Chapter 523 - Evil Deeds Equal To Bad Karma
Alexis kept on contacting Mark and Daniel but no one between them responded to him. Mark was busy with his photoshoot as a model in a men's magazine while Daniel was helping his father, the Governor in his charity works.
They were clueless that their involvement with the incident that happened to Tristan and Matthew had been revealed to the elders.
Grandpa Lu was currently talking to Grandpa Alejandro and Grandma Clara. He was informing them about the crime Mark and Daniel had committed against Tristan.
He also told them the punishment he would give the two. He would officially announce it during the family gathering this weekend.
Grandpa Alejandro supported Grandpa Lu's decision while Grandma Clara was still hesitating to do it since Mark and Daniel were her grandsons.
But she had to admit that what they did was wrong. They should have fixed their conflict with Tristan, instead of scheming against him. After all, they were family.
But Mark and Daniel resorted to doing the bad thing. They chose revenge over reconciliation. Grandma Clara couldn't help them now. Grandpa Lu's decision was firm.
Grandma Clara hoped that after this her two grandsons would admit their sins and reflect on their wrongdoings. Tristan and his wife, including their baby's life, were put in danger because of their actions.
Later on, Grandma Clara finally accepted Grandpa Lu's decision. She could understand it. Mark and Daniel committed a grave sin. They would not tolerate their hideous actions.
Grandma Clara volunteered that she would be the one to talk to Mark's and Daniel's parents and explained everything to them.
Meanwhile, Mark and Daniel had just read Alexis's messages. He was asking them where they were. They finally responded to him in their group chat.
~ MAD GROUP CHAT ~ *( MAD stands for Mark, Alexis, and Daniel )* (^^,)
Mark: [ Sorry, Bro. I was busy with my photoshoot. What's up? What emergency are you talking about? ]
Daniel: [ Same here. It's very hectic on my part. It is so hard to be a son of a politician! ]
Alexis: [ What deal did the two of you make with my brother??? He was arrested this morning. Your cousin, Tristan, filed a complaint against my brother! What do you know about the Bermuda Gang? Why is it that my brother is being accused as the mastermind of the assault? ]
Alexis bombarded them with so many questions. He felt pressured right now. Their father was very furious while their mother was worried sick about John. The Bancroft Family was in a chaotic state right now.
On the other hand, Mark and Daniel were both utterly astounded after knowing what happened to John Bancroft. It seemed that the Bermuda Gang was caught and they revealed John as the mastermind.
It was unexpected and surprising that the Bermuda gang betrayed their client. They were known for being loyal so they couldn't understand how Tristan was able to make them talk.
They didn't know if they should feel relieved about this or not. But they were certain that they didn't give their full names to the leader of the Bermuda Gang while communicating with him. They thought they were safe.
Since John Bancroft was the one being blamed in this incident, Mark and Daniel thought of washing their hands and feigning innocence to what happened.
Mark: [ What?! Tristan did that to your brother? ]
Alexis: [ Mark, answer me. What do you know about the Bermuda Gang? What deal did you make with my brother? ]
Mark: [ Chillax man. I didn't make any deal with your brother. I just referred him to the Bermuda Gang since he wanted some people to do a job for him. ]
Mark was the one who instigated John to his revenge and used the Bermuda Gang to implement his plan.
Daniel: [ Yes, that's the truth, Alexis. We just referred him to them. No deal! ]
Daniel supported his cousin's claim.
Alexis: [ My brother said to find you because you will help him. With or without a deal, you have to help my brother! You were the ones who introduced him to the Bermuda Gang! ]
Alexis looked furious. He was not stupid. He could feel that his friends were trying to wash their hands now since everything went wrong.
'Are they planning to put all the blame on brother? No way! They have to help him or else, they will also suffer from the consequences.' Alexis thought to himself.
He already made up his mind. If Mark and Daniel would not help his brother then he would send the screenshot of their message and send it to Tristan Davis.
This would serve as proof that the two cousins were the ones who introduced the Bermuda Gang to his brother.
Mark: [ Ok bro. Calm down. We will find a way to help him out. ]
Daniel: [ Yes. Don't worry too much. We will try our best to stop this lawsuit. ]
Mark and Daniel reassured Alexis. But the truth was they also didn't know how they would help John. They just told them those words to pacify Alexis.
However, Alexis didn't want words. He wanted to see action.
Alexis: [ Help him. I hope by tomorrow my brother will no longer face the lawsuit, or else, he is not the only one who will suffer the consequence. ]
Alexis just warned his friends. He knew them well. If they would just take this case for granted then he had no choice but to involve them. After all, blood is thicker than water! His brother was important to him.
Mark and Daniel had a nagging feeling about the last message from Alexis. He sounded very serious this time.
They already knew how Alexis spoiled his brother so much. He was really a good big brother to John. He would do anything for his brother even if it meant betraying his friends.
Well, in the first place, they were the first ones who planned this. They used John Bancroft as a scapegoat in order to achieve their goal.
They rejoiced when they learned that Tristan was hospitalized and now staying at home just to recuperate from his injury.
But there was always karma. Their evil plan would always backfire on them. It was just a matter of time and they would know their karma.
