Chapter 250
As long as the man in front of her was willing to talk, she would have a chance
In the huge living hall, the sound of Luna’s head hitting the ground reverberated in the room.
Her forehead was quickly stained with blood and turned purple.
It looked as miserable as it could get.
Marlon, who was the most soft–hearted had turned his head away. It was too painful to watch.
Ford had an indifferent expression on his face. No one knew what he was thinking.
Layne could not bear to see Luna suffer. He clenched his fists in indignation.
No matter how useless she was and how she had embarrassed the second branch, she was still his sister.
Layne had protected and doted on her when they were growing up together.
However, Luna had caused too much trouble this time.
The second branch was almost implicated and couldn’t bounce back.
As a mother, Diane’s eyes were filled with tears when she saw her flesh and blood enduring such distress. However, being intimidated by the cold aura emanating from Raymond, she did not dare to say a word.
As his wife, she naturally know what was on his mind.
Anyone who acted against the interests of the second branch, including his wife and children, had no point in living. Victor was not in a hurry to speak.
He did not even stop Luna from hurting herself.
He lit a candle calmly.
With a pious expression, he held the cross on the table and muttered to himself.
At the same time, Luna had become dizzy from all the kowtowing.
“I’ve said it before. The taboo of our family is harming our own kind.

others.
“But you are set up, get yourself into such a terrible state, and even ruin the Croft family’s reputation.”
“How should I punish you?”
Victor’s voice was very calm.
The man in front of Luna didn’t sound like a ruthless man who had once cruelly taken countless lives.
Instead, he seemed to be a kind and amiable old man.
“Grandpa, I… I…
Luna was trembling so hard that she was about to pee.
She did not dare to respond to Victor’s question.
Raymond said respectfully, “Dad, we will let you decide.”
He gave his daughter away without any hesitation.
“Luna, my granddaughter. You’ve seen what happens to the people who go against their families. I’ll give
you two choices now.
“Do you want to do it yourself, or do you want me to help you?”
Victor opened the small box on the table.
He took out an incomparably sharp dagger and carefully warm it on the candle flame until the surface of
the dagger turned into a bright red color.
“You have made three mistakes. Firstly, you were defeated by the enemy. Secondly, you let someone
expose the video. Thirdly, you’ve brought shame on the Croft family because of your failure.
“Based on the house rules, I have to cut off three of your fingers.
“Since you’re my granddaughter, you can choose which three fingers you want to cut off” Victor handed
the dagger to Luna.
“Grandpa, L… L… I really can’t do it…”
Luna cried until her tears and snot congealed into a ball. She couldn’t look more awful.
Had she known it, she wouldn’t have helped Madelyn to pick on Jane.
And she wouldn’t have ended up like this,
“If you can’t do it…”
Victor took out a handkerchief from his pocket.
Before Luna could respond, he raised his arm and wielded the dagger.
Luna’s left pinky was cut off in a blink of an eye.
By the time Luna realized it, the pain had spread from her left hand to her entire body
In an instant, the pain stimulated the adrenaline in her entire body and caused her to cry out loud.
“Ahhhhh!!!”
Luna hugged her left hand and rolled on the ground, screaming.
Marlon had already hidden in the corner and covered his ears with his hands, not daring to look. The
corners of Layne and Diane’s mouths twitched. Both of them turned their faces away. Only Raymond and
Ford were still watching.
Of course, Jane saw everything that had happened without blinking her eyes.
“I didn’t expect Victor to be so vicious to his granddaughter.”
Jane clicked her tongue..
What Victor had done was no different from the Fowler family.
Besides physical torture, there was also mental torture.
“You enjoyed all the privilege of our family but you are still being played by the enemy. This is totally unacceptable. “Therefore, such a punishment is passed down from our ancestor for to eliminate the incompetent ones. Those who drag the Croft family down will be punished and maimed.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“That is nothing wrong about it. Anyway, your family seems to have no problem with it, so this is all I have to say”
For prominent families like the Croft family, Weak methods could not protect such a large family business at all and that would only push then into failure.
Survival of the fittest wa what made the Croft family stand strong until today.
“You are able to fight and establish yourself in such a family. Hugh, you must have suffered a lot.”
Jane’s words were like a breatho Hugh’s heart.
Hugh’s deep gaze landed on Jane’s side profile.
She couldn’t help but want to hug the person in front of her.
Everyone felt that Hugh was talented and capable. It was natural for him to become the head of Croft family and inherit D.Y. Group.
The respect, flattery, and praise for Hugh were all superficial.
Hugh seemed to not care, but he was disgusted and so uncomfortable that he wanted to vomit.
They had no idea how much pain and despair he had gone through to get to where he was today.
Everyone thought he was responsible for the death of his mother. After losing the woman he loved the most, his father had shut himself off and become oblivious to everything.
He did not vent his anger on Hugh because of his mother’s death. But Hugh had never enjoyed fatherly love since he was born.
He was raised by his grandmother. In the Croft family, she was the only person he could lean on.
Thanks to his grandmother’s love and care, Hugh hadn’t gone astray and he still preserved the humility in him.
As a grandfather, Victor hadn’t never treated Hugh.as his grandson.
He had long discovered Hugh’s talent and thought that he was the most suitable person to inherit the Croft family’s business.
Since Hugh was a young kid, he had trained Hugh personally. But Hugh’s grandmother stopped him, hoping the kid could lead a normal life and they shouldn’t make his tragic life more miserable.
After Hugh’s grandmother died, no one in the Croft family could disobey Victor’s decision.
Therefore, when Hugh was 10 to 20 years old, he had gone through hellish education and training. It was torture that no ordinary person could endure.
But Hugh had put up with everything for the two beloved women who died for him.
Now, Hugh deeply felt that being Jane was his salvation and the light if his dark life.
