章節 257: Cutting ties

"I didn't want to do this, but I need you to go. Be grateful I don't have a gun to silence you. After all, dead men tell no tale."

As the last syllable rolled out of Cosette's tongue, she screamed her lungs out, asking for help. Her screams were so loud that they reached the people inside the mansion, while Ezekiel simply stood frozen. His grip on his wrists loosened, but Cosette grabbed his hand and pulled him down. 

Thud!

Cosette winced in pain, but she continued screaming, "get off of me! Let me go! Help!"

When Conrad, Maxen, Marcel, Gretchen, the old folks and adults from the Stone family, and the servants reached the garden, all they saw was Ezekiel on top of Cosette. Cosette was screaming her lungs out, asking for help, struggling underneath Ezekiel.
