Tyrone made his way back home immediately after he dropped Yasmine off at college. He proceeded to cook a few of his signature dishes. Ysabella came home just as he was setting the food on the table. "Come over and eat!"Ysabella hadn't eaten anything the whole day. Her stomach was rumbling. She couldn't help but salivate when she smelled the food. But when she saw Tyrone, she tightened her face and quickly sat down at the table. "Tyrone, is this all you can do? Stay at home and cook? What can you do besides cooking?" She recalled the day she had returned to her parents' home. She had felt suffocated listening to her family's questions. They had asked her for a house and a car as if it were a given. It was like she owed them. She felt a chill down her spine from that memory. She got angry when Tyrone got her a bowl of soup and didn't speak. "Are you mute or something? If you don't want to talk, then let's not talk anymore!" Ysabella put her spoon down angrily. She
Early the next morning, Tyrone went out after he prepared breakfast. He hadn't said anything yesterday because there were things he couldn't reveal. He had to ask Emerson about it today. At the moment, Emerson was drinking tea with Tyrone in his office at Tergot Tech. "Is everything going well with the company?""I don't understand how you pulled it off, Ty. Even if the company hadn't been seized, we wouldn't have been able to develop it to the scale that it is now! You're truly my savior!"Emerson gulped down a cup of tea. He was very grateful to Tyrone for helping him uphold his pride as a man and giving him the chance to start over again. Tyrone helped him recover everything that he had lost! Tyrone chuckled and said, "I also have someone who helped me. You'll understand sooner or later!"Emerson didn't probe further. He trusted Tyrone. "Oh, Tyrone. I think your wife is having some trouble at work," Emerson said with a frown. It didn't seem like the problem would be ea
Tyrone didn't attack Rodrick. Instead, he quickly went to the corner and scooped Ysabella into his arms. She was too drunk. Her pupils were dilated. She was still mumbling, "Tyrone, save me …"Rodrick managed to calm himself. He said in a shaky voice, "Ty—Tyrone, do you think you're a big deal because you can fight? Do you know who you just attacked?"Let me tell you, you've brought trouble on yourself! They won't let you off easily! You're dead meat!"Rodrick had regained his confidence. He had formed the plan to violate Ysabella when she had reached out to him, asking him to get Tyrone a job. And now that her worthless husband had attacked Barker and Curry, they definitely wouldn't let her go before they had their way with her. "Is that right?"Tyrone didn't care who they were. No one was allowed to lay a hand on his wife!He slowly walked toward Rodrick. His eyes grew cold. Rodrick was too scared to run. He shouted, "Don't come any closer! Don't come—""So you're Ysabe
After an hour, Rodrick, Curry, and Barker were sitting in a luxurious private dining room at Red Restaurant. This time, they had brought along their companies' security guards. There were around a dozen men in the room and around 20 more outside the room. Barker and Curry had bandages all over their bodies. They looked as if a group of people had beaten them with sticks.On the other hand, Tyrone and Emerson arrived, only accompanied by Grinch and Bulldozer. Rodrick's security guards informed him that Tyrone and Emerson had only brought two men with them. He broke out in laughter. "Tyrone, you really are dumb, aren't you? Did you really think we were here to negotiate with you? You've been tricked, you fool!" Rodrick had only accepted Emerson's invitation to negotiate so that he could lure them here. He planned to have his men beat them up. That way, there was no need to negotiate. He would be the one to dictate the terms!Emerson yelled in surprise, "We walked into a tra
"Ty, you have to tell me! Who are these two men you brought with you? And what happened to those three companies?" Emerson suddenly began to feel like he didn't know his friend anymore. Tyrone had become unfamiliar and mysterious. Tyrone realized that the cat was out of the bag. He decided to tell Emerson the truth.He said, "These two are Grinch and Bulldozer. Have you heard of Marcus?" Although Emerson was a regular citizen, even he had heard of Marcus. He asked, "Yeah. But what do they have to do with Marcus?" Suddenly, he thought about how powerful they were. He said in disbelief, "Ty, are you saying … that they work for Marcus?"Grinch said, "We used to. But now, the two of us and the rest of Marcus' group have been merged into a new group. It's called Sky High!" Sky High! Emerson was shocked. Tyrone had renamed Ysabella's company Sky High Group. But the underground gang was also called Sky High. Could it be that …"Ty, what are you talking about? This isn't a joke!"
Although he was shocked, Grinch still went to call his underlings. "Boss, I've got the information. Weasel is currently at Echo Chamber Bar. That's also his turf!""Alright, let's go take a look."Tyrone stood by. He was ready to go and meet Golden Summer Bar's other owner. Grinch didn't have a choice. He didn't want to go up against Weasel. But his boss had spoken, so he had to listen. "I'll call for backup." "No need. The two of us are enough."Grinch was taken aback. He didn't think there was any way the two of them could survive the trip. Echo Chamber Bar was considered Weasel's base of operations. His goons there were all battle-hardened. They weren't like Rodrick's security guards. Emerson stood in Tyrone's way and reasoned with him. "Ty, don't be stupid! We should talk about this more and come up with a plan first. There's no need to rush things!""You just work on your own stuff. Wait for good news." Tyrone left the office with Grinch behind him. Grinch knew he
Back in his office at Tergot Tech, Emerson sighed in relief when he saw that Tyrone was fine."Dude, I was so worried. I almost thought you wouldn't be back!" "Don't worry; I'm tough. I won't die easily."Tyrone went to make some tea. He had spoken a lot, so he was feeling thirsty. "Ty, tell me now, how did it go?"Grinch noticed that Tyrone was focused on making tea. He coughed lightly and said, "Mr. Rivers, let me tell you instead. It was a complete victory for us since boss went personally. We'll be working with Weasel to take down Teddy.""Teddy?" Emerson had the same expression that Grinch had sported earlier."Didn't he die two years ago? Did he come back to life?" Emerson was shocked. Both Teddy and Weasel had been infamous back in the day. No one had dared to stand against them when they worked together. Rumor had it that Teddy had been killed by a rival's sniper. There was solid evidence for it, too. That was why the city's criminal underworld had been split into se
Tyrone was stunned. He hadn't done anything wrong, so why was he being chased off?But he quickly understood the reason why. Now that Ysabella was the boss of the company, the family was relying on her to buy a car for Yvan.Of course, they thought that Tyrone wasn't a worthy match for Ysabella, who had an annual salary of a million dollars.Ysabella couldn't watch any further and spoke out. "Mom, where is he going to go if you chase him off so late at night?" She felt bad for Tyrone."He can go wherever he likes!" Belinda huffed. "He should blame himself for being good-for-nothing if he doesn't even have a place to stay." Belinda spoke cruelly. She rushed Tyrone out of the door, preparing to shut it.Ysabella quickly blocked the doorway."Mom, can you really blame Tyrone for this? Our house is a mansion of nearly 2000 square feet. It's big enough. Who would have thought …"Ysabella glanced inside the house. She continued lowly, "If you chase him out, then I'm moving out
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
