Chapter 58
Wayne’s whole body was trembling violently. Desperation and terror filled his eyes. However, he began taking deep breaths. trying to calm himself down. This was to save his life! Of course, it was for the sake of his own life.
As the wealthiest man in Greenwald, Joshua’s methods behind the scenes were crystal clear to Wayne. At this moment, he needed to come up with a plan! Soon, Gavin was surely going to reveal the fact that Wayne had swapped the medicinal herb he had given him.
Wayne decided to firmly deny it at that time, insisting that he had done nothing. After all, there was no evidence on their side. They would not be able to do anything to him without evidence! At this realization, Wayne controlled his emotions. and calmed down. However, he was completely unaware of how naive he had been.
At this moment, Gavin, with a composed expression, looked at Joshua kneeling on the ground.
Of course, he knew Joshua Bailey.
Back in the day, the role Joshua played was akin to the current wealthiest man of Brookspring, Vincent Dunn. They were all his servants at the time. However, over the past decade, these servants had all transformed into individuals with significant social status. Gavin was not sure whether he should feel relieved now.
He asked without strong emotions, “Is this pharmacy yours?”
Joshua knelt on the ground, keeping his head low, and dared not lift it. He nodded vigorously and spoke loudly, saying, “Master, this pharmacy is not mine. It belongs to you! All the assets under my control belong to you! As a servant, I’m merely managing them on your behalf!”
Hearing Joshua’s words, the group of Bailey Pharmacy’s bodyguards surrounding him was filled with a deep sense of shock! Their worldviews had been completely shattered by now, and they were slowly rebuilding them. When had they ever seen their boss act so subservient to somebody else? Who exactly was the young man standing opposite?
Just moments ago, they had been influenced by Wayne and were planning to take action against this young man. Thank goodness Joshua arrived in time! If they had truly laid hands on this young man, the consequences would have been unimaginable! At this moment, they were all kneeling on the ground, heads down, their bodies trembling slightly, afraid to lift their heads and witness the scene before them.
After receiving Joshua’s response, Gavin pointed at Wayne, who was kneeling on the other side, and asked, “Is he your man?” Joshua’s body twitched slightly upon hearing this question. He then turned to look in the direction Gavin was pointing and immediately responded, “Yes, Master. He’s Wayne Lynch, and I arranged for him to be here to manage this pharmacy.” Gavin let out a soft chuckle and calmly remarked. “Joshua, you have indeed cultivated quite a competent subordinate.” Upon hearing this, Joshua’s face turned pale, and he trembled. If he could not decipher such an obvious taunt, he would not deserve to be the wealthiest man in Greenwald! Gavin’s words were clearly mocking him.
Next, Joshua turned around and, with an icy and angry gaze, shouted at Wayne, “You bastard! What did you do to provoke the master?”
Wayne shivered heavily and quickly replied, “Mr. Bailey, I didn’t do anything…”
Here, Wayne was just about to implement the strategy he had just decided on, which was to deny any involvement and insist that he had not done anything.
However, he hadn’t finished his sentence when Joshua’s furious roar cut in. “Shut up! You don’t need to say anything. Those who dare to offend the master will be executed without mercy!”
“What?” Wayne gasped, and the look of despair and fear reappeared in his eyes. This was different from what he had imagined! Why wouldn’t his boss, with whom he had spent so many years, even listen to him? Wayne had completely underestimated Gavin’s status in Joshua’s eyes.
“Mr. Bailey!” Wayne shouted with a teary voice.
On the other side, Joshua had already yelled, “Take this bastard to the backyard and get rid of him!”
“What… The bodyguards looked at each other in hesitation. After all, they had spent a long time with Wayne. They were reluctant to comply with Joshua’s demand right away
“No! Mr. Bailey, I know I was wrong. I really know I was wrong!”
Wayne, seeing that things had escalated to this point and realizing he had no way out, began to scream. He even knelt down and turned in the direction of Gavin.
With a loud thud, he knocked his head on the ground Then he raised his palm, and with a loud slap, he hercely slapped has own face Immediately, he shouted loudly. “Master, I was wrong! I truly know I was wrong!”
After that, there was another loud thud, which was a knock of his head on the ground. And then, followed by a slap again. That was another slap to his own face

However, Gavin had no intention of paying attention to his pleas. Meanwhile, Joshua, unconcerned with Wayne’s begging. yelled again, “What the hell are you all standing around for?! Kill this bastard! Or
else, I’ll kill all of you!”
The group of bodyguards upon hearing this statement, shivered in fear. Because carrying out such an act of killing was something Joshua could actually do, and he had the capability to do it! Without hesitation, they loudly replied, “Yes!”
Then, they sprang to their feet and gathered around in the direction of Wayne.
“No, please let me go!
“Let me go, I know I was wrong, I really know I was wrong…” Wayne’s cries became fainter and finally vanished in the backyard.
A faint smell of blood filled the air.
At this point, Joshua cautiously asked, “Master, I have taken care of Wayne. Are you satisfied with the result?”
Hearing Joshua’s question, Gavin replied indifferently, “Not quite.”
“Huh?” Joshua was shocked by Gavin’s response, his face turning pale. The next moment, Joshua raised his hand and slapped himself in the face, saying loudly, “Master, this is my bad, and I leave my fate in your hands!”
The bodyguards, who had just returned after disposing of Wayne, witnessed this scene. They were so frightened that they immediately knelt down again, trembling all over. Goodness, if they had to be killed as well to please Gavin, what should they do?
Gavin watched Joshua slap himself and then raised his hand to say, “It’s not because of this. It’s because that bastard you just dealt with had switched the herb that I had prepared for my aunt with
someone else!”
Joshua was briefly taken aback, and he instinctively raised his head to ask, “Master, who did he switch your herb with?” Gavin recalled and replied, “I heard that person just now call him something like… Mr. Hill.”
Joshua was slightly surprised and immediately said, “Brody from the Hill family?”
Gavin raised an eyebrow and asked, “You know him?”
Joshua nodded and explained, “Master, I know why Brody took an interest in your herb. He wants to be a student of Dr. Myers in Riverrun!”
“Dr. Myers?” Gavin’s eyes lit up with interest when he heard the words.
