Legend of Dragon Son-in-law-Chapter 658 - Elwood Thorneycroft is the Traitor_1

Chapter 658 -658 Elwood Thorneycroft is the Traitor_1

“How could this happen?”

“There’s actually a traitor among us!”

“Who is it? Come forward! Don’t force us to take action!”

Those who could be present at the Five-lakes Clubhouse today were all close confidants of Fabian Percival.

Each of them was a big shot in their own right, with plentiful resources and manpower at their disposal.

This incident had suddenly caused widespread panic.

...

Ivan Reed had already been eyeing Gonzalez City hungrily, and if the Lopez Family joined in, how could they stand against Aron Jackson?

They would be attacked from both front and back.

There was no chance of victory.

The emergence of an insider had dealt yet another blow to their already low morale.

Many had started to consider whether they should proactively apologize to Aron Jackson to seek his forgiveness.

“If I find out who the traitor is, they will be silently eliminated immediately!” Fabian Percival’s face was as dark as water.

This revelation of a mole was undoubtedly an attack on his reputation!

Moreover, the leaked photo would not only push Jennifer Lopez into the abyss but also place Fabian Percival himself in a perilous situation.

“Mr. Thorneycroft.”

Fox Miller walked up to Fabian Percival, gently took the phone, and after inspecting it, said, “The date the photo was taken doesn’t seem too far back.”

“Of course it isn’t far back!”

Fabian Percival’s face was grim as he paced back and forth in the room: “The date is within these last few days! Everyone who came in and out of the reception room these past two days, inspect them all!”

Not many insiders knew about his secret meeting with Jennifer Lopez.

It must have been one of his close confidants playing dirty behind the scenes.

“I have an idea!”

Fox Miller, looking at the photo and pondering, said, “Mr. Thorneycroft, the position from where this photo was taken… it should be right…”

He walked over to the chair next to Jennifer Lopez based on his memory and pointed with his hand: “Here!”

“Correct!”

Jennifer Lopez highly agreed with Fox Miller’s deduction.

At that time, she was sitting right where she was now.

The person who took the photo must have been right beside her.

“Who was sitting there at the time? Stand up!”

“Damned traitor! Today I’ll tear you apart! How dare you betray Mr. Thorneycroft!”

“Who is this person? If you are a man, come out!”

While Jennifer Lopez was confirming, everyone failed to notice the change on Fabian Percival’s face.

It had become even more glum.

Speculation swirled around the room, with glances exchanged that were filled with suspicion and anger.

“Mr. Thorneycroft! Please identify this person!”

“We will help you clean house!”

“Even if they flee to the ends of the earth, we can bring them back!”

Seeing that Fabian Percival remained silent, many thought that the traitor had already run away.

But even if they fled, they couldn’t leave Gonzalez City that quickly.

“No need to guess anymore!”

Facinng the many gazes, Fabian Percival finally broke his silence. “The one who sat in this spot that day was Elwood Thorneycroft.”

“What!”

“Mr. Thorneycroft, are you sure you remember it correctly?”

“How could it be Miss Thorneycroft!”

When it was revealed that the person sitting next to Jennifer Lopez was Elwood Thorneycroft, everyone chose to be silent.

Elwood Thorneycroft was Fabian Percival’s daughter.

Were they supposed to go after their boss’s daughter?

That would indeed be courting death.

Although no one spoke up, deep down, everyone was feeling discontent.

Especially since Elwood Thorneycroft had been taken away by Ivan Reed, there were already suggestions of sacrificing a piece to save the game, to eliminate Elwood!

Otherwise, if they really waited until Elwood involved Fabian Percival, they would all be out of luck.

If Aron Jackson took advantage of the chaos at that time, they could all lose everything.

They had been keeping their heads down in Gonzalez City for so many years. Although stirred up by Fabian Percival’s return, no one was willing to give up what they had.

These people were long no longer the young hoodlums who once licked blood off the edges of their knives.

Who would willingly give up the days of keeping concubines and spending gold like dirt?

“Even if it’s my daughter, she will be killed without mistake!”

After a moment of silence, Fabian Percival made an excruciating decision.

He wanted to gain the support of the bosses in the room, so he had to painfully let go!

Yet, he still couldn’t believe that Elwood Thorneycroft would betray him.

But the evidence was irrefutable, and if he insisted on continuing the investigation, it was likely that people in the room would start to hold grudges.

At such a time, sacrificing Elwood Thorneycroft was worth it!

“Mr. Thorneycroft, after all, Elwood is your daughter. I think it’s better to investigate. If someone is deliberately framing her, wouldn’t that be a wrongful accusation?”

A sturdy man stood out from the crowd.

“I agree!”

“Miss Thorneycroft has made many contributions to you and the brothers! Even if she were an ordinary person, it wouldn’t be right to be so hasty!”

“Mr. Thorneycroft, think it over!”

The entire hall was filled with people pleading.

Their thoughts were simple.

If they didn’t step up to plead now, what kind of unexpected disaster would befall them when Fabian Percival settled accounts after the fact?

Better to show their loyalty now.

“No need! Elwood Thorneycroft’s betrayal of the organization is clear as day! The second son of the Martin Family!” Fabian Percival knew very well what everyone meant. He could only suppress his inner rage and ordered the execution of Elwood Thorneycroft!

“Mr. Thorneycroft! The second son of the Martin Family awaits your assignment!”

Following the order, a man in a black trench coat emerged from the crowd.

His name was the second son of the Martin Family, an employee and bodyguard of Fabian Percival.

In Gonzalez City, he held a power base of his own.

Half a month ago, the second son of the Martin Family had been one of Aron Jackson’s eight top minions.

Now, having defected, he had nearly taken all the employees with him.

“Take care of Elwood Thorneycroft. That’s your job,” said Fabian Percival as he pointed at the second son of the Martin Family, and after a moment of silence, a pained expression crossed his face, “Make it quick! After all… after all, Elwood Thorneycroft is my daughter…”

“Mr. Thorneycroft! Please, reconsider!”

The second son of the Martin Family’s face darkened!

Wasn’t this just like sitting comfortably in a chair while trouble falls from the sky?

What to do about the future repercussions if he killed Elwood Thorneycroft?

But if he refused to do it today, he would offend everyone present!

If he went through with it!

He’d definitely get his hands dirty!

With so many people in the room, why did this damned task fall to him?

Click!

“No more words! Anyone who dares to let Elwood Thorneycroft go is an enemy of mine, Fabian Percival!”

Fabian Percival turned around and violently pushed the teapot from the table onto the floor!

The teapot, worth thousands, shattered into pieces.

“Rest assured, Mr. Thorneycroft!” Seeing Fabian Percival assert his authority, the second son of Martin Family could only agree, “I will definitely complete the task to your satisfaction!”

If he hesitated any longer, he might provoke the crowd’s anger.

“Go and get it done!” Fabian Percival walked over to a slender young man, “Tucker Ridge, you go with the second son of Martin Family to do it! It must be done cleanly and efficiently!”

This was a killing ordered by Ivan Reed!

If it wasn’t clean, it would bring disaster!

“Me?”

Tucker Ridge stood up, pointing at himself, his face filled with disbelief.

How did such an unpleasant task fall on him?

“Quickly go and return!”

Fabian Percival waved his hand impatiently, “We’ll be waiting here for your news! You must be quick and decisive!”

“Yes!”

The two exchanged glances, resignedly turned around, and carried out the cleansing operation that would inevitably be mentioned in the future.

“Brown Bread, provide them with the intel.”

Fabian Percival said with a somber face.

“Understood, Mr. Thorneycroft.” Consternation flashed across Brown Bread’s face, but he still quickly caught up with the two men ahead of him.
