Everyone in Madison's was confused, to say the least. The domineering Leopard and the queen bee, Jada made a formidable couple. But why did they leave the restaurant in such a panic? Just who in Cleyton could send them running with tails between their legs? Ysabella finally snapped back to reality. "What happened? Did Ms. Lynn ..." She was just as lost. The woman who swore to humiliate her disappeared after a call. Meanwhile, Vania let out a sigh of relief. "Ysabella, we should go. Who knows when that crazy bitch will come back." Vania did not want to lick the floor at all. "Sure." Ysabella just wanted to close this chapter. She couldn't take another heart attack anymore. When Ysabella was home, she took a shower and prepared to go to bed. Suddenly, someone knocked on her door. "Ysabella, are you asleep?" "No." Tyrone opened the door and saw Belinda standing there. Belinda noticed the mattress beside him and commented snarkily, "Useless." Belinda had always
"You can keep whatever car it is to yourself. I'll just do some shopping. Urgh, we should have driven our Audi A6 here. What a disappointment." Matilda wasn't going to sit in a cheap car. "I, for one, don't trust the driving skill of a useless man." Dave then left with his wife. Matilda and Dave were happy to learn that they were right—that Ysabella was not the CEO of some company. They could just do some light shopping before going back. Tyrone didn't say anything. He just walked to his car. Matilda thought Tyrone would beg them to stay. Not getting the reaction she wanted, she turned back. But before she could berate Tyrone, she saw him enter an expensive-looking BMW! "Wait!" shouted Matilda. Tyrone had already started the engine and was leaving. Disregarding her personal safety, Matilda stood before the BMW. Fortunately, Tyrone managed to brake in time. "Are you out of your mind?" Matilda clutched the collar of her shirt. She realized how reckless she was, b
"Sorry." Tyrone could only suck it up. "Useless." Despite Belinda's snide remark, she was overjoyed that Matilda didn't come. She didn't need to deal with Matilda, and the latter wouldn't get to see that tiny apartment she lived in. Ysabella came home at the same time too. She noticed Belinda's displeased expression. "Where are Matilda and Dave?" "Why don't you ask your good-for-nothing husband?" "What happened, Tyrone? Did you say something that pissed Matilda off?" confronted Ysabella. "If only that was true!" Belinda didn't give Tyrone a chance to explain. "Your Tyrone had the amazing idea of leaving Matilda high and dry at the train station. She waited for two hours before heading back. He even feigned innocence before me just now." Ysabella couldn't believe what she heard. When Tyrone proposed to help her yesterday, she was moved. But it turned out to be an empty promise. He didn't even show up at the train station. Ysabella was so angry that she slapped Tyr
"Let me go!" Vania was mad. She flailed her arms about but couldn't pry away from Lucas's grip. "Are you still mad at me, Vania? Vanessa is just my friend." The onlookers gossiped among themselves. That excuse couldn't be more cliché. Looking around, Vania was so embarrassed that she wished the ground could open up and swallow her. Yesterday, Lucas and Vania agreed to go shopping. However, Lucas bailed at the last minute, citing that his family needed him. Being understanding, Vania did not mind it and decided to go alone. However, she ran into Lucas and Vanessa in a lingerie shop. They were both giggling and laughing like a normal couple. She was furious, of course. She charged inside and wanted to slap both of them for cheating. But Lucas saw her and dragged her to the street. Lucas then asked Vanessa to head back first to protect her. "Friends? Would you shop for bras with your female friends? You two are wearing matching outfits. I'm not dumb, okay?" "Vania, stop y
After Tyrone sent Vania back, he went home. But as soon as he stepped into his apartment, Ysabella dragged him by the ear to the bedroom. Yannick and Belinda were both surprised by the event. The couple had fought before, but it was never violent. The worst they had ever done was just a slap. Was Ysabella going to divorce Tyrone? Belinda was so excited that she texted Ysabella's childhood friend. She asked him when he would come back. "I'm coming back tomorrow, Auntie Belinda." The good news drove Belinda into ecstasy. Her sudden movement almost gave Yannick a heart attack. Meanwhile, Ysabella locked the bedroom and glared at Tyrone. "What did I do wrong again this time, Honey?" asked Tyrone meekly. He knew everyone was still pissed at him because of Matilda. "Isn't it obvious enough?" Tyrone knew this day would come. "Sorry, Honey! I shouldn't have stood Matilda up ..." "Don't change the topic now. I just put that whole debacle behind me," interrupted Ysabella.
Leopard and Tarzan did some warmup before sizing each other up. Usually, the round would begin almost immediately. But in front of those titans, Vincent dared not tell them what to do. "Long time no see, Tarzan." "Are you here for your revenge, Leopard? You know you can't defeat me." The crowd listened as the two friends reminisced about their past. Back in the day, they were both leaders of their respective gangs. But Leopard wasn't as strong as Tarzan. And so Teddy discarded him. Leopard was already at a disadvantage. Losing an arm didn't help with that. "Tarzan, you know what kind of man Teddy is. Why do you work for him? He can toss you away like he did to me." "You betrayed Teddy. It's not his fault. Cut the crap. I will rid him of a traitor today." The two enemies glared at each other. Vincent backed off, not wanting to be caught in the crossfire.Leopard took a deep breath. Winning was his only option. He threw a straight cut. Its force was not weakened by h
Upon exiting the underground boxing ring, Tyrone and Grinch got into the car. "Head to Aurumare," said Tyrone as he peered at the shopping complex via the rearview mirror. "We are not waiting for Leopard?" asked Grinch. Knowing the feud between Teddy and Leopard, Leopard might not survive the meeting. Was Tyrone giving up on Leopard now? "Leopard can manage. We don't have anything to do here." It was a gamble for Tyrone. He hoped that Leopard would fetch him good news soon. After half a day, a black sedan drove into Aurumare. Leopard and Tyrone gathered in a hidden room. "Good job, Leopard. How's your wounds?" inquired Tyrone. Leopard's swollen face suggested that he would need at least weeks to recover. "Still alive. Tyrone, I won the match. I won Teddy's trust. What's next?" Leopard grew impatient. During the meeting with Teddy just now, Teddy made sure to mention Leopard's missing arm and dead comrades. It was humiliating. But Leopard endured it and mustered a sm
Tyrone stood outside of Forward Cosmetics' flagship store. As expected of a successful brand, the decor looked elegant, and it was teeming with customers. As the forerunner in the fashion industry, Forward not only sold makeup products but also dabbled in clothing and beauty services. It had more than 300 subsidiaries in Rogbow. Each of them was so successful that they were the key players in the local economic development. Just when Tyrone was thinking about how much bigger Teddy's company would be, someone shoved him from the side. "Who is this poor loser? Fuck off." It was a young man wearing branded clothes and a luxury watch. Even his hairstyle screamed expensive. Next to him was a beautiful woman. Both wore disgusted expressions. Not wanting to stoop to their level, Tyrone made way for them. Besides, Ysabella also told him that she didn't want him to get into another fight. The young man grew cockier when Tyrone conceded to him. Meanwhile, the beautiful woman sei
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
