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.
"Take a look."Tyrone turned on the screen and showed it to Ysabella. "How could my phone not have a signal?"Ysabella was confused. Swallow's Nest was a very fancy hotel. It was the go-to place for business meetings. It should be impossible to have no signal here. No one would come here for meetings if that were the case. She gave Tyrone a confused look. Tyrone explained, "It's simple. Someone with ulterior motives installed a jamming device in the restaurant." Ysabella was shocked. She believed Tyrone because she felt something was wrong when she entered the restaurant. The feeling only intensified when she entered the room."What's going on here, Mr. Morris?" Ysabella questioned Reverend Maynard. "Ysabella, I don't think that's Mr. Morris. He should be Reverend Maynard.""Reverend Maynard?" Ysabella was confused. Reverend Maynard laughed loudly. He thought things were getting interesting. Someone dared to stand between him and the woman he had his eyes on. "You're
"Spill it! Your underworld empire, the companies you control, tell me everything. Your resources are the only reason why you're still alive. But you've crossed the line with me. Your money and power are inconsequential to me now. So, your life is also useless to me."Tyrone looked at the two men sprawled on the floor coldly. He took out his phone and contacted Aurelius, telling him to send people over to take care of Reverend Maynard. He also asked Aurelius to take Teddy and deal with him however he saw fit. When he heard that Tyrone would get Aurelius to punish him, Reverend Maynard quickly got up from the floor and crawled toward Tyrone on his knees. He begged, "Sir, please let me off this once!""Look at me. I've already been beaten to a pulp by you. I can't possibly take my teacher's punishment, too. You know him, too, so you probably know how harsh his punishments are. I'd probably be dead if you handed me over to him."Tyrone ignored him and tapped his fingers on the table
In the following days, Tyrone began to organize his spoils of war gained from Teddy. A lot of resources were idle after he received them. Emerson and Grinch led the efforts to dissolve and merge companies and criminal groups. They were enjoying themselves. As for Teddy, it was as if he disappeared into thin air. He didn't even return to his main base, the Aurora Tower. The employees of the tower were bewildered. They didn't know what had happened or why Leopard and Sam were taking over. Most of the upper management were upset about it. One of them came forward and yelled, "Leopard, Sam! What is the meaning of this? Our boss isn't here right now. Why have you brought so many people here?""Fern, you've worked for Teddy for so many years. I don't need to tell you what's going on, right?"Leopard wasn't intimidated by the hundred over men before him. He smirked and said, "Teddy is no longer your boss!"Fern was taken aback. The shock was apparent on his face. He hadn't been able
Things were also going great for Sky High Group. The company has successfully opened up the market in Cleyton. Its products were sold through many different channels. The company's profits were growing. But Ysabella's pressure grew a lot instead of lessening. Luckily, the amount of work she had varied. Sometimes, she'll have nothing to do, too. "Tyrone, do you have time this afternoon?""What's up, honey?"Tyrone was planning something with Grinch at Tergot Tech. He gestured for everyone to pause as he took his phone to a corner to speak with Ysabella. Since leaving Vania's house, Ysabella and Vania sometimes visited him at Tergot Tech for lunch. He had learned from his mistakes. He was wary of a sudden inspection. "It's nothing much. It's the weekend, and Yasmine wants to come home. I just wanted to ask if you can pick her up with me. It's fine if you're busy with work."Ysabella recalled how Tyrone could barely cope with his duties as a security guard. It was then she lear
Tyrone rolled the car window back up and exited the car. He looked at Howard and his company. He pretended to smile and apologized, "Sirs, I think there must be some misunderstanding. Why don't we find someplace to have a couple of drinks? I'm sure we can talk it out over a few drinks.""There isn't a fucking misunderstanding!"Howard was about to throw a fit but felt like he had lost control of his body when Tyrone glared at him. He couldn't seem to bring his raised hand down. The glare Tyrone gave him was terrifying. It was like a demon was staring at him. He felt like he would have been burned into ashes if he made a move. The three other hooligans were also intimidated. Before they realized it, the smile had faded from Tyrone's face. He leaned in and whispered to Howard, "Follow me if you don't want anything bad to happen to you."He gestured toward the car that everything was fine. Afterward, he patted Howard on the back and walked toward an alleyway a short distance from t
The four guys in the alleyway were surprised. Their eyes widened as they saw a woman comparable to Yasmine's beauty standing at the end of the alleyway and looking at them. Howard was mesmerized by Ysabella. He didn't even feel the pain anymore. It was like time had stopped for a moment. Another person appeared behind Ysabella. Howard's face fell. Tyrone had returned. "I told you, they were very easy to talk with. Let's go. There's nothing to see here."Ysabella felt something was wrong but knew it was best not to stay around someone like Howard for too long. She left with Tyrone before she could overthink it. He also brought Yasmine, who was halfway to the alleyway and in disbelief, back to the car and drove off.Howard got out of the alleyway and watched as Tyrone drove away. His desire for revenge grew stronger. He knew he would regret it for the rest of his life if he didn't get to have his way with such a beautiful woman. At the very least, he could offer her to his
Everyone was stunned. Howard was the first to laugh. He wondered if he had stumbled into an idiot. He'd even signed his own death warrant!"Everyone heard it, right? He's looking for Mariposa! He should look at himself in the mirror before saying shit like that. Does someone like him have any right to see Mariposa?"Howard was the best at such things as kissing ass and causing trouble, so he kept talking. "When I got here, I saw him come out of a shitty Volkswagen. Some people really have empty wallets and empty brains!"Laughter tinkled through the bar. Some people were very upset by this whole thing and automatically went to get the bar's staff.The person who came was a bartender.This bartender had long heard the commotion. He assumed that it was just some rich kids playing too hard, so he ignored it. He only came over because someone went to get him, saying that someone desired Mariposa so much he was trying to sneak backstage. That made him drop all his work and run over.
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
