Chapter 278
Orson stepped forward and grabbed Finnian by the collar.
“Now you don’t dare have any adierior motives, huh? So you teams up with Sophia and secretly follow me around Were you planning to love her seduce me, or him?” Orson hissed through gritted teeth.
Onson had taken pity on Finnan all those years ago and convinced his parents to bring him into the family. After raising him for so long, Finnlan ended up with nothing but a treacherous ingrate.
“No, no! That’s not it I don’t know her well, and I have no idea why she’s here. Finnian quickly distanced himself from any
Finnian wasn’t the top–tier celebrity he used to be anymore.
blame
After finishing that variety show, he crashed hard. His resources dried up, his fans disappeared, and even his manager stopped answering his calls. His agency didn’t officially tie him, and they basically locked him away, burying him in silence.
Reality had slapped him across the face.
“Finnian, what are you talking about? Didn’t you block me at the hospital entrance?” Sophia wastit 100 naive to figure it out.
was startled, her face paling. At this point, even she
Finnian had been using her to seduce Orson. If he succeeded, he could worm his way back into the Lark family, if not, he’d just throw her under the bus
She had never known before, but now she realized how disgusting this man could really be.
“What are you talking about? I never blocked you!” Finnian grew desperate.
Sophia suddenly burst into manic laughter. Realizing she couldn’t seduce anyone tonight, and seeing that none of these men were interested in her, she understood that she was being played.
If they really wanted her, they would’ve already taken her down. But they hadn’t.
Now she just wanted to get away from them. Otherwise, if any of them got mad, she’d be in serious trouble.
“Is that so?” Sophia sneered
She’d learned her lesson by now. Whenever she encountered Finnian, she’d record their conversations.
“As long as you seduce Orson and help me get back into the Lark family, I’ll find a way to secure the Lark family’s inheritance. Once the Lark family is in trouble, it will all be mine to control
“You just have to follow my lead. Once I succeed, all the entertainment industry resources will be at your disposal. I’ll even make sure the Lark Group partners with the Bennett family. When the Bennett Group rises, you’ll be the one to thank You’ll be the Bennett family’s hero.
I get t
the Lark family, you get the Bennett Group, and together, we’ll rule.” Finnian’s voice rang out arrogantly.
Every word was clear and distinct, reaching everyone’s cars.
Finnian had been trying to defend himself, but now, hearing his own words, he almost collapsed as if the weight of his actions finally hit him
“No, no, this must be fabricated! This voice is definitely Al–generated. Orion, don’t believe her! She’s always had bad intentions. She framed Odalys before, and now she’s trying to do the same to me!” Finnian shook his head violently.
Once the proud, aloof figure, he now appeared nothing but a petty, spineless man.
Onon looked at him with disgust in his eyes. “This is who he is! After all these years, this is the man who had the gall to call himself a Lark With a sharp, sudden motion, Orson kicked Finnian aside, causing him to stumble to the ground. Orson marched over, standing tall before him. “You really are nothing but an illegitimate child. You can’t stand in the light; you’re just filth that can’t rise to the occasion.
“It was your mother who drugged my father, causing her to get pregnant with you. She secretly gave birth to you, hoping to use you to provoke my mother, trying to rise to the position of a mistress. I felt sorry for you being so young, so I had my mother bring you back to raise you
“I thought that with the blood of the Lark family running through your veins, your character wouldn’t be so bad. Seems like you’ve only inherited your mother’s filth, Orson said, his voice heavy with disappointment.
Chayeer 2’s
Timman epeised his month, but no wonds came out.
Chison, you’re nothing special host because you’re a little luckier than me, do you really think you’re better?” Finnian spat, suddenly pulling a knife from bas penket and lunging at Cru
Orson didist finch. He stood there, watching Finnian charge, and just as the knife came close to striking him, he grabbed Finian’s wrist with a Awit forceful twist
With a sharp crack. Finnian let out a mutted grunt of pain as the knife slipped from his hand.
Oron immediately kicked him hard in the leg Finnian looked at him in shock, feeling a sharp pain shoot through his leg as if it had gone completely numbs
“Ah you you my leg” Finian cried out in agony, falling to the ground.
He stared at has leg, unable to move it, and then at his wrist. Hatred and resentment filled his heart at this moment. How dare he do this to me! I’ll make him regret it, he wondered.
“This time, I’ve only broken your leg and wrist. If I catch you scheming like this again, don’t think you’ll ever show your face in Crownridge again,” Drson und coldly
He picked up the knife and handed it to one of the bodyguards. “Take him back and dump him on the street.
“Understood, the bodyguard replied. After taking the knife, he roughly haulled Finnian to his feet and tossed him into the nearby car.
Percival, watching from the side, spoke in a low voice. “Wait”
The bodyguard, seeing him, quickly approached but dared not make eye contact. He also didn’t dare address him as “Mr. Stewart As Orson’s secret bodyguard, he knew the situation surrounding the Stewart family.
The rumors had been circulating that Percival was dead, so it was crucial to keep it that way, especially out in public
“Take her as well. Throw her back to the Bennett family. Tell them to keep an eye on their adopted daughter and make sure she doesn’t embarrass herself again. Tell them that a woman who likes to seduce men like that is truly disgusting.” Percival said, his voice chilling
Sophia’s face immediately drained of color.
She tried to get up, but her injuries, combined with the blow from Callum, left her barely able to move. She wanted to explain, to get up and leave. but her body simply wouldn’t cooperate.
The bodyguards roughly dragged her away and shoved her into the car. The car sped off into the night. The villa fell completely silent as the cold night air settled in
I can’t believe Finnian would still follow me around, trying to have Sophia seduce me. That’s just…” Orson was furious. The Lark family had never had such morally corrupt people among them. Finnian was the one exception.
There was a moment of silence. Callum
“He wanted to take your place. No wonder Odalys looks down on him so much, Percival said in a low voice. T remained quiet.
“Any findings upstairs?” Percival asked, his voice steady.
Callum and Orson shook their heads. “We searched the villa. The layout’s a bit odd, almost like some kind of good setup, but other than that, nothing unusual,”
Then dig here,” Percival said quietly, raising his hand toward a nearby pit
Orson and Callum both looked at the location he pointed to. It was the same spot where they had previously dug up bodies. The yard had several such pit
“Isn’t this where they bury people! This is a grave

Orson gasped.
Percival remained sent, only responding in a deep voice, “Dig”
“Alright.” Orson nodded. He and Callum fetched the necessary tools, and the three of them started digging into the deep pit. Initially, all they encountered was wet soil, and there didn’t seem to be anything unusual
But after digging deeper, a strong pungent smell of blood suddenly hit them.
“Ugh, what’s that smell? Callum exclaimed, taken aback
Chapter 278
The familiar stench of blood made Orson’s eyes light up. This this is the blood–soaked earth buried beneath mountain villages,” he said, his tone
“That’s the smell,” Orson allinned.
