My One-month Marriage With Mr. Hawkins

Chapter 929: At All Costs

Several hundreds of bodyguards rushed in, quickly spreading out to form a big circle, surrounding all of them inside.

The Second Elder Finley Turner came in hurried steps. “All of you are members of the Turner family. Why are you fighting each other? Don’t do that.”

When Theodore saw him and the bodyguards, he felt more uplifting.

And he ordered, “Finley, you are just in time. Let your men help me and settle this absurd fight as soon as possible.”

With the help of these hundreds of people, he would definitely control the situation.

Even if those bodyguards were no match to Ernest and his men, they could make them exhausted.

Finley looked at Ernest and then hurriedly shook his head.

“No, no. Ernest is the Young Master of the family, and we can't disrespect him.”

After saying that, he glared at the bodyguards at the side. “Idiots! Are you nuts? How dare you fight against the Young Master? Now get lost immediately!”

Those bodyguards were stunned, not daring to do anything else.

Since Finley was a martial artist, he looked quite fierce and threatening.

When Theodore heard Finley's words, he got furious and berated, “Finley, are you out of your mind? I am the Master of the family and I command you to capture Ernest and kill Stanford.”

Ernest waved the dagger in his hand and smiled coldly.

“Elder Finley, are you going to fight me?”

“I, I do not dare!” Finley replied.

He hurriedly walked to Ernest and said sincerely, “You are the Young Master, and you'll be the family head in the future. Also, you're the only one who can open the vault. Since I recognize you as the Young Master, I'll follow you faithfully. That means I'll never go against you.”

Theodore felt his temples throbbing suddenly.

He said gloomily, “Finley, I am not dead yet and you claim loyalty to Ernest, huh? I am still the head of the family!”

Finley said with a serious face, “Master, you should not do such a thing. Ernest is the only one who can continue the bloodline of our Turner family. For the sake of the ancestors, the legacy and even for the vault, we can't do this to him. Are you attempting to force the Young Master away? If he chooses to leave and without an heir, this family will come down in the world. I do respect you as the current master. But for the ancestors and the family future, I will not allow you to hurt or drive Ernest away.”

After saying that, he stood beside Ernest. It was clear that he chose to stand by Ernest’s side.

And his bodyguards confronted people brought by Theodore.

Theodore glared at him with trembling hands. noveldrama

“Finley, how dare you betray me?”

Though Finley said he made the choice for the Turner family and the ancestors, Theodore knew it was indeed a betrayal.

Without his knowledge, Finley had taken Ernest’s side!

This discovery made him feel panic all of a sudden.

Because Finley controlled the armed force of the Turner family, his support was crucial to Ernest.

Although Theodore wanted to kill Ernest, it had become an impossible thing.

Finley smiled dryly and said, “Master, I dare not disobey you. I am just telling you the truth.”

Theodore got sulkier with his lips trembling.

He scolded, “Ernest, do you know how much troubles the Turner family will get into if we don’t kill Stanford today? The Fraser family will hold a grudge and seek revenge on us. Though we're neck and neck in the battle, our family will still suffer a lot.”

He did not want to risk too much to get the cure. For him, killing Stanford right away was just simpler and cost less.

Ernest looked cold and unconcerned at his words.

“With me here, you won’t be able to kill them. Do not try my patience. I don’t mind making the Turner family suffer much right now.”

Theodore instantly got a pale face.

It seemed that Ernest was determined to let Stanford and the other two go.

And he did not even care if the Turner family would be badly damaged or destroyed.

What made things even worse was that Finley who used to be so carnky but loyal, seemed to listen to whatever Ernest said and did not consider the interests of the family as first priority.

Theodore got furious and pointed at them with trembling fingers. “Are you guys trying to betray the Turner family?”

“Master, you are wrong.” Finley smiled, “Young Master comes first in succession. As long as he is alive, he will inherit the Turner family. Since he belongs to our family, how can you call this a betrayal?”

Theodore almost lost it because of his words.

If it was at other times, he would definitely punish Finley.

But now…

With Finley’s support, he was no match to Ernest. Besides this, he did not know how many hearts Ernest had won in the Turner family during this period.

Maybe before he could find a chance to destroy the Fraser family, the Turner family would be destroyed due to internal conflicts.

“Ahem, ahem, ahem,” Phoebe coughed painfully.

She lay in Stanford’s embrace, covered her mouth and coughed several times.

After that, she took her hand down and saw a handful of blood in dismay.

Was she coughing up blood?

“Phoebe!”

Stanford instantly got shocked and worried, looking at the blood in her small hand.

What exactly was she drugged with?

Her health condition was getting worse.

She looked at him in a daze and shook her head. “I am fine.”

“Don’t sleep. I will take you out of here,” Stanford said.

He held her with one hand, forcing himself to stand up slowly, enduring the nagging pain all over his body.

Ernest looked at them with great concern in his eyes.

Now Phoebe was heavily drugged and Stanford and Collin were severely injured. They were simply so close to death. It's running out of time.

So he issued an order to Timothy, “Send them out.”

“Yes, sir,” Timothy replied. After glancing warily at the bodyguards of the Turner family, he immediately went forward to help Collin up from the ground, who was wheezing.

He turned to face those bodyguards surrounding them and said coldly, “Just get out of the way!”

Those bodyguards looked at each other and froze on spot, wondering whether to make some room for them or not.

Theodore looked livid.

He knew clear about the situation now. Ernest and Finley got the upper hand now. If he insisted on killing Stanford, the Turner family would surely suffer from inside problems.

It was not worth it.

But…

He spoke in a cold voice, “Do it! Kill Stanford at all costs!”

Since Stanford was seriously injured, and if his men could find a proper chance, Stanford would be dead.

Before the Turner families fought with each other, he thought it would be the best solution to kill Stanford.
