Williams

“Lucien, how could you utter such accusations against Higgs? That’s so cruel! And the rest of you–how can you trust him?” Leon exclaimed, rushing to stand up for Higgs.

Yet, not a single soul sided with him. After tonight’s events, it was obvious to everyone how deeply Lucien was concerned about Calvert’s situation, while Higgs remained cold and detached throughout.

Besides, it was Maren–an ally of Lucien–who had stepped forward to save Calvert. More crucially, Lucien presented undeniable proof: Higgs had the motive, carried out the act, and there was hard evidence. The facts were impossible to deny.

Naturally, no one wavered in their support for Lucien.

Still, Leon kept pressing his case. “I admit Higgs isn’t exactly the warmest, but he’s not capable of anything this vile. Lucien keeps bringing up the Williams family, but I’ve never even heard of them. And regarding the missing gifts–wasn’t Lucien’s gift just a pocket watch? How is that related to Higgs at all?”

Leon wasn’t only protecting Higgs; he was trying to shield himself too. Being aware of the plot made him complicit, and if Higgs faced consequences, he would likely fall with him.

Yet, Calvert saw through everything. He realized that without intervention, Lucien would take the blame and lose his chance at inheriting the Marshall family, while Higgs would seize control.

He also knew Higgs‘ tendency for underhanded schemes, which had always made him wary. Never, however, had he thought Higgs would stoop to this.

“Higgs, do you have any explanation?” Calvert demanded, his tone icy, staring down at Higgs lying restrained on the floor.

Higgs was terrified. “Grandpa, this is a huge mistake! I’m innocent!”

Calvert sneered, reading the guilt etched across Higgs‘ face without any difficulty.

“Lucien, tie up Leon too. Lock all of them away. No food until further notice. As for you, Higgs, we need to have a serious conversation.”

After giving Lucien his orders, Calvert hauled Higgs toward his chambers, still burdened by unresolved suspicions. The mention of the Williams family gnawed at him. Just how formidable were they that Higgs had dared attempt betrayal?

“Yes, Grandpa,” Lucien replied, visibly pleased.

Without hesitation, he commanded Leon’s capture and imprisoned Higgs‘ supporters below ground.

The ordeal was finally reaching its conclusion.

Chapter 334 My Surname Is Williams

Lucien felt a surge of satisfaction, confident that Calvert would never forgive Higgs.

Inside the room, Calvert began his interrogation. “You claim the Williams family instructed you to overthrow me. Tell me who exactly are they?”

Calvert’s mind moved faster and deeper than most members of the Marshall family. He was certain a petty force wouldn’t embolden Higgs to act so recklessly.

In addition, the opposing faction vowed that Higgs would eventually command the Marshall family, and surprisingly, Higgs trusted their assurance. To him, it suggested that their strength vastly surpassed the Marshalls, treating them as insignificant.

Consequently, Calvert resolved to secretly investigate the origins of the Williams family.

“Grandpa, I don’t quite follow your meaning.” Higgs dared not mention anything regarding the Williams family. Fear gnawed at him–if Shawn became enraged, his life would surely be forfeit. “Grandpa, I beg you. Temptation clouded my judgment. I swear I’ll never repeat such foolishness. Please, for the sake of kinship, show me mercy.”

By now, Higgs understood that with undeniable proof and clear evidence, Calvert’s trust had fully shifted to Lucien. Thus, his only hope was to plead for clemency.

“Mercy? Did you consider mercy when you stabbed me in the back with poison? You’ve shattered every shred of faith I placed in you. Since you refuse to reveal anything about the Williams family, you can follow the path to death.” Calvert’s resolve hardened like stone.

“No! I don’t want to die. Please, have pity!” Higgs, restrained and powerless, shook uncontrollably, paralyzed by the fear of impending doom. Yet even then, he remained silent about the Williams family, terrified that even if Calvert spared him, Shawn would hunt him down without mercy.
