"What? The cellar?"
Leo changed his color upon hearing that.
Laura looked so guilty and apologized, "I'm sorry, Leo. This is all my fault. I didn't protect her well. I shouldn't have brought her to my family in the first place..."
That was true. The situation wouldn't be so bad if Laura hadn't brought Emilia to the Watts family.
However, Leo wouldn't blame Laura for that.
On the contrary, he wanted to thank Laura for having protected his daughter.
"Thank you for protecting Emilia."
Leo's gratitude was very sincere.
Laura stood against the Watts family because she wanted to protect Emilia. She had even been put under house arrest for that.
At the same time, the bodyguards of the Grant family, the Palmer family, and Alan were all back in the yard. They reported to Leo, "We didn't find anything in the cellar."
Leo's face darkened instantly. He turned over and looked at Ayan, Jonah, and the others.
"Where is the cellar Laura mentioned?"
His tone was so frigid that the Watts felt as if the temperature of the courtyard had dropped sharply. Some of them couldn't stop quivering.
Instead of answering Leo's question, Ayan stared at him and asked, "Leo, are you really going to kill all of us?"
"I just need you to give my daughter back!"
Leo's veins were boiling with anger. He raised his pitch.
His eyes were burning with fury.
Whoever was skimmed over by him would tremble in fear.
"Ever since I stopped into this yard, all I've wanted is my daughter. Whether your family will be doomed or survive is not my concern."
"It's you! You've been pushing me again and again."
"You'd better pray that my daughter is safe now. Should anything happen to her, I wouldn't mind killing all of you to make up for her loss!"
Leo's threat was terrifying and frigid. He wasn't going to be merciful to any of these people.
Even Nadine didn't dare to breathe deep right now, let alone the Watts family.
There were a few times when Nadine saw Leo be as angry as this time, and each was about his family.
Leo's family was his bottom line!
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Just by then, several cars pulled over at the gate. They were all mini-vans.
A large group of people rushed over. Some of them were armed guards, and others were business people in suits.
All of them were influential and high-hearted big shots, but today, they were gathering here for the same thing.
"Mr. Palmer, I'm sorry. We're late!"
"Sir, are you all right?"
Some of those people asked as they ran to Ernie. Then they gathered around Ernie to protect him.
They were the guards and the chairmen of the companies of the Palmer family.
Several men with strong auras were watching them from the side.
They were the powerhouses hired by the Palmer family, each with equal strength with Mr. Lawrence.
They might still not be able to defeat the twin killers, but the disparity shouldn't be very huge.
"It's the helpers of the Palmer family!'
Every one of the Watts family looked desperate.
Jonah and Lane had given up all hope.
The horrifying murderous intent given out by Leo made them feel that there would be no tomorrow.
Ayan was drenched in cold sweats, and his body couldn't stop shaking. He was as desperate as furious.
Now that the twin killers had died, their defense was basically devastated. The extinction of his family was just a matter of time.
There was no point in resisting anymore.
Ayan took a deep breath, stood up, and said to Leo, "I can take you to the cellar, but you have to promise me that you'll let go of my family."
"Only if my daughter is safe and sound."
Leo said with frigid eyes. When it came to his daughter, he would never back down.
Ayan and his family immediately turned pale.
Stefan had already taken Emilia away. Given how much Stefan hated Leo and Lydia, she would definitely mistreat Emilia as she could.
Leo strode toward the cellar with Ayan showing him the way.
...
"Stop crying! Stop crying!"
In the dark cellar, a man was cursing and yelling fiercely.
Emilia was terrified by the harsh sound. She squatted in trembling and cuddled up on the ground.
"Don't hit me. I'm sorry, I'm sorry..."
"I'm so hungry. The iron bucket is too heavy for me now..."
"I want Dad! Dad, where are you..."
Emilia wailed desperately.
Stefan snorted frigidly, "You never can never find this place, and even if he could, he would get killed by the Watts family before he gets here!"
"You'll be my slave from now on. You'll do all the dirty and tiring work for me, and if you don't, I'll whip the hell out of you until you die!"
Stefan threatened Emilia unscrupulously because she had nothing to fear now. Emilia almost cried her eyes out.
Stefan picked up a piece of bread on the table and tossed it into the manure pit.
The white bread immediately got soaked with disgusted filths.
Stefan then ordered, "You said you were starving. Now go over and eat that pit. I'll see if you are hungry enough."
The stench was so pungent that Emilia could only stop breathing and covered her nose. Then she looked up at Stefan.
"The bread... It's filthy..."
"Bang!"
Emilia's hand was immediately lashed heavily. Blood oozed out of the wound.
" Wa-a-ah!"
Emilia withdrew her hand impulsively as if she had been electrocuted and cried out in pain.
"Stop crying! If you don't eat that bread. I swear I'll kill you!"
Stefan swore horribly.
Emilia fought back her tears, perhaps because she didn't want to be hit anymore. Then she crawled slowly to the manure pit and was going to pick up the stinky bread.
When Stefan saw that horrible scene, her lips quirked into a perverted smile.
For some reason, she felt so satisfied when seeing Lydia's daughter eating things from a manure pit.
"How dare you!"
Suddenly, a majestic and formidable growl came from not far away.
Stefan's body trembled as if she had been struck by thunder.
