Chapter 406: 405 went crazy, daring to kill, Mr. Hale has arrived (4 more updates)

Cressida Jones was still wearing the outfit she wore during her engagement, neatly dressed, even her lipstick was immaculate, it seemed there had been no accident.

"Tonight is..." The man tried to speak and say he had mistaken the person, but Kyle Lowe kicked him, cutting off his speech.

"Does Aunt Wilde mean that because I’m fine, tonight’s incident should just be lightly glossed over?" Cressida Jones sneered.

The more she thought about it, the more frightened she became.

Zoe Payne was unharmed because this man realized his mistake in time, and because William Hale rescued her promptly.

If it had been her...

She probably wouldn’t have been so lucky.

Tonight, would likely become a nightmare for the rest of her life.

"After all, I’m not your biological daughter. If Marigold Jones had been in trouble tonight, would you also remain so calm?" Cressida Jones slowly approached Lavinia Wilde and her daughter.

"Cressida, I know you feel wronged, I will definitely compensate you, we’re all family, why make a big fuss..." Lavinia Wilde was trying to placate her, but before she could finish, Cressida Jones suddenly picked up a glass of red wine from the table and splashed it towards her.

The wine hung on her face, Lavinia Wilde stunned in place.

"Cressida Jones, have you gone mad!" Marigold Jones jumped out to defend her mother.

"This is called mad? You must have never seen a real mad person."

Cressida Jones said, and fiercely smashed the glass on the table, the stem broke, and she grabbed a shard, stepping forward—

The glass shard,

was now pressed against Marigold Jones’ neck!

Her wrist forcefully exerted pressure, blood beads rolled out, frightening Marigold Jones into a shrill scream, "Sister, what are, what are you trying to do?"

"Cressida Jones, you, calm down." Lavinia Wilde, no longer caring about the wine stains on her face, panicked, "If you hurt Marigold, you’ll go to prison too."

"If I have to go to prison, it certainly won’t be for hurting her, but..."

"For killing her!"

A cold smile appeared on Cressida Jones’ lips.

"Help, help... Dad, Mom, save me, my sister is going to kill someone!" Marigold Jones was terrified out of her wits.

Actually, it’s not scary when a mad person is typically mad,

what’s scary is,

when someone who isn’t normally mad suddenly becomes mad.

You can’t even imagine what she might do.

"Marigold Jones, this is my first time doing this, I’m scared too, my hands are trembling, so don’t tremble, if I accidentally cut a big gash in your neck, you might really die here." Cressida Jones smiled at her.

She looked beautiful when she smiled.

But in this situation, it sent chills down one’s spine.

Tim Payne watched her, also feeling a sense of astonishment.

And that glass shard, was slowly embedding itself into Marigold Jones’ neck, everyone around was so frightened they dared not breathe.

Could it be,

that Miss Jones was committing assault in public!

The Jeans were all shocked, especially Beckett Jeans.

He considered himself deft at manipulating the Jones sisters, often secretly pleased with himself, but now he felt, as if he had never really seen either of them clearly.

Himself, looking completely like a fool!

"Dad, save me!" Marigold Jones pleaded with her father.

"Cressida Jones, let go of your sister right now, if you want to kill someone and go to jail I won’t stop you, but you should think of your grandmother, her health is frail, can you bear to let her see you in prison!"

Silas Jones knew her weak point.

Cressida Jones scoffed, but did not lower the glass shard, staring at Marigold Jones, her eyes growing colder, "Marigold Jones, this matter, won’t end like this."

She withdrew and left, and only then did Marigold Jones finally breathe a sigh of relief.

Lavinia Wilde was furious, wanting to rush up and hit her, her arm raised, but before her hand could fall, Cressida Jones grabbed her wrist.

"You, let go..."

"How dare you hurt my daughter? I must teach you a lesson today!"

Cressida Jones let out a low laugh, "Marigold isn’t dead, it’s just a scratch. I was provoked and lost my rationality, making such a decision is understandable."

"It’s just minor sibling quibbles between sisters."

"I believe Aunt Wilde and my sister won’t hold this against me, right?"

What goes around, comes around.

Lavinia Wilde was at a loss for words, both anxious and annoyed.

Cressida Jones scoffed coldly: "Or is it that, when she hurts me, I should forgive, but if I hurt her, I deserve to die?"

"It’s different, you wanted to kill her!" Lavinia Wilde retorted.

"She slandered my reputation and even took photos and videos. My life is ruined, it’s no different from murder."

"Enough!" Silas Jones’ head was splitting from the headache, "We are a family, isn’t this shameful? Cressida, you’ve also hurt Marigold, there’s no loss, let’s end tonight’s matter here."

"End it here?" Tim Payne raised his eyebrow.

"Junior President Payne, I am really grateful that you helped Cressida out of trouble today. I’ll personally thank you another day, but this is after all the Jones Family’s internal affair, you shouldn’t interfere anymore."

Silas Jones forced a smile, he just wanted to escape from here as soon as possible.

Tonight, it was a real disgrace.

"A family affair?" Tim Payne chuckled lowly, his smile not reaching his eyes.

"Are you saying Junior President Payne still wants to meddle in the Jones Family’s matters?" Silas Jones stood firm rarely.

"Idiot!" Kyle Lowe blurted out suddenly.

Silas Jones was secretly annoyed, "What did you say? I am speaking to Junior President Payne, it’s not your turn to interject!"

"Mr. Jones..." A hoarse and cold voice sounded, "You’re beginning to scold my people."

"How impressive you are!"

Everyone followed the voice, not noticing when William Hale had arrived.

Tall in stature, just standing there was enough to be imposing, not to mention the cold aloofness and the hostility in his eyes.

"Your person?" Silas Jones looked at Kyle Lowe again.

He didn’t recognize him at all.

However, someone in the attendance whispered, "This person, seems to be often with Mrs. Hale’s bodyguard."

"No wonder he looks familiar."

"But why has Mr. Hale suddenly appeared? Tonight’s event has really blown up."

Upon hearing this, Silas Jones immediately smiled apologetically, "I didn’t know he was Mr. Hale’s man, my apologies."

Marigold, spoiled from indulgence, was annoyed seeing Tim Payne sticking up for her sister. Now that William Hale had appeared, she couldn’t help but mutter, "It’s not a big deal, why make it so difficult? Even with power and influence, that’s no reason to bully people."

"What did Second Miss Jones say? Bullying?" William Hale’s ears were sharp.

"Mr. Hale, my daughter is ignorant, she’s talking nonsense!" Lavinia Wilde forced a smile, continually gesturing to her daughter.

Ancestor,

You better keep it together.

"Talking nonsense, seems like you can’t control your own mouth!"

William Hale gave Kyle Lowe a look.

He strode forward and grabbed Marigold Jones—

A slap!

Kyle Lowe didn’t hold back, and no one dared to stop him, Marigold’s face was going to be ruined.

"Mr. Hale is usually not like this, he’s very angry tonight."

"Marigold really had it coming, even a clay Buddha has some temper, she stole someone else’s fiancé and tried to ruin another’s reputation, probably Mr. Hale and Junior President Payne couldn’t stand it anymore."

"It’s best to stay away from the Jones Family after offending the two of them."

...

It was only when the police arrived that Kyle Lowe stopped.
