chapter733

What the hell was happening?

"Still not telling the truth? Fine then, Aiden..."

"Yes!"

"Invite them in for a cup of tea."

Connor sounded so relaxed, like this was nothing. But for Leopard and his crew, it was basically a death sentence.

"No, sir, please! I'll talk, I'll talk!"

In the Capital's elite social circles, nobody dared cross Connor. Tonight, they'd messed with the wrong person. If Connor actually took them away, they'd be lucky to know how they died.

Aiden shot Leopard a glare. "For real? Are you gonna talk or not? Stop dragging it out!"

Leopard flinched and blurted out, "It was the Gibson family! They wanted us to, um, invite Miss Norwood back for tea. That's why we came for her, I swear, we never meant any harm!"

Aiden heard this and immediately kicked Leopard so hard he went sprawling.

"Invite? You block our car, smash the windows, threaten us, and call that an invitation?"

Leopard scrambled back to his knees, his voice shaking, almost on the verge of tears. Connor, please, we just wanted to scare Miss Norwood. Honestly, we never meant to hurt her."

This was all the Gibson family's plan. They wanted Lydia to be terrified first, then they'd take her away and "talk" to her.

Connor's voice was cold. "You'd better spill their whole plan right now. I don't have a lot of patience."

If it was anyone else, Leopard could've pretended he knew nothing and never ratted out the Gibsons. But this was Connor. Everyone knew what he was capable of. If they wanted to survive, they had to tell the truth.

"It was Miss Gibson," Leopard stammered. She wanted Miss Norwood to take the fall for her cheating. If Miss Norwood agreed, they'd give her a ton of money. If she didn't..."

His tongue twisted. He couldn't finish.

Lydia's smile was icy. "And if I refuse?"

Leopard's eyes darted around. He couldn't bring himself to say it. Mandy and Rosie had told them, if Lydia refused, they were supposed to find someone to assault her take photos, destroy her completely.

"Then... then..."

Lydia's gaze went even colder. She didn't have to hear the rest. She already knew what kind of disgusting plan they had in mind.

Connor clearly understood too. He stomped down hard on Leopard's hand. The sound of bones cracking echoed in the tense silence. Sweat poured down Leopard's face but he didn't dare make a single sound.

Connor let out a cold snort and kicked him aside. His voice was as chilly as ice. "If you listen to me, maybe lit let you live. If not, even Jackson comes begging, I'll make sure you disappear, forever."

"Yes, Sir!"

Leopard knew when to give in. He had no fight left. He could only blame the Gibson family. This time, they'd gotten him and his guys into a big disaster.

Meanwhile, at the Gibson house, every light was on.

Rosie paced nervously. "Mom, still nothing?"

Mandy checked the time and shook her head. "Just wait a little longer. Don't worry."

But she couldn't help feeling uneasy. By now, Leopard should have reported back. Did something go wrong? But Lydia was just a broke college girl. They'd sent over ten guys. How hard could it be?

Just as Mandy was getting more anxious, a loud crash rang out from the front door.

Right after, the butler's furious voice boomed through the hall. "Who are you? How dare you force your way into the Gibson house!"
