Tyrone smiled. "That's not true. Some of my uncles and granduncles died of natural causes. Some of those who survived were only cast out of the family. "But those adamant about becoming the head of the family might be killed off. Don't worry about me. I will be fine. I'll make sure you're fine, too."Fiona nodded. "Goodnight."Tyrone left her room and went back to his room. His expression fell.…The following day, Tyrone woke up early in the morning. The arrangements for the funeral were finished.It was the second day after Ambrose's passing. There were seven more days until his funeral. The remaining days were very important to a lot of the people in the Hendrick Family. After having breakfast, Tyrone left Fiona and Nia in Karl's care before heading out. Fiona stood up and said, "Where are you going? I'll come along."Tyrone was stunned. Then, he smiled. "It's fine. I can manage alone. You should stay at home."Fiona pursed her lips silently and stared directly at Tyron
Tyrone was taken aback. Clifford had asked this question many times before. If there were no deeper meaning to it, Tyrone wouldn't have believed it.Still, he chuckled and replied, "They say it's because the old man got too shameless."Clifford shot him a deep glance and walked out directly, leaving everything in the office behind. There wasn't anything particularly important anyway.When Clifford had kicked Tyrone out yesterday, he had anticipated Tyrone's return. What he hadn't expected was Tyrone's swift comeback, but it wasn't surprising.As he passed by Fiona, Clifford hesitated briefly but continued walking briskly. "How's it going, Honey? The company is mine now," Tyrone said triumphantly.Fiona furrowed her brows. Just having this small, struggling company wouldn't cut it. Trying to compete with Irvin using this insignificant firm was simply wishful thinking."Do you have any backup plans?" Fiona asked with a frown.Tyrone approached and lightly hugged Fiona. She frowned
"What do you feel like having for lunch?" Tyrone asked Fiona."Anything is fine. I'll eat whatever you usually eat," Fiona replied.Tyrone frowned and insisted, "No, that won't do. My Honey deserves the best. How can I let you settle for less?"Fiona pressed her lips together and added, "I don't know what's good around here. So, wherever you think is good, take me there.""Alright, let's go for Mediterranean cuisine. It's not far from the office, and the taste is excellent," Tyrone suggested.Fiona nodded.The two of them left the company and, as the distance wasn't far, walked directly to the restaurant.Meanwhile, Ysabella was at home, contacting her old friends to investigate Irvin. Though Tyrone currently didn't trust her, she still wanted to contribute.Ysabella had a friend who was an exceptional hacker, once a suitor of hers. However, Ysabella had turned him down firmly as she was already with Tyrone. Nevertheless, the hacker didn't give up on Ysabella. He specifically
"There's been a murder," exclaimed a middle-aged woman in terror, staring at Ysabella.Ysabella lowered her head. Seeing the gun in her hand, she hastily threw it away. However, it was already too late.A cold gaze pierced through her, making her shiver.She raised her eyes and saw Tyrone holding Fiona, covered in blood, looking at her with an icy stare. Even when she disguised herself as Fiona, Tyrone had never looked at her with such eyes. At that moment, Ysabella felt a sense of panic.She stood at the doorway. Tyrone had to pass by her to go downstairs.Everything happened in the blink of an eye. Ysabella understood she was being framed.As Tyrone passed her with Fiona in his arms, she said, "I didn't fire the gun just now."Tyrone responded with the same cold gaze.Fiona had been shot in the chest, but Tyrone had protected her heart with a silver needle. Without saying much to Ysabella, Tyrone carried Fiona downstairs. Ysabella tried to say something, but her body went
Tyrone's gaze gradually darkened as he said, "Don't move her for now, and don't let anyone know where she is.""Okay." Leopard nodded.Tyrone stood up and looked toward the intensive care unit where Fiona was. The look in his eyes became increasingly complex.After Leopard left, Tyrone continued to stay at the hospital.This hospital belonged to Hendricks Consortium. Even before Fiona was brought in, Karl had sent people to protect the hospital, but it couldn't be said that it was completely safe.After all, there was no guarantee that someone wouldn't infiltrate. So, Leopard sent more people over.On the other side, Ysabella was confined in a closed room with only a barred iron window and a large iron door. Two strong and skilled bodyguards stood at the door.Escape for Ysabella was nearly impossible.She sat on the bed, contemplating everything that happened yesterday.If Tyrone concluded that Fiona was genuine and she was the imposter who fired the shot, she might face the
Soon, other siblings found themselves subjected to Irvin's extremely cruel methods. He was leaving them powerless, unable even to resist.In the hospital, Tyrone held a bowl of oatmeal. He fed Fiona, who had recently awakened and still looked very pale."Honey, does it taste good?" Tyrone inquired.Fiona nodded faintly and weakly replied, "It's good."Tyrone smiled. "If it's good, have some more."The atmosphere between the two was incredibly harmonious and warm, a stark contrast to the tense situation outside.After finishing the oatmeal, Fiona calmly stated, "I'm tired. You go about your business."Tyrone grasped Fiona's hand, playfully saying, "No, I want to spend time with my Honey today."Fiona's lips curled slightly. "You've already been with me for two days. That's enough. Your company must have a lot to deal with. You should go and take care of it."Having spoken so much at once, Fiona's complexion changed. A trace of a bloody scent surged up from her throat.Tyrone's
"They're just following Tyrone's orders. Even if we force our way in, it won't work. Inside, there's easily someone skilled enough to wipe out all of us," Serena said.Sion was somewhat unwilling, but he knew Serena was speaking the truth. However, he couldn't accept it. He didn't want to spend his life begging on the streets.At that moment, Serena's phone rang. Someone had sent her a message. Serena took out her phone, and after reading the contents of the text, her eyes widened slightly."Sion, we need to leave immediately," Serena said.Sion wanted to ask more questions, but seeing Serena's serious expression, he chose to remain silent.After all, Serena was one of the few siblings left with strong abilities. If even she couldn't lead them to escape from Irvin's clutches, then they were truly doomed.They hadn't anticipated Irvin would be so ruthless, cutting off the last escape route for this group of siblings who had no hope of becoming the family head.As everyone got int
"Okay," Serena agreed."And one more thing. Uncle Magnus's daughter, Nia, also resides there. I hope none of you will focus on her or say anything unnecessary to her. Otherwise, I'll immediately kick you out," Tyrone added sternly.Serena nodded in understanding."All right, Seth, take them back to the old mansion," Tyrone instructed, referring to the man who had delivered the message earlier.The group followed Seth out of the room. Watching them leave, Tyrone's expression became complex. He took out his phone and dialed Leopard."Help me get Elijah to the hospital," Tyrone said slowly."Alright," Leopard acknowledged, well aware that Tyrone's current actions were extremely risky. After all, Tyrone himself was in a precarious situation. Sheltering these people would only make Irvin target Tyrone even more. With Irvin's current influence, they might not be able to withstand the confrontation.However, turning a blind eye to them would seem too heartless. Even if their relation
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
