“ Oh wow, that's an interesting pay. I will do as you say.” Thompson said with a smile. “ Mind you…” Dickson stopped and glanced at Thompson. “ If you get caught, don't mention my name, if you love your life.” Dickson's voice was as cold as his demeanour. The coldness of his voice was like gla
“ Oh I see, $5 million.” The gangster repeated, his gaze solemnly fixed on Arabella who was still holding in her breath. Thank goodness she wasn't an asthmatic patient, because if she was, it was certain that she would be dead by then. The smoke from the gangster cigarette could make someone cou
“ What are you waiting for? Call in all our men from the clan! I want you to end him!” The gangster shouted, his veins pooping in his neck. “ Yes Boss!” The man replied and walked out of the room. “ The rest of you, if he enters, pull the trigger and end his life!” he turned, facing the rest o
“ I need to attend to something, drive Arabella back to the mansion.” Ryvan said and came down from the car. “ Why did you save us if you can't drive us back home, you useless wimp!” Lilith shouted, her cheeks red with anger. “ I hate driving so much!” She whined, but nevertheless, she got i
Everyone turned silent as they observed Li Wei curiously. The member of his family couldn't wait to reign insults on Ryvan, if eventually their grandfather doesn't wake up. The tension in the ward was palpable and there was pin-drop silence. Suddenly, the silence was broken when the door to the w
‘ No! No! Master told me that the seven needles of Gochua already disappeared years ago.’ Doctor Zhang pondered inwardly as he stared into space again. “ Is everything okay, Doctor Zhang?” He Jian tapped him slowly, jotting him once more from his thoughts. “ I'm fine. I will commence with the t
“ He is going to die soon, if I don't treat him.” Ryvan said calmly, despite the fact that he was being held tightly by two hefty men. “ I said get him out of here!” He Jian shouted, his body shivering in fear. His head was a total mess. Meanwhile , Doctor Zhang wasn't sure where it all went wr
Ryvan wanted to leave, but when he heard the sound of the voice, he couldn't help but listen. The voice continued speaking angrily at someone. “ The silver needle containing the poison would have killed him, but as you know, the useless young man already started treatment before I arrived, so as s
The meeting finally came to an end and everyone returned to their villa to rest for the night. Ryvan wanted to leave and head to his place, but Arabella didn't let him. She wanted him to stay the night with her in her room. If it was just a few hours ago, Malice would never allow such, that was t
Just when Dickson was about to fall on his knees, his father, David, stopped him. “ Arabella, tell me whatever you need, but I can't let my son kneel before a woman like you.” David said, causing Arabella to scoff as she bit her lips to avoid saying inappropriate words. ‘ Still haven't learnt yo
“ Dickson, step forward!” Henry called and Dickson walked towards the podium, his head bowed in shame. “ Are you ready to tell the truth about the contract or do you want it forced out of your mouth?” Henry asked coldly. He was no more the sweet and biassed grandpa, who would always side him even
Arabella was still sniffling slowly, her arms wrapped around Ryvan like her life would come to an end if she let go. Ryvan didn't break the hug; instead, they remained in the same position for over five minutes, the dim light coming from the street bulb shone brightly on their faces. After Arabell
Arabella swiftly turned to Ryvan, her eyes still filled with shock from what Mr Bald had said a few minutes before leaving. “ Is he saying the truth?” She asked, her voice barely above whisper. “ Let's talk when we get home.” Ryvan replied. “ What he said about you, is it true?” Henry couldn't h
Everywhere turned silent, as everyone stared and focused their gazes on Dickson, who felt like the ground should open and swallow him. This was what he was trying so badly to avoid. But, he wasn't aware that Ryvan and Arabella would invite Mr Bald to the party, and because of that, he was in a tig
As Henry glanced at Ryvan, he just couldn't take off his mind from earlier. If he was really a prominent man like Dave said, why would he remain as a son-in-law in the family who treated him like trash? “ Grandpa, is there a problem?” Dickson walked towards Henry, jolting him out of his trance. “
The air was filled with anticipation at Henry's villa. It was finally the day of the celebration. Twinkling lights strung across the sprawling gardens, creating a magical atmosphere. Laughter and music drifted through the evening ajr, mingling with the scent of blooming jasmine. The hall was fil
“ If I were to follow my instincts, you would be on your way to the gate of Hades right now, but I guess I will let them handle you.” Ryvan said and stood up, calmly shoving his hands back into his pocket. He looked like a gentleman once again. If not for the fact that Bruce had seen him beat u
