Chapter 590 Dealing with Them One by One
Peyton had no clue that Harper was rocking those loose clothes because she just had babies and was still nursing.
She figured Harper was just some gold-digger trying to snag a rich guy, and even if Francis had a bum leg, she wouldn't care.
Plus, even in baggy clothes, Harper looked amazing, which made Peyton super jealous.
Peyton was ready to throw some serious shade and trash-talk Harper!
Harper just laughed and said, "Are you blind? Sure, his leg's messed up, but did you see his face? How many girls would be all over him? I like him, so what if I make a move?"
Peyton was floored; she didn't expect Harper to own up to it so boldly.
Even though Harper was right—Francis was seriously handsome, one of the best-looking guys Peyton had ever seen—Peyton wasn't backing down. "You witch! You say such shameless stuff like it's nothing. So shameless!"
"What's so shameless about it?" Harper chuckled. "We're both single. Why can't we like each other? Don't project your dirty thoughts onto us!"
Harper let her true feelings slip, adding a bit of fiction about mutual affection. She was a bit reckless with her words because Peyton had really ticked her off.
Not giving Peyton a chance to clap back, Harper said, "People like you, with your dirty mind and dirty heart, are just disgusting!"
Peyton was fuming and said, "Don't think you can act all high and mighty just because you're pretty. I'll find someone to gouge out your eyes!"
"So what if I'm pretty? Does it bother you?" Harper added.
After a few rounds of arguing, Harper had Peyton's insult game figured out.
Peyton would start with a flood of insults, baseless accusations, and slander, trying to crush the other person's confidence, making them easy to manipulate.
If someone wasn't mentally strong or was going through a tough time, Peyton's baseless curses could really mess with their head.
Luckily, Harper had long since bounced back and was mentally strong, so Peyton couldn't touch her.
Harper shot back, "I suggest you don't lose weight because at least now you can blame your ugliness on being fat. Once you lose weight, you won't have any excuse to hide your ugliness. Everyone will see that it's your ugly heart that makes your face ugly!"
Peyton was usually the one making people faint with anger, but today, she was the one about to pass out from rage!
"You!" Peyton was so mad she could barely breathe, clutching her hand tightly and gasping for air.
Just then, a skinny guy ran over, "Honey, what's wrong?"
It was Peyton's husband, Gerald Thorne.
Peyton pointed at Harper and Francis, crying, "These two bullied me! Get them!"
Peyton's tone was so cocky, she made killing sound as easy as squashing a bug. It was obvious she had done plenty of nasty stuff in her life!
Gerald, who always did whatever Peyton said, replied, "Alright, I'll get someone to take care of them right now!"
"Come here," Gerald shouted.
An older guy with graying hair walked over respectfully, "Mr. Thorne, what do you need?"
Seeing it was the driver, Indigo Myers, Gerald frowned and asked, "Where are the bodyguards?"
Indigo replied respectfully, "They're waiting by the car like you told them. Should I call them over?"
"No need!" Gerald waved him off impatiently, "You do it. Come here and beat these two up!"
Indigo was stunned; he'd never done anything like that before!
"Mr. Thorne, this is a public place. Maybe there's a misunderstanding. Let's talk it out..."
Before Indigo could finish, Gerald threw a shoe at his face!
Gerald cursed, "When I say beat them, you beat them! Why all the talking?"
The thick-heeled shoe hit hard, making Indigo's teeth bleed.
"Dad!" Bill, who had been standing quietly in the background, ran over, hugging the graying Indigo and crying, "Dad, why did he hit you? You did nothing wrong. Didn't you tell me Mr. Thorne respects you? You lied to me!"
Even though Indigo had to endure beatings and scoldings for a living, he always wanted to teach Bill well.
So, every time, Indigo would make up stories about Gerald respecting him, making the job sound easy, not wanting Bill to worry.
Luckily, Bill had been well-educated by Indigo!
Bill turned to Gerald, his eyes full of determination, and argued, "Mr. Thorne, you shouldn't hit my dad for no reason. Your order was wrong, and he doesn't have to obey it."
Bill firmly said, "I hope you apologize to my dad for hitting him!"
Another shoe flew directly at Bill's head.
Seeing this, Indigo quickly shielded Bill with his back, taking the heavy blow but holding Bill tightly in his arms.
Gerald cursed, "How dare you lecture me? Your dad begged me for this job, and you dare ask me to apologize? Who do you think you are!"
Harper was truly shocked! This family didn't treat their employees like human beings at all!
Gerald, now shoeless, picked up a stone to throw at Indigo and Bill.
"Stop!" Harper shouted angrily at Gerald.
Gerald stopped and turned around, seeing that Harper was quite beautiful, and was momentarily stunned.
Seeing Gerald staring at Harper, Peyton was immediately displeased.
Peyton yanked Gerald's ear hard and angrily said, "What are you looking at?"
Gerald hurriedly said, "I wasn't looking at anything!"
Peyton pushed Gerald aside and glared at Harper, "You're always seducing men!"
Harper was truly exasperated.
Gerald showed a lecherous smile, "She is quite seductive. Even in loose clothes, you can tell she has a great figure!"
Peyton was livid, digging her nails into Gerald and snapping, "You're looking at her again! Do you want me to gouge out your eyes?"
"No, honey, you've got it all wrong!" Gerald argued, "I just think this woman is perfect for Mr. Smith. He loves those pure yet sexy types."
Zaid Smith was one of their business partners.
Peyton and Gerald often found women to send to Zaid to secure deals. They would even film explicit videos of the girls to blackmail them into keeping quiet!
As soon as he said this, Peyton immediately got it and then laughed. "Yes, let's send her to Mr. Smith!"
Gerald kept sneaking glances up and down, wondering if he could have some fun with her before sending her to Zaid.
That lecherous look and his words made Francis's eyes flash with deep disgust. Without hesitation, he threw his cane!
The black custom cane hit Gerald's head hard, causing it to bleed immediately!
Gerald clutched his head, wailing, "Who hit me?"
The cane had flown so fast that Gerald didn't see it clearly and was dazed by the blow.
Peyton saw that the cane was thrown by Francis. She said, "Honey, tie these two up. Send the man to the rich ladies and the woman to Mr. Smith's bed!"
Gerald agreed wholeheartedly and shouted at Indigo, "Indigo, what are you standing there for? Handcuff the man first!"
Gerald thought that since Francis had a bad leg, Indigo should be able to subdue him. He intended to tie him up first, then have the bodyguards drag them to the car.
Indigo quickly walked up to Francis. Just when Harper thought she had misjudged him, he suddenly stood straight and bowed deeply to Harper. "Bill just told me that you are good people and that you helped him. Thank you!"
Harper was stunned and quickly waved her hand, saying, "I didn't help much. Bill did great too."
Gerald was furious and cursed, "What are you thanking them for? I told you to hit them!"
Indigo turned to Gerald and said, "Mr. Thorne, I won't help you do such things. In fact, I will protect this gentleman and lady!"
Gerald was almost driven mad by Indigo. He was supposed to be Indigo's boss, and now Indigo was saying he would protect others.
Gerald cursed, "You bastard, you don't want to work anymore, do you?"
Indigo threw off his tie, rolled up his sleeves to reveal his strong muscles, and shouted, "I quit!"
Gerald and Peyton always thought Indigo was weak, given his usually old and frail appearance.
So they never called him when doing bad things, thinking he was useless and leaving him to wait in the car.
They didn't realize Indigo was just hiding his strength, not wanting to help them do bad things.
"If you dare quit, I'll make sure your kid..." Before Gerald could finish, a gust of wind swept by.
Indigo punched Gerald in the face, shouting, "If you harm my son, I'll kill you!"
Gerald screamed. His head was already injured, and now with a punch to the face, he looked utterly ridiculous!
Bill jumped up and clapped, shouting, "Dad, you're so cool!"
In Bill's admiring gaze, Indigo found his confidence.
He then said to Gerald, "I will hand over the car's dashcam footage to the Dreamlandia police. You'll never return to Dreamlandia to do evil again!"
Although Indigo hadn't seen them commit crimes firsthand, Peyton and Gerald's conversations in the car had mentioned some things.
With this information, the police could follow the clues and find something.
Gerald's face changed instantly. He didn't expect Indigo to be so smart, installing a dashcam in the car without his knowledge!
They often did bad things, so they never installed dashcams in the car to avoid leaving evidence that could ruin their plans.
"Indigo, I'll skin you alive!" Gerald snarled.
At this moment, Victor arrived, but instead of bringing bodyguards, he brought the hospital's director, Garry Glenn.
Victor reported to Francis that Gerald and Peyton were at the hospital for a medical equipment deal.
They had bribed the leaders of Emerald Isle's medical department, supplying medical equipment to several hospitals there. This made them a lot of money, and with more money, they became more arrogant.
Gerald was familiar with Garry. Seeing Garry arrive, he immediately cried out, "Mr. Glenn, you have to help us! We're being bullied in your hospital. Get these people out of here!"
Gerald had it all planned out. Once these people were kicked out, his bodyguards would deal with them one by one. Especially Indigo, who held his secrets and had to be eliminated!
Garry, hearing Gerald's words, waved his hand, summoning the hospital security.
Emerald Isle wasn't like Dreamlandia; due to frequent gun and weapon fights, the hospital often dealt with armed brawlers.
These people usually didn't follow rules, and if someone wasn't saved, they might retaliate against the hospital.
So the hospital security was armed to ensure the safety of the patients and defend the hospital.
Several burly security guards, armed and walking in unison, approached.
Garry walked closer, repeatedly apologizing, "I'm sorry, Mr. Getty, for the trouble caused."
Gerald sneered but felt something was off when he heard Garry call Francis "Mr. Getty." After thinking about it, he figured Garry must have made a mistake; there was no way this person could be from the Getty family.
Gerald, feeling triumphant, said, "Now you know fear, huh? I warn you, if you resist..."
Gerald made a gesture of shooting at his head, "I'll have you all shot dead!"
He thought he had the upper hand, but the next moment, the security guards dragged him off the ground and escorted him out.
"Did you grab the wrong person?" Gerald shouted.
