Chapter 571 Didn’t You Already Guess?

    He turned his head slightly and gave a subtle nod to the man in ck not far away, the man in ck received the signal and reached out to twist a metal switch embedded in the wall

    In an instant, what Jean had assumed was an entire metal wall suddenly shifted.

    A crack split down the center, and then the wall parted, sliding open on both sides like a massive idoor/ii. /irevealing the scene hidden behind it.

    Jean’s eyes flew wide open. What she saw was a massive, extravagant metal cagerge she had to crane her neck just to take it all in.

    And the people trapped inside that cage were none other than the Ginger family.

    “You all…”

    A chill rushed through Jean’s chest. She instinctively took a step back, goosebumps breaking out all over hers

    arms.

    Sienna was there, along with a few of her brothers…

    iNo/ii, /isomeone was missing. iCarl /iiwasn’t /iithere/ii. /iAside from Carl, every other member of the Ginger family had been neatly confined within that massive cage.

    “Jean!” Sienna’s eyes widened slightly as she called out instinctively.

    That metal wall hadpletely sealed off the hall before, so the Ginger family hadn’t seen what was happening on the other side–they hadn’t known Jean was already here.

    Now, everyone stared at each other in stunned silence. Sienna bit her lip, her gaze fragile and tangled as she looked at Jean.

    Her Jean stood barefoot, her hair in disarray…

    Her feet were covered in dirt, and faint traces of blood were visible; her small, pale face hadpletely lost its color. She looked disheveled–so much so that the Ginger family’s hearts ached just looking at her.

    “Jean, are you okay?” Sienna’s brows drew together; her eyes were filled with worry as she looked over

    Dominic’s face remained unreadable. Even in this grim situation, he stayed calm andposed as he spoke to Jean. “Jean, don’t worry about us. Whatever happens, don’t get involved. Just get out of here.”

    Sienna nodded in agreement, clearly hoping Jean would retreat as quickly as possible.

    Jean’s gaze swept over each of them, one by one. Then, she said nothing. She simply turned to lool man seated at the head of the room./

    “What is going on?”

    Her eyes were sharp as they locked on him, but her voice was eerily calm. “What did you do to them?”

    No matter how powerful or dangerous this man was, Jean didn’t believe he could have taken down bthe /bentire Ginger family so easily./

    The man seemed to have read her thoughts already. His brows lifted slightly, the corners of his eyes glinong with a cold edge that was barely perceptible. “Didn’t you already guess?b” /b

    His voice echoed through the vast, empty hall, sending a chill down the spine. “I took byou/b, yes, but I balso /bbleft /b

    The man let out a low chuckle. “But he was far too na?ve. I’ve fortified this estate beyond measure, did he really think it would be so easy to get in?”
