Everyone was shocked. There was light at the end of the tunnel, after all.Lilian didn’t suffer behind bars, and she even got 1.5 million dollars as compensation. Safe to say, the losses of her shop were sufficiently repaid.Lilian was proud about it; the more miserable she was when she in jail, the cockier she got when she was bailed out.Thinking of the second-in-command respectfully apologizing to her, she felt even more refreshed.Simon was exhilarated as well. He told Lilian everything that had happened, then looked at Silas with admiration.“There’s something you don’t know, honey. Without Silas’s help, you wouldn’t be able to get out that easily. Mr. Bolton wouldn’t even compensate you with that much money in the first place.”“You probably still would be in jail at this point!”“Aunt Anderson’s still stuck behind bars, and she’s not getting any compensation either.”Simon patted Silas’s shoulder gratefully.“What a good kid.”He was filled with admiration, thinking th
Harvey frowned. Before he could say anything, Mandy already spoke up for him.“Enough, Gabriel. I have a husband,” she said, frowning.Mandy had already decided to break off from Silas once and for all.She didn’t want to remain friends after their cooperation, either.Who knew that Lilian would owe Silas such a huge favor?“Husband?”“That kept man’s your husband?”Gabriel chuckled coldly.“Father and Mother told me about it already,” he said arrogantly. “Ever since he became the family’s live-in son-in-law, he hasn’t done a single thing for the past three years.”“And after you divorced him, he’s still here trying to leech the family!”“What’s the point of keeping someone like that here?”Avery laughed as well. “We need him to clean up the toilets, of course!”“What are you saying?”Gabriel pretended to look angry, and continued to mock Harvey. “Did you forget?”“Sir York here has relations with Kairi Patel herself!”“Maybe he begged for her to help this time!”Ga
Silas said such profound words, and behaved so politely. Lilian was very much satisfied with him.His looks and personality were no different from protagonists of TV dramas.Just like the protagonists, he was a romantic man; he was infatuated with Mandy, which was why he remained single for a long time.If Harvey was out of the picture, Mandy would be able to finally marry Silas. The Zimmer family would gain a powerful backer.And then, the Jean family would probably make Mandy the head of the family.Compared to the top tenth family of Country H, the John family was simply superior.Lilian looked at her future son-in-law, pleased as punch.Simon smiled gently. “Oh, Silas. Mandy will need your help to stand her ground in Golden Sands,” Lilian said. “You should take care of her.”“Don’t let other people take advantage of her!”Silas smiled back.“You’re overexaggerating.”“I’ll always spoil Mandy like a little princess, no matter what!”“I’ll give the entire world for
Seven o’clock at night, at the entrance of the Golden Plaza.The place was luxurious, lit up by dazzling bright lights.Two rows of beautiful women in gorgeous dresses stood at the entrance.After parking the car, Silas and the Zimmer family walked to the entrance haughtily.They felt proud when they saw such a grand entrance.Lilian even wanted to record a video to show off to her friend group.She would let herself down if she passed on that opportunity!A woman stepped forward to welcome them, blocking Silas and the others with a smile.“Hello. Are you Mr. York?”“Mr. York?”Gabriel was furious.“Are you insane?!”“I’m Gabriel—your manager’s good friend!”“I booked the Heavenly Box here!”Gabriel felt pompous after saying those words.Usually, he wouldn’t be able to afford the Heavenly Box. After all, the starting price of the room cost at least twelve thousand dollars.The people who could afford it had powerful statuses as well. The ladies here would suck up to suc
“I’m not going to that sh*tty place! Not even dogs go there!”Avery glared disdainfully. “Besides, today’s Mother’s big day. She’ll be embarrassed if we just leave like that!”“The entire place is booked, you say?” Gabriel coldly asked.“I don’t f*cking care!”“The Heavenly Box has to be ours tonight!”“I’m a member here! You need to serve me, no matter what!”“If not, I’ll report you people to the Food and Drug Administration!”Gabriel had a determined look.After all, he couldn’t even do anything significant. If he couldn’t deal with such a small matter, Lilian would surely look down on him.The lady smiled, unperturbed by his threats.“I’m sorry. You can report us all you want, but we can’t serve you tonight.”“Please don’t block the entrance,” she said firmly.“My name is Silas John.” Silas stepped forward with a smile before Gabriel could lash out.“Tell your boss to see me.”“Tell them that I’m here!”The lady froze. She was naturally terrified of the John family
“Ms. Lee! I was wondering who it was!”Silas glared coldly at her, his eyes narrowed.“Do you think you have the right to go against me just because the Newgate Chamber of Commerce is backing you up?”Silas was filled with disdain.At the end of the day, Ms. Lee was just a woman who relied on Kellan to rise to power.‘Does she really think that she’s capable?’‘Does a sinful woman like her have any rights?’Ms. Lee smiled faintly.“True, CEO Ruiz and I are small fries. We’re nothing to you.”“That said, Mr. Bolton has the place booked for the honorable Mr. York.”“If he knew that a mere relative of the John family is causing trouble outside…”“I’m sure he’ll be here to teach you a lesson soon enough.”Ms. Lee spoke gently.She seemed so frail, as if a small gust of wind could bring her down. However, her threatening words were enough to make Silas’s eyes twitch.“Mr. Bolton?” he said, cold sweat forming on his forehead.“Which Mr. Bolton?”Ms. Lee chuckled.“Other than
A custom-made Maybach stopped in front of them. Eight layers of glass were stacked in every single window. Even sniper rifles couldn’t penetrate it.A Rolls-Royce Phantom sat between eight of the Maybach cars. It had an old-school look to it. It wasn’t going too fast, but it exuded a dignified aura.Ms. Lee and the others trembled, and rushed forward.“Mr. Bolton’s here!”Silas and the others instinctively stood at the side, looking at the convoy with admiration and curiosity.They could tell that Azrael was coming.They wanted to know who he invited.Judging from Azrael’s identity, the people he’d invite would normally be from the five hidden families or the top ten families.The door of the cars opened.Thirty-six fierce men in suits rushed out, looking stern and unapproachable.Eight men in robes walked out, their eyes sharp and fearsome.After all the men made sure that there wasn’t any danger, they opened the door of the Rolls-Royce.Everyone saw a single leg coming ou
Harvey nodded with a smile, and walked beside Azrael.Saul, Lochlan, Kellan, and the others followed as well.The group chatted idly, in high spirits.Lilian and the others were shocked. They couldn’t accept the fact that Harvey was Azrael’s guest. They couldn’t bear Harvey looking down on them, either.No—he didn’t even see them in the first place.Birds in the sky wouldn’t bat an eye toward mere ants.It was only natural.Mandy let out a silent sigh.She knew Harvey had an extraordinary identity. She doubted him at first, but her belief was getting stronger again after seeing what was happening in front of her.Sometimes, she would think that Harvey was below her.But most of the time, she’d feel that Harvey was like a star in the sky—completely unreachable.It was fate that the two were even a married couple to begin with.It felt like a dream—it was almost unreal.While Lilian and the others were still shocked, Avery didn’t want to believe anything in front of her. She
