Chapter 267
Dominic nodded and said, "That's right. Caitlin's family is of no use to us anymore. We don't need to keep in touch with them."
Melissa added, "When Samara married Matthew, I knew her life was over. Now that the Herman Family has become poor, there's no need to associate with these poor relatives. If we don't cut ties with them, we'll have a lot of trouble in the future."
"Yeah, just setting up a stall caused so much trouble. They'll surely cause more trouble in the future. The Clark Family is strong now. If people find out our relatives are these poor folks, it'll be embarrassing for us," someone flattered.
The members of the Clark Family all agreed. They completely forgot that they had taken Caitlin's assets.
Charlotte nodded and said, "You're right. Since we're a powerful family now, we shouldn't be in contact with these poor relatives. Let's hold a press conference tomorrow and announce to everyone that we've kicked Samara out of the Clark Family, and they have no relation to us anymore."
"Great idea, Charlotte. Your decision is wise!" someone quickly flattered.
The members of the Clark Family laughed. They had been worried that Caitlin might rise again, but Charlotte's attitude made them believe Caitlin had no chance.
Meanwhile, on the pedestrian street, after a few minutes, many cars arrived, and a group of people got out of them.
Vincent and Ian looked expectant. These people were tall, wearing black clothes, and looked tough.
Leading the group was a middle-aged man, the famous William.
When William saw Vincent kneeling on the ground, his expression changed.
"Mr. Johnson, he's the one who attacked me. I mentioned your name, but he wasn't afraid of you. You have to help me get revenge!" Vincent shouted loudly upon seeing William. But William went to Leon and asked with concern, "Mr. Corleone, are you hurt?"
The henchmen kept their heads down, too scared to look at Vincent.
"Mr. Corleone, I'm glad you're not hurt. I was so worried after your call." William was sweating profusely, feeling the urge to kill Vincent for provoking Leon.
Even now, William remembered what had happened last time. He had knelt down and begged for Leon's forgiveness, or he would have been dead.
Moreover, Leon's henchman Bradley was now the leader of the Rock State gang, making Leon's status even more unimaginable.
William's attitude puzzled everyone present.
Especially Vincent, who widened his eyes in disbelief.
"Mr. Johnson, are you mistaken? I'm the one who's injured," Vincent said, feeling wronged and almost on the verge of tears.
Instead of helping him, William showed concern for Leon.
Leon coldly said, "I'm not hurt, but someone damaged my wife's stall."
Others noticed that the goods Caitlin intended to sell were ruined and unsellable.
This shocked William, who looked around angrily and asked, "Who did this?"
His henchmen loudly replied, "It was them. Don't you know where you are? How dare you do this!"
Everyone looked at Elisa, who was trembling on the ground out of fear.
William understood everything and picked up a steel pipe, hitting Vincent's face, scolding, "Didn't I warn you before? You can't bully ordinary people. Just because you have some reputation around here, you think you're tough? You almost got me killed!"
William was furious, hitting Vincent's knee with the steel pipe, and breaking it, causing Vincent to scream in pain.
But William didn't stop there. He broke Vincent's hands and feet before finally stopping.
Vincent could only scream in agony, filled with confusion, unable to understand why William did this.
Not just Vincent, but everyone else was puzzled too. Their gazes toward Leon had changed. Why was this happening?
Caitlin was also puzzled. Was it the power of the Clark Family that made William so afraid?
But it made sense because the Clark Family controlled all the police in Rock State, making them the most feared by the gangs.
Was Leon considering this, which was why he remained calm?
At that moment, another group of people approached, led by Bradley, the new leader of the Rock State gang.
"Isn't that Bradley, the new leader of the Rock State gang? Why is he here?" someone whispered.
Everyone was surprised that Bradley had come because of this small incident.
Ignoring others' reactions, Bradley went to Leon and said, "Mr. Corleone, are you okay? I was terrified after your call. These guys dared to provoke you. I'll make sure to teach them a lesson!"
Hearing Bradley's words, everyone was even more astonished. Leon was just a useless guy living off his wife. Why was Bradley treating him with such respect? It was unbelievable.
"Even if they didn't offend me, it's wrong to bully ordinary people. I think you know what to do," Leon said in a cold voice.
Hearing this, Bradley was very anxious because Leon seemed genuinely angry.
So Bradley slapped William and scolded, "William, what's going on? Didn't I tell you before? This can't happen again. Did you not take my words seriously?"
William knelt down, repeatedly apologizing, saying, "Mr. Reed, I'm sorry. I didn't discipline them properly, which led to them offending Mr. Corleone."
