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
Following closely behind Tyrone, that was the scene Cole saw when he went in.There were bodies everywhere. Other than the few employees that had acted as "hostages", it looked like everyone had all died together.Finally, Cole spotted Ysabella, whom he wasn't sure was dead or alive, and Tyrone, who looked desperate and helpless. The sight shocked him. "Quick, call an ambulance!"The calmest among them was Johnson, who cried out at the same time as Cole. The shouting sent everyone into motion, prompting them to get their phones out to make the call.They couldn't delay for even a second, considering how much blood Ysabella had lost!Cole went forward and said lowly, "Tyrone, we need to save her!""Right, we need to save her!" Tyrone pulled himself back to reality. "Does anyone have a first-aid kit?"The employees shook their heads. They had come over for a meal, so none of them brought something like that."Me! I have one!"The manager of the restaurant crawled out of a corn
Tyrone had arrived on the roof. Behind him were Grinch and some others. When Hammer Head recognized who had come, his eyes widened drastically. He still remembered with sharp clarity what had happened at the restaurant. He had even been scared awake in his dreams. He'd dreamed that Tyrone was holding a dagger and stabbed it into his throat.His retribution had come."Tyrone …" Sam thought that he'd heard Tyrone wrongly. He went over to Tyrone and said, "These guys are very stubborn. None of our threats are working … Why don't we use another method?"Tyrone ignored Sam. His eyes were fixed on Hammer Head as he walked over. As he did, he took the dagger from Sam's hand.Hammer Head gulped. Tyrone's gaze was simply terrifying. He looked like a lion that had spotted its prey."Who sent you?""I don't know what you're talking about." He said the same thing he'd been saying to Sam all this while.Steve gave a cold huff beside him. Although his hands were tied up over his head with
Not a local. This was important information. At the very least, it allowed Tyrone to disqualify many people from his suspicions.Since he had chosen this path, Tyrone knew that he would offend many people. However, there were very few in the city who had ties overseas and were more skilled than Leopard in combat. Tyrone had pretty much already gotten all of these people on his side."Sir, could it be Teddy?" Grinch seemed to have some thoughts about this.He still hadn't gotten over the fact that Tyrone had "released" Teddy. When Grinch chatted with Tyrone, Tyrone had said before that he thought Teddy and Joe had similar personalities. With the chance to do so, they would always make a comeback.Tyrone didn't answer. This was a possibility that couldn't be ignored. However, something told him that it wasn't Teddy.Back then, Tyrone had let Teddy go even when he knew that Teddy would come back for revenge. He wasn't being soft or merciful by doing it. Rather, he thought that Teddy
Marcel's expression was cold and grim, but he quickly softened."It's nothing. We've probably become distant because of how long it's been since we've seen each other.""Liar! You two got along just fine last time! You were drinking and joking with each other! And you said something about Ysabella before, too. What happened?"Seeing that he couldn't hide things anymore, Marcel sighed and said. "I can't blame Ty for punching me. Ysabella was bullied by some bad people. It coincided with me being in Cleyton, so Tyrone thought I did it!""What happened to Ysabella?""I'm not too sure. Tara, be reasonable. Even if it involves the fight for control of the Hendrick family, do you think I would do something so despicable?""I–I don't know." Tara's thoughts were in a mess.She was only being nice to Marcel because she thought she could help rebuild their brotherly relationship. She wanted them to get along. She never expected that something like this would happen. But even if it were
The situation was skewed heavily to one side.Marcel was at ease and acted like someone who wasn't even involved. He taunted, "Ty, do you really still think you have a chance?"Then, he said, "Scorpion, stop messing around! Show little Ty some effort!"After Marcel said that, Scorpion suddenly attacked more vigorously, with both fists shooting out. If he hit a wall, there would surely be two new holes in that wall.Tyrone jumped backward lightly, avoiding the killing blow. The paved floor was further destroyed.Scorpion was just as sprightly as a scorpion as he attacked repeatedly with his fists. Although his attacks weren't as powerful now since he didn't have the time to regain his strength, his hits came so quickly that they were still formidable.Even though Tyrone was skilled, he couldn't avoid the attacks forever.Tyrone cried out.But there was no changing the fact that Tyrone couldn't escape the hit. He watched as Scorpion's fist landed on him, and he spat out a huge mo
The situation was a little awkward. For a moment, Tyrone actually didn't know what to say. His initial intention was to use this unused recording pen and Karl's influence to blackmail Marcel into telling him the truth. But now it seemed that the plan wasn't going to work out.As he thought about how to deal with Karl's incoming questioning and Marcel's counterattack, a sigh came through the video call."It seems I'm really getting old, and my eyesight isn't so good. I'll have to go over personally to see if this recording pen is legitimate or not!"These words pulled Tyrone back from the edge of hopelessness. He didn't doubt Karl's skill in telling the legitimacy of the recording pen. But if Karl was willing to come, that meant that he took the matter seriously.As long as Karl came over, Tyrone wasn't worried about Marcel causing trouble."Alright! When you get here, I'll treat you to the best wine Cleyton has!"Even Tyrone felt bad as he said this. After all, Karl had been
"How dare you insult me?" Wasp's expression was deeply displeased. No one had ever been so rude to him before. But although the words were vicious, they also came as a surprise to him.It was shocking that Tyrone could say something so demotivating yet still have his men follow him unwaveringly. If Wasp didn't deal with Tyrone, then Marcel's position would be at risk."Scorpion, attack them. Kill them all.""Wasp, we only need to get the recording pen. There's no need to hurt anyone.""The recording pen? What's the point of getting something so useless? Isn't it less troublesome to kill them all? Scorpion, are you having doubts about who to stay loyal to? Are you going to disobey Mr. Marcel?"Scorpion was deep in thought. Finally, he clenched his fists. Since he had chosen Marcel's side, he would have to follow Marcel's orders. Besides, Tyrone didn't have many men with him, so he didn't have a chance of winning at all. He also had no influence among the other contenders in the
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
