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 time to 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.
Thatcher , I wouldnt dare disrespect your authority .
But tell me this Rodney humiliated me and 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.
Rhodes , 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 , these influential people would have a hard time holding 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 .
