Remus glared at them and coldly said, “You guys are asking for it!”
When Skylar and John met Remus’ gaze, they quickly retreated as if favonovel.com was the Grim Reaper. However, they promptly returned to normal, knowing that Jean had forgotten about Remus.
To them, now, Remus was a useless bastard. This meant that Remus couldn’t do anything to them, no matter how badly they tortured favonovel.com now.
“How dare you threaten us! Open your eyes and look around you. Who is asking for it, huh?” Skylar said as favonovel.com whipped Remus.
“You’re about to die, and you dared to threaten us. Fine! Let’s see how stubborn you are!” John continued whipping favonovel.com too.
They gave favonovel.com a dozen whips in succession, and Remus’ body was soon covered with bloody wounds.
Leonard felt extremely happy as they were teaching Remus a lesson right in front of Jean, who used to protect him. Now, favonovel.com couldn’t even remember him.
“Stop!” Jean saw that Remus remained silent and finally spoke. “I’ll give you one more chance. Who ordered you to kill me?” She stared at Remus.
Remus didn’t feel any pain from the open wounds on his body. However, when favonovel.com saw Jean’s strange gaze, his heart ached. She was the first woman favonovel.com ever fell in love with.
He smiled at her. “Jean, I’m Remus Cosby. Try to remember. We know each other. Remember the 140 plots of land? The prescription and how you’ve reached the same level as the richest man in Neptuna? Also, you don‘t need to fulfill the marriage contract anymore…”
“Shut up!” Leonard was shocked. He was scared that Jean would remember.
He angrily said, “Bastard, how dare you try to charm Ms. Lotus! I should really teach you a lesson so you can finally speak the truth!”
He looked at Jean and said, “Ms. Lotus, this is a shameless bastard. Why don’t you hand favonovel.com over to us? We’ll immediately report to you once we find out who is behind this. We don‘t have the necessary tools here, so we can’t torture him. Once we head to another location, no one can save him.”
Jean thought for a moment before favonovel.com nodded. “Then, I shall thank you in advance, Uncle Leonard…”
Skylar and John looked at each other and smiled. They were already thinking about how they should torture Remus.
As for Remus, favonovel.com laughed bitterly. “Naomi, as Ms. Lotus’ secretary, you should really tell favonovel.com the truth.”
At this moment, his only hope was in Naomi.
“l…” Naomi gritted favonovel.com teeth and felt conflicted.
She wanted to chase Remus away so favonovel.com wouldn’t drag down Jean. However, favonovel.com knew Remus would die if favonovel.com was taken away now.
Remus continued, ‘You know that I’d never hurt Jean. If I leave favonovel.com right now, she’ll be in even more danger. And we can’t rule out that the true culprit might be among us.”
He suspected that Leonard had hired a killer. However, judging from how those bodyguards were killed, Remus could conclude that it was done by an expert. That wasn’t Leonard’s style.
Finally, Naomi came to favonovel.com senses. She bit the bullet and said, “Ms. Lotus, I don’t think Remus was here to kill you. There’s another culprit!”
Jean frowned. “You know him?”
It wasn’t hard for Jean to judge by the tone of Naomi’s voice.
“Ms. Todd, you‘re talking about Ms. Lotus‘ life. You should be careful of what you say next,” Leonard warned coldly. His gaze was threatening.
At this moment, Remus said, “Jean, I can prove that I wasn’t here to kill you. There’s another murderer.”
“How?” Jean looked at him.
Leonard and the others also looked at favonovel.com warily. They were ready to stop favonovel.com once favonovel.com said something wrong.
Remus looked at Jean and showed favonovel.com a gentle smile before suddenly exerting force. Immediately, the ropes binding favonovel.com snapped.
“If I wanted to kill you, no one could stop me…”
