Chapter 587 Opened
"This time, even if I can't take down Blackwood Group and Fusion Dynamics, I'm gonna mess 'em up real bad!" Logan snarled.
He had someone film this video for him back then.
He got Chloe to beg the Blackwoods, knowing she'd do anything for him. So, he had someone secretly record her kneeling.
Yesterday, Logan found out the Blackwoods moved to a new estate, and it made him green with envy and rage.
If it weren't for the Blackwoods, the Browns would be living the good life, and the Brown Group wouldn't have tanked so fast.
Logan fumed inside, 'Why did the Browns have to crash and burn while the Blackwoods are living it up? I can't stand it!'
"Dad, you should've dropped this video ages ago," Patricia grumbled, still ticked off.
She'd been through hell, while Sophia was living the dream, and it made her blood boil.
"Now's the perfect time. The Blackwood Group's move will get delayed for sure, and there's also Fusion Dynamics' fashion show in Country M," Logan explained to Patricia.
Patricia's eyes lit up as she listened.
"What about Sophia?"
"Sophia's tied to Fusion Dynamics. If something goes down with them, she's going down too."
Patricia was even more stoked now.
Logan, feeling good, had a bit too much to drink.
Suddenly, Patricia's phone buzzed on the table. Logan snatched it up faster than Patricia could react.
"A million bucks!" Logan counted, getting excited. "How do you have a million bucks?"
"Last time I asked you for money, you said you were broke."
Patricia quickly explained, "It's not my money; it's Miss Foster's."
"Yeah, right. You just don't want me to rebuild the family business." Logan, drunk and pissed, slapped Patricia across the face.
"Transfer the million to me right now."
"No way!" Patricia shot back.
That million was from a sugar daddy; she couldn't give it to Logan.
Even though she wanted Logan to start a business again, he was now just a drunk and a gambler, hoping to strike it rich that way.
So, no way was she giving him that money.
"I knew you were up to no good. Ever since I went bankrupt, you've looked down on me as your father," Logan, provoked, grabbed a wine glass and hurled it at Patricia.
Patricia dodged and tried to run, but Logan grabbed her arm.
Soon, Patricia's screams echoed through the place.
The neighbor across the way cracked their door, took a quick peek, then closed it and made a call.
Not long after, the cops showed up and caught Logan red-handed for domestic violence.
At the station, Tiffany rushed over and saw Patricia sitting in a chair, looking a mess with a wound on her face.
Seeing Tiffany, Patricia hugged her and cried.
"Tiffany, help me, please help me."
A look of satisfaction flashed in Tiffany's eyes. Patricia used to look down on her, but now she was begging for help.
This feeling made her feel good and very pleased.
"I told you long ago to leave your father, but you wouldn't listen. Now you've been beaten again."
Tiffany said a few words, then rolled her eyes.
"Yesterday, I had dinner with Mr. Wallace. He mentioned you. If you want to get rid of your father, why not ask Mr. Wallace for help?"
Patricia shook her head. "No way. Mr. Wallace is so old and fat. I won't go to him."
"Then no one can help you."
Patricia bit her lower lip hard.
She hated it, really hated it, but she had no way out.
Sophia now was one of the Blackwoods. She can't get her revenge with the powerful Blackwoods backing Sophia.
Logan regretted hitting Patricia after sobering up. He signed a guarantee and was released after a day.
Online public opinion continued to stir up, with the topic remaining hot every day.
Someone found Logan, and after he played the victim, some netizens started donating money to support his lawsuit.
Seeing the increasing amount in his account, Logan's eyes turned red.
On the third day, Logan led a group of people holding banners outside Fusion Dynamics Corporation, demanding that Fusion Dynamics Corporation pay for their crimes.
The scene was spectacular, severely damaging Fusion Dynamics Corporation's reputation.
Celeste remained calm.
"Let him make a fuss, the severer, the better."
Sophia vaguely guessed that Celeste had a plan.
She didn't waste her time either. That afternoon, she had someone send new photos to Ella.
Among them was a record of Patricia reporting Logan for domestic violence.
That weekend, Gabriel was at home with the kids. Because of the video, Sophia was worried Jennifer couldn't handle it alone, so she went to help.
Ethan was still helding the metal box.
No one knew what was inside the box; it made no sound when shaken.
Gabriel wanted to pry it open, but even professionals said it was impossible.
Forcing it open might damage the contents inside.
After trying various methods and failed, Gabriel could only continue studying the mechanism.
Gabriel and Ethan sat on the floor. Gabriel flipped through a book while Ethan followed his instructions.
After more than an hour of work, fine beads of sweat covered Ethan's forehead. Suddenly, his eyes lit up.
"Daddy, it's halfway open!"
Gabriel was delighted. "Keep going."
Another half hour passed.
With a sound, the metal box opened.
Ethan proudly puffed out his chest.
Finally, he hadn't let Sophia down.
Gabriel happily took out the contents, but as he looked at them, his smile disappeared, his expression growing more serious and tinged with anger.
Celeste greeted, "Everyone."
After two days of protesting with banners at Fusion Dynamics Corporation, Celestefinally came out.
Accompanied by Jennifer and Sophia, Celeste walked out, surrounded by many bodyguards.
Logan's eyes gleamed when he saw them.
He pointed at them angrily and passionately. "They are the ones who caused my elderly mother to kneel in the snow."
"An eye for an eye. Don't think you can cheat the law just because you have money." Someone immediately shouted.
"They are powerful, but God won't forgive you."
All abuses and criticism were thrown at them again.
Fusion Dynamics Corporation's legal counsel held a megaphone. "Everyone, please quiet down. You want an explanation, and we can give it to you now."
"What's there to explain? Forcing an old woman to her death is a crime. Call the police and arrest these capitalists."
"Arrest them now."
"If the police won't arrest them, we will."
Someone in the crowd shouted, and immediately, some people tried to rush forward, but the bodyguards fought them off.
However, one person managed to get through, holding something and throwing it at Celeste. Sophia immediately shielded Celeste.
