The Girlboss Begs for Remarriage by Chu
Chapter 1872

Even as Cara complained, she showed her hands-where no bleeding could be seen, let alone wounds to her son.

Still, Rex smiled and nodded at his mother before turning to leer at his father Gero in disdain, even as he hid himself among the crowd.

Although Gero was Governor Quill's second son and Rex's father, he was also the man whom Rex despised the most.

His weak father would always be a stain to his existence.

"Rex Quill!"

Eric was glaring at Rex as he strode up, glowering and barking, "Are you trying to stop us?! Don't forget that we have guns, and we'll go down swinging if we have to!" "Tut, tut..."

Rex shook his head in amusement, even as the other members of the Quill family appeared panicking.

He even took his time to shoot his eldest uncle a look of contempt and chuckled coolly, "What, do you think that you get to strut in Quill Manor just because someone beat my uncle? Do you really think that weapons could threaten me? Nah, that's just naive of you." Even as Tim and Eric's expression turned grim, Rex wagged his finger at both men before clapping his hand.

In the distance, the doors to a large storehouse opened as everyone watched, and a group of people, all bound and gagged, were pushed out of the darkness inside.

And behind them were all fully-armed soldiers.

Eric's face fell when he saw an elderly woman among them "Mother!"

"Ahahaha!!!"

Rex was laughing in turn, seeing

insubordinate soldiers' faces falle

right then. "Eric Holt, right? Did you thinkl wouldn't know what peasants like you were planning?"

His diss sent Eric flying into a rage, and he trained his gun on Rex as he bellowed, "Release my mother now!"

Rex shrugged and whipped out a walkie-talkie as he chuckled. "You heard the man-release his mother."

Eric was surprised that Rex was being so compliant, only to watch as the soldier holding his mother nodded at Rex's orders.

Instead of letting the woman go, however, he raised his rifle and aimed it straight at her head.

"No!!!"

Eric's eyes could pop out of their sockets-that was the one thing he did not want to see! Bang!

With the crack of a gunshot, Eric's mother, who had spent most of her life working as a servant in Quilt Manor, collapsed and died inca pool of her own blood.

"Rex Quill!" Eric bellowed, on the verge of losing his mind.

He whipped out his handgun and fired it straight at the smirking Rex.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

However, Rex turned into a blur even as the bullets streaked toward him, dodging them.

"Argh!!!" Eric screamed even as he emptied his clip and continued to press the trigger anyway.

"That's what happens to those who oppose the family." Rex was

shrugging nonchalantly at the other soldiers in turn, sending chills down their spines.
