Chapter 519: Wolf Attack
As the two families were about to clash again, Grandma Lyon, growing impatient, tapped the ground with her cane. “Marrying you two was trouble enough; Grace will never enter the Lyon family’s doors. Give up on that hope!” she declared.
Upon hearing this, Leah’s anger subsided considerably. As long as Stephanie and Grace remained close friends, she was not worried about the Hancock family losing out.
Megan, too distracted to quarrel with Leah, asked, “Mom, aren’t you worried about the Farrell family stepping in?”
“They don’t have the capability,” Grandma Lyon scoffed at Megan, eyeing her sharply. “Sonia has already settled things with Max; no need to worry.”
With a wave of her hand, Grandma Lyon dismissed everyone to their rooms. They all retreated without further word.
Just then, the butler rushed in, panicked. “Madam, Tina and Jared have arrived!”
Grandma Lyon frowned, her expression darkening. “So what? Are they going to eat you?”
Trembling, the butler stammered, “Wolves! Wolves!”
“What wolves?” Grandma Lyon’s mood worsened. “You can’t even speak properly. What use are you?”
Finally calming his nerves, the butler hurriedly explained, “They brought many wolves. As soon as they entered the yard, the wolves were let loose, tearing through everything. They’ve eaten all your precious flowers and even Mr. Warren’s dog. Right now, they’ve…”
He glanced nervously at Grandma Lyon, his voice shaking, “Some have even jumped upstairs, into your room. The servants are too scared to come out.”
The Lyon family’s servants were usually busy and stayed out of the main hall during the day.
With Tina and Jared bringing wolves, the entire household was terrified. One servant even fainted.
“What?” Grandma Lyon exclaimed in disbelief. “Where did these wolves come from?”
“I don’t know!” the butler was near tears, his legs shaking. “Madam, what should we do? The doors to the main hall on the ground floor are locked, so the wolves can’t get in there, but they’ve already jumped to the second floor and will be down soon.”
As he spoke, a scream echoed from upstairs, followed by numerous others.
Warren and Oliver cried out in alarm, “Wolves? How could there be wolves? Someone help, please!”
Soon, panicked footsteps thundered from upstairs as people rushed down.
Megan, protecting Audrey, ran to Grandma Lyon’s side, frantic. “Mom, what’s happening? Why are there so many wolves all of a sudden? It’s terrifying!”
Leah, gripping Stephanie, was equally distressed. “I was just in the upstairs restroom when a wolf smashed through the glass and rushed in. I almost passed out from fright, Mom, please do something to drive them away! This is life-threatening!”
Stephanie and Audrey, usually not on good terms, were now huddled together in fear.
Grandma Lyon was also panicking. She was about to instruct the butler to call the police when several wolves charged down from upstairs, heading straight for her with clear intent.
“Ah!”
Confined to her wheelchair, Grandma Lyon was powerless as the wolves knocked her to the ground. She grabbed her cane and swung at them, but the more she hit, the more vicious they became, clawing at her clothes.
In moments, Grandma Lyon’s clothes were shredded by the wolves, her undergarments torn away as well.
Everyone was stunned; no one had expected this turn of events.
The wolves had not bitten anyone; instead, they had ripped the clothes off their grandmother.
What was going on?
At this moment, nobody was thinking about the past. Grandma Lyon’s sons and grandsons saw her naked and were both angry and ashamed! But no one dared to come forward to help. Joking aside, those were wolves! Who would dare to wrestle with wolves barehanded? The butler turned away early, unable to bear the sight of Grandma Lyon’s plight. As everyone froze, more and more wolves rushed down from the upstairs, attacking anyone they saw. Everyone panicked, trying to hide, but before they could run, they were pinned down by the wolves, who ferociously tore at their clothes. Soon, except for the butler, who was already scared out of his wits, everyone from the Lyon family, from Grandma Lyon down to her sons and grandsons, had their clothes completely ripped off by the wolves. The butler stood by, unable to leave, frozen in place.
At this critical moment, all the servants were busy in the yard, also scared and hiding from the wolves outside; there was no one in the hall to help. Even the butler didn’t dare to step forward. The wolves, surrounding Grandma Lyon and her family, seemed to only tear their clothes without further action, yet they didn’t leave and kept staring directly at the Lyon family members. The critical issue was… The wolves were drooling, seemingly viewing the Lyon family as their next meal, ready to be devoured at any moment. The Lyon family members, already petrified, didn’t even care about their state of undress, huddling together in fear.Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.
Grandma Lyon’s granddaughters and daughters-in-law cried and screamed, “Help! Save us.”
“I don’t want to die! Grandma, I don’t want to die! Save me!” Grandma Lyon, experienced in many things, had never seen anything like this. Now, being shaken violently by her daughters-in-law and grandchildren, she fainted. Warren and Oliver were slightly better off, not collapsing like their wives and children, but they were just as tense, staring at the hungry wolves, fearing they would be eaten.
Just as the Lyon family members were about to break down, the front door opened. Jared and Tina walked in. Upon seeing the scene, Jared’s handsome face instantly turned grim; he did not hesitate, pulling Tina around and walking out, while covering her eyes with his hand. Tina was getting worse. On the way here, she had told him not to worry about this matter, that she would handle it; he had agreed, trusting her, not expecting to walk into such a scene. Had he known Tina would use such a method to collect debts, he would have never agreed. He had plenty of ways to deal with the Lyon family, how could he let Tina sully her eyes? His Tina was still underage, yet had to witness such hideous sights? The Lyon family was doomed!
“Uncle!” Tina said helplessly, “I haven’t even settled accounts yet!” Jared flicked Tina on the head, “You don’t need to, I’ll have someone else do it!” He wouldn’t let Tina dirty her eyes, and he certainly wouldn’t either. Tina twitched her mouth, then looked at Jared seriously, “Uncle, if this debt isn’t collected, I will be unhappy, and if I’m unhappy, then my brothers will be unhappy, and if they’re unhappy, you probably won’t be happy either.” Jared, “…” Tina continued earnestly, “For the sake of our future harmonious life, and for the love between you and my brothers, you still need to make me happy, right?” Jared, “… Yes.” Tina smiled, hooking her arm around Jared’s neck, looking like buddies, “You wait outside for me.”
“Don’t even think about it!” Jared retorted, wrapping his arm around Tina’s waist, “If we have to watch, we’ll watch it together; I’ll just pretend I’m looking at a pile of crap!” Tina, “…”
“Can we not talk about such disgusting things under the bright sun!”
