The Strongest Warrior’s Revenge by Valerie Bach

Chapter 19

Vincent Dunn’s sharp gaze suddenly turned toward the source of the commotion.

He saw Layla Taylor’s mother pointing her finger at Layla and scolding loudly. What was shocking was

that she wasn’t criticizing anyone else but Layla’s fiancé, Gavin Clifford, his master.

At this moment, Layla, who heard her mother scolding her beloved, had a panicked expression in her

eyes and protested in a loud voice, “No, it’s not true!

“Mom! Gavin is not a worthless person. He’s amazing and very capable!” Layla defended her fiancé.

“Shut up!”

But the one saying this was not Ruby Taylor, Layla’s mother. It was her father, Jackson Taylor.

Jackson furrowed his brows and stared at Layla.

He frowned and scolded his daughter, “Don’t you realize where we are? You’re making a scene and

showing no manners!”

“Yeah, that’s right, Caleb Taylor chimed in as his voice sounded sarcastic on the other side.

“All of this is because of a wastrel who has lost everything,” said Caleb.

“Gavin used to be the young heir of the Clifford family.” Caleb continued, “But now that the Clifford

family has fallen and lost their fortune, what’s his worth?”

On the other side, even Caleb’s wife chimed in.

She said, “Exactly, it’s better to marry someone from another family who is wealthy as well. At least you

can still benefit the Taylor family.”

“You… you guys… I won’t allow you to speak ill of Gavin like that!” said Layla.

Layla’s eyes were on the verge of tears. Seeing tears welling up in Layla’s eyes, Ruby immediately

yelled, “Hold your tears in!

The bidding is about to start. Don’t embarrass me here!”

They scorned Layla and even silenced her. They found that Layla was making them feel embarrassed.

They wouldn’t even let Layla speak up as they didn’t want her to raise her voice.

Not many people heard Layla’s words.

On the contrary, their berating and the voices of those reprimanding Layla were loud enough for almost

everyone in the

hall to hear.

Many people in the room felt that Layla’s situation was unjust. They began to feel sorry for Layla,

showing sympathy in their

eyes.

In response to this situation, Vincent reacted with a cold, disdainful huff, letting out a cold hum from his

mouth.

“Hmph! Let’s go,” said Vincent.

His secretary accompanied him, heading straight for the front of the stage where the bidding event was

about to occur.

The presence of Vincent and his secretary immediately drew the attention of everyone in the room.

Upon seeing Vincent’s arrival, the host of the bidding event took out a microphone.

He immediately announced, “Ladies and gentlemen, please take your seats. Today, our bidding event

worth 600 million dollars will begin!”

600 million dollars?

Goodness! Such a large sum of money, and it seemed that it’d been directly awarded to the Taylor

family.

Vincent had gone to great lengths for Gavin’s fiancée!

On the Taylor family’s side, they noticed Vincent’s presence.

“Faster, faster!” said Ruby as she urgently pulled Layla.

She continued, “Take your seats. It’s about to start. I can’t wait to sign the contract with Horizon Group

for the 600-million- dollar project.

Feeling excited, every member of the Taylor family had a sparkle in their eyes as they joined the crowd

and took their seats.

On the other hand, Caleb, whether intentionally boasting or for some other reason, leisurely

commented.

He said, “Ruby, don’t worry. Today, this 600-million-dollar project is already in our hands!”

Caleb’s words instantly drew envious glares from those around them.

Although some couldn’t help but feel helpless, there was still a tinge of bitterness in their expressions.

“As expected, it’s just like before. The Taylor family is favored again as they have been preselected!”

Even though they were helpless, they couldn’t help but feel this gnawing resentment.

When Ruby heard Caleb’s words and noticed the surrounding glares, she wasn’t ashamed but rather

proud.

She even straightened her posture and said, “That’s right! Indeed, this is the strength of our Taylorizon

Group. It’s all thanks to the power of our Taylorizon Group. Only Taylorizon Group can handle the

Horizon Group’s orders.”

“600 million dollars? Well, it’s just sort of!” she continued.

Implying that 600 million dollars was mediocre was akin to asking for more hatred from others.

They even had to provoke further resentment with their comments.

The bidders in the vicinity were grinding their teeth, wishing they could devour the Taylor family and

wanted nothing more than to devour their fortune.

However, they didn’t dare act out because the relationship between Horizon Group and the Taylor

family was too ambiguous.

In the face of these hostile gazes, the Taylor family members felt an unparalleled sense of glory,

making them even happier.

It was as if the more others suffered, the happier they became.

“Hello, everyone!”

At this moment, a powerful voice boomed from the venue’s sound system.

It was Vincent’s voice.

The entire venue immediately fell silent, with all the anxious and expectant eyes turning towards

Vincent, who stood in the center of the podium.

Among those most excited were the Taylor family members, especially Jackson, Caleb, Ruby, and

others. They all gazed at

Vincent as if he were their biological father, with delighted expressions, as though they were waiting for

him to give them at red envelope.

However, Vincent remained expressionless.

After surveying the room, he spoke with a low and steady voice, “Do you all know who I am? I’m

Vincent!”

Vincent stepped onto the stage and began with a self-introduction.

After his words fell, the hall erupted into thunderous applause, like a welcoming ceremony for the

wealthiest person.

The members of the Taylor family, in particular, applauded enthusiastically, looking at Vincent with

admiration.

However, Vincent did not bask in this reception and didn’t seem to enjoy the applause. Instead, he

raised his right hand.

The applause in the hall came to an abrupt halt, and all eyes focused on Vincent.

It was evident that Vincent’s status and words held immense power. It highlighted his authority.

Vincent’s voice echoed once more, “Before we begin this bidding ceremony, I need to do something.”

The entire audience was momentarily perplexed.

Everyone in the hall was slightly puzzled.

The bidding ceremony didn’t start immediately, and something else needed to be done.

A delay in starting the bidding event? What could be more important than the 600-million-dollar project

they were about to bid on?

Was there a new project coming up?

The people in the room eagerly awaited with curious anticipation and expectant eyes.

For the Taylor family members, they appeared even more excited..

In their eyes, it seemed like Vincent was about to announce that the Taylor family’s Taylorizon Group

had already won the bid.

However, the next moment, Vincent shouted astonishing words from deep within, and his words took a

surprising turn.

He said, “Security!

“Get the people from the Brookspring’s Taylor family and the Taylorizon Group out of here!

“The Taylor family is not fit to participate in my Horizon Group’s bidding as they are not worthy of

participating

Stunned, the entire hall fell into silence after Vincent’s words.

Three seconds later, it erupted into chaos.

The entire venue exploded with chatter and commotion.

“Oh my gosh! What did I hear? Did I hear that right?”

“The Taylor family that has always had a questionable relationship with Horizon Group is being kicked

out?”

“No. I thought the Taylor family had already secured the bid, and I was convinced, too. I never expected

Mr. Dunn to say this as his words suggest something else.”

“Wow! What did the Taylor family do to anger Mr. Dunn?”

“Hahaha! I knew it! With their arrogance, they would eventually face consequences. Others were bound

to catch up with them!”

The crowd was stirred up within a second.

People started discussing, expressing astonishment, disbelief, and even a sense of Schadenfreude.

“No! Why?!” Ruby couldn’t believe what she was hearing and shouted in disbelief, letting out an

incredulous scream.

She abruptly stood up from her chair.

Her face turned pale, and she looked in disbelief at Vincent on the stage.

She said as her voice was trembling, “Mr. Dunn, can you please tell us why?

“We agreed that the project was already guaranteed for the Taylor family. Weren’t we supposed to have

the bid already? Why is this happening?”

“Guaranteed? Already decided?” Upon hearing Ruby’s words, Vincent’s eyes flared with anger.

He shouted, “Even if it were guaranteed for others, I would never secure it for the Taylor family!

“Get some people and throw them out!”
