Chapter 23
The Taylor Vi.
At the Taylor Vi, Ruby Taylor, who was holding an ice pack and
applying it to her eyes, was astonished and surprised to see La Taylor return unharmed.
She questioned her immediately when she saw her. She asked, “Why are you here? Why are you back
home?
“You didn’t go. Moreover, you didn’t even try, did you?”
As she faced Ruby’s questioning, La, bolstered by Vincent’s verbal confirmation and newfound
confidence from his assurance, directly responded to Ruby.
“I did. I went to see Mr. Dunn,” said La.
“Really? You went to see Mr. Dunn?” Ruby was momentarily taken aback and was surprised by this
revtion.
Ruby immediately responded as he was more concerned about how things and matters were going.
“Did Mr. Dunn say anything to you? Did he ask you to sleep with him?” asked Ruby.
When La heard the phrase “sleep with him,” a deep disgust appeared in her eyes.
Afterward, she continued to respond to Ruby with determination.
She then spoke firmly, “Mr. Dunn told me that the situation where our Taylor family was expelled from
Horizon Group today has nothing to do with me. I haven’t offended anyone.
It’s all because of you all, the members of the Taylor family, who provoked someone you shouldn’t
have. Mr. Dunn also told me to ry a message to all of you. You all better take care of your actions!”
La consistently referred to “you all, the Taylor family” in her speech.
now.
It seemed clear that La had be utterly disappointed with the Taylor family!
When Ruby and the others heard La’s words, they were initially taken aback, but then Ruby
immediately erupted in anger.
“You’re only a bastard. What are you talking about here now?” said Ruby,

She continued, “How dare you tell us to fend for ourselves?”
On the other hand, Caleb chimed in and responded coldly after listening to La and Ruby’s
conversation.
She said, “La, you didn’t go, did you?
The words you just said, did you make them up by yourself? You are not telling us the truth, are you?”

Meanwhile, Elliott Taylor stared with his eyes wide open and eximed sharply.
He said in a sarcastic tone, “You’re an audacious child! Great!
“How dare you use Mr. Dunn to insult us? I think you’re truly fed up with living!”
After satirizing and chastising La, he turned to Ruby.
He said, “Aunt, I think La won’t give up and refuses to be convinced until she faces the grim reality!”
Ruby’s eyes were practically shooting mes and zing with anger. She said angrily, “Good! Very
well!
“Is it because that miserable man, Gavin, has returned?
“It must be because of him. How dare you oppose us now and even tell us to fend for ourselves?
“Bring me some people here!”
Ruby’s words fell in an infuriating tone.
As Ruby gave her orders, within a minute, more than a dozen servants from the Taylor family rushed
forward, surrounding the bewildered La.
La couldn’t believe how the situation had escted to that point.
She continued to speak in a state of panic.
She stammered, “I’m just conveying what Mr. Dunn told me! I didn’t make it up! It was true. I am not
even lying.
“And also, Gavin isn’t a miserable person at all!”
Even at this stage, La couldn’t forget to defend Gavin.
However, Ruby didn’t believe her words at all. She dismissed her words. and coldly snorted.
She instructed the servants and said, “At a time like this, you’re still
speaking up for that miserable person?
“Strip her naked and give her a severe beating!”
“No! No!” yelled La.
La screamed in despair, clutching her chest with her hands, trying to protect herself.
Elliott wore a lecherous smile on his face and approached La.
He said, “Let me handle the undressing part.”
He let out an obsceneugh.
With a lewd grin, Elliott reached out his sinful hands to La.
However, at that moment…
A loud crash!
A loud bang and a humming and buzzing sound apanied the air
tremors.
Out of nowhere, a massive door panel soared toward the Taylor family’s hall without warning.
In the next moment…
With a solid thud, it struck and hit Elliott squarely in the chest.
“Ah!” A wretched scream rang out, and a wail followed as Elliott was sent flying.
He crashed heavily to the ground.
A mouthful of blood spurted out from his mouth and nose.
“Elliott!” A woman’s cry rang out. It was from Caleb’s wife, who had
rushed to her son.
However, Caleb, Jackson, and Ruby all stood up instantly and shouted in unison toward the outside of
the hall.
“Who?” they asked together.
A resounding, cold, and ruthless voice echoed faintly.
“The Clifford family from Brookspring, Gavin Clifford!”
“Gavin?”
“Gavin!” responded La happily.
La turned back in joy as if she had heard the most beautiful melody in the world, and the tears in her
eyes flew out due to her swift movement.

They saw Gavin’s tall and imposing figure as he walked steadily toward them, one step at a time.
In the courtyard, the Taylor family’s servants held sticks and red at Gavin, but no one dared to
approach or attack him.
The reason was simple. Behind Gavin was the massive gate that typically required two people to open.
He had kicked it open with a single blow, and it had crashed into the Taylor family’s hall, demonstrating
extraordinary strength.
He was disying extraordinary strength that was beyond an ordinary person’s capabilities.
“Ah, it’s you, the scum of a destroyed family!” said Ruby.
Her voice sounded sharp.
“How dare you toe to us, the Taylor family?
“And you even dared to injure my nephew? You’re truly seeking death!
“Everyone from the Taylor family, listen up! Attack and cripple his limbs, then throw him onto the streets
as a beggar!” said Ruby as she instructed. the servants.
“Yes! Alright!” The dozen Taylor family servants inside the living room and dozens of servants in the
courtyard heard themand and responded.
All of the servants exchanged nces and shouted in unison.
“Be careful, Gavin!” La cried out in rm.
Dozens of servants in the courtyard revealed ferocious expressions and charged toward Gavin.
“Heh, Gavin, is it?” Elliott’s mocking voice came.
“He’ll be disabled soon,” continued Elliott.
However, Elliott’s words were barely out of his mouth when his voice
seemed choked by something, stopping abruptly.
Elliott and the remaining members of the Taylor family had their eyes dramatically widened and their
pupils dted.
Their ears were constantly filled with “thuds” and “pops.”
These sounds were noting from Gavin.
However, the sounds wereing from the Taylor family’s servants, who were being knocked
backward one after another.

Gavin continued to advance step by step, and not a single servant among the dozens could impede his
progress.
Anyone approaching Gavin would be sent flying and spitting blood in the next second!
When Gavin stepped into the hall, he arrived before La.
Behind Gavin, the Taylor family’s servantsy unconscious, strewn across the courtyard.
The scene was haunting and eerie.
“Gavin…” La gazed at Gavin with a mesmerized look on her face.
La’s despair and pallor had vanished as Gavin was here. Her beloved was here!
In her pupils, there was nothing but stars and Gavin.
Gavin slowly raised his hand and gently wiped away the tears in the corner of La’s eyes.
Then, he held her hand, gazing into her eyes, and softly said, “La,e with me. Leave the Taylor
family.”
Tears streamed down La’s face as she listened to Gavin’s gentle voice. She nodded repeatedly and
vigorously and said, “Gavin, I’ll go with you. I won’te back, never again.”
But their tender moment was interrupted as Ruby’s sharp voice rang out. “Where are you going if you
don’t return?” said Ruby.
She walked forward angrily for a couple of steps, pointing at La.
She shouted, “La, you, an illegitimate child! I’m warning you. You better let go of that bastard’s hand
and return to me.
“Otherwise, I’ll lock you in a dog cage!”
Gavin raised his hand before Ruby could finish her threat, delivering a resounding p to Ruby’s face.
She fell to the ground with a swollen cheek after Gavin struck his palm hard.
Gavin looked down at her as he looked at Ruby as if she were trash.
“What’s this? The Taylor family has no one left? Letting an outsider like you act so arrogantly?” Gavin
spoke with disdain and slowly looked down. at Ruby Taylor.
