"Didn't we submit the invoice at the beginning of this month?" Tyrone tapped the desk with his fingers.Florent nodded. Undoubtedly, the HQ was trying to withhold the payment to the company. Four weeks were more than enough time to process the transaction. Not to mention, only the best accountants were hired in HQ.After Irvin was hospitalized, Elijah resumed the helm of HQ. Elijah was hellbent on making Tyrone's life difficult. He wanted to see how long Tyrone could last with his own money. But soon enough, something unexpected happened—all companies working with the Hendricks began paying Tyrone's company directly.While this didn't affect HQ greatly—it had enough liquidity to sustain itself for months without any external revenue—it put Elijah in a difficult situation. Those old gaffers on the board found it humiliating to stoop to Tyrone, so they put pressure on Elijah instead.All bad things kept piling up on Elijah's end. After a meeting, Elijah kicked his desk out of frustra

Tyrone suppressed his amazement and pretended to leaf through the document nonchalantly. There was nothing peculiar about the contract. However, he refused to think that Elijah would let him go just like that unless pigs could fly."Craig, you have worked for Elijah for 15 years now, haven't you?" quizzed Tyrone. Elijah was ten years older than Tyrone. He started working way earlier than Tyrone, so it wasn't surprising that Craig had been around for a long time."Just cut to the chase, Mr. Tyrone.""Nothing. The contract is fine. Florent will liaise with you regarding the payment."Craig gazed at Tyrone, confused. He tried to glean an answer on Tyrone's face. "Please sign the contract, Mr. Tyrone, to ensure fairness to both parties."Tyrone nodded. Suddenly, the contract fell on the floor. Tyrone reached down to pick it up before signing it. Craig didn't like what had happened. He checked the contract multiple times."Afraid that I tampered with the document?""Of course not, Mr

Tyrone gritted his teeth and stood up. He pushed a cupboard to block the door and removed all needles on Kacy's body. "Quick. Put on your clothes. We're leaving this place now."Kacy hugged Tyrone and said, "Tyrone, I—""If they see us alone in this room, what do you think will happen?" Tyrone had never been this stern toward Kacy before. Kacy was stunned. In the end, she released Tyrone and put on some clothes.Tyrone approached the window. It had been sealed, but Tyrone kicked it open. He looked down and discerned that they were on the fifth floor. There was a lake under, so they should be fine if they made the jump."I'll jump first. Then you jump," ordered Tyrone.Kacy saw the height and shook her head furiously. She cried and begged, "No, I can't do this.""It's a lake down there. You'll be safe.""I can't, Tyrone. Just go. I won't mention you at all."Tyrone thought about it and proposed, "What if I carry you, and we jump together?"Kacy's eyes widened. She looked at Tyr

Tyrone asked Florent to get them tickets to return to Stillmond. Herculean Lion now belonged to Irvin. Naturally, Charlie was kicked out. They lost the pawn shop they had built from scratch.No one said it out loud, but everyone was rather disgruntled by Tyrone's decision. Luckily, Tyrone did not ask them to live on the street. He found them accommodation.Playing with the necklace in his hands, Tyrone took a trip down memory lane. It was his mother's favorite necklace. It wasn't valuable, but it was the first gift she received from Ambrose and a token of their love, so she treasured it dearly. After his mother passed, Tyrone tried to locate the necklace, only to find that Irvin had it. Florent knocked on the door to give Tyrone another status update. Tyrone immediately stashed the necklace away.Later that night, Tyrone was summoned by Ambrose, who had recently turned down every visitor, citing health reasons."They say you spent all your money for Louisa," Ambrose leaned ag

Chapter 371 ConfessionTyrone dusted off his hands and walked up to Randall. As he looked down at Randall, he said, "You shouldn't have deluded yourself into thinking you could defeat me. And now, look what happened."Randall glared at Tyrone while clutching his stomach. If looks could kill, Tyrone would have died a thousand times over. Tyrone took out his phone and looked up the hotel he wanted to go to. It was only a short distance from where he was, only a 15-minute walk. "I'll be going," he told Giselle. Giselle grabbed his wrist abruptly. Tyrone didn't speak as he looked at her with indifference. She suddenly realized that she was being rude. She let go of Tyrone's wrist and asked, "Where are you headed?"Tyrone told her the name of the hotel he was going to. Her eyes lit up, but then she frowned. "What a coincidence. I'm headed there, too.""Then, let's go together." Tyrone didn't think much about it. Giselle was curious about who Tyrone was meeting at the hotel but
