was kicked open.
"Who?" Tom shuddered and quickly turned over to get up.
Seeing the masked man who kicked the door open, he trembled with fear.
He fell off the bed while trying to put on his clothes and said, "No, it's not my business. I don't know anything. I'll leave right now."
Having lived in Sunset City for so long, he definitely knew this masked man.
This masked man was the one who killed Kevin and Frederick.
Roxanne also trembled when she saw Larry kick the door open.
Larry walked step by step.
Tom hurriedly put on his clothes and tried to escape.
However, a pair of big hands grabbed him and forcibly threw him back onto the bed.
He curled up in fear, not daring to say a word, afraid of angering the masked man.
"Who are you, and what deep hatred do you have with the Hall family?" Roxanne calmed down after the initial shock and stared at Larry.
Larry took off his mask.
"You?" Roxanne stared at Larry with a puzzled look. "The Lewis family's son-in-law, Larry?"
"Yes." Larry did not deny it.
"Larry?" Roxanne suddenly remembered something and exclaimed, "You're Ryan's son, Larry?"
Larry nodded. He pulled up a chair and sat by the bed, calmly lighting a cigarette.
The large room was eerily silent, with only the sound of burning tobacco.
Tom curled up on the bed, not daring to say a word.
Roxanne's face was gloomy and terrifying. Now, she finally knew who had destroyed the Hall family.
She asked, "Larry, what do you want?"
Larry laughed.
His laugh was sinister and terrifying. "Roxanne, how dare youask me what I want?
"Because of you, my grandfather became a laughingstock in Sunset City.
"Because of you, my father had a heart attack, and you pushed him from the third floor, claiming it was a suicide out of guilt.
"Because of you, the Four Great Families gathered at my home, kidnapped more than thirty members, and a fire burned more than thirty people to death. Now, you're asking me what I want?"
At this moment, Larry was like a tiger breaking out of its cage, exuding a menacing aura.
His roar made Roxanne panic.
Roxanne was scared, truly scared.
She was a smart person. After Larry killed her father, Kevin, and her brother, Frederick, these matters were forcibly covered up. She knew that the current Larry was no longer the weak boy from ten years ago.
She said, "Larry, I'm still your stepmother, you..."
Larry stood up and slapped her.
The slap was so strong that Roxanne's body was thrown onto the bed. Her fair face instantly swelled, and blood oozed from her mouth.
Larry grabbed her hair, pressed her head onto the bed, and brought the lit cigarette close to her face.
He did not sympathize with her just because she was a woman.
He still remembered the unwilling expression on his grandfather's face before he died.
He still remembered the scene of his father being pushed down the stairs.
He could never forget the scene of the Bennett family members being tied up and burned.
Roxanne let out a painful roar.
Tom, already terrified, rolled off the bed and curled up in the corner, not daring to say a word.
Larry roared word by word, "Roxanne, when you approached my father, framed my grandfather, framed my father, and destroyed the Bennett family, did you ever think this day would come?
"Roxanne, as long as you live, the thirty-eight souls of the Bennett family can never rest in peace!"
"Larry, I was wrong. I really know I was wrong. You've already destroyed the Hall family. Please spare me." At this moment, Roxanne no longer had her former nobility and elegance. She was extremely humble, constantly begging for mercy.
Larry took out a switchblade.
He suddenly slashed Roxanne's face, leaving a shocking wound. Blood dripped down her neck, staining her white dress.
Roxanne's face twisted in pain, and she couldn't even scream.
Larry added, "Ten years ago, Chloe risked her life to pull me out of the fire, saving my life. She is my savior, but the Hall family tortured her in every possible way.
"The suffering Chloe endured, I will make the Hall family repay a hundredfold.
"Don't worry, I won't kill you. I want you to know what despair is. I want you to feel that living is worse than dying."
Larry raised his hand and slashed again.
"I was wrong, Larry. Please spare me," Roxanne kept begging.
Larry threw down the switchblade, sat on the chair by the bed, and looked at Roxanne, whose face was covered in blood and who looked terrifying.
He asked, "Where is the Artwork of Moonlit?"
