Chapter 1351


    The people who were sent to kill Sophia and kidnap Carmen didn’t seem to have any connections with


    each other, but Theo knew that they were aplices. After consecutively settling two groups of


    people, Theo figured that the matter wasn’t as simple as it seemed. With his sharp intuition, he quickly


    discovered that they were part of a gang that had resided in Bayside City for many years. But, there


    was no evidence to prove that this matter was rted to Jordan, nor was there any proof that these


    people were connected to him.


    In the past, no one knew about the rtionship between these two parties, but now that they were


    aware, they could use the excuse of cracking down on these criminals to end them once and for all.


    Theo personally led the team, and after a whole day’s work of uncovering one crime after another, they


    managed to remove thempletely from Bayside City, making sure to leave no trace behind. It


    affected nearly half the city, but from then on, that gang became history.


    Over the course of this entire day, ordinary citizens seemed to have noticed that something was going


    on. Riverdale was crawling with soldiers and police, and manypanies had let their employees off


    early.


    At midnight, Sophia received an overseas call from Callum. As soon as she picked up, Callum


    eximed, “Wow, Sophia, you’re amazing! You’ve actually managed to get rid of one of Jordan’s


    support systems. That gang is one that he’s been secretly operating in Bayside City for many years


    now! You’re awesome!”


    After Cooper and Linus were caught, Callum reckoned that they were going to be finished off by


    Jordan, one by one!


    To their surprise, they were informed early in the morning that one of Jordan’s support systems had


    been destroyed. If it wasn’t because he was quick to cut ties with them, he would’ve been implicated by


    now.


    Unsurprisingly, that gang belonged to Jordan, and it was one of his strongest support systems. In fact,


    in Bayside City, they were considered a part of the Edwards Group.


    Hence, he didn’t expect that Sophia would manage to find a way to eradicate his biggest support


    system!


    It was incredible!


    Upon hearing this, Sophia let out a coldugh before hanging up.


    In her mind, she was registering the secret information that had just been uncovered.


    Since Jordan and that secret society were rted and they were one of his support systems, they must


    have been operating for many years. His support system would be like his limbs—attached to him in


    some way. As bones were attached to the tendons, it would be impossible to perform a clean break in


    just one day.


    Early the next day, Taylor made a post on his Twitter. There were only two videos with no text


    captioning them.


    The first video was footage taken from the highway’s surveince camera of Sophia nearly being


    crushed by the two trucks. Four vehicles could be seen trying to enclose a small sports car, potentially


    crushing it at any moment. In the end, the tiny Dragon Eye sports car managed to escape.


    The second video was of Carmen nearly being taken away at the kindergarten entrance.


    As soon as the videos were posted, they became a hot topic, and it evoked a sense of panic in the


    public.


    They never expected that there were people in Bayside City who would try to nab a child and murder


    someone in broad daylight!


    Did thew even exist anymore?


    The relevant authorities made official announcements stating that they had eliminated the gang behind


    this and that the case was currently under investigation.


    At noon, a massive group of police and soldiers surrounded Edwards Group Tower, blocking off all the


    passages and entryways. Edwards Group was having a board meeting, so every director was present


    as well as certain shareholders. They rushed in and arrested several of Edwards Groups’ people based


    on the leads they had received, whisking them away without any questioning.


    By the time Jordan arrived at the scene, numerous Edwards Group employees had already been


    handcuffed and were being stuffed into the cars.


    Jordan had arrived with awyer. All along, he had been calm and collected as if he was the head of


    the Edwards Family that had everything in the palm of his hands. But today, he was unexpectedly


    anxious.


    Only he knew the pain of losing an entire support system. To make matters worse, the Fletchers were


    going after the Edwards Group as well!


    At first, he figured that although the situation had gotten awry, they would not be able to ce the


    me on him. But, he had to admit that this time, he had truly underestimated his opponents.


    However, it was no use for them to go after him as they didn’t have any evidence.


    When he took notice of Jordan’s arrival, Joel said, “Mr. Edwards, I know what you want to say, but your


    subordinates are suspected of being involved in gang matters, murder, and child abduction. You and


    yourwyer should follow us to the station.”


    Jordan shot Joel a fierce re before getting into the police car.


    This time, he was truly faced with a huge setback.


    Concerned, Lucy said from outside the car, “Dad, be careful.”


    Jordan chuckled coldly. “Don’t worry. I’ll be back soon.”


    The car left, and many of Edwards Group’s employees were carted away for investigation, grumbling,


    and swearing along the way.


    Eventually, news channels began to report about the Edwards Group being involved with gangs, and


    how a number of their senior executives were captured.


    As she watched the line of cars drive off, Lucy had a look of worry stered on her face, but it was just


    an act, as her eyes seemed to gleam with an evil light.


    Behind her, Ian asked worriedly, “What do we do about those few executives that held high positions?”


    Lucy hid away her false look of concern and smiled. “Thepany has to continue operating as usual.


    We won’t stop because of the departure of those few people. It seems that those directors won’t be


    able toe back to the office for the time being, so I reckon we let our people take their ces.”


    Lucy turned and walked into the Edwards Group, satisfied with the situation.


    She didn’t expect that Jordan would find himself in such a mishap this time. It seemed that the man


    was failing miserably at every turn. He wanted to mess with Cooper by tackling Sophia and Carmen but


    faced a counter-attack instead.


    Jordan had ways to free himself, but the case was different for the other employees of Edwards Group.


    After all, the Fletchers had to kill a few people to get revenge.


    The Fletchers couldn’ty a finger on Jordan for the time being, but they could undoubtedly finish off a


    few of hisckeys. Besides, Michael was a well-known public figure, so the effect that the attempted


    murder on his wife had on the public was not something to be ignored. Ultimately, they had to get rid of


    several people to set things straight in the eyes of the public.


    Naturally, the name list was given by Lucy. On it were the names of Jordan’s most trusted subordinates


    in Edwards Group. After getting rid of them, the chance to unravel Edwards Group would be just


    around the corner.


    This time, Jordan had formed a wless n: kill Sophia in an ident and if the higher-ups tried to


    investigate, it would just appear as a normal car ident; at the same time, someone would kidnap


    Carmen at the kindergarten. The consequence for killing a child was severe, so he originally nned to


    keep her for twelve hours before letting the police find her.


    These twelve hours would be enough to let Cooper lose his head. It would certainly be a critical blow to


    him.

    However, he didn’t expect that Sophia would survive and that they would use the kidnappers as a


    means of getting to the root of the situation. The most aggravating thing was that they had even gotten


    the Edwards Group involved, and plenty of his most trusted subordinates had been arrested.


    It seemed that those people were destined to be pawns to quell the wrath of the Fletchers and the


    public.


    This was a delicate moment for Jordan. One wrong move would lead to another, and everything would


    be screwed up.


    At the same time, Jordan received word that something had happened in Europe, so he went there in a


    hurry.


    Before he got on the ne, he learned that Cooper and Linus had been acquitted.


    With the dramatic growth of Cooper and his son’s reputations over this time, as well as the pressure


    from multiple parties, the authorities gave up on the notion of tormenting Cooper and allowed them to


    return home.
