The slapping only ceased after Wallace passed out from the ordeal.

Elijah got up from his seat with his wine glass in hand and gave a toast, "Sorry for the small hiccup. Please accept my apology."

Then, he chugged his glass.

"Please, Mr. Hendrick, you're too courteous."

"That's what you get for speaking out of turn."

"Let's continue drinking."

Wallace's blight didn't affect the festive mood. In fact, Elijah was cheered for his generosity.

The small hiccup only made everyone more interested in Tyrone's identity. But since Elijah didn't bother introducing him to them, no one dared to bring it up.

Meanwhile, Tyrone was feeling completely at home. He liked the wine at Imperion Hotel, so he had a few glasses.

Elijah, noticing that Tyrone was drowning his sorrow away, came to Tyrone and said, "Tyrone, I'm happy for our reunion. But binge drinking isn't the way to celebrate this occasion.

"I'll gather all our other siblings in a few days. You can drink to your heart's content then

    Tyrone's greasy lips only irritated Elijah further. Inside the family's stiff competition, someone indulgent was destined to lose. While Elijah had been talking to Karl, he had noticed that Tyrone had been busy eating food. Tyrone's lack of discipline even made Elijah forget why he had held this banquet in the first place."Tyrone, we were talking about you.""Me?" Tyrone looked around nonchalantly. His eyebrows perked up when he saw Harmony, who was glaring at him.He hadn't called Harmony, and now he was seated closer to Elijah. Maybe Harmony thought that he was looking down at her. Either way, he didn't like Harmony that much, so he didn't feel the need to clear things up. He turned back to his table and saw that Elijah had filled his wine glass for him.Karl didn't want Tyrone to drink that much. But Elijah had other ideas."Tyrone, I apologize for not being a great host when you're here in Stillmond. Come, drink this. Let me show you around the next few days, alright?"

    Elijah's lips curled into a wide grin. He relished the sight of his prey struggling vainly against its impending doom."Tyrone, among the siblings, I will emerge victorious. I don't even need to invoke the power of the family brooch. However, I don't mind testing it out."All Elijah had to do was break the brooch, and it would immediately take effect. Karl felt hopeless. If he had known that Elijah possessed the family brooch, he would have done everything he could to stop Tyrone from coming to Stillmond. The glimmer of hope Karl had held on to dimmed. Elijah cackled loudly, celebrating his victory.Suddenly, the door to the banquet hall flung open. "Elijah, what is the grand occasion?"Karl looked up and saw a dreadful sight. It was Serena. Elijah was strong enough to eliminate Tyrone. Now, Serena was here too, to make matters worse. Serena's face was vaguely familiar to Tyrone. When he had been younger, Elijah and Serena had already been old enough to establish their own

    In Serena's eyes, Tyrone hadn't changed a bit. While all the other siblings would claw open their Christmas gifts eagerly, Tyrone would be sitting by the side, reading a book that was difficult for an adult. However, she was also as tough as nails. She had come here to take Tyrone away, and she wouldn't leave without him.Elijah barked, "Tyrone, I advise you to think twice. I invited you to stay in Stillmond, but you insist on leaving. "Is Stillmond that bad compared to your home? If so, why did you come to Stillmond in the first place?"Stillmond wasn't a playground where Tyrone could come and go as he wished. If it had been anyone else, Elijah would have beat him to a pulp."Elijah, you want to keep me here so that your forces have time to clean up my men in Taupaz. But I don't want any part in this sibling rivalry. I'm above what you're after."Every word coming out of Tyrone's mouth grated against Elijah's ears. What was he after? Everyone could tell that Tyrone was bidin

    Elijah was sure that Tyrone would contact his men once he left the banquet hall. Once Elijah made the call, Tyrone would come back, begging for mercy. Everyone waited with bated breath for Elijah to make the call. Harmony, however, was trying to make sense of Tyrone. On the plane, Tyrone hadn't even been able to win an argument against two thugs. But here in Stillmond, he had openly provoked Elijah. If she hadn't been so rude to Tyrone on the plane, would they have been friends by now? She knew that she could never break into Elijah's social circle, but Tyrone gave her a glimmer of hope.Hence, while everyone was busy gawking at Elijah, Harmony left the hall too.Elijah's call was quickly picked up. "M—Mr. Hendrick," an anxious voice sounded from the other end of the line."Is Taupaz mine yet?" Elijah was as confident as ever. Everything had already been set up. After the call, he would take his private jet to Taupaz to welcome Tyrone."There's been a problem, Mr. Hendrick.

    Serena got a jerked in surprise and dropped her phone. "Elijah, what was that? You freaked me out."She was concerned about herself and Tyrone's safety. Without anyone by Tyrone's side, Winston Street would be a death trap for him. Serena wasn't sure if she could be of any help, even if she called George. Now that Elijah had come to ruin her plan, the situation was even more grim.Elijah shrugged and said nothing. To him, Serena had never been a threat. But he didn't want to sour his relationship with her because of Tyrone. Once Serena's, Aiden's, and Joshua's companies were big enough, he would acquire all of them forcefully, killing three birds with one stone.Meanwhile, it was so loud on Wintson Street that one could barely hear the person next to him. Suddenly, a car barged in. Everyone stopped whatever they were doing and looked at the vehicle.Who dared to come to Winston Street without permission?Chuck gripped the steering wheel with shaking hands. Everyone around hi

  • Making a Comeback   Chapter 224 Why Are You Arresting Me

    "Florius Bridge?" Elijah was intrigued.Why was Tyrone in a secluded part of the city? Shouldn't he be stuck on Winston Street? Suddenly, all the dots connected in Elijah's mind. "Oh, Tyrone. Of course, you can get out of Winston Street."Elijah asked his underlings to verify further. They were told that a reckless driver had entered and left Winston Street. Elijah traced it further and managed to identify Tyrone's escape route.Serena then remarked next to Elijah, "Tyrone is full of surprises, isn't he? I have never met anyone who managed to flee under your nose. If you ever catch him, you'll need to keep him supervised 24/7."She had been just as surprised when she had heard that Tyrone had gotten out of Winston Street unscathed. Somehow, she had faith in Tyrone. She knew that once he escaped, Elijah might not be able to catch him again."Why did you help Tyrone escape, Serena? What's in it for you?""Who knows?""He still has to board a plane, mind you."Serena gazed a

    Tyrone couldn't care less whether Felix got punished by Elijah or not. Looking at the fluffy clouds and the sunny weather, Tyrone let his emotions simmer down. His ordeal in Stillmond had made him realize how powerless he was in the family. When facing Elijah, running was all he could do.Two of Elijah's men had been planted inside the cabin. They had been instructed to comb through the passengers, just like Elijah had done when Ysabella had flown to Taupaz. Using going to the toilet as a pretext, they checked the faces of everyone onboard.They saw Tyrone, of course. Before they could approach him to take a double look at his face, he got up and went to the toilet before them.Elijah's men didn't expect that to happen. But they were sure that the guy they saw was Tyrone."Uhm … Are you using the lavatory next?" Tyrone turned around and asked Elijah's men before opening the lavatory's door."Y-Yeah!"Elijah's men could confirm that they found Tyrone on the plane. Right

    Ysabella felt something inside Tyrone's pocket was poking at her thigh. She slid her hand into Tyrone's pocket to get rid of it. Tyrone finally realized that it wouldn't end very well, but it was too late to stop Ysabella.Inside Tyrone's pocket was a name card. It was nothing out of the ordinary, but Ysabella's expression darkened."Westbound Airline Cabin Crew, Giselle? Explain this, Tyrone," Ysabella confronted loudly.Teddy and Bulldozer were both surprised by Ysabella's tone. Moments ago, Ysabella and Tyrone were having a touching reunion. And things took a turn for the worse within seconds. Everyone looked at the name card Ysabella was holding. If they heard it correctly, it belonged to an air stewardess.On the plane, Tyrone kept Giselle's card because he didn't want to make her look bad. Besides, if he left Giselle's name card on the plane, everyone would fight for it. It would create unnecessary trouble for Giselle. However, Tyrone regretted his act of kindness. He should

    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
