Chapter 630 The Stewart Family Was in Shambles
"I'll ask her now." Melinda was planning to call Willow up to ask about the situation.
Alicia was in a coma for a long time due to excessive bleeding. When she woke up, she was in a state
of confusion.
When she became more sober, she suddenly recalled the incident where Henry was taken away.
She was about to tell the Stewart family about this matter when Melinda called.
"Mom! Something happened!" Alicia shouted.
"What's the matter, Alicia? What happened? Aren't you safe now?" Melinda asked, confused.
"Caspian took Henry away!" Alicia said urgently.
"What? Why did he take Henry away?" Melinda asked in shock.
"Henry… " Alicia did not know how to continue.
She was afraid that her family would not be able to accept it if she were to reveal Henry's defection.
"Say it now! You're killing me here!" Melinda prodded.
"Mom, I'm going to need you to find something to hold on to in case you fall down," Alicia said.
"Hurry up and just say it already." Melinda was even more anxious.
"Henry had defected." Alicia knew very well that she would not be able to keep it to herself for long.
The Stewart family would find out sooner or later.
Hearing this, Melinda was stunned.
"What? How could Henry suddenly become a defector?" Melinda asked in disbelief.
In her mind, Henry would never do such a thing.
"Mom, Henry and the Hudson family colluded and joined sides with the Vadesians. That's why they
were arrested by Caspian," Alicia said.
"Didn't Henry go to the Hudson residence to look for you? So how did he defect?" Melinda asked,
puzzled.
"He was just saying that. The reason he came over was to join hands with the Hudson family to commit
treason!" Alicia said.
"No! No! Henry wouldn't do something like this. Logically speaking, the enemy's soldiers wouldn't beat
him up if he had defected." Melinda was becoming increasingly confused about everything.
"This isn't something that can be explained in a word or two. Anyway, it's a fact that Henry had
defected. Caspian had planned to execute him and the Hudson family by firing squad!" Alicia said in a
panic.
Hearing this, Melinda was so shocked to her core. She asked in fear, "Please don't scare me, Alicia.
I'm going to ask you again. Is everything you said true?"
"Why would I lie about this? Let's all come up with a way to save Henry. If we don't hurry, Henry might
die," Alicia urged.
"Okay. I will discuss it with your father immediately." Melinda no longer doubted Alicia's words.
It seemed like Henry was really in danger.
Melinda hung up the phone. She was just standing there, dazed.
The Stewart family also knew that Melinda was on the phone with Alicia. They wanted to know what the
two were talking about.
"Melinda, what happened? What did you talk about with Alicia?" Donald prodded.
"Alicia said that Henry had been arrested by Caspian," Melinda said.
"What? Didn't he save Henry and Alicia? Why did he arrest Henry?" Donald asked.
"What on earth happened? You'd better explain! You're making me anxious!" Marilyn asked, feeling
somewhat unsettled.
"Henry and the Hudson family defected, so Caspian had them arrested," Melinda said.
All the Stewart family members were stunned.
"Why would something like this happen? Didn't Henry go there to look for Alicia?" Donald was now at a
loss for what to do.
How did his son become a defector?
"I don't know what's going on either! What should we do now?" Melinda was utterly shocked that she
could no longer come up with a plan.
"Henry, that useless piece of scum. He had mentioned defecting back when we were at home. I can't
believe he actually became a traitor. He's a disgrace to our family!" Marilyn said angrily.
"Mother, let's not talk about this now. It's better for us to think of a way to save Henry!" Melinda said.
"He's already become a defector. How can we save him?" Marilyn fumed.
The crime of treason is punishable by capital punishment. They feared that nobody could save him.
"Caspian is Willow's husband. We might be able to save Henry by begging Caspian," Melinda said.
"Caspian is the Diatoranian God of War. He would never abuse his authority to manipulate the legal
process for personal gain. He'd surely punish Henry by firing squad.
"Besides, we're no longer related to Willow. Why would he help us?" Marilyn said anxiously.
She'd seen for herself how ruthless Caspian could be. It would be close to impossible for Caspian to
release him.
"Isn't Caspian really good to Willow? He listens to her well, too. Let's ask her to relay it to Caspian,"
Melinda said.
"Yeah! We're left with this option. Let's have Willow plead on behalf of us," Donald said again.
"Henry, that bastard. How dare he betray the country! He deserves to die.
"Let us not trouble Willow. We'll just let Henry pay for what he's done."
Marilyn finally vented her pent-up anger. She really didn't want to bother herself with Henry.
"Mother! Henry is the sole surviving bloodline to carry our family's legacy into the next generation. Do
you really want to see him get killed?" Melinda asked. Content © provided by NôvelDrama.Org.
Marilyn only regained her composure upon hearing this. Her adopted grandson had been killed. Henry
was the only one who could continue the Stewart family's lineage now.
"You should ask Willow and see what she says," Marilyn said after calming herself down.
…
At this moment, Balthazar and the others arrived at Jade Dragon Grand Hotel.
There were soldiers everywhere around the hotel. Unauthorized persons could not get close to it at all.
Even the people who had originally stayed in the hotel were not allowed to go in and out as they
wanted.
Sylvia brought her men and stood outside the hotel to greet Balthazar.
None of the hotel staff were allowed to leak whatever was going on at the hotel.
Caspian, Benjamin, John, and the others followed Balthazar to Jade Dragon Grand Hotel.
Nobody stayed in the lobby for too long. They took the elevator and headed to the top floor.
The entrance of the elevator on the top floor was guarded. No unauthorized person could come up.
Everyone went directly to the banquet hall on the top floor.
There were also soldiers patrolling around the banquet hall.
After entering the banquet hall, everyone sat down in order.
"The reason I have gathered everyone here so urgently today is because I have a very important
matter to discuss with you," Balthazar said while looking at everyone.
Everyone waited eagerly. Since Balthazar had spoken, this was no trivial matter.
"The four countries—Astronia, Vadesia, Filren, and Estrya attacked us this time but were all repelled by
us. Should we take this opportunity to expand our territory and then further expand our country's
influence?" Balthazar said sternly.
