"So you mean to say that Edith and Layla were bundled out of East Veridora by unknown thugs?" Brian asks, his brows furrowed. Brian, for some reason, had ordered so many of his boys to keep their eyes on Isabella and report to him everything that goes on in her life, everything she does, including the slightest thing as when she is using the toilet. Unbeknownst to Isabella, she has a crazy stalker for a friend. Just now, the sturdy man had recounted to Brian everything that had happened in Isabella's life for the past few hours. Starting from the emergency call that caused her and her family to rush to Crestview General Hospital to the departing of Edith and Layla. He also added that while Edith and Layla were trying to book their lodgings for the night, some unknown burly figures suddenly approached them and tied them up as if they were pieces of offerings and left, driving all the way to the border between East Veridora and Opulence Heights and tossing them there."Yes, boss," th

The Cadens had left home without informing any external body so Isabella is naturally shocked to see Brian at the doorstep and so are Gerald and Avery."Miss Isabella," ignoring Isabella's question, Brian greets her with a smile. Simultaneously, he looks over at Avery and Gerald and waves at them. "Mrs. Avery. Gerald.""Mr. Martinez," Avery greets back with a smile. "What are you doing here?"Brian abruptly frowns, his brows furrowed in concern. "I heard what happened and had to rush down as soon as possible.""How did you come about it? We haven't told anyone," Avery retorts, raising a brow at him."I naturally have my ways," Brian shrugs. "By the way, I can't believe that the punk could be so impulsive."Avery's face instantly darkens. "That punk," she grits her teeth and sighs, regret clouding her expression. "I only blame myself for letting my daughter go ahead with the marriage in the first place. "If she never had anything to do with him, how would we be in this situation? Now,

MAJESTIC DINING CO...In an inconspicuous corner of the five-star restaurant, two handsome men sit before a table. One of them is clad in a black coat and his face is obscured with a black mask.As a prominent figure, he had to hide his face lest someone identifies him and this causes a problem for not just him but the man in front of him. These handsome men are naturally Jordan and Lorenzo. After Jordan told Lorenzo where he was, Lorenzo immediately sent his chauffeur to pick Jordan up and bring him over to Majestic Dining Co.He had prepared a private room for them in advance but Jordan declined that, saying the normal floor was ok. Jordan is his Lord; since he said that, how could Lorenzo argue? It was already an honor for him to take him out for lunch."My Lord, why don't you ever call me? You've faced countless problems over time but you never called me for help. Why?" Lorenzo asks respectfully, staring at Jordan with a depressing expression.Jordan smiles and waves him off. "Y

Isabella's face falls. Indeed, the Cadens were doing relatively well. Amongst the top five families, they were the only family with a better and solid stronghold even though they were originally not from East Veridora.It is safe to say that though they are a small family they were the strongest amongst the top five families and if not for Arthur's decision to declare the contract null, they would have already ascended the radar to become the top 1 family, far surpassing the Maguire and the Kane families, which are but the 4th and 5th on the list.Isabella sighs. She can't blame Arthur though. She blames herself for solely depending on him and misusing her opportunity. So many of these families have so many businesses, it gives them the gateway to survive whenever catastrophe strikes any of their companies. She had Arthur Smith, who is an influential figure in East Veridora. If only she thought to start other companies, with his umbrella covering her, she would have successfully done

"Hahaha, that is so hilarious. Probably, the most hilarious thing I've heard in a long time," Daisy bursts into laughter, tears streaming down her cheeks. "And what's funny?" Gerald snaps, frowning.Daisy shakes her head as she says with a tinge of amusement in her voice, "Is it that you Cadens have no idea of the power and influence the Cadens of Opulence Heights wield that you will believe any Tom, Dick, or Harry can bundle two of the members of their family out of East Veridora? What makes you guys think that the Brian of a guy could bundle Edith and Layla out of East Veridora? Even my family would be scrupulous to do such a thing yet you believe that that man with no known background could do it? Are you three really this dumb or are you pretending to be?"Brian frowns, an ominous premonition rising in his heart. Daisy speaks like she knows who bundled Layla and Edith out of East Veridora. If she blows his cover, wouldn't that destroy his plan and make him seem like a joke to the
