"He's certainly not. When I saved him, I really didn't expect him to be such a formidable person. Honey, you don't know how wretched a state he was in back then." Though Tyrone seemed pleased, he felt nervous inside.He knew that his wife wasn't so easily tricked.Right then, Horatio knocked on the door, and Tyrone hurried to open it for him."Mr. and Mrs. Hendrick, I wonder if you're happy with the room?" Horatio asked smilingly."It's alright. Thank you, Mr. Goldman," Tyrone said."That's good.""But Mr. Goldman, you're spending so much on us," Ysabella said. Although she didn't know exactly how much it cost to stay here, this was Shoredale's best hotel. Surely, it was at least ten thousand dollars a night."You're wrong there, Mrs. Hendrick. If it weren't for Mr. Hendrick back then, I may not be standing here talking to you now. I think my life is worth more than this amount I'm spending."Since Horatio was saying that, Ysabella couldn't say much more. It seemed that things
"Are you really my sister? How could you stand on someone else's side? Let's see who you go to for help when Tyrone cheats on you.""What are you talking about? Tyrone would never dare!" Belinda patted Yvan in consternation.Yvan huffed but sat back down. He wanted to stay a few extra days in such a lavish hotel. Then, he could boast about it to his friends later."Ysabella, don't take what your brother said to heart. You know him. He can't control what comes out of his mouth. If Tyrone really has the guts to cheat on you, I'd break his legs," Belinda said."If there's nothing else, I'm leaving.""Oh, alright. Go and have some rest."After leaving, Ysabella's expression eased. It seemed she had taken Yvan's words to heart. She knew that Tyrone loved her and would never be unfaithful. However, she always got the feeling that he was hiding a lot from her. This made her feel very discomfited.At the same time, at Shoredale Memorial Hospital.The old man Tyrone saved that morning h
Although Yannick's favorite was actually pork ribs, and chicken wings were Yanis' favorite, Yannick still felt uncontrollable joy."Thank you, Mom.""Silly child. I'm your mother. You don't need to thank me." Marcella showed a rare maternal side of her.Tyrone lowered his head and minded his own business as he started in on his meal. Occasionally, he would put some food on Ysabella's plate.Yelena regarded Tyrone curiously from where she sat opposite him. Although she didn't showcase much contempt for him, she never held any respect for him either.However, the fact that Tyrone knew someone as important as Horatio Goldman had surprised her. "What is it, Yelena? Interested in this useless piece of trash?" Yakov asked, his gaze icy.Yelena's pretty face went red in an instant. "What are you talking about, Yakov?""Yakov, don't spout nonsense." Sonia sneaked a look at Tyrone. She had to admit that he was somewhat handsome. At the very least, with his face and physique, he could b
Before Yannick got out of the car, the butler reminded him, saying, "Don't forget about the partnership, Mr. Yannick."Yannick's face froze. It was only then that he recalled there was such a thing. He honestly didn't have the kind of clout to accomplish this task. Thus, he could only muddle out, "Alright, I got it."After the butler left, Yannick hurriedly said to Tyrone, "Tyrone, please help me talk to Sir Goldman about this.""What are you talking about, Dad?" Ysabella's pretty face was filled with astonishment."What's this attitude, Ysabella? Can't I just ask? If he can't, then it's fine." Yannick immediately backed down upon seeing Ysabella mad."Sorry, Dad. It would be impolite of us to ask for something so unreasonable. After all, Mr. Goldman has already gifted me an expensive emerald and let all of us live at such a fancy hotel for free," Tyrone said."That might not be so. Don't forget you saved his life.""We must know our limits. If we really offend Sir Goldman, we m
Tyrone easily intercepted the pillow. He bowed exaggeratedly and said, "Your wish is my command."Ysabella couldn't help but smile.Early the next morning, Horatio invited Tyrone and the others to join him at a special event the hotel held on the third floor. It was a game of gambling on raw emeralds. Here, there were no worries of being cheated. After all, with Horatio there, no one dared to pull any tricks.After what happened yesterday, Yvan and Yannick were both a little scared of Horatio. However, they really wanted to attend this event.They had long before heard of this game, which the rich elites played. If one were lucky, one could get rich overnight. If one were unlucky, one might lose all their money."Honey, do you want to go?" Tyrone asked.Ysabella wasn't much interested in this, but Horatio said, "Many of Shoredale's businessmen are attending. Though you work in Cleyton, some of your operations must have something to do with Shoredale, Mrs. Hendrick."Horatio was
"Alright, if you're gambling on raw emeralds, then I want to see this punk lose all his money." Tiana knew quite a bit about Tyrone. She knew that he had married into the Vaughn family, which was why she derided him so much.Belinda was still caught up with the idea of all that money being offered to Tyrone. That was 11 million dollars in total, not 11 hundred dollars. How could Tyrone not want it? No matter how she thought about it, Belinda felt her heart sting at the loss.She wanted badly to rush up and grab those two cards. However, Ysabella clutched her hand in a vice grip, stopping her from going."Ysabella, that's 11 million dollars," Belinda pleaded lowly."Mom, we can't take that money," Ysabella said."That's right, Mom. We can make that money ourselves," Tyrone said, going along with Ysabella. In reality, 11 million dollars wasn't much of a difference to him than 11 hundred dollars."What do you know?" Belinda said in a huff. She could only watch as Tiana put the cards
"I'll do 300 million dollars.""500 million dollars."Belinda pinched herself so she wouldn't faint from the shock. Tyrone, on the other hand, kept his cool. He had no intention of selling the rock. He could choose to keep it or have it carved, and this soccer ball-sized gem would still be worth billions. But the thing was that the gem attracted too much attention. There were no benefits to him keeping it. "600 million dollars," Horatio finally said. "You want this too, Mr. Goldman?" Tyrone asked. "It's a nice gem, anyone would want it.""Okay, I can sell this to you for 110 million dollars. But the condition is that you have to use part of this gem to make a bracelet for my wife."A bracelet wouldn't use up much of the gem at all. "Wouldn't you be making too much of a loss, Mr. Hendrick?" Horatio asked. "Then, let's include a pair of earrings. If it's alright with you, I can give you the gem now.""Sure, I'll transfer the money to you immediately.""Wait, transfer th
The money belonged to Tyrone. So, Ysabella had no reason to use it on Yvan. It was already too late when Belinda learned that Ysabella placed the money into a fixed-term account. She didn't expect Ysabella to be so resolute. "Are you really not going to help your brother out?" Belinda asked in disbelief. "He's perfectly capable of making his own money. Why do I need to help him?" Ysabella asked with a frown. "What delusions did that loser feed you? That's your biological brother. How can you be so heartless?" Belinda couldn't believe that Ysabella didn't want to help her own brother at all, even though she had an entire fortune of 100 million dollars. Yvan was visibly upset. "So you'd rather help an outsider than your own brother?" Ysabella smirked and said, "What do you mean by outsider? He is my husband, not an outsider."Fortunately, they were in their room. Or else, they'd be making a fool out of themselves. The in-laws were blatantly trying to rob the son-in-law of hi
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
