Chapter 590 Chapter 590 Rodney lay at Aspens feet, his body soaked in blood, her triumphant stance making it clear who had the upper hand.
Anyone who caught her gaze instinctively looked away, too afraid to meet her eyes.
Gordons overwhelming presence filled the air with dread, silencing even those who despised Aspens arrogance. Though her words were infuriating, no one dared risk their lives for Rodney.
Everyone valued their own survival too much to challenge Gordon .
Mark finally spoke in a grave tone.
Aspen, thats enough.
Youve beaten him half to death.
Whatever grudge you had with Madblade Martial Academy, I think its tto put it to rest.
Mark had never been fond of the academy, but as the citys mayor, he could not just stand by and watch Rodney be tortured to death by someone from out of town.
Aspen chuckled softly.
Of course, Mr.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThatcher, I wouldnt dare disrespect your authority.
But tellthis Rodney humiliatedand nearly ruined my reputation as a woman.
Do you think a few broken bones are enough to settle that kind of score? Marks brow furrowed.
What do you want, then? Aspens smile turned cold.
At the very least, I want Rodney to lose the ability to be a man.
Mark fell silent, fully understanding the dilemma.
Rodneys actions had caused a serious issue, and with someone like Gordon standing beside Aspen, interfering too much could provoke conflict with the powers in Bridgefields.
Sensing that Mark was stuck, Aspen shifted her focus to Marvin and Tiana.
Flashing a respectful smile, she said, Mr.
Yates, Mrs.
Rhodes, I apologize for the unpleasant scene today.
Im just a woman who was nearly robbed of her dignity.
With a grudge that deep, I cant rest until its avenged even if it means going to extremes.
She bowed politely to both of them as she spoke.
Marvin sipped his tea, his tone indifferent.
Ms.
Stevens, your personal matters are none of my concern.
11 Tiana offered a small smile.
As a woman, I understand your pain.
Reputation is everything to a woman.
Whatever actions you take, I wouldnt consider them excessive.
Thank you, Mr.
Yates, Mr.
Thatcher, and Mrs.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmRhodes, Aspen replied graciously.
She had accomplished exactly what she wanted securing the silent approval of Jayrodales most powerful figures
Now, even if she went too far and accidentally killed Rodney thesen influential people would have a hard tholding her fully accountable. At worst, any fallout could be mitigated through her familys political connections.
Aspen glanced down at Rodney, her lips curling into a smirk.
Youre pathetic, Mr.
Sanford.
The future heir of Madblade Martial Academy, one of Jayredales Foun Most Eligible Bachelors reduced to E this. She ground her heel into his face and laughed softly.
And now youre lying here like a half dead dog.
Look around -this whole city is watching, and not a single person is willing to save you.
No one even dares to speak up for you.
Isnt that tragic? Her words stung the crowd below.
They were directed at Rodney, but everyone knew she was really mocking Jayrodale as a whole.
The message was clear Aspen had broken one of the e citys mostom prominent young men, and no one dared to challenge her for it.
