"You said your information was reliable?"Tyrone was surprised to hear about Teddy's return. So, he was pretty interested. "Yes, he got in contact with the Prescott Family from Shoresdale. They plan to hit you from the underworld and the business world simultaneously," Harry said worriedly. The Prescott Family was the tenth most influential family in Shoresdale. Its financial prowess and military might outclass everything Cleyton could muster. "Interesting," Tyrone said, seemingly lost in thought. He remembered that Shoresdale was where his 13th brother, Irvin Hendrick, was based. It meant that he had to confront Irvin if he wanted to expand his influence into Shoresdale or even just to fend off the Prescotts. It wasn't easy, but it was not impossible."Mr. Hendrick, Teddy is very well-prepared this time. Is it … hopeless for us?"Harry felt despair. There was no chance they were winning against a family from Shoresdale. He saw Tyrone frown and felt like things were even mor

The Aurora Villa wasn't particularly valuable. Teddy had wanted to get rid of it long ago. He didn't expect to be dethroned. Nor did he expect this abandoned villa to be his shelter. He had hired some cleaners to dust the place off, and the place was serviceable. Two middle-aged men were sitting across from each other in the living room. There were several bottles of expensive wine on the table. One of the men with a weathered expression was Teddy. The man sitting across from him was his partner in crime. The second son of the Prescott Family, Martin Prescott."Mr. Martin, thanks for lending me a hand. Or else, the empire I fought to build will all be stolen by that Hendrick kid. Teddy filled up their glasses, raised a toast, and downed his glass in one go. He was extremely frustrated. Logically speaking, his influence and power in the city were too deeply rooted for anyone to take him out. Much less a man who married into a wealthy family with no marketable skills and a bad

It was like the outcome was already decided. Nay, it was definitely decided. Even though Teddy wasn't the one targeted, he still wiped the cold sweat off his forehead. The dagger was already at Tyrone's throat. Victory was assured. Teddy already saw himself as the king of Cleyton. Tyrone, his enemy, was just a stepping stone for him. He wouldn't have gotten the support of the Prescotts without Tyrone. Teddy started to feel anxious as Fabian was just standing there and not cutting Tyrone. He didn't know why Fabian was stalling. Why would he keep his dagger there but not do anything? Teddy thought Fabian was still trying to show off. But he wished Fabian would just slice Tyrone's throat and get it over with. The situation seemed strange. The smile faded from Teddy's face. He had the urge to run over and see what was going on. Naturally, Martin also noticed the abnormality. Fabian had always been decisive. He wouldn't have waited so long when all it took was a simple flick of his

At night. "Ysabella, time to eat," Tyrone yelled toward the bedroom after he put the food on the dining table. He didn't hear a reply, so he went to the bedroom. Ysabella was engrossed in her work and would occasionally twirl the hair near her ear with her pen. A stack of documents on the table showed just how busy she was. Tyrone silently crept up behind her and took a look. Everyone else was busy dealing with the matters relating to the Prescott Family that they had neglected Sky High Group. Tyrone frowned when he saw the contents of the proposal. Pinea Group from Shoresdale intended to invest in Sky High Group. An investment in the company is usually a good thing, more so if it was from a decently large company from Shoresdale. The investment amount was quite attractive, too. 100 million dollars. This might not be much for Tyrone, but it was huge for Sky High Group. Tyrone could tell that Ysabella suspected that something was wrong from her attitude. There was more tha

Ysabella became extremely busy in the following days. She wasn't doing anything challenging. It was mostly communication. She summoned all the employees who held shares one by one. She would ask questions to determine their loyalty. Then, she would summarize the data, create a table, and analyze the data. At the moment, she was satisfied with the data she acquired. Even though the threat of Pinea Group was looming over them, her employees decided to stick with her to the very end. At least, that is what they said. Finally, it was time to talk to Silas. "Ms. Vaughn, you were looking for me?" Silas had a respectful expression, but Ysabella could tell that he looked down on her. Usually, it would be nice to work under a pretty woman. But everyone in the company knew Ysabella was married to a useless man. Silas was upset. He didn't understand why Ysabella would pick such an inferior man. Since that was the case, he didn't mind destroying her. He already had his eyes on another
