Ysabella quickly stepped in and pulled Tyrone away from Ashton. She stood between them and asked, "Who gave you the right to beat him up?"She was disappointed. Her opinion of Tyrone had improved after the birthday, but now she felt like he would always be the same useless man. The goodwill she had for him was gone. "Honey, he was insulting you. I couldn't let him get away with that.""That's not a reason for assaulting another person. Besides, I'm the owner of the company. His words would never hurt me. You didn't have to hit him. If everyone in the company disliked me, would you beat everyone up?"Ysabella didn't believe that Ashton would speak ill of her. His exceptional capabilities and overall professionalism were there for all to see. Ysabella thought Tyrone was just trying to shift the blame for his actions. She felt disappointed that he got cocky just because she started to treat him slightly better. "Honey, I wasn't …"Ysabella didn't want to listen to Tyrone's unc
Tyrone did as he was told and let go of Aston. But Ashton wasn't ready for the sudden loss of support and fell to the ground hard. He felt like his body was going to break into pieces. "How dare you drop me like that?""Weren't you the one that asked me to let go?""What the fuc—"Ashton fell silent when he met Tyrone's chilling gaze. "The hospital is over there. You can walk there by yourself."Ashton didn't want to obey Tyrone, but he was too afraid of Tyrone to defy him. He dared not ask Tyrone to carry him again. Ashton limped away and said, "I'll get you next time."After ten minutes, Tyrone brought Ashton to the best general surgeon in the hospital. Ashton felt relieved because he actually recognized the doctor. The doctor was a renowned medical professional even in Shoredale. "Dr. Patton!" Ashton greeted the doctor. The doctor acted as if he didn't hear Ashton and ignored him. "Dr. Patton, my father is the chairman of Prospera Enterprise, Vance Pullman. He had s
The next day. Tyrone woke up early in the morning. He sat in an unassuming cafe at 7 am. Johnson arrived soon after Tyrone sat down. He didn't dare to be tardy since Cole called him personally. He looked around the cafe, but he didn't see Cole anywhere. Instead, he saw a man with an elegant temperament but sloppily dressed, sitting at table seven where Cole had told him to meet at. "Sir, this table is reserved. Do you mind sitting somewhere else? I'll pay for your coffee as thanks."Johnson was very polite. Tyrone put down his cup and took a closer look at him.Johnson was in formal wear. He had a neatly folded pocket square in his chest pocket with one edge showing. His impeccable wardrobe reflected his serious and meticulous attitude. Tyrone was satisfied with Johnson the moment he laid eyes on him. "Mr. Lowry, I don't know if Mr. Bennet told you, but I'm the one you're supposed to meet with."Johnson's expression fell. He didn't know where Tyrone got his intel about thi
Johnson spent several minutes in thought. He finished a cup of coffee in a few gulps, and Tyrone called a waiter to refill it. "If I join Sky High Group, wouldn't that leave Prospera Enterprise without a planning director? What would happen to them?"Johnson's conscience wouldn't allow him to forsake Prospera Enterprise and leave the company for dead. "That's easy." Tyrone smirked at the thought of it. Johnson had been convinced to join Sky High Group, and he would not let him back out so easily. "After you come over, we'll send our current planning director back to Prospera Enterprise. Everything will work out."Johnson was taken aback. He knew that Ashton was Sky High Group's current planning director. He also knew that Ashton had no skills whatsoever. "Ashton is part of Prospera Enterprise, to begin with. And you have been helping Sky High Group all this time. There's nothing wrong with this exchange. You can even continue providing proposals and ideas for Ashton after h
In an executive meeting at Prospera Enterprise."Is everyone here?" Vance asked. He was the chairman of the company, and he sat at the head of the table. Everyone at the table looked around and talked among themselves for a while. Then someone raised their hand and said, "Mr. Lowry isn't here yet, Mr. Pullman."Johnson's defining characteristic was his meticulousness. Usually, it was impossible for him to show up late. Tyrone being able to convince him to work for Sky High Group was extremely irregular. Vance didn't mind if Johnson was absent. If it was anybody else, they would be reprimanded. But Vance was sure there was a good reason for Johnson's absence. Even if Johnson just overslept, it was fine as well."Let's proceed with the meeting without Mr. Lowry."The future strategies of the company were discussed in the meeting. Many of Johnson's proposals were the key to deciding the company's direction and future. Vance intentionally left those topics to the end of the meeti
"Cole Bennet, you fucker! Why would you sabotage me like this? I've never done anything to you. But since it's come to this, don't blame me for whatever happens next!"Vance was like a live volcano on the verge of eruption. His company was hanging by a thread. He wasn't planning on playing by the rules. He wanted to bring Slycon Group down with him. He slammed his fist down on the table. The coffee cup rattled from the blow. As for the 50 million dollars he promised Reid, he had no intention of paying him. He hung up on Reid's incoming calls and blocked his number. His company was on the verge of collapse. He no longer cared about offending other people, much less some crook who didn't even want to work for him.Vance never fought battles that he didn't think he could win. He dared to challenge companies much bigger than his own because someone backed him. He made up his mind and made a call."Fancy you calling, Mr. Pullman.""Mr. Gunner, it's an emergency. I'll get straigh
"Hi, Tyrone.""How's the thing I asked you to do going?"Many company employees saw Cole secretly meeting up with a young man. They couldn't tell how important the young man was, but they could guess he was a big deal from Cole's subservient attitude. Some of them wondered why a man like Tyrone could lord over Cole. He didn't have a demanding presence, and he wore simple clothes. "Yes, it's all done. My friend is a reliable and trustworthy person. He currently has Prospera Enterprise in a stranglehold." "Alright, good job. From now on, Prospera Enterprise is your friend's property. What about you? What reward do you want?"Cole's hand trembled, and he spilled coffee from his cup. "Tyrone, I don't need any compensation. It's my honor to be able to assist you." Cole said respectfully. When Gunner heard what was happening, he made fun of Cole and told him he was being used. He retorted angrily back then. Even if that was the case, he didn't mind being used by Tyrone. He deeme
Hammer Head's eyes shifted in thought. He didn't expect a beautiful woman like Ysabella to be the owner of a company. He figured she must be rich since she could bring that many people to dinner at a fancy restaurant. If he could have his way with her and threaten her, wouldn't he be able to have the pretty woman and her money?Steve didn't know what Hammer Head was thinking. He said coldly, "Lady, are you stupid or horny? Can't you see that there are so many of us here? One woman can't possibly satisfy all of us." The other hooligans laughed in unison. "Steve.""Yes, boss?"Hammer Head suddenly slapped Steve on his head and said, "You have to be polite when speaking to a lady." He turned to face Ysabella and said, "I hope he didn't scare you, pretty lady." "N—No …"Ysabella was scared to her wits' end. She didn't expect Hammer Head to hit his subordinate. "That's good. I agree to your request. Steve, stay here and keep them company. We'll go for karaoke after I have a
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
