"No, no, Madam Edith, please wait!" Before Layla can even stand up, Avery yells and dashes over to Edith. She doesn't waste a moment to kneel as she begs, "Please, Madam Edith, don't report us to the Patriarch. I apologize on Isabella's behalf."Isabella is shocked to see how easily it is for her mum to kneel and beg. She is practically cowering to Edith as if she is a god. How bizarre.Avery has always been known for her character of bullying the weak. But now, she is literally kissing Edith's ass. Isabella shakes her head. Since her mum wants to beg, she should go ahead.That can never be her."You are begging on her behalf as what?" Edith scowls, glowering at Avery. "Doesn't your daughter have her own mouth or is she feeling too proud to beg?"Avery smiles bitterly. "Madam Edith, Isabella is but a child. She doesn't know how the world works yet. Please accept my apology."Layla stands and walks to Edith. She whispers, "Aunt, Isabella might be the President of Sun Glow Apparels bu
At the chairman's office, World Apparels Galaxy...Jordan sits in the Chairman's seat, oblivious to the fact that Layla and Edith had gone to the Cadens to threaten them to hand over Sun Glow Apparels to them. At this moment, he is playing a game on his phone. Since the job he was offered was a mere facade, he has nothing to do and can only play games to while away time and cure boredom.KNOCK KNOCK...There is a sudden knock at the door. Jordan raises his head slightly. It is only Arthur and Benjamin who know he is currently in the office. That means it must be one of them.He drops back his gaze to his phone, goes back to his game, and says calmly, "Come in."The door opens and Arthur walks in. "Sire," he acknowledges with a bow."Anything the matter?" Jordan asks, not bothering to glance at him."Benjamin has called Anderson to inform him of my journey tomorrow. Everything is going as planned.""Good," Jordan says. "You have a long day ahead of you tomorrow so you should go prepare
Brian's face darkens. Who could have the guts to be knocking at this moment? Does the person have a death wish? He glances subtly at the door before swaying his gaze back to the brunette and choosing to disregard the knocking, resumes ramming in and out her with reckless abandon.However, he has barely gone more than three strokes when the knocking on the door resumes again and this time it is persistent. The person behind the door doesn't even stop to take a breather as he continually keeps knocking, almost as if he just doesn't want Brian to continue with his fun."Ah!" Brian groans in frustration and halts his waist movement. He shoves the brunette away as if she is nothing but a piece of trash and orders coldly, "Scram.""What?" The brunette is taken aback. She was just about to achieve orgasm. Like, she was almost there, almost, and now he is telling her to leave. How can he leave her hanging?She stares at Brian, her expression sullen as she asks, "You are not serious, right
"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
"Mmm," Brian grumbles. "Wait here, I reek and need to shower." Without waiting for the sturdy's response, he squashes his cigarette against a plate and tosses it into a trash can before making his way to the bathroom. Nearly an hour later, he walks out naked, looking all refreshed with his dick dangling."Tell me what you found," as he picks up a new brief, he says."There wasn't much to discover, boss," the sturdy man replies, a hint of unease in his demeanor. There is only one reason he believes a person's details can't be unearthed; the person is extremely powerful and has a formidable influence, rendering his details inaccessible to those of lower status. This can't help but leave him pondering how that could be so.Jordan is just a pauper so how can his details be hidden? Brian furrows his brow. "You couldn't even trace his origins or his life before he suddenly showed up in East Veridora?""No, boss. It's like he materialized out of thin air. Almost like a deity descending fr
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,
"Hahaha," Isabella suddenly bursts out laughing while looking at Brian as if she is looking at a joke of a lifetime."Isabella?" Avery arches her brow at her. Isabella just started laughing when no one made any joke. Is she going crazy or what?She stares at her from head to toe, asking suspiciously, "Are you ok?"Brian also expresses his concern. "Yes, Miss Isabella, are you ok? Why did you suddenly start laughing?""I'm perfectly fine," Isabella rolls her eyes at them."Then why did you laugh?""That's because your words are funny. While you made sense that I wouldn't sit by idly and wait till Madam Edith and Layla come for us, what do you think I could do if they deploy all their forces to deal with us? "What does it matter if you threatened them? They are the Cadens of Opulence Heights; if they deploy all their powerhouses and come for us, do you think we have experts that can battle with them? "I'm sorry, but you just acted like Jordan! To think you were just telling me not long
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
