Chapter 20 The crowd gasped in shock as they realized these thugs did not seem to care about the Fields family at all .


    Baldy snarled , I hate showoffs like you the most Lets see how tough you really are .


    Boys , teach him a lesson ! With thatmand , the gang approached Shawn kicking and stomping him mercilessly .


    Stop it , you bastards ! Shawn screamed , his bravado evaporating instantly .


    I order stop right now , or Ill make you all disappear ! you to His threats quickly turned to pitiful pleas .


    Please , stop ! Im begging you ! Youre going to kill me ! Shawns face was a mess of bruises , his nose broken .


    The worst pain came from a vicious kick to his groin , leaving him wondering if he could ever father children .


    Christina stepped forward , her face ashen .


    You thugs ! What gives you the right to beat someone like this ? Just as she rushed to shield Shawn with her body , Baldy called for his men to stop .


    He sneered at Shawns battered form .


    Your pathetic Fields family is nothing but dirt to Mr.


    Garner .


    Got it ? Since you im to have a stake in the orphanage property , youreing with us to see the boss .


    Grab him and the girl ! Shawn , trembling , asked , Wait … When you say Mr.


    Garner , are you talking about Mr.


    Dn Garner , the South City crime lord ? Baldy grunted in affirmation .


    Its toote to realize who youre messing with ! Take him .


    away , and Christina too ! Irene and the barely conscious Leroy watched in terror , too scared to interfere .


    These guys were ruthless and clearly did not even respect the Fields family , Hence , they had already lost their nerve .


    Suddenly , Shawns demeanor changed .


    Wait ! I have something to say , he pleaded .


    That orphanage property has nothing to do with me .


    Just leave me out of this , okay ? As soon as he said this , Christina , Irene , and Leroy looked at him in disbelief .


    However , Shawn could not care less about anything anymore .


    To hell with everything , he thought .


    If he could.


    not save himself , nothing else mattered .


    He grabbed Baldys leg , begging , Im being honest here .


    Thend is in Stevens Corporations hands .


    Neither the Fields family nor I had anything to do with it .


    Baldy chuckled , amused .


    Werent you just bragging about helping her acquire it ? You seemed pretty proud of yourself then .


    1/2  Chapter 20 Shawn forced augh .


    I was just talking big .


    I dont have that kind of pull .


    Mr.


    Garner must want the property , right ? Go after Stevens Corporation and Christina .


    They have it .


    The Fields family and I arepletely uninvolved .


    Irene gasped .


    Shawn , what are you saying ? Didnt you help Christie get that property ? Shut up , you old hag ! Dont pin this on me ! Shawn snapped back before turning to Christina .


    Ille clean now , Christie .


    The Fields family had nothing to do with getting that property .


    It wasnt me .


    Christinas face paled as the realization hit her .


    So … Andrew was right all along ? Ive wronged him … She frantically looked around , searching the room for Andrew .
