Aloysius felt a chill run down his spine. He was no stranger to dangerous situations as he had built his business from the ground up. However, compared to the internal feud between these three Hendrick brothers, he had never felt this insignificant. It was like he was a bug ready to be squashed.The tension rose."Guilty? Of what? This is your territory. He's your man. You have the gun. What does Aloysius have anything to do with me? He knows about our family now. You might as well dispose of him," Tyrone said in a carefree tone.Aloysius was infuriated. He thrashed violently to get closer to Tyrone. He bellowed, "You're a piece of trash from a small town. You don't get to decide if I live or die. I should have strangled you to avenge my son!"Irvin was surprised. He had assumed Tyrone colluded with Aloysius, but it did not seem so. Maybe Tyrone and Aloysius were acting. Unsure of what to do, Irvin looked at Elijah. He nodded in response. Irvin grinned and gestured to becko
"You think I'm dumb enough to let you go? Among all our brothers and sisters, you pose the greatest threat. Others are either content with a simple life or too afraid to look me in the eyes. Now that you're here, I should get rid of you for good."As your brother, I might not be allowed to kill you. But once I become the head of the family …" Elijah sniggered. "You won't be able to protect Ysabella for long."The winner couldn't be any more obvious. Irvin grinned, too. "Elijah, you've said many times how beautiful Ysabella is. I can't wait to see her."As soon as Irvin finished his sentence, Tyrone dashed forward and slammed him to the ground by his neck."Say that again." That was Tyrone's greatest peeve.Irvin shouted, "Elijah, look! Tyrone has gone crazy. He wants to kill me. Get your men here and stop him."Elijah didn't entertain Irvin. He gazed at Tyrone intensely, sensing the murderous intent behind his eyes."Tyrone, kill Irvin here, and you're done for.""I won't kill
Time ground to a halt. Tarzan lowered his eyes and shot a disappointed look at Tyrone, who was shorter than he was. Tarzan had thought he'd found himself a worthy opponent, and it would be a thrilling match. To his dismay, Tyrone's punch was soft and weak.Irvin and Elijah weren't surprised. Tyrone was no match for Tarzan. It had always been a one-sided fight, and Tyrone would get beaten.Suddenly, to everyone's surprise, Tyrone grinned. He condensed all his energy into his middle finger and did a small flick.A loud explosion echoed through the building. Tarzan was hurled backward like a bowling ball, knocking out the Ironsteel Army behind him. His body fell to the ground seconds later. Elite fighters like them were powerless against this force."How can this be?" Irvin refused to believe that Tarzan had been knocked out. He walked to the corridor and looked at the fallen masses. Irvin gulped. If Tyrone had done that to him, his body would have been perforated.Elijah could
Grinch sensed the sudden coming force and whirled around, ready to fight. His open palm met his opponent's. Grinch felt a great wave of power and almost stumbled backward. But he held on and threw out his other palm. Elijah wasn't afraid of Grinch at all. He returned the attack with his own palm.The collision was extraordinary. Grinch was at a severe disadvantage. Elijah's strike forced him to take several steps backward, and it was only because Tyrone helped him that he didn't fall and hurt himself internally."What an oppressive strength! Who is he?" Grinch said in shock."I told you long before that he's from my family. He's my eldest brother," Tyrone replied impatiently. Even he would not get into a fight with Elijah for nothing. He was shocked that Grinch dared to make a move."Little Ty, you should fight." Elijah hooked a finger, wanting to exchange a few moves with Tyrone.What happened today was far out of his expectations. He needed to get into this fight himself and
Overseas, on a private island owned by the Hendrick family."You're saying that Elijah and Irvin worked together but failed to beat Tyrone, who only showed his face recently?" Ambrose, Tyrone's father and head of the Hendrick family, said with his eyes closed as he lay on his chair. He seemed completely unmoved by Karl's report."That's right," Karl replied, feeling quite emotional.In reality, he hadn't done anything in this incident. He had only followed Ambrose's orders and cleared the path to Cleyton and Rogbow.Ambrose didn't respond.Seizing the opportunity, Karl said, "It seems that the position of heir belongs to none other than Mr. Tyrone."Karl had searched for the family's heir for two generations. He had always put his hopes in Tyrone, even though he'd started late and had been targeted by his siblings even before establishing a foundation of his own."That may yet be so." As before, Ambrose didn't even bother looking up as he spoke leisurely. "Zack has left Vloton."
"Is this how you negotiate with me?" Zack's tone held a playful note. "I'll do it if you get on your knees and beg."Tyrone's footsteps paused. His gaze was sharp as a knife as he looked at the laughing Zack.More muffled cries came from Ysabella. She was shaking her head with all her might. Tyrone had already done a lot for her, but all he got in return was disdain and taunting. She had said before that she would not let Tyrone suffer any injustice for her again. She would certainly not let him get on his knees for her!There were twin thumps as Tyrone got down on his knees without any hesitation."Let her go. I can give you anything you want, even if it's my life!"Zack burst into laughter. "Oh, little Ty. I really don't know how you could have survived going even one round with Elijah when you're so powerless." Zack looked down from the roof and added, "Is it because of your Sky High team downstairs?"Looking from way up high, Zack was still able to see the members of the Sk
The tension was immeasurably thick. Ambrose stayed outside smoking, not saying a word.Tyrone was unspeakably dejected. How he had hoped Zack's "I'm only joking with you!" had been true. But it was impossible."I don't like it here."They were on a private island overseas. When he looked out the window, Tyrone could remember bits of it.The heirs of the family rarely came here. They were without familial love and spent their time unendingly learning and growing their capabilities to fight for the day they would become a pillar of the family. In a second, the room filled with voices. It was an act of great rudeness to say such a thing in the Hendrick family. Everyone turned to look at Ambrose outside, waiting for his verdict."Your attitude is like your mother's, too. She's also said these words." Ambrose remained with his back to the room, watching the seabirds flying in the sky over the coast. He continued, "Let's not talk about the past anymore. "Since you don't like it
"Tyrone, this is the furthest I can take you. You know, toward you, the family …" Karl hesitated. He decided to clear things up before leaving. "Actually, Mr. Hendrick Senior only kicked you out of the family because he loves you. He knows you prefer freedom and want to be free from the family's bonds."He sympathizes with your situation. I heard, on the night you were in trouble, he couldn't sleep all night. Elijah and Irvin both lost the right to inherit, but Zack and Marcel were kicked out of the family. They've been locked in the family dungeon."The most terrifying place the family had was its dungeon. Once anyone was locked in there, they would never again see the sun. It seemed Ambrose really did take this situation seriously."Karl, we'll never get to see each other again?""That's right, Tyrone."It didn't matter if Tyrone was dead or alive, healthy or sick. They would never see each other again.Tyrone turned his back on the helicopter. He didn't turn around or say an
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
