When fate plays its hand

“Not bad.” Sam nodded with satisfaction.

“That’s good to hear,” Gerald said.

After all the commotion, it turned out the burly men were sent by Gerald. Kenny and Shawn exchanged a glance. Their faces visibly turned pale.

Just as the brothers were about to sneak away, Gerald’s men had already anticipated their

actions. They immediately restrained them and brought them in front of Sam.

Gerald asked, “Mr. Cooper, how would you like to handle this?”

Sam chuckled lightly. “Since they’re your people, it’s up to you to decide.”

Casting a brief glance at the two, Gerald spoke in a deep tone, “Then, let’s cripple one hand from each of them.”

“No, Mr. Quigley! Please!”

“Mr. Quigley, have mercy!”

The two of them dropped to their knees and pleaded, “We didn’t know that he was your honored guest. We’re sorry for our mistake! We were blind not to recognize him! Please, forgive us and let us off this once! We’re begging you!”

However, Gerald ignored their pleas. He raised his hand and signaled for his men to take

action.

At that moment, Paul suddenly said, “Matters of discipline should be handled in private. We shouldn’t dish out violence at the entrance of a respectable family’s home.” NôvelDrama.Org holds text © rights.

Only then did everyone remember they were still in front of the Clifford residence and in broad daylight.

Gerald nodded, and someone immediately dragged the Sneider brothers away, preparing to deal with them elsewhere.

Kenny and Shawn were just about to sigh with relief when they realized this would likely be their end. Kenny’s eyes darted around before he suddenly shouted, “Stop! I’m… I’m going to call the police!”

Yes, the police!

“These people attacked us! The injuries on us are the best evidence! Shawn, call the police now!”

Raising an eyebrow, Gerald finally sized Kenny up properly. He turned to Nefario with a smirk and said, “This underling of yours has some brains.”

But he wasn’t smart enough.

Nefario looked visibly awkward.

Meanwhile, Shawn was already on the phone with the police. “Yes, the location is in front of the Clifford residence in Swampert Village.”

Gerald turned to Sam with a smile. “Mr. Cooper, things are as you can see. It’s not that I didn’t manage my underlings well, but they wanted to air their grievances by calling the authorities. This is out of my hands now.‘

With a wave of his hand, his group piled into the pickup trucks. The intimidating crowd that had stormed in now left in an orderly line.

They were gone just like that.

Kenny’s eyes lit up. Was Gerald washing his hands of the matter? The brothers exhaled in relief. At least their hands were safe now.

Madison couldn’t understand what had just happened.

Sebastian explained patiently, “The two brothers would be finished if Mr. Quigley had taken them away, so they called the police to seek official protection from the authorities. Didn’t you see how Mr. Quigley’s men left as soon as they heard the police were coming?”

“But we have video evidence, witnesses, and everything else. How dare they call the police?

Weren’t they setting up a trap for themselves?

Sebastian said with a sneer, “They must have something up their sleeve. Just wait and see.”

At that moment, Paul suddenly lifted his wrist to check his watch. Out of nowhere, he remarked, “Right on time. It’s perfect.”

Everyone was puzzled.

Soon, the police arrived. Kenny pulled out a cigarette and a lighter. He was about to step forward with a smile when he realized that the policemen weren’t the familiar officers from the local police station. They were strangers.

The one in the lead asked, “Are you Kenny and Shawn Sneider? We’re from the criminal investigation unit of the city police department We received a report last night that you’re involved in organized crime. Please come with us and cooperate with the investigation!”

This plot twist came out of nowhere and took everyone by surprise. Not only were the Sneider brothers dumbfounded, but Miranda, Madison, and Sebastian were stunned.

Madison turned to Sebastian and whispered, “Did you call in for backup from your family?”

But he wasn’t smart enough.

Nefario looked visibly awkward.

Meanwhile, Shawn was already on the phone with the police. “Yes, the location is in front of the Clifford residence in Swampert Village.”

Gerald turned to Sam with a smile. “Mr. Cooper, things are as you can see. It’s not that I didn’t manage my underlings well, but they wanted to air their grievances by calling the authorities. This is out of my hands now.”

Otherwise, how did the officers from the city police department get here this fast?

Sebastian shook his head. “I didn’t.”

“Huh… Then who did?” Madison suddenly had an idea and turned to look at Paul.
