Disaster for the Garfields [2]

Sighing, he walked out of his study when Esther, Amelia, Mina and butler George arrived and looked at Ashton with worried looks.

Ashton glanced at them and said, "Later, I'll create an opportunity for you guys to escape. Go somewhere far away where no one can find you."

After a pause, he continued, "If possible, contact Emily, Max and others and tell them not to leave their academies. Hopefully, they will be safe as long as they are in there."

Hearing this, everyone's expression became turn even more grim and Esther asked, "Is it really this serious? Can't we ask the royals' help?"

"I'm afraid not." Ashton shook his head. "Since he dared to come, it means he is fully prepared for everything." 

He was filled with guilt and regret now. Guilt toward his family because he had dragged them down with him and regret for not being able to kill Count Wiley last time.
