Chapter 67 Fergus' Lackey
Things had gotten way out of hand. Who even wanted a wedding now?
"Oh my God, what just happened? Two people are dead, and Mr. Zimmerman got his limbs broken!"
"It's over, it's over. Tarynville's in for a disaster!"
"Mr. Zimmerman, Mr. Zimmerman, are you okay?" Everyone was freaking out, crowding around John to check on him.
"I'm gonna kill him! I'm gonna kill him!" John was still fuming, his face twisted with rage. He came here to confront Violet, only to get jumped by one of her goons. It was a huge slap in the face.
"Mr. Zimmerman, hang in there. The ambulance is on its way!" Logan knelt beside him, tears streaming down his face.
Logan suddenly turned and yelled, "Hayden, you useless piece of trash! You just stood there and let Mr. Zimmerman get attacked at your Westside Manor. You're gonna pay for this!"
Logan knew that after tonight, he and Hayden were no longer allies. They might even become enemies. So he had to act fast and shift John's anger onto Hayden.
Tyler's eyes darted around, and he also shouted angrily, "I told you I didn't want to marry Sophia, but you insisted for your stupid pride. If you had listened and canceled the wedding, Mr. Zimmerman wouldn't be in this state. This is all on you!"
Hayden was stunned. He didn't even have time to react.
"You scoundrel, you're just a scoundrel!"
"I used to respect you as the richest man in Tarynville, but I didn't know you were so dirty inside. Everything that happened today is your fault!"
"Breaking the prenuptial agreement is unethical, and standing by while Mr. Zimmerman was attacked is unkind. You're both unethical and unkind!"
The guests were united in their criticism, each contributing to the collective censure Anyway, Hayden's downfall would benefit everyone.
"You all!" Hayden felt like his head was about to explode. His body swayed, and he almost fell. Seeing the hundreds of hostile eyes, he knew he was done for.
Suddenly, he felt extreme regret. 'What if I hadn't driven Fergus away in the first place? What if I hadn't allied with Logan? Would things be different today?'
Amidst the crowd's condemnation, another announcement came from the entrance.
"Kevin Stevens, head of the Stevens Family from the State Capital, has arrived, bringing a set of jewelry worth $18.88 million as a wedding gift!"
An elderly man in a red suit with a full head of silver hair but a spirited demeanor walked in. He wasn't tall, but he exuded an aura of authority. It was Kevin!
Everyone turned to look.
"Oh my God, it's really Kevin Stevens. Why is he here?"
"The Stevens Family is ranked second among the five major families, just below the Henderson family. As the head, he's a big deal. Why did he come in person?"
"Mr. Stevens' status is definitely higher than Mr. Zimmerman's, and even higher than Ms. Gray's. Who invited him?"
All the guests were stunned. Such a big shot had no reason to be here. Even if he wanted to send his regards, sending a servant would have been enough to be treated as an honored guest!
Some guests quickly rushed over to greet him warmly.
"Alright, alright, don't crowd around me. I'm not the main character tonight." Kevin appeared very friendly, not daring to be otherwise because Fergus was here.
Back when he first got locked up, Kevin was all cocky, but Fergus had him washing his face with toilet water for two months. It messed him up so bad that now, the water in his home toilets had to be drinkable!
Kevin scanned the room but didn't spot Fergus. Made sense; big shots always made a grand entrance last.
He walked up to Hayden, clasped his hands, and said, "Mr. Johnson, I came uninvited. Hope you don't mind!"
Everyone was floored.
Kevin was so respectful to Hayden?
Hayden had connections with the Stevens Family, one of the five major families?
Logan and Tyler were dumbstruck. Supporting John was good, but the Zimmerman family was ranked third, and John was just an heir!
If they had known Hayden knew Kevin, they would never have said what they just did!
Hayden was also stunned!
He had never met Kevin.
However, his mood brightened. Kevin's presence was a great honor. With Kevin here, who would dare oppose him? Even John wouldn't dare do anything!
Hayden quickly clasped his hands and flattered, "Mr. Stevens, your presence makes tonight shine even brighter. I am deeply honored."
Kevin waved his hand and smiled. "I'm no big shot. There are even bigger figures coming later!"
If Fergus knew he was showing off at an event where Fergus was about to appear, he would be in big trouble.
This statement left all the guests bewildered. Even bigger figures? Who could it be if even Kevin Stevens didn't dare call himself a big shot?
Everyone looked at Hayden simultaneously.
Hayden was thrilled.
At this moment.
"Mr. Stevens!" A voice rang out from the crowd.
Everyone turned to look and remembered John lying on the ground!
"John?" Kevin also looked over and gasped, rushing over to check on him. "John, were you beaten up?"
Being from the State Capital, he naturally knew the heir of the Zimmerman family.
John nodded pitifully and complained, "Mr. Stevens, I was beaten by Fergus, Ms. Gray's partner in Tarynville. Mr. Stevens, I'm in so much pain. Did you bring any bodyguards? I want revenge, revenge!"
The two families weren't particularly close, but they were both among the five major families. If he played the victim in front of Kevin, Kevin would surely help.
Kevin felt a wave of fear and thought, 'Seeking revenge on Fergus is like courting death.'
But he still asked patiently, "Why did it happen?"
John shouted, "It was just a small matter. I only wanted to kill Fergus' lackey, but this scoundrel Fergus relied on Ms. Gray's backing to do whatever he wanted. Mr. Stevens, I want revenge!"
Logan immediately chimed in, "Mr. Stevens, Fergus is extremely arrogant. Fergus himself is Ms. Gray's lackey, and he dared to attack Mr. Zimmerman for his own lackey. This is intolerable!"
Tyler kept nodding. "Mr. Stevens, Mr. Zimmerman wanted to kill Fergus' lackey, and Fergus dared to stop him. This cannot be tolerated!"
After they finished speaking, they all awaited Kevin's response.
They knew that when Kevin got angry, he was a hundred times more terrifying than John. Kevin could kill Fergus with just a flick of his finger.
However, Kevin suddenly slapped Logan and his son hard, furious, "You have some nerve, wanting to kill Fergus' lackey? Fine, come on, I'm right here. Let's see who dares to try! Come on!"
Everyone was stunned again.
Logan and Tyler were left dizzy from the slaps.
"Mr. Stevens? What's wrong?" John was shocked, utterly confused.
Kevin shouted, "Fergus' lackey is me!"
"What?"
What was Kevin saying? They couldn't understand!
