A Bumpy Road to Power

Chapter 693:

Dirk sat in deep thought for a while.

He nodded.

"Things in the Koryn City Economic Development District didn't pan out, and the higher-ups are indeed very dissatisfied with Fabian Vincent. Moreover, recently, he and Dirk Carter are getting closer; this is a dangerous signal. It's time to abandon him," he said.

These words.

Made Irene beam with joy.

She said, "Then our cooperation with Herman Bates..."

Dirk nodded slightly.

"You take care of this matter," he said.

"Should I start with Eve Vincent and carry out the execution?"

Irene asked tentatively.

Dirk said nothing, his face gloomy as he got up to leave.

That was tantamount to consent.

Midnight.

In a pitch-black small room.

Eve Vincent was curled up in the corner of the room, dozing off.

Suddenly, there was a faint noise at the door.

She woke up with a start.

She saw the door open a tiny crack.

Moonlight spilled in from outside.

In the moonlight, a figure quietly slipped in, standing still, scanning the room.

Seeming to notice Eve Vincent's figure, the person gently closed the door, tiptoeing toward her.

At this moment, Eve Vincent.

Held a cup tightly in her hand.

Prepared to smash it on the intruder.

This was her only "weapon" for now.

Just as the figure was about to come closer.

Eve Vincent gritted her teeth, stood up, and lifted the cup.

In the blink of an eye, the figure suddenly reached out, grabbing Eve Vincent's arm, and whispered, "It's me!"

It was Turkey's voice.

Eve Vincent focused her gaze.

Indeed, the man before her was Turkey.

"What are you doing here?"

Eve Vincent asked indifferently, squatting down again.

Turkey grabbed her arm, saying, "There's no time, come with me, or you'll be dead. They plan to execute you."

"Come on, you think I'd believe you? Do you really believe such tricks would work on me? Turkey, I've told you many times before, we're not suitable, I don't like you."

Eve Vincent rolled her eyes at him and said.

Turkey said, "I know you don't like me, but this time I'm not lying, it's true, they really mean to execute family law on you."

"My dad is Fabian Vincent. You really think they'd dare to touch me?"

Eve Vincent asked disdainfully.

Turkey stamped his foot in anxiety.

Saying, "I'm not lying, Sister Irene has already given the order, they'll be here soon. If you don't come with me now, it will be too late. The Maplewood Gang has given up on your dad; they're working with Herman Bates."

"Are you serious?"

Turkey's words finally made Eve Vincent a bit shaken.

Eve Vincent stared at Turkey for a long time.

On his face, she saw sincerity.

After thinking it over, she said, "Alright, I'll go with you!"

Hearing this, Turkey's face lit up with joy.

As he was about to take Eve Vincent to the door.

Suddenly, there was the sound of a door opening outside.

Turkey shivered, opened the door slightly, and peered outside.

He saw that the gate to the courtyard had already been opened.

Sister Irene entered the courtyard with a few men.

Escape was impossible.

Turkey suddenly pulled a dagger from his waist.

Saying, "I'll fight them!"

Eve Vincent grabbed him.

Saying, "Just you? You're no match for them, you'll never know how you died."

After speaking.

He glanced around the room.

Pointed to a cabinet in front saying, "Hide in there. They're after me. As long as you stay inside and don't come out, they can't pin anything on you."

"Talia."

Turkey was naturally extremely reluctant.

Eve Vincent gritted her teeth.

Wrapped her arms around Turkey's head, kissing his forehead.

Saying, "I know you like me very much, but I really don't deserve it. I'm not a good person to begin with, it's time to face punishment, you don't need to be implicated by me."

After speaking.

She quietly opened the cabinet door.

Pushed Turkey inside.

Before closing it.

Saying, "No matter what happens, you must hold your ground and not come out, otherwise you'll be ruined too. Remember, after this is over, leave the Maplewood Gang and never come back. Neither our parents nor these people in the gang see us as human. We're just their toys; whenever they feel like discarding us, they will. Remember my words."

"Okay!"

Turkey nodded.

But tears still couldn't help but fall.

"You..."

Turkey's words were on the tip of his tongue.

But he swallowed them back.

Eve Vincent smiled slightly.

Saying, "I'm fine, it's just the execution. They wouldn't dare take my life. Remember, hide well inside, no matter what happens, don't move."

With a click.

Eve Vincent closed the cabinet door.

The people outside had already gathered.

And were walking towards her room.

Eve Vincent had just returned to sit in the corner when, with a creak, the door was pushed open.

Then, the light was turned on in the room.

The sudden brightness made it hard for Eve Vincent to open her eyes.

Before she could react.

She felt herself being lifted by two people, one on each side.

When her eyes finally adjusted.

Irene was already sitting in the chair in the center.

Around her stood four male members of the Maplewood Gang in different outfits, plus the two holding her, making six in total.

"Talia, as a member of the Maplewood Gang, you refused to carry out the gang's decision, and let the tiger return to the mountain. Now, it's decided to execute family law on you, as a warning to others."

Irene said lightly, watching Eve Vincent.

"What are you going to do to me?"

Eve Vincent asked calmly, not showing any panic.

"Execution."

Irene said.

Eve Vincent sneered, "Execution? You're really going to execute me? Irene, hasn't my contribution to the Maplewood Gang surpassed everyone's? Is this how you repay me?"

"Hehe, the Maplewood Gang has its rules, which you know well. If it weren't for your moment of compassion in the Dirk Carter incident, would we be in this situation now, tarnishing the gang's reputation? You're primarily responsible! Execution is already the lightest punishment; not ending your life is already lenient."

Irene said.

Eve Vincent nodded, took a deep breath, and said, "My father is Fabian Vincent. If you harm me, none of you will meet a good end."

"Hahahaha..."

Irene laughed heartily.

Saying, "Talia, Talia, don't forget, it was your father who sent you into the Maplewood Gang. The moment you stepped in, your body and soul no longer belonged to you. Without the gang's support all these years, could your father have connected with the Houseman Family? Could he have become mayor without the Maplewood Gang? You want him to save you? Does he dare? Is he willing to give up all he has now?"
