Rayson was enraged and bellowed, “Derek Piers, stop barking like a mad dog! So what if I’m standing on Mr. Gray’s side? Since you want to court death, I can’t be bothered to stop you. But after losing dozens of your experts to Howards, you can’t even defeat the Howards now, and you’re even less qualified to make a scene in front of me!

“If you want to go to war with my family, bring it on!”

Derek was hopping mad. “Rayson Williams, stop being arrogant in front of me! As soon as I put the video of you kneeling and begging for mercy on the Internet, you won’t dare to be so arrogant anymore!”

He originally thought that Rayson would be daunted by what he said since it concerned his reputation and the Williams’.

But to his surprise, Rayson merely sneered. “Derek, just keep pretending! During that situation, you were scared out of your wits after Mr. Gray dealt with your people. How could you have secretly recorded it?”

When he first heard Derek’s threat, Rayson was startled, thinking that Derek had really recorded a video of the greatest humiliation of his life as blackmail against him. But he had just thought it through clearly and recalled that Lucas was present that day, and Derek’s subordinates had either been knocked out by Jordan or taken away by the Howards. How could he have secretly recorded a video?

This was indeed the case. Derek didn’t have any video of Rayson apologizing on his knees. It was just a lie that he made up to fool him.

Having been exposed by Rayson, Derek’s expression stiffened, and he could only grit his teeth in anger and curse, “Old fox!”

At this moment, Florence smiled and said, “Derek, you’ve been talking about joining forces with the Bransons to fight me from the start, but did Mr. Branson agree? I’m afraid that this is all your own wishful thinking, right?”

From the moment Rayson rejected Derek’s invitation to join forces and made it clear that he was on Lucas’s side, Florence felt a great sense of relief and also noticed the change in emotions on Eric’s face.

Due to the change in situation, Eric’s expression had changed erratically for a long time. Florence could tell that he planned to take a step back, so she deliberately spelled it out loud.

Eric frowned. Rayson suddenly defected to Lucas, causing him to feel a strong sense of crisis and a terrible premonition. He had been thinking about what Lucas’s identity was and why Rayson was so afraid of him. He contemplated if he should continue cooperating with Derek to go against Lucas.

In the end, as soon as he revealed a tinge of fear, Florence immediately exposed him, causing him to be extremely displeased.

As expected, Derek immediately looked at Eric and asked in a deep voice, “Eric, you’re not afraid of Lucas and the Howards, are you? Your son died at their hands. Are you really going to take it lying down?”

Eric gritted his teeth and said with hostility, “I have my own play for this. You don’t need to say more!”

Derek’s heart immediately sank.

Eric’s attitude had obviously changed. It seemed like he wanted to back down.

At this moment, a black BMW slowly pulled over in front of the Stone residence.

Everyone turned to look at the car.

The Stones were already numb at this moment. Who came this time?

The car door opened, and a middle-aged man in his forties stepped out from the passenger seat.

Soon, a badly bruised young man was escorted out by two men who looked like bodyguards, and they were walking behind the middle-aged man.

Everyone watched with puzzlement as the middle-aged man walked toward Lucas and said respectfully, “Lucas, I’ve done everything you asked me to do. I’ve found the person, and I’m waiting for your decision!”

The middle-aged man who came was none other than Flynn Davis, the general manager of Stardust Corporation!

But no one expected that Flynn was also one of Lucas’s men, and he was so respectful to Lucas!

When Derek saw the young man escorted over by Flynn’s bodyguards, his expression changed drastically! How did Lucas’s man find him? This shouldn’t be possible!

The others looked puzzled, wondering what Flynn meant by bringing this young man here.

While everyone was confused, Flynn had already walked up to the young man and warned coldly, “Now, tell us everything you know and what you’ve done honestly! Otherwise, I’ll make sure you die miserably!”

This young man had already been taught a lesson earlier. So as soon as he heard what Flynn said, horror appeared on his face, and he frantically said, “I-I’ll tell you everything! Please don’t kill me! He got me to do it! He told me to kill Mark Branson in secret so that no one could tell!”

The young man suddenly pointed at someone among the crowd.

The person he pointed at was Derek!

Everyone was shocked!

Eric’s expression changed greatly as he rushed forward and grabbed the young man by his collar. “What did you say? Say it again! How did my son die?”

He had always thought that his son Mark had died of pain after Jordan broke his limbs. But this young man explained that he was the one who had killed his son!

Eric’s anger was imaginable.

The others were also stunned. They didn’t expect that there was more behind Mark’s death.

Jordan sneered and realized something. “I’ve always found it strange. I clearly controlled myself and only broke Mark Branson’s bones. There were no fatal injuries, so how did he suddenly die? It turns out someone has secretly done something!”

Jordan looked at Lucas gratefully.

Lucas obviously also felt that there was something unusual about Mark’s death, which was why he had instructed Flynn to investigate and find out the true murderer!

Florence looked at Derek and snickered. “Derek, this is an interesting game you’re playing to sow discord! You almost got away with it!”

Derek’s face was incomparably gloomy, and large beads of cold sweat appeared on his face.

This young man was indeed the henchman he had ordered to kill Mark to frame Jordan. Only in this way would the Bransons form a feud with Jordan and Lucas. In that case, the Piers would have an invisible ally.

But Derek never thought that Lucas would send someone to capture his henchman and expose his plot on the spot!

Eric picked up the young man by his collar and gave him a hard slap. Then he glared at Derek and snapped, “Damn it! Derek, how are you going to explain this to me? Ahh!”
