Wolves, Maces, And Blood

Chapter 9 Sean Mason’s Horrific Background

“Mr. Moore!”

The driver, who was waiting outside, saw Isaac fall into a puddle of mud. He was scared out of his wits

and rushed to Isaac’s aid.

“Fuck off!”

Ungrateful, Isaac threw the driver away and gritted his teeth, “Oh, Cecilia, screwing up Aiden Roberts,

ruining my day!”

“Just wait till I ruin your reputation!”

As the young master of the Moore family, when had he ever been so humiliated? What Aiden Roberts

just said made him blame all his anger on Cecilia.

He just called Cecilia ten minutes ago to brag. And ten minutes later, Aiden Roberts turned on him and

slammed the door in his face. If Cecilia wasn’t behind the scenes, how did it happen?

Besides, Cecilia was out of money, out of power and out of control. Why should Aiden Roberts fight the

Moore family for her?

According to Isaac, there was only one answer, Cecilia was having an affair with Aiden Roberts!

When he thought about it, everything seemed to be so clear.

In just two years, Cecilia, a woman, had become successful in the Moore Group, acting like a strong

woman in the field. Now it seemed she was not good at business, but she was good at picking up men.

“Let's go find Mr. Backer!”

Isaac looked back, gave the Roberts Group a nasty look, then got in his black BMW and drove off…

…

The Roberts Group, 18th floor, President’s office. Aiden Roberts stood at the huge floor-to-ceiling

window, looking down at the black BMW that had disappeared at the end of the street, took out his

mobile phone, dialed a number and said respectfully, “Mr. Campbell, I beat that kid up and he’s running

away.”

“Okay!”

A thick man’s voice came from the phone, “Remember, Cecilia Moore is a woman you can’t afford to

mess with, and from now on, whatever she asks for, you will do whatever it takes to give her what she

wants.”

“What?”

Aiden Roberts exclaimed, “Do whatever it takes… Mr. Campbell, what exactly is her background to

make you respect her?!”

Aiden Roberts, also in Hilshire, knew the ins and outs of Cecilia Moore.

Wasn’t she the unloved granddaughter of the Moore family? Five years ago, she gave birth out of

wedlock, and now she’s married to a rapist. She was being pointed and talked about like a mouse.

The reason he agreed to work with Cecilia and the Moore Group, to be honest, was in large part

because Aiden Roberts wanted to sleep with Cecilia because he coveted her beauty.

And now Mr. Campbell said she was a woman he couldn’t mess with?

How could this not surprise Aiden Roberts?

“I don’t just respect her. I’m in awe of her.”

Mr. Campbell said quietly, “You have no right to know her background. All you need is to understand

that if you cross her, a word from the people behind her can ruin you and your family…”

After a pause, he added, “So do I.”

Purr.

Hearing this, Aiden Roberts swallowed hard and his heart trembled violently. A word? Ruin me and my

family? Even Mr. Campbell?

In his eyes, Mr. Campbell himself was an unfathomable figure. He was where he was today because of

Mr. Campbell.

He could destroy Mr. Campbell with a single word…

Oh, my God, how scary was Cecilia’s patron?

“Mr. Campbell, well, I…”

As if thinking of something, Aiden Roberts reached out and wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, “I

got hooked this morning and agreed to sign with Isaac Moore. Besides, I touched her leg earlier in the

negotiation. What should I do?”

“Damn it!”

Mr. Campbell’s voice turned cold and murderous. Aiden Roberts could feel the chill through his cell

phone.

“Mr. Campbell, I was wrong!”

Aiden Roberts slumped to the floor-to-ceiling window and pleaded, “I didn’t know she had such a big

background. For all the years I’ve worked so hard for you, please, Mr. Campbell, come to my rescue

and show me a way to live…”

Bang!

The slap sounded. Aiden Roberts slapped himself hard in the face.

A moment later, Mr. Campbell snorted, “You brought this on yourself! Go to the Garden Community and

make amends! You touched Miss Moore’s leg... Which hand did you use? You don’t have to keep it!

With that, he hung up.

Aiden Roberts was like falling into an ice cave…

…

“Dad, things went well. Isaac called Mr. Roberts, Mr. Backer, and Mr. Brown, and they agreed to sign a

contract with Isaac, and now Isaac is there with the contract.”

Dylan and Isaac split up. Isaac went to sign the contract, and Dylan couldn’t wait to report to Carter

Moore, “If nothing goes wrong, we will have all Cecilia’s big clients by this afternoon. Whatever you

want to do with Cecilia will be up to you.”

“Okay, well done!”

Carter Moore kept his face, but secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Cecilia’s big clients were very

important to the Moore Group. Once they successfully signed the contracts, the Moore Group would

get to a higher level.”

Otherwise, he wouldn't have gone after Cecilia until now.

It was all right now.

Keeping the big client, getting rid of Cecilia, he killed two birds with one stone.

“Isaac is like me. He’s smart, he’s calm, and he’s a building block.”

Carter Moore said something nice, then sighed, “I’m too old, too old to work. It’s time to let it go and

enjoy the rest of my life.”

“Dad, what are you…”

Dylan Moore’s eyebrows twitched and his eyes lit up. He vaguely guessed something. Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.

Sure enough, Carter Moore said sternly, “With that out of the way, the Moore Group was on a roll. I’m

officially retiring as chairman, giving you and Isaac a free hand.”

Thumping…

Dylan Moore was so excited. He dropped to his knees in front of Carter Moore, “Dad, don’t worry. Isaac

and I will work hard to make the Moore Group bigger and stronger and live up to your trust.”

He spoke with great passion.

“Get up.”

Carter Moore, looking flat, stood up. “I have an appointment with Mr. Young, director of the Public

Security Bureau, to play ball at two o’clock this afternoon. Then I’ll talk to him about Sean Mason.”

“Sean Mason?”

Dylan was shocked, “You mean?”

“That little brat is good. He’s a disaster. If he knows what’s going on and can be of use to me, so be it.

If not, I’ll find a way to keep him in prison…”

Carter Moore was about to leave when he heard rapid footsteps.

“Dad!”

Isaac stormed into the office.

“You’re just in time.”

Dylan asked excitedly, “Have you met Mr. Roberts, Mr. Backer, and Mr. Brown? How did it go? Have

you signed the contract yet?”

“I…”

Isaac’s face didn’t look good. He wanted to tell the truth, but Carter Moore was there. He swallowed the

words on his lips and hesitated.

If Carter Moore found out that he screwed it up, the consequences were terrible.

“Say it!”

Dylan Moore was so impatient that he wanted to slap Isaac. Your grandfather was finally going to leave

office. If we won Cecilia’s big client and signed the contract, the Moore Group would be under the

control of us!

Why were you still hesitating?
