Chapter 636

Lawrence stormed in the Peterson family's lavish villa with a few guards trailing behind. When they reached the courtyard gate, they found Sean sprawled on the ground, blood covering his head and eyes.

"Mr. Rodriguez, Sean is probably..." Bryan panted.

"He's not dead, but he won't last long either. Who told you arrived so late, Mr. Rodriguez?" Mars's voice cut through the air. He kicked Sean's head, but Sean didn't react.

Lawrence's eyes narrowed, locking onto Mars's face.

"Bryan, take a picture and call the cops! Mars has crippled Sean."

Mars quickly pulled his foot back and tossed a check onto Sean. He looked at Lawrence with a smug grin. "Mr. Rodriguez, who's about to fall from grace, what good will calling the cops do? Everyone in Trento City knows Sean's a repeat offender against women. If this gets out, everyone would say he deserves it."

Lawrence clasped his hands behind his back, his eyes darkening. "Where's Ronald's wife? Do you have a witness or an injury report? Mars, what's your relationship with Ronald? On what basis do you defend him and condemn Sean? Is this all a plot you orchestrated to silence Sean?"

Mars froze at the sharp questions.

Their gazes clashed like flames in the air, speaking a language only they could understand.

Mars laughed loudly, walking over to whisper, "You figured out my motive quickly enough. Too bad he's already crippled. He was a lustful fool, so eager and naive to fall into my trap. And he really is stupid, thinking I'd help him seize the CEO position."

A storm brewed in Lawrence's eyes as he grabbed Mars by the collar. "Where's Jeremy? You and Sean are in cahoots. What have you done to Jeremy?"

"I don't know what you're talking about," Mars denied flatly, but the sinister smile in his eyes was evident.

He leaned close to Lawrence's ear. "Blame it all on your foolish cousin. I don't know where's Jeremy. The only one who does, Sean, probably can't speak anymore." Mars's triumphant smile infuriated Lawrence, whose eyes turned blood-red as he punched Mars.

Mars tilted his head, viciously grabbing Lawrence's hands. "Do you think you're still the untouchable richest man, hitting whoever you please? Let me tell you, Lawrence, you've fallen from grace and will soon become a drowned rat. Last time, I stole your chip, and you took down my West Iron Group. This time, I've learned my lesson. You can't even find EWM's data, so you can't sue Fantasyville NexGen Innovations Company. Speaking of NexGen Innovations Company, with your intuition, you know whose company that is, right? Even if you're sharp, it's too late. For the sake of Winnie, you've destroyed your company, friends, career, and family. I've been waiting for this day for a long time."

"Mars!" A deep male voice leisurely called out. "No need to say more. Since Sean is already crippled, let Lawrence take him away."

Lawrence turned his gaze towards the villa, where a robust middle-aged man stood.

That was Ronnie, wearing a faint smile, his posture upright.

Ronnie's gaze, deeply concealed, flicked towards Lawrence, a self-satisfied smile playing on his face. "Mr. Rodriguez, despite all your precautions, you probably never expected that the Peterson Group would overshadow the Rodriguez family one day!"

Lawrence clenched his fists, cursing himself for not recognizing Ronnie's true color at the Rodriguez family banquet that day. Even through his numerous encounters with Mars, he had failed to uncover Ronnie's scheme.

It turned out Ronnie had been using Mars as a front all this time, quietly expanding the Peterson Group under his guidance.

During this time, Hellen had played a crucial role.

'What was the dynamic between these three individuals? Were Hellen and Ronnie siblings?' His thoughts were a tangled web, his eyes bloodshot and brimming with fury.

Lawrence surged forward. "So, you're Ronnie? I wanted to have a talk with you!"

"Surround them!" Mars was stunned by Lawrence's audacity, not expecting him to be so bold even in such dire straits.

Some people naturally possess a noble and fierce aura that others lack.

Like Mars, whose eyes flashed with jealousy, he ordered the bodyguards to act. "Lawrence, this is the Peterson family. Times have changed. You no longer have the privilege to meet with the chairman of the Peterson Group! After all, our Peterson family holds the top position in Veridiania. As for the Rodriguez Group, who knows if it will fall to third, fourth, or even the bottom? It's almost bankrupt, isn't it? You'd better go back and clean up. Because I'm coming back soon!"

Ronnie chuckled softly. "That's right. Mars will acquire the Rodriguez Group and become the new young richest man of Veridiania, noble and supreme."

Mars, even more arrogant and sinister, glanced at the bend outside the villa and suddenly smiled wickedly. "Oh, you might not be so free. Didn't you forcibly take someone else's wife? That's illegal!"

As Mars's mocking tone echoed, Lawrence's cold brow furrowed.

At that moment, a large group of police officers walked in through the gate!

The leading officer, surveying the situation inside the villa, locked his gaze on Lawrence. He quickly approached. "Are you Lawrence? You know Rock and Elliott, right? They reported that you kidnapped Rock's wife, who is also Elliott's niece. Please come with us to the police station for investigation."

Lawrence's expression was as cold as an ice.

Bryan, caught off guard, was completely unprepared for this turn of events and was somewhat flustered. "Mr. Rodriguez, what should we do?"

"Lawrence, you should go to the police station and cooperate with the investigation. From this moment on, your title as the young richest man is completely gone." Mars sneered with schadenfreude.

Lawrence looked at him expressionlessly. 'Rock couldn't possibly have reported this.' He suddenly realized something, his sharp eyes narrowing fiercely. "Mars, what is your relationship with Rock?"

Mars's eyes flickered slightly, and he smirked. "Not much. But aren't we both your enemies? Besides, Rock and Winnie are already married. If he doesn't take this chance to get his wife back, he would be a fool."

Lawrence's brow furrowed deeply. Although Mars denied it, he felt that things were far from simple. The Rodriguez family was in trouble, Mars pressing step by step, the Peterson family harming the Rodriguez family, and Rock reported him.

All of this seemed like a premeditated web, gradually trapping him in a snare!

"Lawrence, you must come with us." The police urged, taking out handcuffs and snapping them onto Lawrence's wrists.
