"I know Ysabella is the only one you love. I know everyone will think I'm a whore and shun me. But I can't control my feelings for you. I'm not asking you to reciprocate my feelings. I'll be content if I can stay by your side."Tyrone forcefully broke free from Kacy's embrace. He was unaware of her feelings before she was drugged. After that, he couldn't ignore her feelings for him any longer.Tyrone was something of a doctor. He was able to alleviate the effects of the aphrodisiac, but she still wanted to sleep with him even though she wasn't under the influence of the drug anymore. He understood her feelings after that. Recently, he had been intentionally staying away from her. He thought she would leave Stillmond and think things through. He wouldn't have needed to say such hurtful words.But Kacy was too stubborn. She didn't give up even after his harsh words. Tyrone was moved by her devotion to him. But the emotions he was feeling weren't directed toward Kacy as a person bu
The middle-aged woman quickly wiped her hand on her clothes, but her suspicious actions only made it more apparent that she did molest Tyrone. Tyrone shook his head and said with a sigh, "It's so sad that the law doesn't protect men from people like you, or else you'd be headed to jail."The woman grew visibly upset. She got riled up as the people around her started laughing. In a rage, she spat, "I bet you enjoyed it. Who knows, maybe you're a pervert, and the young woman there is in cahoots with you. Maybe you're responsible for seducing women while she seduces the men, all so the two of you can pick people's pockets.""Lady, you're such a talented storyteller to be able to come up with such an elaborate tale on the spot. If this were a scene in a show, you're probably going to get beat up."The crowd broke out into laughter again. The bus arrived at a stop. The woman couldn't take the humiliation anymore. "I'll remember this!" The woman said with gritted teeth. She glared a
Tyrone asked with a smirk, "Hey, Neal, where's Zara?"Neal got visibly upset at the question and glared at him. He didn't recognize Tyrone because he looked ruffled. His clothes were crumpled from the crowded bus ride, and his hair was dripping wet. Neal thought Tyrone looked familiar but didn't know who he was. He wasn't impressed, even if he had guessed that the man before him was Tyrone. Tyrone had been disowned by the Hendrick Family and had nothing to his name. No one would even spare him a glance if not for his last name. "Get me out of here, and I promise I won't hold that against you," Neal said through gritted teeth. Tyrone noticed a bottle of water in the backseat of the car. He leaned in and picked it up. He poured it on Neal, who was staring daggers at him as he did it. Neal's expression became very interesting. He started cursing in multiple languages. Tyrone picked his ears and said emotionlessly, "Now, we're even."Neal had the urge to smash Tyrone's head in, but h
It was a rainy day. Iris was at the bus stop. Her clothes were a little wet, but the bus hadn't arrived yet. Iris checked the time on her phone repeatedly with an anxious expression. Looking at her, Tyrone was reminded of Ysabella. He had no idea where she was. Did she also feel helpless without him by her side? He smiled at the thought. If Ysabella knew that he thought of her as a damsel in distress, she would probably be mad. He stopped the car next to Iris and rolled down the windows. "Get in," he said.Iris looked at him in surprise while the others waiting for the bus looked at her with envy. Some of them even thought she might be an escort since someone in an expensive car was picking her up. Their expressions changed as they looked at her. Iris was about to get into the passenger seat when Tyrone stopped her. "You should sit in the back. There's a towel in the back you can dry yourself with."Iris didn't think too much about it. She nodded and got in the car. Tyrone
Leopard was at a loss for words. That night, they chose a random bar that looked decent and walked in. They could already hear the unpleasant club music when they stepped into the establishment. There were plenty of people having fun on the dance floor. Tyrone wasn't interested in that, so he and Leopard found a spot and sat down. Then, they ordered two bottles of alcohol. "I heard you spent a huge amount of money for a woman. Is that true?" Leopard asked with a smirk. Tyrone opened a bottle of beer and said resignedly, "It's true."Leopard inhaled sharply and looked at him with disbelief. "What woman could have such irresistible charms that she could make you do that behind your wife's back?"Tyrone took a huge swig. "It was my mother.""What?""The necklace I spent 300 million on is an heirloom from my mom."Leopard was stunned. He didn't expect things to take such a turn. He smiled awkwardly and said, "I'm sorry. I didn't know." "It's fine. Let's drink. It's been so l
Tyrone shrugged. "You didn't say they had to land a hit."Neal scowled as he looked at Tyrone's despicable expression. He felt a sense of familiarity. Back in his childhood, there was a Hendrick kid who always tagged along with Eve and took her toys and candies. What was his name again?"Who is Tyrone Hendrick to you?" That despicable expression was almost identical to Tyrone's back when he was a kid."You finally recognized me. It's been quite some time since we last met. You've grown so much." Tyrone walked up to Neal and gave him a friendly pat on the head. "Get away from me. So it was you all along. I …" Neal spat curses at Tyrone in multiple languages. Tyrone picked his ear. He wondered if Neal spent his time overseas learning how to curse in foreign languages. But Neal was a very handsome man. Even if he was foul-mouthed, there were still women who idolized him. "Alright. Let's go in for a drink," Tyrone said as he slung his arm around Neal's shoulder. He wanted to take
Tyrone suppressed his urge to smile. He didn't want to agitate Neal any further. He cleared his throat and said, "Last night, you said it was on the house. Why are you going back on your word again? You're making it hard for anyone to trust you.""You …" Neal was rendered speechless. Tyrone was right. He had promised to foot the bill. After a pause, he said through gritted teeth, "That's because you tricked me while I was drunk." "But the words came out of your mouth. A real man never goes back on his word. Zara, I mean, Neal, please don't be such an indecisive wuss. Can you be manlier?""Who are you calling a wuss?" Neal shot up from the chair and glared at Tyrone like he was trying to intimidate him. Neal's features were just too soft. A normal person staring someone down would have been more intimidating, but Neal's glare just made him look adorable. Tyrone finally understood why the Hoskins doted on him so much. He was like a cute little puppy that only deserved cuddles
"No. I meant a million dollars.""What? Come again?" The man raised his voice, attracting the attention of the people around them. "A million dollars. You'll get 200 thousand dollars as a referral fee. But if the person doesn't meet my requirements …"Before Tyrone could finish his sentence, the man suddenly grasped Tyrone's hand. With a gleam in his eyes, he asked, "What about me? Do you think I can play the part?" Tyrone's lips twitched. "I need the person's appearance to meet certain standards."The man took out a facial wipe from his pocket and scrubbed at his face, revealing a good-looking face. The difference was night and day. "What about now? Do I meet your requirements?" The man dropped his cold demeanor and was practically throwing himself at Tyrone. Tyrone pushed the man away with a darkened expression. He acted like he didn't know the man, which was the truth. They didn't know each other to begin with. But the man was set on getting the job. He pestered Tyrone
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
