Now, Tyrone's top priority was dealing with Patrick and Fanny. He was heading to Orlay, and the trip would be dangerous since that was Elijah's territory. However, abandoning Patrick and Fanny here would make them think that Tyrone deceived them.Tyrone could ask someone to take them to Shoredale. But Patrick and Fanny would be anxious about the idea of traveling to an unfamiliar place with strangers. Therefore, Tyrone let the two kids decide where they wanted to go.Fanny only looked at Patrick. She would go wherever Patrick went.Patrick turned to Tyrone and said, "We'll come with you." They would go to Orlay with Tyrone."But it'll be dangerous."Patrick shook his head bravely. "We're not afraid.""Alright then." Besides, Fanny's condition needed constant treatment. And Tyrone didn't know when he would finish handling everything in Orlay.Fanny and Patrick then followed Tyrone to Orlay. On the plane, Fanny and Patrick were on the edge of their seats. It was their first time
Needless to say, Elijah was aware that Tyrone was in Orlay."Karl sure is Tyrone's favorite lapdog," sniggered Elijah. He knew why Tyrone had gone to Orlay. As for Karl, Elijah couldn't touch him just yet. But if he found an opportunity, he would definitely show Karl who the master of the family was."Your father taught Tyrone how to gamble," said Johnny, someone who was close to Tyrone."Who do you think is the better player then, him or me?""You, of course, Mr. Hendrick." As the owner of the casino, Elijah was also very skilled in gambling.Elijah laughed out loud. "Then I'll make sure Tyrone won't leave Orlay alive."…After a night of good sleep, Tyrone felt better. Fanny also looked revitalized under Tyrone's care. She was tanned and cute, especially with her big, round eyes. Every time Emerson looked at her, it gave him the urge to adopt her. It was just a wish, of course. He had no patience to raise a child."We're heading to Orlay today. Brace yourselves because it
Tyrone left without another word. Mr. White didn't dare make Tyrone stay since the latter was part of the Hendrick family too. He reported the whole incident to Elijah. Upon hearing what had happened, Elijah decided to tend to the matter personally.…Meanwhile, Ysabella was at work when she saw the news of an anonymous person helping the Carombianese police dismantle a human trafficking syndicate. Tyrone wasn't mentioned at all, but Ysabella had a lot of respect for the anonymous hero. After all, not many people had the courage to fight criminals.…When Tyrone left the casino, he saw Colton having a heated discussion. In the end, Colton got so angry that he smashed his phone to the ground. Now that he had lost all his money, Colton was no longer as confident and high-spirited as he had been before. To make matters worse, Mikhail had launched a coup and taken over Colton's position as the new boss of the gang. Colton had to shoulder millions of dollars in debt. Without h
"Nothing much. Just know that if you ever betray me, you'll shoulder a greater debt."Tyrone didn't want to do this. But he knew that he needed something to keep Colton in line. Otherwise, Colton wouldn't cooperate. So why did he recruit a dangerous man like Colton? The reason was simple—Tyrone could use Colton's expertise and experience as an ex-leader of a gang.Colton gave it some thought and signed the contract. If he ever breached the contract, it would be revealed to humiliate him. After Colton signed it, Tyrone asked for his bank account number and transferred 500 million dollars to him.Colton let out a sigh of relief. He was finally debt-free. Then, he asked courteously, "What is your name, sir?"Tyrone asked Leopard to keep the contract before answering, "I'm Tyrone. You can call me Mr. Hendrick."Tyrone's surname made Colton frown. He asked, "Are you part of the Hendrick family?"The next second, Colton realized that he didn't have the right to be this upfront with
Elijah bared his teeth. He wanted to tear Tyrone apart. "I'll wager this casino.""Come on, Elijah. That's not enough. Your casino isn't as valuable as the shares I hold," sneered Tyrone.It was his trump card. Tyrone had never wanted to reveal that he had shares because Rhia had sacrificed her life for it. But now, someone had ruffled Tyrone's feathers."If Irvin finds out that you have any shares, you won't be able to return to Shoredale alive." All the other siblings would fight for the shares."Try me, Elijah." Tyrone wasn't concerned. He was confident that no one could take the shares away.Elijah gritted his teeth. Did Tyrone have another trump card? Regardless, Tyrone's shares were too enticing a prize to give up. "I'll wager your mother's hotel too. If that's not enough, forget it.""Okay. Let's play one round." The duo would play a round of poker. Elijah was very confident. Tyrone was on his territory, and the card dealer worked for him too. This time, Elijah would m
While Ambrose loved Tyrone so much that he had even given the latter some shares, he disliked Tyrone's softness and sentimentality. He believed that it would only hold Tyrone back. However, the rest of his children didn't impress him either.After Karl heard what Ambrose said, he helped Ambrose into bed and left. …Half a month later, Colton was reinstated as the leader of his gang. The traitor, Mikhail, was killed. After all, only one of them could live.But Colton wasn't as cunning as Mikhail. If Mikhail had found strong support like Tyrone, Colton would have been dead. When Colton went to see Tyrone, the latter had already become the owner of the casinos. Colton was overjoyed. With the casinos by his side, his gang would have access to many things."Are you done with everything?" Tyrone sat on the couch and looked at Colton. It was just like the first time they had met."Yes, Mr. Hendrick," said Colton humbly."Remember what you promised me?""Of course." Colton lowered
The older of the two, Patrick, was around 12 years old now. 12 years ago, Tyrone had been in high school. He couldn't have had a child out of wedlock back then. Tyrone sat in the passenger seat silently. He wanted to explain, but Ysabella's emotionless face deterred him.Tyrone's reaction reminded Patrick of a henpecked husband. Once they arrived at the mansion, Ysabella got out of the car first, while Tyrone took the kids with him. Although he had already told Joanne that he would come back with kids, she was nonetheless shocked by how exotic they looked."You will stay here for now," Tyrone addressed the kids in Carombianese. The kids nodded. Joanne then took the kids to their rooms and placed their belongings in the wardrobe.Tyrone crept toward Ysabella with an apologetic look. "I adopted those two children. They aren't some kids out of wedlock or something."Ysabella merely grumbled in response. Tyrone wasn't sure if she was convinced or not. "The girl, Fanny, has a seri
Before Yvan could get close, Tyrone quickly subdued him and pressed him to the ground. Belinda went crazy at the sight and rushed over, attempting to scratch Tyrone in a frenzy.Before this, Tyrone had tolerated Belinda's outbursts for Ysabella's sake. But he could no longer bear her after knowing what she had done to Ysabella. It had completely extinguished the little warmth that he had for them.He stood up and effortlessly tossed Yvan, who weighed over 200 pounds, out of the way. Seeing her son fall, Belinda lost all interest in attacking Tyrone and hurried to help her precious son up.Standing at the side, Yannick pointed at Tyrone angrily. "How can you do this?"Although Yannick had never directly done anything to Tyrone and Ysabella, that didn't mean he was blameless. With Belinda acting out his intentions, he could conveniently hide behind her. In the end, he was just a coward. He had obviously been encouraging Belinda, enabling her to become increasingly audacious.
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
