Chapter 469

Author: Only For You
The rooftop of Rhodes Corporation was over 50 stories high. Marcus stood at the edge, his expression shifting between confusion, anger, and frustration as his fists clenched tightly.

He shouted, "Why? Why do all of you have to push me like this? What did I ever do to deserve this? I've given my life to this company—was that not enough?"

His voice carried a mix of rage and despair, echoing in the wind. In his emotional outburst, Marcus lost his footing for a moment and nearly fell, causing gasps of horror to ripple through the gathering crowd below.

Employees had rushed to the rooftop, forming a growing crowd, their fear and panic evident in their faces.

"Mr. Chapman, please step back! Whatever's wrong, we can talk this through!" one of them pleaded.

"Marcus, what are you doing? We've worked side by side for this company for years. Whatever it is, we'll face it together!" shouted another.

"Where's Mr. Rhodes? Why isn't he here yet? If Mr. Chapman jumps, the consequences will

    Calvin suppressed his anger, "Tiana, are you also going to fuel Andrew's arrogance? Look at how he's bullied the surrounding elite families and young people ever since coming to Blumedale!" Tiana's face turned red as she cursed, "Go to hell! Who are you to call me by first name? This is a public setting, so watch your damn mouth." Calvin forced an awkward smile. He seemed particularly accommodating toward this middle-aged beauty, Tiana. She said, "Let's not complicate things. This all started because your precious daughter kidnapped Lauren. And she didn't act alone, bringing that wicked witch Caroline along and beating Lauren! So, how am I supposed to pretend like that never happened?" Tiana's fury was written all over her face. She was not asking for answers. She was demanding justice. Calvin had no response. Miles stepped forward, his voice heavy. "Liliana, did you really lay a hand on Ms. Rhodes?" Liliana burst into loud sobs. "Miles, that bitch deserved to suffer! I

    Liliana's face lit up with wild joy as she shouted, "Dad, Miles, you finally came! Please, save me and Aunt Caroline! This is all Andrew's doing, along with the Rhodes family people… Kill them all, wipe them out!" Her voice dripped with hatred and venom. Andrew responded by stomping his foot down on her face without the slightest hesitation. He said coldly, "I already told you that no one's coming to save you. You can scream until your throat's raw, but it won't make a damn difference." Miles stepped forward and shouted, "Mr. Lloyd, please! Have some mercy!" Andrew's eyes darkened. "And if I don't?" Miles clenched his jaw. "Mr. Lloyd, I don't know what Liliana did to offend you, but don't you think this is going too far? You're a man of power. Shouldn't you show a little grace? A little restraint? After all, leaving room for peace is better than burning every bridge. Surely you know that!" Andrew let out a cold laugh. "I've already shown plenty of restraint with your idio

    "Tiana, you bitch! What the hell are you doing?! I'm warning you! The Rhodes family can't afford to go up against the Peck family!" Caroline shrieked. Before she could finish, Tiana grabbed her arm and flung her with all her strength. A piercing scream ripped through the room as Caroline's arm was completely dislocated with a sickening crack. Still not satisfied, Tiana pounced on her and started punching her in the face without mercy. Within seconds, Caroline's face was mangled, covered in blood, and had deep scratches. "You psycho! What did you do? You ruined my face! I'll kill you! I swear I'll kill you!" Caroline howled. She flew into a frenzy, but it was useless. Tiana was not a pushover to begin with. Suddenly, she gripped Caroline's spine with both hands and shattered her back with a snap. In other words, her martial arts foundation was completely destroyed. Upstairs, Liliana turned ghost-pale. She started shaking uncontrollably, horrified by how far things had gone

    Liliana panicked, her voice sharp and frantic. "Somebody! Somebody get in here! Kick these bastards out right now!" This was the Peck family's turf, and Caroline was known for housing some seriously ruthless muscle. Yet, despite all her screaming, no one showed up. Andrew's eyes glinted with icy contempt as he stared her down. "Stop yelling. Every one of your precious Peck family guards is either dead or knocked out." Liliana's face drained of color. "No… That's impossible. There's no way you could've gotten in here!" Aspen and Francesca, burning with fury, stormed forward and started beating her without hesitation. Seeing their best friend lying bloodied and broken on the ground, the two women lost all sense of restraint. Andrew, barely holding back the urge to slaughter the entire Peck household, ran over and scooped Lauren into his arms. He checked her injuries and quickly slipped a healing capsule between her lips. However, his heart sank when he noticed that her lo

    Liliana rushed over and viciously kicked Lauren several more times as she lay on the ground. Her aunt, Caroline Peck, frowned and shouted, "Liliana, that's enough! If you keep kicking her, she might die!" Liliana's eyes were bloodshot as she roared, "Let her die then! I want this bitch dead!" Caroline grabbed her with a malicious expression, "Don't kill her yet, at least not here at my place. It'll be hard to clean up afterward!" Liliana turned around and began crying loudly. "Aunt Caroline! Miles and Dad don't love me anymore! Only you are willing to stand up for me! This bitch stole my man, and I hate her to death!" Caroline snorted coldly. "Miles and Calvin are really heartless. It's just some little punk who recently made it big in Blumedale. The Peck family is one of the Five Apex Families, and we've been on top for generations. When have we ever been afraid of anyone?" Liliana wiped her tears. "That's what I think, too, but Miles and Dad are both pretty lenient towar

    By now, Lauren had already been dragged in front of Liliana. "Didn't expect this, did you, bitch?" Liliana sneered. The moment they locked eyes, she was practically glowing with smug satisfaction. Lauren stared at her, surprised. "Ms. Peck, I honestly don't get it. Why are you doing this?" Liliana crossed her arms and glared at Lauren condescendingly. "Why? Obviously, I did it for Joe! I really can't understand what Joe saw in someone as trashy as you!" Lauren's expression darkened. "Liliana, watch your mouth. As far as I know, there's never been any bad blood between us. If this is about Joe, you should take it up with him. Abducting me like this? It's pathetic." Liliana's face twisted in rage, and she slapped Lauren hard. "You bitch! How dare you mock me! Now that you're in my hands, who gave you the confidence to keep mouthing off like that?" The slap left a fiery red mark across Lauren's cheek, but she did not lash out. Instead, she let out a cold, mocking laugh. "T
