The company's market expansion plan was nearing its conclusion. So, Ysabella worked until late at night to ensure no mistakes were made. As soon as she got home, she flung her high heels off. The moment her body touched the bed, she felt a wave of fatigue washed over her. She felt like she was lying down on soft, fluffy clouds. "Honey, take a bath before you sleep," Tyrone said in a clear voice. He had just finished heating up the water. There was no reply. So he gave up on trying to get her to take a bath. He was about to leave when Ysabella's nose twitched. She had a keen sense of smell, and she felt like she had smelled the scent before. She followed the scent to Tyrone's body. It was the smell of cape jasmines. Both of them were shocked. Tyrone realized that he must have gotten the scent on him from Tara's room. He had forgotten to get rid of the scent. Ysabella felt conflicted. In the last "domestic violence" incident, Tyrone had explained himself. It was because the
"Where are you?"The first words out of Ysabella's mouth were cold. But what Tyrone couldn't see was that she sighed in relief in her car. She was relieved that he picked up. It meant he didn't get into an accident. "I didn't get the chance to tell you last night. I'll be … staying with Emerson for a few days." Ysabella smirked, but she felt like a weight was on her chest. She collected her emotions and said, "Stay wherever you want to. It has nothing to do with me!" She hung up. She was outraged. She figured that staying over at a friend's place was just an excuse. She was sure that she wouldn't find him if she went to Emerson's place now. He must have gotten with the cape jasmine perfume woman last night!They must have had a lot of fun last night. He was still sleeping at this hour. She stopped that train of thought immediately. She thought it had nothing to do with her, even if he had another woman. She tried to pretend that she didn't care, but she couldn't stop the
"I need to go." Tyrone knew what he needed to do. He stood up and started to leave. "What are you going to do?""I'll talk it out with Ysabella." "Are you crazy, Ty? She's still mad at you. If you bring up Mariposa now, would she even believe you? You'll only make things worse," Emerson said.The trio was anxious. Even Vergil, who came up with the idea, felt the same. He didn't think he was right because he convinced Tyrone. Contrary to that, he agreed with Emerson. "If she wants to believe me, then she will." He wasted no more time. He quickly left the office. His phone rang just as he drove out of the parking lot. "Ty, go to QuickHeal Pharmacy now! Ysabella went there with Gina. She went missing out of nowhere. We can't get through to her phone either."Tyrone was dumbstruck. He couldn't believe Ysabella could just go missing like that.He stepped on the gas and ran multiple red lights. He made a call to Gina while weaving through traffic. As soon as the call went
Tyrone looked up at the sky helplessly as he exited the building. He was feeling lost. The light of his life was nowhere to be found. He was escorted out of the building by a group of bruised and beaten employees. They stared at him from a distance to see him off. Tyrone didn't want to confront Teddy so soon. He wanted to find the opportunity to seize all of his resources. But he has alerted Teddy now. Plans would need to be changed. He wasn't in the mood to care about Teddy now. The only thing on his mind was getting Ysabella back. He had confirmed that Teddy had nothing to do with the kidnapping. So he didn't hesitate to contact Karl.He asked him to utilize all the resources available to investigate the whereabouts of Ysabella. He was prepared to bear the consequences by himself.He regretted being so stubborn. He should've asked for Karl's help from the start. But he had wasted so much time. He also regretted his decision to leave the house last night. He should've stayed
"Alright, I'll make way for you two."A person ran in through the door as Ysabella said that. Tyrone's heart skipped a beat. His lungs were burning up from how much he was running. But he was so shocked that his breathing slowed down. "Tyrone!" Tara called out in surprise. She was about to run up to him. But then she took two steps back sheepishly. She didn't expect Tyrone to show up so soon. She knew she had done something bad. Tyrone didn't even look at Tara. His eyes were fixed on Ysabella. Her words kept echoing in his head. What was she going to make way for? What else could it be? Tyrone was well aware of Tara's feelings for him. What else would she want from Ysabella other than him? Nothing. But even though he knew what was going on. He didn't want to give up. He said shakily, "I'm here to bring you home, Ysabella."Ysabella scoffed to herself. Was she really allowed to go home now? She was kidnapped. She thought she was going to die. But Tyrone just casually said
At the Cleyton General Hospital, Tyrone and Ysabella were both there.There was much to be done at the office, but Ysabella was worried about leaving Tyrone alone with Tara. Tara was very straightforward. She admitted that she had feelings for Tyrone. That set off warning bells in her head. Tara had regained consciousness. There was a green ointment applied to her face. It was cool to the touch. Tara could feel the pain and swelling on her face dissipating. It was the special ointment that Karl brought. She had used it before as a kid and used to think it was Tyrone's magic. It would make her eyes light up in delight. The pleasant memories brought a smile to her face. "Tara, what are you thinking about that made you so happy?""Tyrone, Ysabella."Tara greeted them when she saw them entering. She nervously covered her swollen face with her hand. She knew her face must be ugly. It was swollen like a balloon. She didn't want Tyrone to see her like this. "Don't move," Tyrone
Teddy was an arrogant man, but the pressure from Tyrone was immense. He was able to take down half of his men alone. Teddy felt despair because Tyrone didn't even have a scratch on him.Teddy thought only someone like Reverend Maynard could overcome an opponent like Tyrone. He turned and asked his secretary, "How long until Reverend Maynard arrives?""Four days.""I can't wait any longer. Get him to come sooner. I can pay more."After giving it some thought, Teddy had an idea. He smiled slyly and said, "I'll raise the payment to 200 million dollars. Tell him to get here within two days. Also, send him a picture of Ysabella, the most beautiful woman in Cleyton.""Understood." The same devilish smile appeared on the secretary's face as he left."I'll show you what happens to people that challenge me, Tyrone. I'll destroy your reputation. You and everyone you care about will die!" Meanwhile, Tyrone had formulated another plan for Grinch. The sun was getting low, and Tyrone was
For a moment, it seemed like Ysabella and Tyrone's lives were back on track. The following day, Teddy went to the airport in a blue Bugatti Veyron to meet with Reverend Maynard, who was dressed in clerical robes. "Reverend Maynard, you're finally here!"Teddy would have gone for a hug if he didn't know better. He didn't sleep the entire night because he was thinking about getting revenge against Tyrone. But the good thing was that the schedule was carried forward. Reverend Maynard had arrived. He knew Reverend Maynard well. Although he was a priest, he never gave up alcohol or women. The 200 million dollars that Teddy offered Reverend Maynard didn't entice him to come. But as soon as he learned about Ysabella, he was on the next flight to Cleyton. Teddy looked on the bright side and thought Tyrone would surely die a gruesome death because Reverend Maynard was eager to accomplish this mission. Reverend Maynard was toying with a cryptic-looking cross as he sized Teddy up.
The directors shuddered in fear. Tyrone looked like a devil straight from the pits of hell. Tyrone had realized something was wrong with these people long ago. There had been too many coincidences. Only someone from the inside could have known where Ysabella had been headed. Besides, Ysabella's investigation would have undoubtedly had a negative impact on their interests. The directors quickly confessed to being the ones who hired the kidnappers. Yet when they tried to call the kidnappers, no one picked up."Mr. Hendrick, we really don't know what's going on. The kidnappers aren't listening to us anymore." The man who had spoken up was shivering like a leaf. Tyrone's eyes darkened. Based on the footage of Ysabella's kidnapping, he could tell the kidnappers were highly trained. These directors weren't capable of hiring people like them. Tyrone ignored them and walked out. These people would pay for their actions. …Tyrone drove to York Residence. Louisa was still sitting
This way, Ysabella stood a higher chance of being discovered. Yet the kidnappers found Ysabella's phone. They grabbed it and tossed it away immediately. "Get inside!" The kidnappers pushed Ysabella into a black sedan.Then, Ysabella's face was shoved into a black bag. She couldn't see anything, and her hands were bound. She took several deep breaths while telling herself to calm down. She shouldn't do anything reckless now, or she might get herself killed."She's hot!" exclaimed one of the kidnappers in a perverted way."Keep it in your pants. She's not someone you can lay your fingers on," warned another kidnapper."I'm just saying. Geez." Nonetheless, Ysabella could feel a pair of creepy eyes scanning her body. She could only endure it silently. The kidnappers drove steadily on the road. After a long while, they arrived at their destination.Ysabella was forcefully dragged out of the sedan. Her nose picked up the scent of nature and poop. She deduced that she must have
But when she heard that Horatio and the others were fine, Maisey breathed a sigh of relief. She couldn't help but glance at Ysabella, whose features were truly exquisite and naturally beautiful. Up close, Ysabella's skin was flawless.Even though Maisey had already met Eve, she couldn't deny that Ysabella was indeed very beautiful. In fact, she was so beautiful that even as a woman, Maisey couldn't help but feel a twinge of jealousy."I'm sorry about earlier," Maisey said, gently touching her belly, which still had a noticeable bump. It gave her a slight sense of reassurance.Ysabella smiled. "It's okay. While your baby is holding on, it's crucial not to get too worked up and to avoid any strenuous activities."The most important thing is to maintain a healthy and pleasant state of mind. Otherwise, there might be risks for your baby."Maisey nodded hurriedly. "I'll make sure to do that.""That's good. I've already saved my number on your phone. Feel free to reach out to me if y
Later on, Irvin got dressed and patted Maisey, who lay on the bed with her eyes tightly closed."Stop playing dead. Wake up," he said.However, Maisey didn't wake up, and a faint scent of blood lingered in the air.A sense of unease crept into Irvin's heart. He hurriedly lifted Maisey, but she had lost consciousness.In that moment, Irvin genuinely felt fear gripping his heart, as if something very important was slipping away from him. He carried Maisey and rushed out of the room.Jeremy ran up quickly and asked, "Mr. Irvin, what's—""Get lost!" Irvin shouted as he carried Maisey to the car. Without waiting for Jeremy, he raced to the hospital.Finally, he took Maisey to the emergency room. Irvin's hands trembled incessantly. Time passed by, but there was no sign of activity in the operating room.At that moment, a figure rushed out of the elevator. Without warning, Irvin took a punch to the face.Tyrone stood before him, radiating hostility. Irvin wiped the blood from his m
A black Rolls-Royce Phantom slowly came to a stop in front of the alley.Irvin gazed at the large willow tree at the entrance of the alley, his eyes gradually darkening.He had snuck in here with Ambrose when he was a child. He had been young at the time and had still been eager for what he thought was paternal love.He had attempted to understand why Ambrose liked Tyrone so much.However, after coming here, he hadn't found any answers. He had only observed Tyrone, Ambrose, and that woman from a distance. They had looked like a harmonious family of three.Irony, resentment, and discomfort surged in Irvin's veins.Since then, Irvin's yearning for Ambrose's paternal love had gradually subsided.This was the only way he could ensure minimal emotional harm to himself within this family. It also shaped Irvin's current indifferent personality.But everything changed when he met Maisey.She was money-minded, always seeking small advantages, and exuded a cunning charm from every fiber
Of course, the Vaughns dared not openly discuss these matters in the living room, considering there were so many household staff present.With many people around, there was a risk that the household staff might relay their words to Tyrone, and it would end up causing more harm than good.So they gathered in Marcella's room to discuss the matter.Except for Yelena, everyone was filled with resentment.Belinda furrowed her brow, conflicted. After all, Tyrone was her son-in-law. In a way, he represented her as well. She wasn't pleased with how Yakov spoke about Tyrone, but the latter had also ignored her earlier, which was a blow to her pride.Thinking about this, Belinda's expression turned sour.As everyone criticized Tyrone, she didn't say much."But in this way, how do we get the kid into the Hendricks Consortium?" Yanis asked with a furrowed brow.It was the Hendricks Consortium, after all. It was a symbol of wealth and power. If they could enter the Hendricks Consortium, t
At that moment, it was like a tiger encountering a mouse. Yakov couldn't help but feel afraid at the overwhelming dominance Tyrone exuded. Yakov's face changed repeatedly.Soon, Tyrone withdrew his gaze, and the oppressive air about him instantly disappeared.While Yakov breathed a sigh of relief, his expression turned quite unpleasant again. He couldn't believe that just Tyrone's gaze had frightened him so much.Tyrone didn't bother with Yakov. In his eyes, Yakov was like a mouse in a filthy drain. He wasn't worth his attention.The more Tyrone ignored Yakov, the more Yakov felt that Tyrone was looking down on him, fueling the anger inside him.For someone so self-centered, they couldn't see the good in others and couldn't hear advice. They lived in their own world, believing themselves to be the king of that world.Now that Tyrone had put his spoon down, Marcella followed suit too. The younger generation didn't dare to continue eating.Even though none of them had eaten their
"What's wrong, Mom? Let's eat," Tyrone chuckled.Deep down, Belinda was still somewhat afraid of Tyrone. After all, the ruthless methods Tyrone had displayed in her presence had left her with lingering fear.The seemingly amiable son-in-law in front of her didn't entirely match that cold persona."Sure, let's all sit down," Belinda hurriedly responded.Tyrone held Ysabella's hand and walked to the dining table. Observing the spread, aside from the tomato omelet that Ysabella enjoyed, the rest of the dishes were Yvan's favorites."Oh dear, Ysabella, I knew your favorite is tomato omelet, so I specially made a portion for you," Belinda said with a smile.Ysabella's eyes flickered slightly, looking at Belinda with surprise.Although it was only one dish she liked, Belinda had only ever paid attention to Yvan from the beginning. This was the first time Belinda had noticed what she enjoyed eating.Although there were ulterior motives behind this gathering, it didn't stop the emotion
At that moment, Ysabella's phone vibrated, signaling an incoming call. Although the caller ID didn't reveal the who the caller was, Ysabella knew the home number by heart.Seeing Ysabella's distressed expression, Tyrone looked at her phone and instantly understood the situation. "Let me take this," he offered, picking up Ysabella's phone.Since Louisa had forcefully taken Ysabella away, most of the latter's contact information had been either deactivated or altered. Hence, if Belinda to get her hands on Ysabella's current number, someone must have assisted her. It wasn't difficult to guess who that person might be.A cold smirk appeared on Tyrone's lips as he answered the call, "Hello, Mom."On the other end of the line, Belinda was momentarily taken aback. Hadn't she called Ysabella? Why was Tyrone answering?But none of this affected her good mood. "Oh, Tyrone, how come it's you who answered the phone? Where's Ysabella?""Ysabella went to the restroom, and I picked up when th
