Chapter 888: Separate from Him
Upon hearing Huo Feifei’s words, Ling Sheng sobbed even harder. She cried at the top of her lungs, sniffling aggrievedly, looking like she was running out of breath from crying.
Upon seeing his dear granddaughter cry like this, Huo Xiao could not care less. If he had not seen that he was already almost beaten to death, Huo Xiao would have continued ordering him to be beaten. He pointed at Fourth Brother and his wife and roared angrily, “Look at you people! What kind of rubbish did you bring home?! You only cause me trouble. Hurry up and throw him out.”
“Grandpa, how can you only listen to Sixth Uncle and Huo Xuanzhou’s side of the story? You should listen to what Edward has to say instead.” Huo Feifei’s face was full of tears too as she raised her head in grief and indignation.
Huo Xuanzhou laughed and said, “There’s no need to listen. Grandpa, I’ve checked. This scumbag is a swindler. He’s not a prince at all. He’s deceived many people. This scumbag should have researched about our Huo Family. He conned his way to us.”
Upon hearing this, Huo Feifei screeched hysterically, “Brother Zhou, even if Edward is in the wrong, you don’t have to slander him!”
“You fool!” Huo Xuanzhou let out a cold snort and pointed at her. “I’m too embarrassed to say anything about you. What’s the point of having eyes and brains? To come to our Huo Family with a swindler to cheat us of our money and food? Or Huo Feifei, perhaps you know that he is a con-man and joined forces with him to cheat us of our money?”
Huo Feifei’s pupils shook, but she still could not believe it. She argued angrily and anxiously, “You’re spouting nonsense!”
Huo Xuanzhou laughed from her stupidity. This was the first time he had seen a moron this stupid. He kicked Edward and said, “He has plenty of names. Last year, his name was James. He was a banker who had deceived a Danish girl. He even had a child, but he ran away.”
“Two years ago, his name was Kevin. His family was in the oil business, and he had cheated a Chinese girl of 20 million.
“Before the New Year, his name was Steve. He was an artwork collector and had deceived a French girl. Huo Feifei, do you still want me to explain everything to you one by one?”
Xiao Hui and Huo Li’s faces turned pale instantly. They had long realized and suspected that a prince could not be like Edward. However, for their own face, they did not expose him. They thought that when Huo Feifei left, no one would be bothered by this problem anymore. They would simply show off as they should.
However, they had not expected Edward to do such a thing. Before he could get lost, his true colors had been exposed by others.
Edward lay on the ground like a dead dog, exhaling more than he was inhaling. He endured the excruciating pain and argued angrily. “Just you people wait. Do you think the Budan Kingdom is easy to push around? I’ll definitely report you to the embassy and let the whole world know of your evil deeds!”
Huo Ci would not hit him in front of so many people so he gave Huo Xuanzhou a sideways look.
Huo Xuanzhou stomped on his face and laughed in anger. What a shameless person! How dare he say that? “F*ck, I gave you face, but you don’t want it? I’ll send you to prison!”
“You…” Edward’s mouth was stepped on, and he could not speak anymore. His face was contorted hideously as he looked toward Huo Feifei for help.
“Huo Xuanzhou,” Huo Feifei was annoyed as she called out his name directly. “Do you really want our Huo Family’s reputation to be tarnished internationally? Do you want the whole world to know that our Huo Family humiliated and beat up a prince?”
“Who the f*ck is ‘our’?” Huo Xuanzhou looked at her arrogantly. “Where’s your brain? Huo Feifei, your brain has been f*cking eaten by a dog. Get lost!”
Edward wanted to throw out threats and excuses, but he could not make any more noise. After Huo Ci’s cold and bloody gaze landed on him, he only felt fear rise in his heart.
They were obviously fearless and had also seen through that he had no evidence against them.
This was the first time he had met such a person, who was not afraid of anything. If someone was afraid of something, it would be easy to control and threaten him. The most terrifying thing was this kind of person who was not afraid of anything!
“Grandpa, this scumbag not only has evil intentions toward Sheng Sheng, but he also wronged my Sixth Uncle. Can I do away with him?” Huo Xuanzhou got angrier as he spoke. He kicked him again.
“Ah Zhou, stop! Are you going to kill someone? Our Huo Family uses reason to persuade others, not violence!” Upon hearing that he had wronged Huo Ci, Huo Pei’s eyes darted around sneakily. “Edward, tell me. Don’t be afraid. If anything happens, I’ll seek justice for you!”
Perhaps this Edward had been beaten up to this state because he had evidence against Sixth Brother and wanted to threaten him. That was why Sixth Brother had beaten him up!
Edward crawled to Huo Pei’s side. He was so angry that he wasn’t afraid of anything anymore. He only wanted revenge. He pointed at Huo Ci with hatred. “I saw it! I saw him tampering with the railing! It was him!”
“Grandpa, look at this swindler. Not only did he bully my sister, but he also dared to slander her!” Huo Xuanzhou walked over to drag him back. He wanted to kill him!
Huo Feifei was stupid to begin with. The situation in front of her was so complicated that she had no idea what to do anymore. She could only look at Fourth Brother and his wife pleadingly.
“Sixth Brother, are you trying to silence him? Are you afraid that Edward will say something unfavorable to you?” Huo Li could not just stand by and watch either. After all, Feifei had brought Edward back. If Sixth Brother and the others were telling the truth, the Old Master would not let them off!
“Then, tell me, when did you see me?” Huo Ci was fearless. If he could get caught doing that small matter, he would have lived in vain.
“The afternoon before yesterday.” Edward did not know when he had done it, but he would definitely be beaten to death by those two demons if he did not tell them.
“What time?” Huo Ci asked again.
Edward relied on the fact that Huo Pei was on his side now and would definitely stand on his side. He continued to spout nonsense. “Around three o’clock!”
Huo Ci laughed and simply looked at Huo Pei. “Fifth Brother, you bribed Edward, right? You really put in a lot of effort to get him to slander me!”
Huo Pei had not expected this Edward to be a fool. How did he become a swindler with such an IQ? Exactly how stupid were those people to be deceived by him? He kicked him away and tried to set himself apart from him. “How would I know? He’s from the fourth branch. What does he have to do with me? He was the one who said he saw you tampering with it.”
At around three o’clock in the afternoon the day before yesterday, Sixth Brother had not been at home at all. He had seen him go out with his own eyes and had not come back ever since. He definitely had an alibi.
Huo Ci looked at Huo Xiao seriously. “Father, I wasn’t at home the whole day before yesterday. Elder Brother Rong and the others can testify for me. King William and the others can testify for me too. Do you want me to get them to come over to prove my words?”
