Semua Bab Princess Cromwell and Her Six Brothers: Bab 251 - Bab 260

Frank’s head buzzed after hearing the last sentence.When he first heard that someone had been abducted in Monterey and that the manager had come knocking, he wasn’t too worried.Even when the entire internet was tagging him, he still thought he could smooth things over.But after this phone call, he was completely panicked!Of all the people Joe could have provoked, he just had to go after someone backed by Steven!To make things worse, the mountain fog was thick, and as soon as they turned onto the side road, their car was blocked!A mob of furious villagers rushed forward—holding hoes!Frank had just stepped out of the car when an old lady charged at him.“Did you take that dead girl away?” she shrieked.“Grandma, calm down! Listen to me, I am—” Frank raised both hands.But the old lady didn’t care who he was. She spat right in his face.“I don’t care who you are! Hand her over!”Frank stood there, stunned. Last time he came to this village, he was treated like a hero.“Are you all

Amelia was all smiles. “Alright then.”As she spoke, she shoved Joe forward and let go of the rope in her hand.“Now, Mayor Morton, you should be able to handle this fairly, right?”Mayor Morton caught his son, but the moment he saw Joe’s crippled legs, his expression darkened.Forget about a wedding—he was going to arrange a funeral for this damned girl instead!He forced a sinister, yet falsely kind smile. “Girl, let’s talk this through. What exactly did my son do to you?”Then his voice dropped into a chilling tone. “He took a liking to you—that’s your blessing. Instead of being grateful, you dared to hurt him?”Amelia raised an eyebrow. “He tried to force himself on me, and I’m supposed to thank him? Is there no law in this place?”Mayor Morton’s face twisted. “In Monterey, the Morton family IS the law!”The fat on his face trembled as he stepped closer. “You were trafficked because you looked like the perfect idiot to be deceived!”Amelia toyed with the purple jade pendant in her

“Dad? You’re worried? Why worry about them?”By now, Joe’s intelligence had been severely impaired by the drugs, leaving only his raw, violent instincts.“Just kill them all! This is River County! I’d like to see who dares challenge me here! What New York the Cromwell family? If they dare ruin my fun, they can all go to hell!”“What nonsense are you spouting?!”Mayor Morton was utterly horrified by his son’s outburst.He clamped a hand over Joe’s mouth and looked at Benjamin’s cold expression, filled with deep regret.“Mr. Cromwell, we were blind and failed to recognize who you were.”As he spoke, he crawled over and clutched Edgar’s leg, his face full of pleading.“Hey, manager, you’ve been to our town a few times. My son and I truly had no malicious intent—we would never dare harm Mr. Cromwell.”Edgar kicked him off in disgust.“No malicious intent? You and your son steal wives and daughters, shelter human traffickers, and you call that ‘no bad intentions’?”Clearly, the Cromwell fa

As his short black hair fluttered in the air, it only made him look even more noble and striking, as if he had descended with the moonlight itself.Despite suffering from years of illness, aside from his cold, pale complexion, there was no sign of weakness in the way he landed so effortlessly.Especially since he landed on one knee, his gloved hand steady.The gold-rimmed glasses on his nose made him look less like an ordinary man and more like the youngest godfather of the medieval era.As soon as he touched the ground—Figures emerged from the mist, one after another.Not just ordinary vehicles, but heavily modified off-road vehicles, each marked with a striking red insignia.Seven or eight of them, engines roaring like thunder.“Mayor Morton! What the hell is going on!?”Panic set in.The villagers had never seen anything like this before.Even Frank hadn’t.This level of mobilization—it only happened in cross-border operations on TV!Mayor Morton’s eye twitched, unease creeping in

Hearing this, Amelia paused, her fingers lightly twirling the purple jade pendant.At the same time, Edgar turned to look at her, his mouth slightly open.If that was the case… then his second sister…Amelia didn’t need to guess what her elder brother was thinking.She frowned slightly and said, “I was switched at birth, not trafficked.”According to that couple, that was the truth.But their words were obviously unreliable.Amelia didn’t bother explaining further.She had no feelings toward the girl the Cromwell family had been raising.Her brother had once said it was because the girl looked too much like Miss Amelia.Cromwell when she was younger.So, the Cromwell family showered her with love.To Amelia, this felt like nothing more than a substitute story.Not being able to find a lost child was understandable.Back then, the internet wasn’t widespread, facial recognition technology was nonexistent, DNA sampling wasn’t common, and even the household registration system was lax, esp
