Chapter 559 Blood Abuse of Despicable Villain
The next day, in a swanky nightclub, the top VIP room was filled with smoke and the sounds of laughter and music.
Gordon was soaking up the attention of beautiful women and savoring fine wine, feeling more triumphant and carefree than ever.
Sitting across from him was none other than Calvin, the current heir and CEO of the Alexander Group.
Getting an invite from Calvin to tonight's gathering meant Gordon had earned Calvin's approval. He was now officially in with the Alexander family.
From now on, he could easily navigate between the Wellington Group and the Alexander family. Did he still need to worry about the Taylor family?
"Mr. Alexander, it was just a small favor. You're too kind," Gordon said, holding a sultry woman in his arms.
"A few drinks are nothing," Calvin replied, swirling his wine glass and raising an eyebrow with a smirk. "But I gotta say, Mr. Flynn, you've got some nerve pinning an assault charge on your own brother.
First, it helps Randy blow off some steam since someone had to take the fall for his actions.
Second, it messes with William and Jennifer's relationship. Your mom dotes on her son and would never want him to marry Jennifer, right? You're pretty crafty."
Since they couldn't deal with Edward and Evelyn directly for now, they would target those around them.
If Randy couldn't have the woman, William wanted her? Dream on!
"It's all thanks to your generosity, Mr. Alexander," Gordon said, dropping his polished facade, his eyes gleaming with greed. "Seeing as the target was my own brother, the price you offered was quite substantial. Of course, I had to fully cooperate with your plan."
"That was your brother who grew up with you. Don't you feel any remorse?" Calvin asked with a smile.
"Heh, he's not my brother," Gordon spat out, his eyes filled with malice. "He's just a dog raised by Evelyn!"
Calvin clicked his tongue and took a sip of his wine.
"Mr. Alexander, you know my prowess in the legal field. I can handle Randy's case and help you turn the tables. Moreover, if your group ever needs legal assistance, you can always count on me. I'm at your service."
Calvin lazily lifted his eyelids, looking at Gordon's eager face, and chuckled, "No wonder Mr. Flynn has such a reputation. You're quite the smooth operator."
"From what I know, you've been closely associated with Mr. Wellington and have helped the Wellington Group clean up their messes more than once."
"But recently, with Mrs. Wellington's drug case, your handling seems less than satisfactory. Mrs. Wellington is still in custody, and her trial is approaching. The case has caused a significant public outcry, and even the Wellington Group couldn't stop it from going to open court."
His smile turned disdainful. "Mr. Flynn's undefeated legend was shattered by Evelyn and Edward, and this news has spread in the industry, leading to fewer cases coming your way recently. So tell me, how can I trust your professional abilities now?"
Gordon's smile froze awkwardly.
"Even if it's an open trial, the courtroom is my stage. Even if I can't acquit Mrs. Wellington, I can reduce her sentence to the minimum!" Gordon gritted his teeth and downed a large glass of wine. "Just wait and see."
"Then I'll be waiting for your good news," Calvin said mockingly. "If you can handle the Wellington family's troubles and prove your abilities, we'll have plenty of opportunities to work together in the future."
Gordon stumbled drunkenly towards the parking lot.
His mood had shifted from elation to feeling like a heavy stone was pressing on his chest, making it hard to breathe.
It was only now that he realized he had been used by Calvin! Not only had Calvin turned his back on him, but he had also made empty promises. The Alexander family was truly a den of vipers!
"Damn it... If it weren't for Tiffany's case going south, do you think a top lawyer like me would attend your lousy party?" Gordon muttered angrily, yanking off his tie and spitting on the ground. "Just wait, when Tiffany's case goes to trial, I'll win a stunning victory. Then, even if you beg me on your knees, I won't give you the time of day!"
As he squinted and pulled out his phone to call for a ride, four young men in floral shirts emerged from the shadows, holding clubs and grinning as they surrounded him.
"What... what do you want?" Gordon sobered up quickly, his eyes wide with fear.
"Can't you tell? We're here to beat you up."
Before he could react, a club swung down on his back, knocking him to the ground!
"Do you know who I am?" Gordon screamed, his spine feeling like it was about to snap. He lay on the ground, trembling with fear but still trying to maintain his bravado. "I'm a top lawyer! I'm the legal advisor for the Wellington Group! The Alexander family CEO is a close friend of mine!"
"If you dare hit me, I'll make sure you can't survive in Mugden! I'll make sure you rot in prison!"
"Who are you trying to scare? We're regulars in prison; it's like going home for us. Do you think we care?"
"We heard you're a scumbag lawyer who takes any case. We're just doing God's work! Beat him up!"
Gordon curled into a ball, covering his head with his arms, as the four men kicked and hit him like a baseball.
"Ahhh! I was wrong! I was wrong! Spare me!"
In just a few minutes, he had multiple fractures, his head was bleeding, and he was on his knees, begging for mercy.
Not far away, a luxury car silently watched.
Cody leaned against the car window, recording the scene on his phone, unable to suppress his laughter.
He sent the video to Susan on WhatsApp.
[How about it? Should I add a little extra? Like taking a dump in his mouth?]
He followed up with a cute bear emoji, which was completely out of character for a small-time gang leader.
After a while, Susan replied with one word: [Disgusting.]
A few seconds later, she added three more words:
[Go for it.]
[Yes, ma'am!]
But after waiting for a long time, Susan didn't reply again.
Cody kept looking at her brief messages, feeling both indulgent and helpless. "Tch, she won't even chat a bit more. Still as stingy as ever."
Five days passed in a flash.
A lot had happened in those days. Charlie had gone to find Evelyn but was intercepted by Landon and Ulysses. No matter how much he pressured them, they refused to reveal Evelyn's whereabouts.
They only told Charlie that no matter who Evelyn was with, she was safest with Edward.
Charlie had lived for sixty years and suddenly realized a problem.
He thought having a bunch of kids would be his safeguard in old age. Turns out, they were safeguarding themselves from him!
His mindset was shattered!
Over at the Alexander family.
The first thing Randy did after getting out of jail was to get his two front teeth fixed. Under the protection of the Alexander family, he continued to live a carefree life.
Despite his bruised and swollen face, it didn't stop him from throwing a party at the Alexander Mansion's guest house, inviting a bunch of young models for a night of debauchery.
Randy was so furious that he took an entire pack of Cialis, which led to a drug overdose. He ended up foaming at the mouth and convulsing, and had to be rushed to the hospital for a stomach pump.
Elbert was both angry and worried when he found out, but he had to swallow his frustration and secretly find ways to treat Randy.
The Taylor family had dropped their lawsuit, which Elbert considered a stroke of luck. At this point, even if he wanted revenge, he had to lay low and bide his time.
Gordon, on the other hand, had it much worse.
Not only was he beaten up that night, but Cody had followed through on his threat and had his men stuff Gordon's mouth with fresh feces.
For the next few days, Gordon couldn't eat anything without tasting shit. He kept dry heaving and even got so depressed that he developed a high fever!
This humiliation was worse than death for him!
Gordon couldn't figure out who was so shameless as to make him eat shit!
One night, Gordon sat up in bed, suddenly struck by a memory.
He vaguely remembered seeing a red bird pin on the collar of one of the thugs who beat him up.
The BloodhawKnightSpear Group, the biggest gang in Mugden?
Gordon let out a scream, clutching his head, his teeth chattering, and his body drenched in cold sweat!
Today, delegations from five major cities and their key leaders gathered in Mugden to meet with the mayor and a group of council members.
As the wife of a councilman, Helen had been preparing her dress for a week.
Since marrying Zachary Scott, she had meticulously planned his career, managed his connections in politics and business, built his public image, and garnered votes... all to elevate him to his current position.
Now, all the pieces were in place. If Zachary won this year's election, he would become the next mayor of Mugden!
That would bring her one step closer to her goal of becoming the first lady!
As Helen helped Zachary with his tie, she reminded him of what to say and do during the meeting to present himself well. Zachary listened with a look of impatience.
"Alright, alright, I got it!"
Zachary pushed her hands away, frowning as he tied his tie himself, muttering, "You used to be so straightforward. Why are you so naggy now?"
"Now that your career is taking off, you're starting to resent me?"
Helen snapped, jabbing his forehead with her sharp nails. "You wouldn't be where you are without me! Let me tell you, without me, you're nothing!"
Zachary glared at her angrily before heading to the bathroom.
As soon as he left, his phone buzzed on the nightstand.
Helen, who had secretly learned Zachary's phone password, picked it up and unlocked it.
When she saw the steamy messages between Zachary and his lover, and realized there were multiple flirty contacts in his WhatsApp, she became a volcano on the verge of eruption, her eyes blazing with fury!
Helen stormed into the bathroom and threw the phone at his face. "Zachary! How dare you cheat on me!"
Zachary was stunned. "You snooped on my phone? How could you..."
"I'm your wife! Why can't I look?"
Helen, forgetting her image as a councilman's wife, grabbed his collar and shook him violently, hysterical. "I've been so good to you, and this is how you repay me? You ungrateful bastard!"
She tried to slap him, but Zachary caught her wrist and shoved her back hard.
"Ah!"
Helen stumbled and hit the door, gasping in pain, her eyes wide with shock.
"You dare hit me... I'm the eldest daughter of the Alexander Group! How dare you lay a hand on me?"
"I've had enough of you, you wretched woman!"
Zachary pointed a finger at her stunned face. "The election is coming up. If you want to cause trouble and ruin everything we've built, go ahead!"
"But remember, we're in this together. If I go down, so do you!"
Helen's face turned pale, her eyes wide with disbelief.
She never imagined that her efforts to groom this man would become his weapon against her!
"All these years, you've used your family status to suppress and humiliate me, and I've endured it. I've played the loving husband in public for you!"
"From now on, stay out of my business. Do your job as a councilman's wife, and we'll both have a good life! Otherwise... we're done!"
Zachary straightened his disheveled collar, not bothering to look at her again, and slammed the door on his way out.
Helen sat on the floor, tears streaming down her face.
After a long while, she got up, wiped her tears, and forced a smile in the mirror, a smile so stiff it was eerie.
"Yes... yes! Those sluts are nothing. I'm the future mayor's wife! I need to be magnanimous! I need to see the big picture!"
"Once everything is settled, I'll deal with them one by one! Just wait!"
At five o'clock sharp.
The reception for the delegations was held at the Mugden Central Hall.
Mario and his wife, Zachary and his wife Helen, and other high-ranking officials and business elites from Mugden attended, surrounded by media and staff as they made their grand entrance.
Elbert, the chairman of the Alexander Group, and Calvin, the CEO, were also invited as business representatives.
So, except for the still-recovering Randy and the always mysterious Gilbert, the entire Alexander family was present.
Amidst all the glamour, no one noticed.
A black luxury van had quietly parked across from the hall.
Behind the tinted windows, Edward wrapped his arm around Evelyn's waist, lifting her onto his lap. He kissed her soft lips, his eyes red, slowly and deliberately exploring her mouth.
"Enough, you," Evelyn panted, pushing him away, her lips flushed like ripe cherries. "We're here for work!"
"We are working," Edward said with a seductive smile.
"You... I mean real work, not this!" Evelyn's cheeks were flushed as she playfully hit his chest with her fists.
"You're addictive, Evelyn."
Edward stroked her hair, unable to look away from her, and bit her earlobe gently. "I'll always crave you, never getting enough."
