Chapter 448
The rest of the family was at each other's throats, everyone wanting to be the new head, but none of them had anything to show for it.
Things were getting heated when Paxton's butler, Jonah, suddenly barged in.
"Are you guys done yet? Mr. Brown just died, and you're already fighting over his spot! Do you even get how bad things are for the Brown Family right now? The other three big families are definitely going to come after our assets!" Jonah shouted, clearly pissed.
"Who do you think you are, talking to us like that? Just a butler! What makes you think you can boss us around?" one of the family members sneered.
Jonah's face went cold as he looked around at them with eyes like a hawk.
"So, none of you can decide on a new head?" Jonah asked, surprisingly calm.
"Enough, Jonah. Who do you think you are? Get out of here right now," a woman snapped, slamming the table and standing up, glaring at him.
Jonah clapped his hands, and suddenly a bunch of guys stormed in, all pointing guns at the family.
"If you can't pick a new head, let me help you out," Jonah said, still calm.
"Jonah, what the hell are you doing? Are you betraying us? We're your masters," a woman screamed, furious.
Jonah signaled to one of his men, and the woman's head was blown off in an instant.
She slumped over, falling under the table.
Everyone was shocked at Jonah's ruthlessness.
"I thought you guys might be useful, but you're worse than trash. At least trash can be turned into fertilizer," Jonah said, his face icy.
The family members turned pale with fear.
Damian's eyes lit up like he had an idea.
"Jonah, if you support me as the head of the Brown Family, I'll give you the same deal Paxton did, maybe even better!" Damian said, looking smug. With Jonah's help, he could scare the others into making him the head.
Some family members glared at Damian, while others wished they'd thought of it first.
Jonah glanced at Damian. "You think you're smart?"
Damian hesitated. "Wait, Jonah, you're not gonna take my offer?"
Jonah raised his gun and shot Damian in the head.
"You guys aren't worth my time! Not even Paxton or Patrick from the Taylor Family had that privilege!" Jonah's face was full of contempt.
Jonah waved his hand, and his men opened fire, killing all the family members.
The living room was filled with smoke and screams.
When the gunfire stopped, all the Browns were dead.
Jonah looked around the room, not a hint of emotion on his face.
'I thought using a diary to get to Isabella through Paxton would work, but these idiots kept messing things up! Paxton's useless, can't even take out Isabella! How much longer do I have to play this undercover game?' Jonah fumed, kicking the bodies in frustration, his face growing darker with anger.
He only stopped when his shoes were soaked in blood.
Jonah wiped his shoes on the clothes of the dead, then turned and walked out of the Brown Villa.
Before getting into his car, Jonah glanced back at the place he'd worked for so many years.
"I was supposed to keep an eye on Patrick from the Taylor Family, but he sent me to go undercover with Paxton. Undercover work is one thing, but Paxton took most of the Taylor Family's assets, giving me plenty to investigate. Now, the Brown Family's gone, and I'm under suspicion. Damn superiors," Jonah muttered bitterly before getting into the car.
Soon after, a swarm of police officers arrived. They were there to arrest the Brown Family members based on anonymous tips about their crimes. But they didn't expect to find the evidence in someone else's hands.
When the cops got there, they were stunned to find all the Browns dead. Everyone started pointing fingers at Isabella or the other three big families.
But no matter who was to blame, one thing was clear: the entire Brown Family was wiped out.
When the news hit the other three major families, they were all in shock.
"What did you say? Paxton and Zoey are dead, and the rest of the family too?" Mason, leaning on his cane, looked at Charles in disbelief.
Charles nodded. "Yes, Mr. Mason Williams. I'm sure Mr. John Williams has heard the news too and is getting ready to take over the Brown Family's assets!"
Charles hoped Mason would jump at the chance to seize the Brown Family's assets. But instead, Mason frowned.
"Who do you think is behind this?" Mason asked.
Charles thought for a moment and shook his head. "I'm sorry, Mr. Williams, I really can't say. I only know Paxton was chasing certain people, but the police have sealed the info. The official story is that Paxton was killed by a pro hitman over a payment dispute."
Mason rolled his eyes. "Is Paxton short of money? That's the dumbest thing I've ever heard."
Charles gave a bitter smile and shook his head. "None of us believe it either. But this time, Alan's right-hand man is in charge, and our informants at the station couldn't dig up anything else."
After a moment of hesitation, Mason sighed. "Go ahead and arrange to take over the Brown Family's assets quickly. Then send them to Isabella."
