Chapter 20


    Previously, the security guards, who had been equally bewildered by Vincent’s sudden decision, were


    now confused.


    After Vincent’s furious shout, the security guards finally came to their senses and began to realize what


    was happening.


    In an instant, more than a dozen security guards rushed out from the edges of the hall and surrounded


    the group of people. from the Taylor family.


    “It’s impossible!


    “Impossible! It couldn’t be!” said Caleb hopelessly.


    At this moment, Caleb let out a piercing scream.


    The sudden and unexpected turn of events left the Taylor family members, who were about to secure a


    600-million-dor deal, feeling like a bucket of ice-cold water had been poured over them.


    They had no idea what was happening or how things had escted to this point and turned into a


    mess.


    The security guards had already lifted the Taylor family members off the ground.


    Ruby was suspended in mid-air, her legs iling and kicking wildly. Her eyes were filled with rage, and


    she kept screaming.


    “Let go of me!


    “This isn’t how things should be!


    “This deal today should rightfully belong to the Taylor family. It can’t be, absolutely not!” imed Ruby


    in a high-pitched


    voice.


    On the other hand, the assembled Jackson, although not struggling physically, had a pale face and a


    skeptical look as he shouted at Vincent on the high tform in disbelief.


    “Mr. Dunn, are you joking with us?


    “The coboration between our Taylor family and Horizon Group has been wless for so many years.


    We’ve had a perfect partnership. What is happening today?” Jackson eximed with a sense of


    bewilderment, his voice filled with disbelief.


    However, Vincent paid no attention to Jackson.


    He sarcastically felt that the Taylor family’s members were all ignorant.


    In his eyes, he couldn’t believe that someone dared to insult and defame his master, Gavin, in such a


    manner.


    After that, he seemed to think the Taylor family had no ce in this world.


    On this side, Jackson, seeing that Vincentpletely ignored him, frantically searched the crowd and


    found William hiding and trying to avoid attention.


    He shouted at the top of his lungs.


    “Mr. Foster, didn’t you tell me that the Taylor family had already been chosen?


    “How did it turn into this?”


    Hearing Jackson’s words, William, who was hiding in the crowd, instantly turned pale with shock.


    He jumped out and shouted at the security guards.


    “They’re spreading lies!” said William.


    Then, he red at Jackson and shouted at him.


    “Bastard! Your family, the Taylor family, is already on the verge of death, and you still want to drag me


    down?


    “Beat him! Beat him to a pulp!” said William.


    As a high-ranking Horizon Group member, William immediately gave orders to the security guards.


    Upon hearing William’s instructions, the security guards immediately turned and started physically


    assaulting Jackson and all the members of the Taylor family.

    Screams from the Taylor family members were everywhere.


    ‘Don’t hit!


    “Not the face!


    “My mouth!” One of the Taylor family members cried in pain as the guards continued their brutal


    assault.


    The entire hall was filled with the cries of the Taylor family members.


    However, these screams grew fainter as time passed, and soon, the Taylor family members were


    escorted out of the hall.


    Except for La,


    She stood in ce, looking confused, like an outsider who had no idea what was happening.


    The security guards also seemed to overlook her as part of the Taylor family.


    However, as soon as she regained her senses, she quickly followed her family members who had been


    beaten and thrown


    OUL


    The hall fell silent once more as the chaos outside was left behind, and the tension inside continued to


    build.


    Silence reigned as everyone felt the rage emanating from Vincent, the wealthiest man in Brookspring.


    At this moment, Vincent’s stern voice resonated again, “William Foster!”


    A nervous-looking William shuddered. His face turned pale, and he stood still immediately.


    He replied, “Mr. Dunn.”


    Vincent shouted at William as he replied.


    “You,e over here!”


    With that, he turned around and walked away without any hesitation.


    Even the bidding event for the 600-million-dor project seemed insignificant to him now.


    Of course/Gavin would always hold the highest position ande first in his mind.


    The Taylor family members were beaten and thrown out of the venue. After being forcefully removed


    from the venue, the Taylor family members continued causing a scene at the event’s entrance.


    They were attempting to force their way back into the event.


    Eventually, many ck-d individuals arrived. They were all from the Horizon Group.


    Although the Taylor family had risen to prominence within the Brookspring area, they were cautious not


    to confront the Horizon Group openly.


    However, they didn’t dare to confront Horizon Group directly. After all, the Horizon Group had elevated


    them to their


    current status.


    So, they returned home with their heads hung low.


    However, they did not encounter Gavin upon returning home.


    At that moment, Gavin still believed that the bidding event would continue for some time. He realized


    that he couldn’t just


    wait forever.


    Instead, finding a stable ce for his younger sister would be better. After the Clifford family had been


    rebuilt, he could move back there. It wouldn’t be appropriate to keep living in a hotel for the rest of his


    life.


    As a result of the Taylor family being expelled from the bidding event, Vincent was utterly unknown to


    Gavin..


    The Taylor family.


    After returning to the Taylor family’s residence, the people from the Taylor family, including Jackson,


    Caleb, Ruby, and Ruby’s younger sister, were all sitting on chairs with swollen faces, bruised and


    battered faces, and dressed coarsely. They were nursing their wounds.


    The servants and attendants around them hurried about, serving their masters diligently.


    The only person who was unharmed was La, who stood in the middle of the hall with a bewildered


    expression.


    Elliott, who had stayed at home, was also shocked and anxious when he saw his parents, uncle, and


    aunt in such a state.


    He anxiously eximed, “What happened?


    “Mom, Dad, Uncle, and Aunt, what’s happening? What went wrong?


    “Weren’t you supposed to attend the Horizon Group bidding event? How did things turn out like this?”


    Caleb, who was ring at his son, angrily scolded. ‘Get lost! Stop being a nuisance. Don’t stand here


    bothering us here! Who do you expect me to ask if I don’t know? You’re asking me, but who should I


    ask?”


    While he said this, even though he scolded his son, after scolding, he immediately turned to his eldest


    brother, Jackson.


    He asked, “Jackson, why don’t you call Mr. Foster and find out what’s going on?


    “Wasn’t it agreed that we, the Taylor family, were already preselected? Why were we kicked out of the


    venue?”


    Jackson red at his younger brother and responded impatiently.


    He said with irritation, I don’t need to ask that jerk anything! We got beaten up because of that jerk’s


    incitement. Isn’t it tant?”


    Just as he finished speaking, Jackson’s phone suddenly rang. As he saw the caller ID, he was


    momentarily stunned. The next moment, he quickly answered the call, his expression immediately


    bing obsequious.


    He spoke more smoothly, “Mr. Foster, you finally called us.”


    It’s pretty astonishing how quickly his tone changed from cursing to obsequiousness. He had shifted


    from cursing William as a terrible person in one moment to being all smiles when William called in the


    next.


    Understood.


    On this side, Jackson’s voice didn’t stop there.


    He continued speaking into the phone, “What happened today? Can you tell us?”


    “Can you even ask me?” said William angrily as his roar suddenly came through the phone.


    The entire living room, where all the Taylor family members were present, could hear William’s angry


    voice, which was loud and clear.


    William’s angry voice kepting from the phone.


    He continued, “You should ask yourself. Ask the Taylor family if you’ve messed with the wrong people!


    “Now, you dare to ask me? I am telling you, no matter who asks in the future, don’t say that you


    recognize me! Don’t ever mention to anyone that you know me!


    “Also, I’ll refund all the money you gave me. That’s it. We won’t see each other again!”


    The conversation ended.


    There was a loud “click” as William abruptly hung up, leaving Jackson bewildered.


    Jackson looked around, hesitated for a moment, and then spoke.


    “Have we… offended someone we shouldn’t have?” asked Jackson.


    Of course, the other Taylor family members had heard William’s words, and at this moment, they all


    had confused and puzzled expressions. They were equally bewildered.


    Ruby shook her head and replied to Jackson.


    “It shouldn’t be. As the Taylor family, we have always been well-behaved and conscientious. How could


    we have provoked someone?” Ruby replied, sounding just as confused as the rest of the family.


    At this moment, Elliott, standing on the side, cautiously spoke up.


    He said, “Could it be rted to Gavin, who came to cause trouble at our Taylor family’s ce before?”
