Chapter 472: Chapter 472: The Desperate Situation of Fendy Taylor!
Capital City, Mitchell Family!
Now, two days have passed since White Mitchell eradicated the Taylor Family.
During these two days, Fendy Taylor has repeatedly attempted to contact someone from the Taylor Family, but not a single servant has been encountered.
Moreover, those she sent out seemed to have disappeared into thin air, completely off the radar.
Phone calls went unanswered, people could not be found, and those she had dispatched mysteriously vanished.
All signs pointed to one problem– the Taylor Family met with disaster!
Having no other choice, Fendy Taylor had to send out her most reliable aide to inquire about the Taylor Family, and she stressed him to not get too close to the Taylor residence.
Finally, by evening, the man dispatched by Fendy appeared before her.
Her heart, which felt like a rock suspended in mid-air, relaxed a little.
“So, did you find anything?” Fendy Taylor asked anxiously.
Wood Taylor was her biggest support in Capital City, her only remaining one.
If Wood were to fall, it would spell catastrophe for her!
She knew that a significant reason why the members of the Mitchell Family were willing to obediently follow her orders was because they had something to pin on the Taylor Family.
As for that something, Wood Taylor was discreet about it, not daring to tell even her. His only instruction was to get Benjamin Mitchell into the Eight Sect at all costs.
Now, Benjamin Mitchell had indeed joined the Eight Sect, but it would still be a few days until he returned.
And just at the crucial moment, Wood had disappeared.
The situation left Fendy Taylor with a feeling of great danger. She had to locate Wood.
Faced with Fendy’s question, her aide didn’t dare to hesitate and hastily began to speak, “Miss, I did as instructed, I went out to find information about Sir Taylor, but I did not approach the Taylor house. I only dared to gather information from the nearby market.
According to the local residents, two days ago, they saw several soldiers in white uniforms wandering around the vicinity of the Taylor residential area.
So I suspect that Sir Taylor was captured by the White War Department!”
What!?
Faced with this news, Fendy Taylor felt as if she had been struck by lightning, her face turned pale in an instant.
“My brother is always careful. How could he have provoked the people of the White War Department!? Did you verify this? Are you sure it’s true?” Fendy Taylor asked in a serious tone.
The aid nodded in response, “I’ve asked quite a few people, everyone had the same story. Not only that, it seemed like I was being watched while I was gathering information. If I hadn’t slipped away quickly, I would not have been able to return.”
In actuality, Fendy’s aide didn’t know that he hadn’t lost the people following him at all.
Those who were tailing him had intentionally let him know about their presence.
Their aim was to let him take the news back to Fendy.
As for who these people were, they were naturally arranged by White Mitchell, who intended to make Fendy panic, to slowly let her taste the experience of walking towards ruin step by step.
Just as White Mitchell anticipated, after Fendy Taylor confirmed the news, she collapsed lifelessly onto the sofa, as though all her strength had been drained.
She couldn’t understand how her brother could have provoked the people from the White War Department.
“Remember! This information, known to you and me, should absolutely not be revealed, otherwise, neither of us will have a good outcome, do you understand!?” Fendy Taylor threatened fiercely.
She knew that once the word got out, those who were apparently submissive to her would no longer be restrained.
By then, not speaking of being able to maintain her current status, even her life would be in imminent danger.
Hearing this, her aide nodded solemnly.
But at this moment, a knock came from the door, “Madam, Madam Mitchell requests your presence.”
Huh?
Hearing this, Fendy Taylor’s eyebrow immediately furrowed.
Why does Madam Mitchell want to see me at such a critical moment? Could she have found something?
As Fendy Taylor frowned, her aide hurriedly said, “Miss, I didn’t disclose my location. As soon as I got back, I came straight to you. I am utterly loyal to you.”
“I didn’t suspect you, leave first.” Fendy Taylor said impatiently, and then responded to the person at the door, “Understood, ask Madam Mitchell to wait a moment, I will be there shortly.”
“Ma’am, Madam Mitchell commanded me to accompany you there, I’ll wait for you at the door.” The person outside replied.
Hearing this, Fendy Taylor’s unease heightened.
Shortly after, Fendy Taylor slowly opened the door and, along with Madam Mitchell’s sent servant, headed towards the Mitchell Family council hall.
“Huh!? The council hall? Are other people present?” Fendy Taylor couldn’t resist asking.
Upon hearing this, the servant responded without revealing any information, “I only know what Madam Mitchell ordered. I don’t know the rest.”
Not clear?
Hearing this response, Fendy Taylor begrudgingly thought to herself, this old servant was of close confidence to Madam Mitchell, having served the Mitchell family for decades. One could say that she knew if and when Madam Mitchell was going to relieve herself.
His current excuse was clearly to stall her.
It seems that the members of the Mitchell family might have heard some rumors about the Taylor family, otherwise this servant of Madam Mitchell would absolutely not dare to treat her in such a way.
The crowd disperses around a fallen tree!
Fendy Taylor chuckled coldly and with a brutal look on her face thought to herself, “A bunch of ungrateful wretches. If it weren’t for my support all these years, the Mitchell Family would’ve fallen long ago based just on those incompetents!
Now that they see the Taylor Family in trouble, they think I don’t have any support, so each of them wants to come and step on me? It won’t be that easy!
My son, Nathaniel, is the pride of the Eight Sects. When he comes back, I would like to see who dares to bully me! Humph!”
With a cold snort, Fendy Taylor strode into the Mitchell Family council hall.
Other than Madam Mitchell, who was seated at the main position, the council table was surrounded by respected family elders from the Mitchell family.
These pampered family elders, who would usually shun her as a cat would from a rat, even going out of their way to flatter her, were now acting aloof and superior, displaying an air of contempt towards her, a woman of common birth.
In response to such behavior, Fendy Taylor gave a cold smile. Her eyes radiated a chilling look as she stood fearlessly before everyone.
Madam Mitchell, seated in the primary position, slowly opened her eyes, and with a quick thud of her dragon-headed cane, emotionlessly said, “Close the door! All servants leave!”
