Moon Lovers: Bound by Blood and Revenge

[ Golden City District Hospital… ]

Grandpa Roland hadn't regained his consciousness yet. There were two bodyguards staying on guard in the front door of the ICU.

It was Evelyn who ordered the Zhou Family Guards to watch the Zhou Patriarch. She was already waiting for the updates of the head guard.

She was dying to know whether they succeeded in eliminating Marceline or not. But she just was hoping that everything went well.

It was already 3 o'clock in the morning and Marceline didn't show up in the hospital yet. She assumed that she was dead by now.

Evelyn and Ronan were staying in the private room of the hospital when someone from the Zhou Villa called Ronan.

As soon as the call got connected, Ronan heard the panicking voice of their head butler.

"Master! Something happened here in the mansion! You have to come back. I don't know if I should call the police or not. I'm afraid the family will be implicated. What should I do?" The head butler spoke spontaneously without a pause.

"Hey, slow down. Can you speak clearly? I can't understand you." Ronan said, feeling annoyed.

The head butler repeated his words. This time he spoke clearly, trying to calm himself.

"Police? What do you mean police? What the hell happened there while we were not around?" Ronan said confusedly.

Evelyn, who was just listening on the side, became curious about what they were talking about. She wondered if the mansion received a report about Marceline's death.

"What did he say?" Evelyn asked Ronan expectantly. She wanted to hear a piece of good news. Was Marceline already dead and did someone call the Zhou Villa to inform her family?

Ronan didn't answer Evelyn right away as he was listening to their head butler. Ronan's expression darkened when he heard the bad news.

"WHAT? They died? How come? How did it happen?" Ronan blurted out exasperatedly. There was disbelief in his eyes.

Evelyn also reacted after noticing the ugly expression of her husband. She immediately snatched the phone from Ronan and put it in a loudspeaker mode.

"I don't know, Master. But when we checked the CCTV footage in the garage, we saw them fighting each other. The three of them were holding a knife. They started attacking each other until the two died. The head guard stayed alive for several seconds. After killing his men, he slashed his own neck, committing suicide!"

Evelyn's jaw dropped after she heard that. No wonder she didn't receive any updates from her men. It turned out they started killing each other.

This was so weird. She couldn't believe that this would happen. She gave them a very important mission to get rid of Marceline but they ended up killing each other.

'So what about Marceline? Where is she? What happened to her?' Evelyn asked herself, still in shock about the bad news she just heard.

"Call the police! We need to investigate what happened to them. Why did they start fighting and killing each other!" Ronan commanded the head butler. "I'm going there now!"

"No, don't call the police!" Evelyn grabbed Ronan's elbow, stopping him.

Ronan had no idea about what she did tonight. Her order of eliminating Marceline had nothing to do with her husband. She was afraid that Ronan would find out something once the police would investigate this case.

Meanwhile, Ronan was looking at her with a puzzled expression. "Why? Three people died in our own garage. We have to report this to the police for further investigation."

Evelyn was not able to respond. She was still thinking of an alibi to use. Ronan must not know that she ordered those men to kill Marceline.

Though Ronan hated Marceline and he wanted to get the Zhou Empire, Evelyn knew that Ronan didn't have the heart to kill his niece, the only daughter of his brother.

He only wanted Marceline to disappear. 'Disappear' for him only meant going somewhere that was far away from his family.

He was thinking of sending her to the Kingdom Phantasia, that's why he asked Cedric to deal with her.

He just wished Marceline would give up the inheritance and the Zhou Empire as Cedric would bring her to the Kingdom Phantasia and become his woman.

"I think this is the work of a vampire! Can't you see? They acted strangely. They looked like they were possessed! What if the vampire controlled their minds, making them kill each other?"

Ronan frowned and said, "Why would a vampire do that to our Zhou Family Guards?" He was not yet fully convinced that a vampire would target their guards.

"Of course, they have motives! We are already helping the werewolves. The vampires might have started hating our family." Evelyn didn't want to give up. She had to convince her husband not to report this incident to the police.

"Sigh! Alright, we will not report this anymore to the police." After saying that, Ronan brought his attention back to the head butler who was still waiting for their final decision.

"Did you hear your Madam? You don't need to report this to the police."

Ronan had just finished giving his final order when suddenly they heard the siren in the background. The police had already arrived in the Zhou Villa.

"Is that the police? I thought you hadn't reported this incident yet?" Evelyn raised her voice while talking to the head butler.

"Yes, Madam! I didn't report anything. I'm also surprised that they are here!" The head butler reasoned out as he defended himself.

"Relax! Don't be so worked up! This incident has nothing to do with us. So it's okay if the police will conduct their investigation," Ronan softly mumbled, consoling his wife as he rubbed her shoulders.

"I know. It's just that I'm worried that the media will know this and our family and our villa will be in the headlines by tomorrow!"

Evelyn could only massage her temples. She just hoped that those three men didn't leave any evidence behind if they succeeded in killing Marceline before returning to the Zhou Villa.

Little did they know, it was Kira who reported this incident to the police.
