While Queenie and Yoana were pondering about the situation…
Inside Victoria Harbor’s flower shop…
Squelch!
Lexie was slowly removing the bullet lodged in Vince’s back.
She then carefully stitched his wounds before putting her homebrewed All-Cure Medicine on him.
Cold sweat dripped down Vince’s head, but the rage in his heart stopped him from even grunting. His eyes were set in a wrathful glare.
«That b*stard!”
“How dare he?!”
“He turned Jason against you?!”
“Is it out of his mind?!”
Cory slammed a laptop to the ground, shoving it in front of Vince.
Footage of Vince being pursued was shown on the screen.
“Is Jason insane?!”
“Doesn’t he understand who his allies are?!”
“I can’t believe he’s turning against you just because of Harvey!”
“Does he think we won’t kill him because he has The Empire’s support?!” Cory’s expression was constantly changing as he yelled in anger.
He was worried about Vince’s injuries, but at the same time, the current situation was making him anxious. Jason was defeated by Harvey.
Following the deal, Jason’s engagement with Queenie would surely be canceled.
Vince was then injured by his dear sworn brother…
Not just Vince, the reputation of the entire York family was heavily tarnished because of it.
Not only did Vince fail to get what he wanted out of Jason’s strong comeback, but he also got himself hurt in the process! More importantly, Harvey and Queenie never laid a single finger on Vince in the first place!
Since they had Marcel’s help, Vince would never be able to take revenge against them in public.
Even Cory, who thought of himself as extremely intelligent, was shivering with anger.
Vince gritted his teeth lightly, not saying a single word. Pain and unbridled rage was making him lose his mind. Thus, he wasn’t in the mood to talk.
“Don’t be angry, Big Brother. Vince was partially responsible for what happened, but he didn’t know that Harvey b*stard would do something like this!” Lexie said upon seeing the seething Cory “That said, we haven’t lost just yet.” “Or rather, for other people, we seem to have lost.” “We can still use other people for our dirty work…”
Cory frowned.
“What do you mean?” he asked coldly.
Lexie chuckled lightly.
“That b*stard Harvey is trying to use The Empire to his advantage. Why don’t we do the same?”
“As long as that b*stard doesn’t kill Jason, we’ll never fail.”
Lexie’s gaze passed through the bustling streets of Victoria Harbor and landed on a lonely garden villa beside the sea.
“Half an hour ago, Lord York went to visit Grandma York since she was feeling unwell.”
“Lady Judd has a pretty bad relationship with Grandma York, so obviously she wouldn’t follow along. She’s inside the garden villa right now.”
“If the fourth princess knew that the one supporting her man’s captor is all alone…”
“Well, we won’t be able to control what happens next.”
Cory froze. Then, a small smile appeared on his face.
He suddenly understood what Lexie meant.
