Jaslene realized that she couldn’t delay any longer. Therefore, she wanted to execute her plan right away.After ending the phone call with her brother, Jaslene hurriedly approached Christian, who was sitting on the lobby sofa.“Mr. Demetri! Are you okay? I heard that you just had a confrontation with the leaders of the USA Martial Arts Association,” Jaslene asked, her face feigning panic.Christian turned to Jaslene and said, “I’m fine. You can see for yourself.”Jaslene scrutinized Christian from head to toe. She didn’t see any signs of serious injury. There were only a few scratches visible on his hands and cheeks.“Thank goodness. I’ve been worried about your safety,” Jaslene said, exhaling deeply.Christian furrowed his brow at Jaslene’s concern. It was enough to puzzle him.Jaslene was quick to read the situation. She realized that Christian was puzzled and didn’t believe her displayed concern. So, she quickly made an excuse.“I mean, I was worried because if anything happened t

Christian somehow felt offended when he heard that Altus was suspected by Darrell. Perhaps one reason was because Altus had helped Christian to rescue Anika.“I’m sorry, Mr. Demetri, I just want everything to remain safe and under control, especially your privacy, Mr. Demetri,” Darrell said.Yve held Christian’s hand, trying to calm her husband.Then Yve looked at Darrell and said, “I understand your good intentions. But maybe it’s better if you postpone this job for now. Once my husband approves it, then you can start searching again.”“Alright, Miss Yve, I will order the others to stop the search. Excuse me!” Darrell said.After that, Darrell left Mr. Demetri’s room to instruct Louis and his employees to stop the search.Then she turned to Christian and looked at the man’s face.“Why did you suddenly get angry with Darrell? Isn’t he just thinking about our well-being?” Yve asked softly.“But he accused Altus of doing something harmful to me. You know he’s the first person who tried

Darrell was surprised to hear Christian’s command. He realized that the letter Christian was about to send would only escalate tensions between the two parties.Was the confrontation about to begin?“Are you sure about this, Mr. Demetri? Because if so, we need to be prepared for their retaliation,” Darrell asked.Christian furrowed his brow. Then he said, “Didn’t I want to eliminate them? Why are you still asking?”Darrell nodded, saying, “Forgive me, Mr. Demetri.”“Just carry out my orders. If they take offense and challenge me, I’ll go there myself to eliminate them all!” Christian declared.“Yes, Sir!” Darrell said, bowing.In truth, Darrell didn’t agree with Christian’s plan. But he had no choice but to obey Christian’s orders.After that, Christian continued out of the hotel with Yve to go to their respective companies.For the past two days, Yve had been leaving with her husband, escorted by Christian’s private driver.Actually, Christian preferred it this way; it would be much

It was understandable that Elvan’s reaction was so furious. After all, the contents of the letter were a threat that gave the impression that the Murphy Family was a small family with no power at all, so they should fear just mere words.Darrell shrugged with a downturned mouth.“If you want to know the meaning of that letter, please contact Mr. Demetri. But I suggest you just follow what’s written in the letter to not mess with Mr. Demetri. Because if you act against Mr. Demetri’s wishes or challenge him, your entire family will be annihilated!” Darrell said with a contemptuous tone.Elvan slammed the table again. Then he pointed at Darrell and said, “You tell someone named Mr. Demetri, me and the entire Murphy family will not fear him. It’s actually him who should be afraid, not me. Because I will bring destruction that will make him regret challenging me!”“Are you sure about that?” Darrell asked again. “I don’t mean to interfere in your family’s decisions, but I just want to remin

Christian was deeply curious about the person who had assaulted Feri. The issue seemed far larger to Christian than what met the eye.Altus, though he had only just met the person, left a profound first impression.If Feri’s assertion that Altus was not the assailant were true, it would certainly put Christian at ease.However, Feri’s frightened expression was evident. He seemed hesitant to disclose the truth to Christian. Altus’s threats had truly instilled fear in Feri.“Why won’t you answer? Is it because you’re being pressured by the person who assaulted you?” Christian asked. “If so, don’t worry, I’ll protect you.”Feri shook his head.Christian took a deep breath. He tried to contain his rising emotions as Feri refused to reveal the identity of his assailant, despite Christian’s good intentions.Then Christian showed Feri a photo of Altus. He asked, “Is this the person? I received information from my subordinate that someone who hacked into the hotel security system used tools f
