Chapter 302: Bloody Plot



Chapter 302: Bloody Plot

The Bayard family, which originated from Delaware, has produced a governor, six federal senators, a federal congressman, and a federal cabinet minister.

Their family business was clothing, and later the entire family left the weak first state of the United States and migrated to Boston, Massachusetts.

The family was traditionally a vassal of the Lodge family, one of the core families of the Boston consortium.

He is one of the twelve trustees of Harvard University and has long controlled Harvard University Press and many newspapers in New England.

The Lodge family descended from the Cabot family, whose founder, George Cabot, had been an advisor to Hamilton and George Washington.

Later, the Lodge family and the Cabot family combined their surnames, and from then on the full name of the Lodge family should be Cabot-Lodge, which made this family rise in England.

The early Blackburn family was considered a vassal of the Adams family.

In the 1950s, the Adams family introduced Kennedy, a new member, as the main political training target of the Boston consortium.

The Lodge family's opposition was the most intense because their ancestors had been the most staunch supporters of the "Boston Brahmins."

The so-called Boston Brahmin caste system is an argument that originated in New England in the last century.

These people believe that – “our privileges come from order, just as the best fruits come from the best roots.”

Most of the Boston Brahmins are descendants of early American colonists, and they all firmly believe that leading American society is their mission.

They all believe in Protestantism and graduated from elite institutions such as Harvard University.

They also tend to marry people of equal social status to prevent their bloodline from being tainted.

At the same time, the Irish were particularly discriminated against.

The Lodge family was the most typical "Boston Brahmin", so they were very opposed to Adams's promotion of Kennedy, a Catholic and Irish descendant.

They even brought out members of the Bayard family to compete with Kennedy, although they lost in the end.

But the Boston consortium almost broke up because of this.

It was thanks to old Arthur's tricks, coupled with the great support of Kennedy, that they achieved results that stunned everyone.

In short, before Blackburn's rise, the Boston consortium was in a four-pole state.

The four core families of Adams, Lawrence, Lodge and Lowell united dozens of core families, took the New England region as the base, and indirectly radiated to several nearby states, forming the Boston Consortium.

I say so much because I want to explain the confrontation between the Lodge family and the Adams family back then.

Therefore, the Bayard family, which was a vassal of the Lodge family, and the Blackburn family, which was once a vassal of the Adams family, have always been at odds with each other.

When Paladin was alive, his greatest rival in Massachusetts had always been Craig of Bayard.

Later, Paladin passed away, and last year Craig became the new Attorney General of Massachusetts with the support of Boston families such as Lodge.

Craig is younger than Paladin in age, and can be said to be a new political talent to be trained by Rocky and others.

Don't consider Blackburn, who doesn't rely on Boston's base and is making trouble outside.

Craig is also considered a leader among the younger generation in the Boston area.

Boston has been the latest to go viral.

Craig Bayard, who was not yet married, intended to become Arthur Adams' son-in-law.

It is said that this was to heal the rift between the Lodge family and the Adams family.

And Craig is so outstanding, if the Adams family really marries Bayard.

Then I will never use side branches, because doing so would be insulting.

The most suitable person in the Adams branch is Peggy Audrey Adams, who is now a little joke in the Boston socialite circle.

"You don't want to marry Craig, do you?"

In the room.

Li Fuzhen held her breath, not daring to move, listening to the conversation between the two people outside.

"So what? We can't make our own decisions in our marriage. Everyone knows that..." the girl's soft voice sounded.

Li Fuzhen recognized the voice as Peggy, the young and beautiful female assistant beside Prosecutor Haley.

And the man's voice made Li Fuzhen tremble even more.

That was one of the powerful people who could influence her homeland, Milo Blackburn, who was known as the Godfather of Silicon Valley and had more influence in Silicon Valley than anyone else.

At this moment, a storm was spinning wildly in Li Fuzhen's mind.

The beautiful young female assistant and the handsome, strong and powerful man ran into the room and locked it. What were they going to do?

Lee Boo-jeong is an upper-class figure in South Korea and knows the ins and outs of these circles, so how could she not understand?

But now she didn't dare to go out, it was too embarrassing.

She was even more worried that if she was discovered, the other party would become angry and retaliate against her family's business.

There was no need to even retaliate, all the man had to do was say a few disapproving words to her father.

Li Fuzhen knew that this would make it impossible for her to succeed in the Xingxing Group!

Li Fuzhen now hated herself for not choosing from so many rooms. Why did she choose the innermost one? She also blamed herself. She should have queued in the public toilet outside.

In the end, just for this little bit of modesty of a chaebol daughter, such a scene happened! But everyone is curious.

In the midst of great remorse and regret, Lee Boo-jeong also has a great curiosity about the love-hate relationship among the senior executives of the American consortium.

"It can't be Bayard."

"Why?"

"Because I hate it."

"Just because you hate it? Wait, I think I remember. At Paladin's funeral, you almost hit Craig?"

"It's not like, it's that I was stopped after I hit him."

Paige, as Haley's cousin, also attended Paladin's funeral.

At the reception after the funeral.

There was almost a scandal.

That was the deceased Paladin's younger brother, who humiliated and beat the visiting guests.

Although it was suppressed later, it was never resolved because Milo Blackburn left Boston.

But it did happen, and many people know about it.

This was also the case when the Bayard family and the Lodge family repeatedly expressed to the Adams family their desire to marry their daughters.

And that’s one of the reasons why the Adams Family has been hesitant.

That is, many people know that Craig Bayard was almost beaten by Milo Blackburn.

The relationship between the two sides is obviously not good.

Although Blackburn rose later, it never caused trouble for the Bayard and Lodge families.

On the contrary, it also cooperates with the Lodge family.

Many people thought that Milo Blackburn might have grown up and no longer cared about what happened back then.

But Arthur Adams didn't dare to take the risk, so he was still hesitating.

"Are you so petty? Craig only said a few words at the time. Even Haley herself didn't care, but you reacted so strongly at the time - oh... I think I understand."

The girl's voice was drawn out, and Peggy looked up at Milo, "You bastard, you didn't want to get Haley into your bed at that time, did you? That's why you were so angry when you saw Craig say that?!"

"No, not yet."

"That's right! Otherwise, how could you make Hailey pregnant, twice! Don't lie to me, we all know that it's not Paladin's child at all. He was so weak before he got sick that he couldn't even speak, how could he have left frozen rice liquid!"

These words made Li Fuzhen straighten her body in the bathroom.

Too much information! Although many people in the American Draco knew that Hayley Harrison Blackburn's child was not Paladin's at all.

But outside, it relies on strong public opinion capabilities and control.

Everyone still believes that Haley Harrison's child is her late husband's.

Li Fuzhen originally thought so too.

Unexpectedly, her understanding in this regard has been overturned.

"So, Paige, do you regret it?"

"What are you regretting?"

"I regret not dating me. If you hadn't refused at that time, you might have two or three children now, all with the last name Blackburn."

"Then I will have to endure the fact that you have so many illegitimate children and so many other women out there, just like Ariana of Rockefeller?"

"Tsk, don't tell me that Arthur VI and Arthur VII don't have women and illegitimate children outside."

Arthur VI and Arthur VII, the former is Arthur Sr., Peggy's grandfather, and the latter is her father.

In European and American cultural traditions, taking the same name as an elder is seen as respect and blessing - respect for the elders and blessings for the younger generations.

But in daily life, it is necessary to distinguish between family members who have the same first name and surname.

The method is to simply add "X世" after the name.

Like Milo, his full name is actually Milo III John Bush Blackburn.

So exciting!

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

Li Fuzhen tried to keep her breathing as quiet as possible, put her ear against the door, and listened to the gossip of the American Tianlong people outside.

Paige was silenced.

Because it's just like Milo said.

Her father and grandfather both had lovers outside and had illegitimate children.

Even her brothers and other male relatives were cheating on her.

Therefore, Paladin, who was in his thirties at the time and had only Haley as his wife and the only woman, was considered a saint-like figure by many people in Boston.

And his brother is the devil among devils.

Peggy thought so in her heart, but she said, "These are all in the past. I don't care. Now you drag me in here, what do you want to do?"

"I don't want you to marry Bayard."

"reason?"

"Because you almost became my wife, and you are very beautiful."

"Hahaha, this reason is so funny."

"Not funny at all. Not at all."

"What do you want to do?"

"Of course I'll explain it. You disturbed Haley and me just now."

"Oh my God! Hailey is already seven months pregnant and she's about to give birth! You're still mistreating her like that. I was worried that something might happen to her health, so I interrupted you!"

"But you're making me feel really uncomfortable!"

"Then go find those wild women of yours out there. Hollywood isn't far from here, and it won't take them four hours to fly over here!"

"But I want it now."

"Then go outside. There are more than a hundred women at the party, and at least half of them are willing to help you satisfy your animal desires!"

"But when I thought about the possibility of you becoming Bayard's wife, I decided on you."

"No, I don't, wuwuwu..."

The conversation was interrupted here, and the sound of a girl struggling was heard outside.

There was also clothing being torn, some physical contact, and other random noises.

Li Fuzhen felt nervous and blushed when she heard this.

Then, with a scream of "Ah", Li Fuzhen heard the beautiful young female assistant screaming, "You hurt me!"

"Relax, it's always the first time."

Li Fuzhen was stunned.

The noise that followed let Li Fuzhen know.

It really should be like this, it really should be like this...

The reserved and suppressed moans, the girl's sweet breathing, the man's heavy breathing, and other messy sounds.

Lee Boo-jeong, who was eavesdropping, could almost picture in her mind the man putting the woman on the Simmons mattress, the girl resisting slightly but finally accepting it reluctantly.

I don't know how long it took, but Li Fuzhen was already exhausted, leaning against the wall of the bathroom, her face flushed, and her hands unconsciously...

Bang!

"Huh? Why is the bathroom door locked from the inside?"

A man's surprised voice sounded outside the toilet.

This moment made Li Fuzhen fall from heaven into the abyss.

What to do? It finally happened.

"Is anyone inside?"

No, really not! Li Fuzhen prayed to God devoutly, praying that what happened next would not happen.

Maybe her prayers worked.

Li Fuzhen was extremely frightened, but hope gradually emerged.

Because there was no more noise outside.

Got saved?

But Li Fuzhen didn't dare to go out for the time being.

Just like that, she didn't know how much time had passed.

Suddenly, there were light and obviously suppressed footsteps outside.

The sounds are dense but very small.

Li Fuzhen hasn't reacted yet.

Bang! With a loud bang, the bathroom door burst open.

"ah!"

Li Fuzhen screamed and almost peed herself out of fear.

Because the man outside was not the one she thought he was, but a few huge men with expressionless faces and wearing black suits.

After they opened the door, they quickly pointed their weapons at her.

Gun! Gun! Li Fuzhen was so frightened by the black muzzle that she almost fainted.

The rich and beautiful woman in South Korea could never have expected such a development.

"Shut up!"

The men in suits scolded calmly. Looking at the raised gun, Li Fuzhen, who was so scared that she covered her mouth tightly, tears streaming down her face uncontrollably.

She looked at them. After they came in and checked briefly, they picked up the intercom in front of her: "It's safe. There's only one person. He's Asian. No threat. Judging from his clothes, he might be a guest tonight."

"Okay, then please come and identify the person, butler."

Then not long after, Li Fuzhen felt that life was meaningless.

Maybe leaving this world is a better choice.

She saw a white woman in her fifties walking in from behind the men in suits.

Li Fuzhen suddenly saw hope of survival.

Li Fuzhen knew this white woman. She was the housekeeper of Prosecutor Haley! All the female guests tonight were entertained by this housekeeper!

Saved? Lee Boo-jeong, who had been completely numb, finally had a ray of hope in her closed inner world.
