Chapter 66 You’re Doomed
When they witnessed Leones daring to lay a hand on Rhett, those standing by, including Heston and his companions, were utterly stunned.
Who was Rhett?
He was none other than the young scion of the Sullivan family.
And the Sullivan family? They were among Sherland’s top ten affluent clans, known for their immense wealth and formidable influence.
Rhett had a backbone as sturdy as a steel beam.
How on earth did that guy summon the nerve to lay a hand on Rhett? It was like he was asking for a death wish!
Heston was gripped by fear as he observed the situation. He dreaded the prospect of being drawn into the incident.
Yet, upon careful consideration, he understood that they were all classmates, and evading involvement might prove impossible.
“Leones, have you gone mad!?” Sophie screamed as if Leones had pinched her instead of Rhett. Sophie had initially planned to curry favor with Rhett and the Sullivan family, with aspirations of entering the elite circles of Sherland’s business world.
However, things turned when Susan refused to cooperate, and Leones took action against Rhett.
What kind of classmates were they? It seemed like they were always dragging her down!
Leones ignored the others and sternly warned Rhett, “Did you hear me?”
“I heard… I heard…” Rhett nodded repeatedly, like a frightened bird pecking for seeds, “Please, let go… My hand is about to break…”
Snap!
Rhett’s wrist finally snapped the moment Leones released his grip.
“Ah!”
Rhett let out a miserable scream and staggered back repeatedly.
“Get lost!”
Leones rebuked coldly.
“You… You…”
Rhett gripped his injured wrist and backed away to a safe distance. Then, he angrily declared, “You just wait! How dare you break my wrist! I won’t let you off so easily!”
They were in the heart of Grandeur Tower, the Sullivan family’s domain!
To have the audacity to snap his wrist on their territory?
Rhett vowed he would never forgive such an insult!
All the classmates present were utterly stunned as they watched Rhett leave in a sorry state. “Had Leones lost his mind? How could he even think of touching Rhett, let alone breaking his
wrist!”
“It looks like those five years behind bars were for nothing. For all we know, this might put him in jail for a few days! This is a serious matter. The Sullivan family won’t just let it slide!”

“Maybe we should think about getting out of here for now. What if we end up getting dragged into this mess later on? Who can handle the Sullivan family’s fury?”
Some shy classmates, who felt the situation was getting bad and were worried about getting involved, thought about sneaking away.
But when they got to the door of the private room, they were surprised to see security guards blocking the way.
“Mr. Sullivan has issued explicit instructions that no one from this room is permitted to leave at the moment,” one of the guards informed them sternly.
“We’ll decide what to do when Mr. Sullivan returns,” another guard added.
“You guys have some nerve going against someone from the Sullivan family.”
When Rhett left, he had already instructed the building’s security team to seal off the private room to prevent Leones from trying to escape.
The security team arrived promptly, wasting no time. They blocked everyone and stood by, awaiting Rhett’s return to make a decision.
The classmates‘ faces paled upon witnessing the turn of events. Everyone was feeling anxious.
“It’s all your fault, Leones!”
“Yeah, look at the trouble you’ve caused!”
People began to complain, but it seemed too late to change anything.
“We’re finished,” Heston sighed. His spirits were utterly crushed. “Your actions might just cost me my job, Leones.”
While others might recover, Heston worked at the Sullivan family’s corporate empire.
After this debacle, how could he continue his career within the Sullivan family’s company?
“Susan, you insisted on bringing him here. Look at the mess he had done!”
Sophie was on the verge of tears.
Sophie failed to impress the wealthy elite and even soured relations with one. Sophie’s dreams of joining a prestigious family were shattered. Just then, Susan had regained her composure amidst the chaos. “Leones, thank you for helping me out just now,” Susan said.
Unlike the others, she was expressing her gratitude to Leones.
This time, Susan’s actions left everyone astonished and even infuriated.
“Susan, have you gone crazy too?”
“You’re thanking him?”
“We’re all in trouble because of him!”
Susan remained calm and replied, “Rhett tried to take me forcibly, and you all just watched!”
“What’s worse, someone even helped him push me out!” Susan added while casting an accusing glance at Sophie.
What kind of friend was she? It was like she was throwing her under the bus!
“I did it for your own good!” Sophie protested.
“For my own good?” Susan chuckled. “Well, when Leones acted as he did earlier, it was also for my

good! So, of course, I thanked him. Any issues with that?”
“You!” Sophie was speechless. “Both of you are crazy!”
Leones calmly sat down, poured himself a glass of water, took a sip, and said, “There’s no need for everyone to panic.”
“I, Leones, will take responsibility for my actions! I won’t drag you into this!”
“Let Rhett go ahead and call whoever he wants. It would be best to bring all the big shots he mentioned!
“I want to see who dares to touch me!”
Heston looked at Leones in disbelief and said, “You’re insane! Rhett alone is enough to crush you, and you’re delusional about meeting all the big shots?”
On the other hand, Rhett clutched onto his injured hand when he arrived at the door of another private room. He gently knocked on the door.
“Come in!”
Itai’s voice echoed from inside.
Since Leones hadn’t returned, there was still some freedom to move around inside the private
room.
“Grandfather!” Rhett burst into tears as soon as he entered the room.
He recounted in detail everything that had just happened.
Itai couldn’t contain his anger upon seeing his beloved grandson with his wrist injured.
“What an audacious brat! How dare he cause a stir in the Sullivan family’s territory!”
Itai couldn’t help but wonder what had unfolded that day.
First, there was the uproar caused by a man.
And now, another audacious youngster had gone so far as to break his grandson’s wrist.
The Sullivan family had never suffered such humiliation in all its history!
Itai thought, “I may not be able to contend with someone like Mr. Bloom, but can I not handle a brash youngster causing chaos here?”
“Gentlemen, please excuse me for a moment,” Itai said as he stood up. “I’ll explain to Mr. Bloom once he returns. I’ll be back shortly.”
Itai was preparing to lead a swift response.
“Very well, Mr. Itai Sullivan!” the others responded.
The room fell briefly silent after the Sullivan family members left.
Archie from the Peterson family spoke up, “Has Mr. Bloom not returned yet?”
“Yeah… Mr. Bloom mentioned he was going to see a fellow student. Why is it taking so long?” Others joined in the discussion.
“Rhett mentioned that the people at the student gathering over there were the ones who broke his wrist,” Archie continued, deep in thought. “Do you think… the one who used force might be… Mr. Bloom?”
A collective gasp
filled the room as they suddenly realized the possibility.
“This isn’t good!” They exclaimed while hurriedly getting up. “We need to go over and check!”
