Chapter 668
Owen cleared his throat and said, “Let’s get to business first.”
“Surveillance footage can be faked, too,” Tyree said, utterly convinced it was Aria.
“Echohawk never denies her kills, Emmett said. “If she says she didn’t, then she didn’t.”
Echohawk murdered Marcus for Sara’s sake, killed a senior member of the Solemnity Guild, and when the Solemnity Guild sought to execute her, she never denied any of the accusations.
Olivia was just nobody. If Echohawk really killed her, she would admit it. Besides, Tyree wouldn’t be around much longer
anyway.
If Echohawk said she didn’t do it, the Solemnity Guild members would never doubt her word.
Emmett ordered, “Wade, go investigate and find out who’s framing Echohawk.”
Wade felt a sudden pang of annoyance, and he thought, ‘If it weren’t for all this drama, I’d already be squaring off with Echohawk by now!
He said, “Dead is dead. What’s the big deal?”

Emmett swiftly confiscated the gun, his gaze turning steely. He warned, “Mr. Tyree Remar, whatever vendetta the Wolfshade Syndicate has, take it elsewhere. This is Solemnity Guild turf.”
Tyree’s eyes burned crimson as he glared at Russell. “If I’d known then what I know now, I should’ve just watched Sara die in agony,” he snarled.

Tyree thought, ‘The ungrateful wretch I raised now is the one who murdered my daughter.’
“Funny you should say that,” Russell suddenly grinned, a chilling smile spreading across his face as he bared his teeth. “I also regret not sending Olivia to her grave sooner. At the very least, she should’ve had a taste of torture herself.”
Wade felt a flicker of disappointment. ‘Why didn’t he pull the trigger at me?’ he thought. ‘I was all set to take him out.
