‘What?! Who’s shutting down my establishments and arresting my men? T-That can’t be right.’Darren snatched the phone from his subordinate. The former looked shocked as he tried calling several numbers, but none connected. Cold sweat dripped from Darren’s forehead as he panicked.He stared at Donovan in disbelief, asking, “Did you team up with Harold to come after me?”Donovan chucked. “I don’t have to get Chief Saun on board. It was Mr. Xayne’s idea.”Darren turned to look at Xayne sipping wine on a nearby couch with Tracy and Candy kneeling on the sidelines. The two girls dared not lift their heads as they knelt beside Xayne. Instead, they trembled in fear. They had never experienced such a terrifying situation before.Darren’s appearance made sense, but no one expected Donovan to show up. Moreover, the latter bowed to Xayne. It was a terrifying scenario, and the girls felt they could die of fear.Darren could no longer suppress his fear and asked, “W-Who the hell are you?”‘H

Oliver and Tracy bowed repeatedly, saying, “Thank you, Mr. Xayne!”Oliver added, “I’ll bring my daughter to your door tomorrow. We will apologize with a generous gift!”The others also bowed and expressed their gratitude for Xayne’s mercy. When he turned and left, Darren collapsed.‘It’s all over for me.’Donovan looked at the once arrogant Darren crumble. The former chuckled and said, “One wrong move can cost you the whole game. That’s the hand you’ve been dealt.”Soon after, Harold waved and ordered, “Take them away!”The shocking news rocked all of Shalholm the following day. Harold seized the Brunt Group overnight and sent Darren and Emily to prison. In addition, Donovan acquired all their entertainment venues and assets. Simultaneously, he took Darren’s men into his crew.The fame of Shalholm’s Grim Reaper skyrocketed overnight, capturing the city’s attention. Meanwhile, Eric and Tim gave Serena an earful at the Swift Group.Tim was currently representing the company as Vi

Oliver felt conflicted when he saw Eric’s actions.‘If I allow Eric to strike Serena, wouldn’t Mr. Xayne kill me and wipe out my family?’Oliver quickly stopped Eric and shouted, “Sir, you’ve misunderstood! I didn’t come here to confront Serena.”Eric and everyone else was shocked when they heard Oliver’s words.“Mr. Oliver, you don’t have to be polite. Since Serena has offended you, she deserves punishment. I heard about what happened, and I agree it’s her fault,” Eric spoke as he looked at Tracy.‘It’s clear Serena caused those injuries on Tracy’s face!’Eric thundered, “Why are you still standing? Kneel and apologize to Tracy!”Although Serena felt aggrieved as she faced Eric and her family’s oppressive attitude, she could only cry and kneel.However, Oliver quickly stopped her and said, “Ms. Serena, you don’t need to kneel. It should be Tracy who kneels and apologizes to you.”He looked around and noticed everyone’s shock. After a pause, he shouted, “What are you all stand

“The Lennings? Are you talking about Kendall?” Sophia shivered.Ethan nodded. “Back then, someone sabotaged the engagement banquet between Kendall and the son of the Xavier family. The Xaviers called off the engagement that night. You might not know about it because the Lennings kept it under wraps, but I just got wind of it.”"What?" Sophia grew excited as she stood from the sofa, asking, “The Xaviers called off Kendall’s engagement? That’s a big deal, but how does it relate to dealing with Xayne and Serena?”Ethan waved for Sophia to come closer.When she sat on his lap, he wrapped his arm around her waist and said, “Xayne’s the one who disrupted the engagement. After the incident, Kendall was devastated and swore to get back at him.“I also learned that the son of the Lenning family, Adrian Lenning, has returned from East Yoskea Military Theater. Do you know what position he holds now?”With suspicion and excitement in her eyes, Sophia asked, "Adrian Lenning? Are you talking a

“Sir, don’t be so hasty. I suggest you step aside, or we’ll have to force you to,” the head guard became more threatening as his previously composed demeanor grew colder. Moreover, his sunglasses made him look more intimidating to others.Two guards stepped forward, drawing their riot batons and glaring at Xayne. Meanwhile, the onlookers began discussing the situation.Meanwhile, the surrounding onlookers, including the starstruck fans, began chatting and discussing the situation. Some of the mall’s patrons even criticized the guards.“Look at the state of our society. These guards not only shoved us aside but also a child. Her forehead is bruised, yet they refuse to apologize properly.”“Ugh, they’re just power-tripping. What do these celebrities even contribute to the country? They’re just making money off us regular folks.”“Look, isn’t that Stephanie Curtin? She’s one of the Rising Stars participants making waves lately, right? No wonder these guards are so rude. Stephanie’s g
