Chapter 13
The resounding slap echoed in the store.
Everyone was stunned at this moment.
Vincent, the richest man in Brookspring and also a prominent figure, had suddenly appeared here. Yet, right after his arrival, he
had directly delivered a resounding slap to Issac’s face..
What on earth was happening here?
Those onlookers outside the store, who were merely expecting a simple dispute, now all wore perplexed expressions.
“Oh my! I thought it was just a clothing quarrel. Why is Mr. Dunn involved in this?”
“Wait, isn’t Mr. Dunn supposed to be at the bidding conference today? It’s a very important thing for the Horizon Group. Why is
he here?”
“I heard this bidding conference involves a whopping 600 million dollars! It’s such a significant project, but why didn’t he take
care of that? And why did Mr. Dunn suddenly come here?”
“Wait a minute. I finally recognized the person who got slapped. He is Isaac Bailey, the son of Greenwald’s richest man, right?”
“Really? It seems like only Mr. Dunn had the nuts to openly slap the son of Greenwald’s richest man.”
“Mr. Dunn is actually willing to offend Greenwald’s richest man for that brother and sister? Could they be Mr. Dunn’s family?”
Many people speculate, but their guesses were far from the truth anyway.
Vincent’s slap was so forceful that it even caused blood to drip from the corner of Isaac’s mouth.
Isaac covered half of his check, staring at Vincent in disbelief, and asked.
“Vincent, what’s your problem?”
His father’s position in Greenwald equaled Vincent’s status in Brookspring.
In private, he would address Vincent as Mr. Dunn to show his respect, but that didn’t mean they were on good terms.
Now, Vincent had walked up to him and given him a resounding slap without saying even a word. Isaac, of course, couldn’t
tolerate it, and he immediately directed a torrent of abuse at Vincent.
After all, he had his influential father backing him, and his father’s status was on par with Vincent’s. Therefore, he wasn’t afraid of
Vincent at all.
Vincent coldly gazed at Isaac and spoke with a tone void of emotion.
“Leave with your people. Right now!”
He spoke bluntly, and his tone was completely unemotional.
Isaac, of course, couldn’t bear this at all.
How could he just leave like he was told after being slapped?
If this got out, how could he, the son of the wealthiest man in Greenwald, maintain his dignity?
He then shouted in anger.

His statement was loaded with threats, but Vincent, of course, wouldn’t be afraid of him. Isaac was just a spoiled young man in
his eyes, after all
He stared directly at Isaac and said with a cold tone.
“Don’t forget. This is Brookspring”
After Vincent’s words were uttered, the group of black-clad men behind him immediately walked forward with aggressive
determination.
At the same time, the bodyguards Isaac had brought over all wore hesitant expressions after seeing this.
Isaac’s heart was brimming with resentment, but the circumstances left him with little choice.
He also knew that he was now in Brookspring, not Greenwald.
With a heavy, disdainful snort, he glanced over Vincent’s shoulder and gazed at Gavin, who was standing behind Vincent.

“Hey, you, I won’t forget you.”
After he said these words, he swiftly turned around and declared without hesitation.
“Let’s go.”
Vincent didn’t stop Isaac from leaving because he knew he had more important things to deal with.
At the same time, Claire, the daughter of the Dawson family, was still standing there.
As soon as Vincent appeared. Claire was totally stunned.
The Dawson family had its renown, but compared to the wealthiest figure in Brookspring, they paled in comparison.
She even had no chance to talk to Vincent.
And in the end, Isaac, whom she had called for assistance, had left without a word after being slapped.
And she, of course, dared not utter a word at this moment.
After all, Vincent even had the nuts to treat Isaac in such a manner, and she was just nobody to him!
Therefore, Claire kept her head lowered all the time, said nothing, and hurriedly followed behind Isaac to run away.
However, just as she walked to the clothing store’s exit, a voice, belonging to Zoe, suddenly came from behind her.
“Hey!
“Claire, right? You haven’t knelt down and called my brother grandpa’ yet!”
Claire heard what Zoe said, and her body trembled at once.
But she then pretended not to hear what Zoe said and quickened her pace.
Yet, at this moment, she heard Vincent’s voice.
“Wait, are you Claire Dawson?”
Claire got a shiver and slowly turned around with a pale face. She looked at Vincent nervously and sad

Yes, Mr. Dunn. I’m Claire.”
Vincent responded with a cold grunt and said.
“I don’t care what you agreed to before, but I advise you to do as you’ve promised.”
Claire’s pupils contracted at once.
Her eyes were filled with panic and a hint of resentment.
Getting down on her knees and calling the man “Grandpa” was unthinkable to her. This is an insult not only to Claire but to the
Dawson family.
Still, she didn’t dare defy Vincent and could only glance at Isaac for help.
Isaac’s eyes were also filled with resentment as he gazed deeply at Vincent, but he didn’t say anything.
After all, he was now in Brookspring, not Greenwald.
“Heh!”
Vincent, after seeing Claire standing there for a while without doing anything, continued to say with a sneer...
“Then, withdraw all the investments related to the Dawson family.”
“No!” Claire cried out in shock at once.
Throughout the whole of Brookspring, almost every well-known family maintained a cooperative relationship with Vincent, the
wealthiest man in Brookspring.
It was because they all wanted to befriend Vincent, the wealthiest man in Brookspring!
If Vincent’s investments in the Dawson family were all withdrawn because of her, then the Dawson family would be ruined!
At that time, not to mention Vincent, even the members of the Dawson family would undoubtedly not let her.
With a sound of flop, Claire directly fell to her knees without any hesitation.
Then, she called out in Gavin’s direction.
“Grandpa! Grandpa, I was wrong!
“Grandpa, it was my mistake. I shouldn’t have taken your clothes!
“Grandpa, just forgive me. I was wrong!”
With every “grandpa” Claire called out, Isaac’s face darkened even more.
Because he was called over by Claire to support her situation.
go easily!
As a result, he not only failed to support Claire’s situation but also received a slap in the face and had to watch Claire, who called
him over, kneel on the ground and call Gavin “grandpa”.
Each of these things felt like a personal affront to Isaac.
“Hmph!” Isaac let out a cold snort. He then turned around and walked away, no longer able to hide the resentment in his
eyes.
The annoying people had all dispersed.
Finally, Vincent turned his head and walked to Gavin with an agitated expression.

After a few steps, he strode directly in front of Gavin.
He gazed deeply at Gavin, and a tear welled up in his eyes, and then....
“Plop!” With a sound, he knelt down on one knee in front of Gavin, amid the stunned gazes of Peter, the store clerks, and the
people outside the door.
Then, his trembling voice sounded.
“I’m so glad to see you again, Master!”
Master?
Not only Peter but also the store clerks and the people outside the door gaped at the unexpected spectacle with their eyes
widened. They collectively took at least five steps back in astonishment.
Vincent, the wealthiest man in Brookspring, was already in his fifties now.
And he held the highest business status in the city.
But now, he was kneeling right in front of a young man in his twenties, who was dressed plainly.
What was more, he even addressed the young man as “Master”.
This behavior was far beyond anyone’s comprehension.
Many people were completely stunned and froze on the spot like statues..
There were also some people who kept rubbing their eyes as if they couldn’t believe what they were seeing and hearing.
At this moment, Gavin, with an expressionless face that hadn’t changed, glanced coldly at Vincent kneeling on the ground and
turned to Peter of the clothing store.
He asked, “Can I use your office?”
Peter, who was stunned in shock, snapped to attention after hearing Gavin’s words and nodded at once while stammering.
“Yes, of course.”
Gavin then took his sister’s hand and walked toward Peter’s office. As he stood at the doorway, he left a low command.
“Vincent, get your ass in here!”
