Brandon’s lips curled into a cold smile, but it did not reach his eyes. Gordon was such a villain.
“For me, Savanna is priceless. The Thompson Group is nothing compared with her.”
Gordon was about to say something when his phone rang. He picked up the phone. He heard
something from the other end of the line, and the smile on his face froze. In a flash, he quickly calmed
down. “They are dead already, and we can’t do anything about it. No need to make a fuss.”
He then hung up.
Gordon looked at Brandon. “My assistant said that Steve and the others took poison. They are dead.
Mr. Cassel, I’m sorry. The deal is off.”
Gordon pretended to be sorry.
Brandon clenched his fists. He tried his best not to rush toward Gordon and tear Gordon into pieces.
Someone knocked on the door. Gordon said, “Come in.” Then the door was pushed open, and Leo
rushed in.
Leo didn’t expect to see Brandon in Gordon’s office.
Brandon met Leo’s burning eyes and knew that Leo was also furious. Brandon figured that Leo was
here for the same thing.
Leo didn’t have time to talk to Brandon. He walked up to Gordon and lowered his voice, “Gordon,
Steve, Titus, and the others killed themselves. I heard that you have some medicine that they have just
developed. Can you give me some? My sister needs it.”
Gordon glanced at Brandon, who was quietly listening to their conversation.
Gordon said, “Why would your sister need this kind of medicine? Leo, you want it for Savanna, right? I
have told you many times already. Savanna and you aren’t a match. She will suck you dry. She will
make you doomed…”
Leo did not say anything. He took out a Swiss Army knife and stabbed it into his thigh. Blood gushed
out, flowed down his thigh, and dripped onto the floor.
Gordon’s face was pale. He stood up from his chair, and his tone even changed. He said, “Leo, you…
What’s this supposed to mean?”
Leo gritted his teeth and endured the pain coming from his thigh. “Gordon, you saved my life before.
This is what I owe you.”
Leo pulled out the knife from his thigh, and he stabbed himself with the bloody knife again and again.
The sound of the knife stabbing into the flesh was crisp and clear, and the scene was shocking
Brandon looked at the blood on the ground. He narrowed his eyes, and his Adam’s apple rolled. He
quickly sent a message.
Leo’s self-mutilation made Gordon furious. Gordon gritted his teeth and roared, “Leo, do you think I’ll
give you the medicine just because you do this? That’s impossible.”
Gordon was pissed off. He scolded Leo, “Do you think you can return my favor just like that? I risked
my life to dig you out from the dead on the battlefield. How can you repay this favor with a few cuts?”
Bright-red blood dripped down Leo’s thigh. Leo’s body shook due to the pain. He gritted his teeth and
held on. “If this is not enough, I can pay you back with my life. But you must hand over the medicine.
Otherwise…”.
As Leo spoke, he once again pulled out the knife from his thigh and pointed it at Gordon’s throat.
Gordon was shocked and quickly retreated. Leo closed in step by step. Gordon felt something cold
against his back. He knew he had no way to retreat.
Gordon was good at fighting. Also, Leo was injured. Therefore, Gordon snatched the knife away from
Leo easily.
Leo came at Gordon to grab the knife, and Gordon clutched Leo’s throat.
Brandon took photos with his phone.
Leo’s body was pressed against the wall by Gordon. At such a critical moment, hurried footsteps came
from outside the door. Then a group of policemen appeared. Seeing the scene inside, they raised their
guns one after another. “Don’t move.”
The knife in Gordon’s hand fell to the ground. When he was handcuffed, he finally realized. He
suspected that he had fallen into a trap set by Leo.
Gordon raised his head and met Leo’s gaze. It was cold and intimidating.
Leo looked innocent and heartbroken.
Gordon was taken away.
When the ambulance arrived, the medical staff were about to carry Leo onto the stretcher. Leo grabbed
Brandon’s sleeve. “Find a way to make Gordon’s assistant talk. The medicine that can cure Savanna is
in his hands.”
With that, Leo fainted.
Leo was sent to the hospital by medical staff.
Brandon asked Seth to find Gordon’s assistant immediately after hearing Leo’s words. But Seth did
not find any trace of Gordon’s assistant.
Brandon immediately found a well-known lawyer who had originally worked for the Cassel Group. Then
he cooperated with the police to find out the real cause of Steve, Titus, and the others’ deaths. All the
evidence pointed to Gordon. When Gordon found out that Savanna had been poisoned by Tracy, he
sent people to search for the whereabouts of Steve and the others. After finding them, he learned that
they had long been disloyal to Lorena because they thought that they had been treated poorly.
Gordon took the chance. He tempted them with generous offers and poached them from Lorena
eventually
Gordon hated Brandon because Brandon put him in jail and ruined his reputation. He held a grudge
and wanted to see Brandon doomed. So, he took it out on Savanna.
Since Steve and the others had superb medical skills, Gordon could use them as his leverage to deal
with Brandon. Also, he wanted to make profits from them.
Since the cause of Steve and the others’ death remained unclear, Gordon, who had been close to
them, became a major suspect.
In addition, when he was quarreling with Leo, only Brandon was present. Brandon testified in court,
saying that he saw Gordon stabbing Leo with the knife. When the police arrived, the knife was indeed
in Gordon’s hand. And the wound on Leo’s thigh was indeed caused by the knife in Gordon’s hand.
Also, Brandon took pictures of Gordon pushing Leo against the wall at that time. Gordon could not
clear himself from the guilt.
Brandon went to the prison to visit Gordon.
In just a few days, Gordon’s hair turned gray.
Brandon glanced at the guards standing at the door. He leaned over and whispered into Gordon’s ear,
“Mr. Stone, if you don’t hand over the medicine, you will die.”
Gordon’s gaze was sharp. “I don’t have the antidote.
“If I did, I would give it to Leo. I would rather let Leo take the eredit. I would never give it to you.”
Brandon lowered his eyes and bit his lip. He smiled, “Alright.”
Brandon looked down and brushed off the dust on his sleeves. His voice was light and calm. He said, “I
wonder if your eighty-year-old mother will be able to endure the pain.”
Brandon left.
Gordon scratched the table with his nails. His nails peeled off, and his face went deadly pale.
Though Gordon was an asshole, he was good to his mother. Yet he didn’t have a strong reaction when
Brandon threatened him with her. Brandon thought that maybe Gordon was telling the truth. He didn’t
have the antidote.
Savanna only found out about Leo’s injury a few days later. She asked Brandon to accompany her to
the hospital to visit Leo. Brandon agreed. The two of them came to the hospital, and Brandon waited
outside. Savanna pushed open the door of Leo’s ward and entered alone.
