"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
"Don't spout nonsense," Jordan shoots Lorenzo a glare.Lorenzo chuckles and makes a gesture as if sealing his mouth and throwing the key.Just then, Avery walks into the restaurant with Gerald following behind her."Over here, mum," sighting her mum, Isabella immediately stands up and waves.Isabella's voice instantly attract the attention of the other diners. When Isabella arrived, she had used a piece of clothing to cover her face so the diners wouldn't recognize her but out of urgency to call out to her mum, she had forgotten about the clothing and now she has attracted the attention she didn't want to attract."Isn't that Isabella Caden?" A diner asks."It's obviously her. Her ex-husband came to the restaurant and is dining with a strange man and now she is here with an unknown man. What are they really up to?"Isabella has never been one to care about the people's babblings, but her interest is rather piqued by what she just heard. "Jordan is here too? Where?" She glances around
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
Daisy and Jordan are not so close that Jordan would inform her that he was having lunch with Lorenzo or even tell her of his activities. Besides, even if they were close, that was naturally Jordan's choice to make. If he wished, he would tell Daisy about his activities, if he didn't, Daisy would only have to mind her business.Daisy is well aware of this and only made that statement because she found out that Isabella was dining in the same restaurant as Jordan. She was having a rest in her room earlier when she suddenly started missing Jordan. She realized she had not seen or spoken to him for a while.She tried to suppress her emotions but the more she tried the more she missed him even more. Having no other option, she summoned John and asked him to find out about Jordan's whereabouts and what he was doing at the moment. As a top family, ranking 5th on the list of the most powerful families, the Kanes have a wide connection, and as such finding Jordan's whereabouts was just a piec
