Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Florence saw the anger on Eric’s face, but she acted like she didn’t see it. “Eric, I feel sad for the death of your son, but I’ve already sent someone to investigate it thoroughly.
“Actually, that woman Becky Sanders is the cause of everything. Maddy and the rest were happily shopping when Becky ran over and provoked her out of nowhere. She even deliberately brought your son into it and instigated him to deal with my goddaughter and future godson-in-law.
“Moreover, it was your son who took out a dagger and wanted to kill them. But in the end, Jordan crippled his limbs because he was too incompetent.
“At this point, it’s already clear what happened. Although your son’s limbs were crippled, his injuries weren’t fatal. But Becky abandoned your son after he lost consciousness and ran off on her own, causing him to miss the best treatment time and eventually die.”
“So, regardless of the cause or the outcome, the person to blame for your son’s death is neither my goddaughter nor Jordan, but Becky! Eric, don’t you agree?”
!!
Since Florence had decided to come to the Stones to help, she naturally came prepared and had already sent someone to thoroughly investigate the situation while on the way here.
Eric’s eyebrows twitched a few times, and he didn’t speak for a long time.
He knew that Florence had spoken the truth. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have sent people to drag Becky over.
But he was unwilling to admit that his son deserved to die and let Jordan, the person who had brutally crippled his son’s limbs and caused his eventual death, off the hook!

Becky, who was being pressed against the ground by the Bransons’ bodyguards, had a drastic change of expression after hearing what Florence said. She immediately broke out in cold sweat.
At this moment, she even wanted to play the same trick of twisting facts again and put all the blame on Maddy and Jordan. But in the end, she didn’t dare to speak up.
Florence was the head of the Howard family, and she had even acknowledged Maddy as her goddaughter. Florence probably wouldn’t listen to what she said, and she might even end up offending her.
With just Eric, Becky already felt that she was on the brink of death. If she offended the Howards, she would definitely die miserably!
Florence smiled and said firmly, “Eric, you know clearly what I’m talking about, so I’m taking these two with me today.”
With a gloomy look on his face, Eric remained silent. He was naturally unwilling to let Jordan off.
But suddenly, a loud and striking voice came from outside the gates of the Stone residence. “Eric Branson, don’t be fooled by that woman!”
Everyone was astonished and turned to look at the speaker, only to receive a great shock!
The man who spoke was Rayson Williams, the head of his family, and following him were 30 bodyguards and experts, who were streaming endlessly out of a long line of Mercedes-Benz cars. They each carried a formidable aura.
They immediately charged into the Stone residence, overwhelming everyone with their menacing auras.
“Rayson Williams!” Florence’s face turned gloomy when she saw the middle-aged man in front, and anger surged within her.
Previously, Rayson had brought twenty-odd subordinates to Felix’s funeral to help the Piers pressure Florence while her position as helmsman was yet to be stable. He had tried to gouge the Howards of their assets, but to no avail because of Lucas’s presence.
Now, Rayson actually showed up at the Stones with even more bodyguards, and the first thing he did was target Florence. Clearly, he was out to take revenge.
The Stones’ legs went limp when they saw so many people.
The reason the Williams brought so many bodyguards to the Stones was that Carlos had previously promised to let Maddy marry Rayson’s son Cody. But Maddy refused, so Rayson naturally came to settle the scores with her.
The Stones couldn’t help but look at Carlos, wanting him to come up with an idea quickly.
“Mr. Williams, you’re here too.” Eric smiled and went forward to greet Rayson.
Rayson had merely said a sentence just now, but Eric could immediately tell that Rayson had a feud with Florence. In that case, it was very likely that the Williams would side with the Bransons and fight against Florence together.
He refused to believe that Florence would dare to fight against the Bransons and Williams, two of the eight top families of DC, at the same time!
Rayson guffawed loudly and said to Eric, “Eric, I think you almost got fooled by this woman, Florence Howard! She’s not a kind soul. She actually killed her own father for the sake of becoming the head of the Howard family. A vicious woman like her deserves to die!
“Furthermore, she has nothing to do with the Stones, nor is she the godmother of Maddy Stone. She deliberately came here to fool you so that you would let them off because she wants to take over the Stones!
“Eric, you mustn’t be fooled or intimidated by her. If she tries to use her family to pressure you, I’ll stand by you and help you deal with her!”
Rayson’s words put Eric on cloud nine. It was exactly what he wanted to hear.
But Florence was hopping mad. “Shut up, Rayson William! My father died due to illness. If you continue slandering me and accusing me of killing my father to become the family head, I won’t spare you!”
“Haha, Florence, you dared to do it, but you don’t dare to admit it? Your family were the ones who revealed that you killed your father to take the position of helmsman. But, you’re saying that I’m slandering you? You know better than anyone else what the truth is! There are male heirs in your family. If you hadn’t seized the position of helmsman and driven your father to his grave, how could you have become the head of the Howard family?”
Rayson deliberately insisted that Florence didn’t get her position the rightful way. He wanted to insult her because the angrier she was, the happier he would be.
He had been forced to kneel and apologize at the Howard residence, and it had been bothering him like a thorn in his heart. Thus, he wanted to do everything possible to humiliate Florence and take revenge on the Howards!
Florence was indeed so angered by Rayson’s shameless slander that her body was trembling and she couldn’t even utter a single word.
But at this moment. she heard an indifferent voice from the side. “Rayson William, since you have a death wish, I’ll fulfill it for you!”

Lucas, who had been standing quietly in a corner, finally spoke!
