"You spent a lot of money on getting such a huge house, right?" Belinda asked. "We bought it with the 100 million dollars we earned before. We don't have much money left," Ysabella replied calmly. Yannick anxiously asked, "I thought you couldn't withdraw the money?"Tyrone chuckled and said, "We called in a favor and managed to withdraw it."Belinda ground her teeth in anger. Ysabella and Tyrone hadn't been willing to fork out the money back then, but it turned out that they had used it to buy a nice house for themselves. Her resentment for Ysabella was growing stronger. "That's so inconsiderate of you two! Your father and I are still living in the old residence. We don't even have anyone to care for us." "Didn't I give you a million dollars? Besides, aren't Yvan and Luna living with you? Do they not take care of you?" Ysabella asked. A hint of embarrassment flashed on Belinda's face. Yvan had probably used up all the money that Ysabella had given her. As for Luna, Belind
If Belinda could get 200 million dollars for Yvan, she would also be set for a long time, if not for life. To that end, there was nothing she wouldn't do. She didn't care about Ysabella's feelings at all. "Ysabella, go back to our room. I'll handle things from here," Tyrone said. Ysabella looked at Tyrone and felt an inexplicable sense of security. She nodded. Belinda saw Ysabella walking away and wanted to wrap her hands around Ysabella's leg, but Tyrone stopped her. Ysabella took this chance to get into her room upstairs and closed the door. Belinda saw no reason to throw a fit after Ysabella left. She stood up and slapped Tyrone again. Her sharp fingernails dug into Tyrone's neck a little, and it began to bleed. Paired with the red hand prints, it looked a little terrifying.Tyrone didn't even flinch. "Mom, you should calm down. Anger is bad for your health." Belinda sneered, "I bet you just can't wait to see me dead.""Of course not," Tyrone said with a smile. "Stop
Emerson and the others had tried their best to keep Belinda away from Shoredale so that she wouldn't be able to bother Tyrone. Little had they expected that Marcella, who was in Shoredale, would interfere. The agreed-upon day arrived quickly.Marcella and the others went to Golden Gate Hotel with Belinda. It was the most luxurious hotel in Shoredale, so of course they had to come and take a look. Horatio greeted them with a smile and had someone take them to a private room. Everything in the room was of the highest quality. Since it concerned Tyrone's reputation, Horatio had spared no expense. Once she was seated, Marcella began to inspect her surroundings. The hotel was more luxurious than she had imagined. In comparison, their home looked like a slum. Yvan straightened his back and said, "Grandma, we can stay here for a night after we get the money. It's better than you think.""You're my dear grandson indeed, Yvan," Marcella said with a huge smile. Yannick stood at the
When it was time to pay, Marcella almost fainted from anger when she looked at the bill. They had spent 100 million dollars at the hotel. "This has to be a mistake," Belinda said, clutching the bill in her trembling hands. The receptionist said politely, "You signed off on every single expense personally. If you don't believe me, we have the surveillance footage to prove it." Belinda hadn't really paid any attention when she had signed off on their expenses. She figured that it would be no issue since they had money. But she had never expected to spend so much. "If you don't want to pay, we can let the authorities handle it."Belinda glared at the receptionist. "Who told you that we wouldn't pay?"Though unwilling, Belinda paid up in the end. Luckily, she split the bill with Yanis, so it was more manageable. However, none of them had thought about what they would do after spending all the money. …Ysabella suddenly received news that a successful businessman from Andxile
Every bit of disdain that Grigory felt for Tyrone had turned into respect. People like Grigory respected people stronger than him and looked down on weaklings. "Alright, assemble the best men you have here."Grigory quickly went to do Tyrone's bidding. After a while, around a dozen of the base's best trainees had assembled on the field. They were shocked to see how scrawny Tyrone was and found it hard to believe that he had defeated their instructor. They wondered if they had misheard. Tyrone looked at them calmly and said, "I'll take on all of you at once."The trainees looked at each other in bewilderment. They couldn't believe that someone who seemed so weak wanted to take on all of them at once. "Why are all of you just standing around? Didn't you all hear what Mr. Hendrick said?" Grigory kicked one of the guys closest to him. The trainees then began to rush toward Tyrone. They were the best in the base. Even Grigory couldn't take all of them on at once. But their per
Jim was still a little hesitant. But since Tyrone wanted to spar, he figured he would just go easy on him. After all, Jim couldn't hurt the man who had saved his daughter. But he quickly realized how silly he had been. Tyrone didn't need Jim to go easy on him. He was in a different league from him when it came to fighting skills. Although Tyrone wasn't as experienced as Jim, he managed to win in the end and land Jim on the floor. Kacy was relieved to see that Tyrone was fine. Tyrone let go of Jim and said with an impressed expression, "You're a good fighter.""You're much better than me, Mr. Hendrick." Jim tried to suppress the surprise he felt. He was sure that Tyrone must have undergone specialized training to have become so capable. Whoever trained Tyrone must also be extremely skilled."Are you interested in becoming a bodyguard for my company? I'll pay you based on the highest standards in the industry. How does that sound?""There's no need for that, Mr. Hendrick. Yo
Baldie hesitated for a moment before finally conceding to Tyrone's approach. There was no choice; they couldn't outmuscle Tyrone, nor could they let him simply bulldoze his way through them.Tyrone followed Baldie's car up a mountain road that was surprisingly spacious and lined with an array of greenery. The environment was pleasant, to say the least.Pulling out his phone, Tyrone messaged Ysabella, informing her that he was at the training base and might return late. She responded with an acknowledgment.Eventually, Baldie's vehicle halted at a midpoint up the mountain, revealing a massive villa that dwarfed Tyrone's own many times over.The villa's entrance was guarded by men in black. Their demeanor was menacing, and they were unmistakably the gatekeepers of the stronghold before them—the headquarters of the Black Dragon.Stepping out of the car, Tyrone was immediately met by a muscular man who emerged from the villa."Mr. Hendrick, welcome. My name is Michael Sullivan, assis
"Alright, Mr. Hendrick," Grigory responded.Kacy felt a twinge of curiosity at Grigory's sudden deference to Tyrone. It was unusual, but she kept her questions to herself, considering his respect for Tyrone as a good sign.Suddenly, Tyrone caught sight of an unexpected figure and instinctively hid behind the petite Kacy.Kacy blushed at their sudden proximity. Then, she noticed something amiss. Approaching them was a stunningly beautiful woman. She was dressed provocatively and exuded an indescribable charm with every step she took.Even as a woman, Kacy couldn't deny the allure of the beauty before her."Hiding behind a woman, Tyrone? Is that really becoming of you?" Eve said, a mocking smile playing on her lips as she eyed him.Tyrone emerged from behind Kacy with an awkward laugh, feigning nonchalance. "What brings you here?""Can't I come and have a look?" Eve replied.Tyrone was unsure how to respond. In the end, he said, "If there's nothing else, I'll be on my way."Ka
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
