"Do you know where he is?" Tyrone asked.

The manager shook his head. "I don't know. I just work here. Why would I know the boss' whereabouts?"

"Is that so?" Tyrone nodded as he took out a phone.

The manager looked at the phone in shock. It was his. He had it in his pocket. How did it appear in Tyrone's hands? He didn't even notice Tyrone getting close to him.

"Mr. Hendrick, please return my phone to me." The manager approached Tyrone to try taking his phone back, but Tyrone moved away.

The manager was surprised to find out that Tyrone had unlocked his phone. He didn't understand how Tyrone knew his password.

Tyrone found Neal's number and made a call with the phone as the manager looked at him in shock.

"Ann, I mean, Neal, I'm at your bar right now. Yeah, I'm alone. The wine we drank last time was pretty good. What? You want to buy me a drink? Sure."

Tyrone hung up. He turned off the phone before throwing it to the manager.

"Remember the wine we had last time? Bring out

    Maisey slowed down and looked around. The lights were pretty. Was the gold wallpaper made with real gold? Neal was getting impatient in the bar. He wondered why Ewan wasn't back with someone yet. Tyrone sat in his chair calmly and sipped on the wine as Neal glared at him. Maisey finally walked in slowly. Neal smiled when he saw her. Even though she was short, she looked like a real man with her appearance and the way she walked. "Have you decided which arm you want to keep?" Neal asked in a sinister tone. Tyrone looked at Neal with a confused expression. "Have you got the million dollars ready?""Are you delusional? You've lost. A man just walked in." Tyrone looked at him with an amused expression. Neal's heart skipped a beat when he saw it. He felt like something was wrong. As expected, Maisey acted up when Neal said she was a man. She put her arms on her hips and said indignantly, "Look closely. I am a woman!" Maisey changed her voice back to a feminine tone from the

    At night, Tyrone scrolled through the news on his phone with a contented smile. While what he did might not be able to dethrone Irvin, it was nonetheless enough to set Irvin back.And if Irvin couldn't handle this crisis, his company stock price would fall, too. When that happened, the board would put pressure on Irvin.And indeed, as Tyrone predicted, the stock price of Irvin's company fell by 3% on the third day. It might not seem a lot, but several hundred million evaporated due to the fall. The board demanded an explanation from Irvin. Irvin couldn't find Maisey, so he could only hold a press conference to explain in public.During the day of the conference, the press flooded the spacious conference hall inside Irvin's office building. Tyrone also joined in the fun because he knew something scandalous was about to happen.Entering the hall, Irvin's eyebrows perked up when he saw Tyrone. Tyrone's presence could only mean that something bad would happen soon. In fact, Irvin used

    Maisey then coughed a few more times. Since her face was already pallid, Irvin's men believed that Maisey was sick. They let Maisey rest for half an hour. After that, they would take Maisey away by force.Maisey maintained her calm demeanor, but deep down, she was panicking. She prayed that Tyrone would arrive before Irvin's men took her away. If she was taken away, she might be slaughtered mercilessly. That said, Maisey wondered if Irvin was serious about the 20 million dollar deal."Uhm … Did Mr. Irvin truly say that he would pay me 20 million dollars?"The guard glanced at Maisey and answered, "Yes, he's a man of his word."Maisey turned hesitant. 20 million dollars! That was ten million more than what Tyrone had promised her. She could do so many things with the money. Plus, she wasn't the mastermind. All she had to do was snitch him out. Surely, Irvin wouldn't harm a vulnerable and innocent woman.Besides, she could always get that 20 million dollars from Irvin first. Then, s

    Maisey sighed wistfully. Her python would have been as big as this anaconda if her family hadn't sold the pet shop off. Perhaps Maisey had this hurt look on her that made Irvin grow soft. He patted the anaconda's sleek head and instructed the guard next to him."Tell the chef to prepare a dinner for two."The guard was taken aback by Irvin's decision, but he complied nonetheless."I like spicy food. Please tell the chef to add extra chilis," Maisey demanded shamelessly.Irvin chuckled. "You sure are comfortable.""Self-care is important. When are you paying me? Once I have the money, I'll say whatever you want me to say." Maisey looked at Irvin with her big, round eyes.Irvin's heart skipped a beat when he met Maisey's gaze of sincerity. It was a strange feeling—after all, gone was the time Irvin pined for a romantic relationship. Now, he changed his girlfriends like he changed his clothes."Tell me what you know first.""Pay up first."Irvin glared at Maisey, but Maisey was u

    Tyrone wasn't aware of what Iris was thinking, of course. Otherwise, he would never offer to give Iris a lift. Iris stayed in an old apartment hidden inside an alley. Tyrone's car couldn't fit, so he dropped Iris off at the alley's entrance."Take care," said Tyrone as Iris left his car.Iris nodded. She had hoped that Tyrone would make her stay and say something to her. When a man gave a woman a lift this late at night, something was bound to happen. But that wasn't Tyrone's intention at all. He didn't ask Iris to return as she walked further and further away.When Iris disappeared into the alley, Tyrone drove home.Meanwhile, poor Maisey was incarcerated in a room alongside the anaconda. After the lavish meal, Maisey thought that she would be released. However, Irvin stopped her and threw her into this room despite her protest.He said, "It's so late already. I can't possibly let you return home alone. Please stay."What nonsense! If Irvin truly wanted to let her go, he would h

    Irvin was six back then. Tyrone wasn't even born yet. Ambrose took Irvin to see his uncle. And what he saw had been forever seared into his mind. With just a few words, Ambrose made his younger brother jump from a building.Irvin was … shocked. Traumatized, even. Before his uncle made the leap, he looked toward Irvin. Irvin still couldn't decipher the look on his uncle's face. Was it pity? Hatred? Or was it something else?As Irvin spaced out, Tyrone left the room. He withdrew the needle on Ang. But the latter was still groaning on the floor. His eyes contorted unnaturally."Send him to the hospital," Irvin ordered.His underlings got to work immediately and sent Ang to the hospital. Fortunately for Ang, he was safe. The doctor gave him some sedatives, and he was discharged after a few days of rest. After Tyrone left Hendrick Consortium, he went to see Eve."Woah. What brought you here, fiancé?" Eve walked in and gave Tyrone a mirthless smile. She was still reeling from the surpri

    "As for the rest, I want all of you to stop slacking and work hard. This company will only survive if everyone pulls their weight. Top performers will be given a 0.1% stock option. According to our current revenue, you may just get more than 10k when we hand out dividends at the end of the year."Tyrone's announcement made everyone cheer loudly. Not only did Tyrone not fire them, he even gave them a raise through indirect means. "I don't care what you did in the past. But from now on, if anyone violates the company rules or shirks their duty, they will be fired. If you don't believe me, just give it a go." Tyrone grinned. Despite his friendly demeanor, everyone knew how serious Tyrone was.After Tyrone delivered his speech, he left. Leopard and Florent recited the company policy so people would not make the same mistake. Tyrone's strategy proved to be an effective one. Everyone in the newly established marketing department sought clients eagerly.Tyrone did not renege on his promi

    After that event, Maisey stayed in the mansion obediently, waiting for the day Irvin was kind enough to let her go. Luckily, Irvin did not restrict Maisey's movement in the mansion. She could go anywhere except the study room.One time, the anaconda slithered into the study. Maisey went inside to retrieve it. Irvin saw it and reprimanded her loudly. What was so secretive about the study anyway? It was so boring. After reminiscing, Maisey scratched the soles of her feet as the anaconda lay on her chest. After a month of confinement, while Maisey wanted to get out, she also felt bad leaving the anaconda.Maisey had always liked snakes. And without the anaconda, Maisey couldn't imagine how bored she would be in the past month. Maisey knew that if she left the mansion one day, she would miss it terribly.Suddenly, the door to her room flung open. Judging from the gait, Maisey knew it was Irvin. She pursed her lips and refused to turn around to greet him. Furthermore, she picked up a f

    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.

    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?"

    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.

    "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
