Early the next morning, Leonard and the others were awakened by the loud banging on the door downstairs.
As they descended from the second floor, they were filled with confusion.
All the houses in Wilson Village were standalone mansions. Could it be that someone was doing renovations at this hour?
“I'm coming, I'm coming. Who's knocking at the door this early in the morning? Can't a person get a good sleep anymore?” Leonard said as he opened the door.
No sooner had the door opened than a group of Wilson family members seized Leonard.
“Where is Donald? Tell him to get out here!”
Leonard didn't know what was going on with the Wilson family, but as soon as they started shouting for Donald to come out, Leonard quickly said, “Hey, you guys can't just yell like that. Tell me what's going on. If you wake Donald up, you'll have to face the consequences.”
Leonard was well aware of Donald's temper, and in theory, the Wilson family should have already experienced just how ruthless Donald could be.
What gave them the courage to dare to provoke Donald again?
“Are you playing dumb with me? Two of our elders died in their courtyards last night. Apart from your beloved son-in-law, Donald, who else could commit such a heinous act? Who else has the capability? Get Donald to come out right now, or I'll break your hand!”
Friedrich had already been holding a grudge against Donald for cutting off his own hand.
It was just that Montgomery was thinking of the bigger picture and didn't want to fall out with Donald. Therefore, Friedrich had no choice but to become the sacrificial lamb for the family.
Now, however, two of the Wilson family's elders suddenly died in a single night. It didn't take a genius to know that Donald was behind it.
Since Friedrich now had a legitimate reason for exacting revenge, how could he not be overjoyed?
“Why waste words on him? Just break one of his hands first!”
The surrounding members of the Wilson family were all joining in the clamor, shouting that they wanted to cripple one of Leonard's hands.
Just as Friedrich was about to take action, Donald emerged from the bedroom, supporting Jennifer.
“It seems like you people from the Wilson family never learn, do you? You just got beaten up, and now you're here to provoke me again. Are you asking for death?”
Seeing Donald still speaking so arrogantly, Friedrich coldly snorted and said, “Donald, the Wilson family has already shown you the utmost kindness. I didn't expect you to resort to such despicable tactics, launching a sneak attack on our elders in the dead of night. Since you're so sinister and cunning, I'll make you regret it!”
