"Sorry to interrupt, but I need to take this call." Emerson pointed at his phone.

"Sure."

Emerson then left Joe alone in the office and took the call outside.

Meanwhile, Joe thought that Emerson was being way too courteous. This was Emerson's office. Emerson didn't need to excuse himself to take a call.

And Emerson's soft-spoken attitude also reminded Joe of Tyrone. One was a successful businessman, while the other was ... a piece of trash.

Regardless, Joe's mind was set on acquiring Sky High. He couldn't care less about Tergot Tech.

Just imagine all the things he could do once Ysabella became his secretary. Haha!

Outside, Emerson went to a quiet room and called Tyrone.

"Emerson! Any news about Teddy?" asked Tyrone straight away. He didn't come to the office today because he had to see Laurent first.

Fearing that Joe would confront Laurent, Tyrone figured he should buy Laurent's silence.

And it cost only 5 million dollars. Laurent was all too happy to receive the sum.

    For the next few days, Joe didn't come to bother Ysabella.No picking her up from work. No sudden visit. Nothing.Ysabella was enjoying the peace, though she still ignored Tyrone most of the time."Stop picking me up from work with your rundown Volkswagen. It's embarrassing." She went home with Tyrone a few days ago because Joe was pestering her. Now that Joe was gone, Ysabella wanted to keep her distance from Tyrone.Tyrone sucked it up and left his car by the roadside. He then walked home with Ysabella.And at dinner, Belinda finally let it rip. "Tyrone, what have you done? Joe stopped talking to us. Why? Why would you ruin our bright financial prospects?"Belinda was so pissed that she no longer felt hungry.She called Joe many times, but Joe turned her down by saying that he was busy. What could possibly be more important than Ysabella?He gave them money, a car, and an expensive necklace. Everything screamed "Let's get married" and then it was nothing?"Mom, it's not Ty

    Only Tyrone and Ysabella remained in the living room. Tyrone didn't punch Belinda in the face because Belinda was his mother-in-law. Otherwise, he would have definitely done that. Either way, Tyrone managed to calm down. He was glad that Ysabella's slap brought him back to his senses. If he revealed his true identity, Belinda would be happy, but Ysabella would grow resentful. That's because she had suffered so much during the past three years. Now wasn't the good time for the ultimate revelation. On the other hand, Ysabella was also deep in her thoughts. She didn't know why she slapped Tyrone just now. Was it because she was afraid of a divorce? No, it couldn't be. She had already long accepted the fact that they were not meant for each other. At night, both of them couldn't fall asleep. "Tyrone, you agreed to my mother's deal. Does that mean you are ready to get a divorce?" "Huh?" Tyrone turned to look at Ysabella. "Otherwise, why did you agree to my mothe

    Emerson's secretary knocked on the door after five minutes. "Come in!" said Emerson without lifting his head. He was busy cleaning the desk. Joe was wearing his friendly demeanor when he walked in. But when he noticed the leftover breakfast on Emerson's desk, as well as Tyrone, his expression darkened. "Mr. Joe, we meet again," exclaimed Tyrone. Emerson finally realized that he should be meeting with Joe now. "Mr. Rivers, why is he here?" "Tyrone? He's my childhood friend. We were having breakfast together. Take a seat," answered Emerson. Joe was panicking. His plan was to use Emerson to get rid of Tyrone. Since Tyrone was Emerson's childhood friend, things would be complicated for Joe. "I see. Please proceed. I'll visit you another day." "No, stay, stay. He knows nothing about this company. Pretend he isn't here." Emerson got into his character now. He lightly shoved Tyrone. "Make way for Mr. Joe now." Seeing how Emerson kicked Tyrone around like a ball, Joe felt

    Tyrone already began investigating Joe's background the moment Belinda said Joe was scheduled to fly back. To his surprise, Joe left Cleyton when Teddy was at his lowest point in life. And then, rumors had it that Teddy's son died in a car accident. It could all be a coincidence, but Tyrone didn't want to leave any stone unturned. "Ty, what do we do now?" Emerson was still worried about Tyrone's bet. They had the money. Now, they needed an excuse that worked. "You'll be busy real soon." "Huh?" Emerson was confused. Tergot Tech was quite stable for a company. Emerson could take a few days off, and it wouldn't implode. "Have you forgotten what Joe left us?" Emerson checked the surroundings. He shook his head. "He didn't leave us anything." Tyrone rolled his eyes. "He said we could use his network. Why don't we take advantage of it?" Emerson had an epiphany. Joe came to him to discuss a possible partnership. And that meant Joe must have told his other business partner

    "Give it back!" Ysabella tried to snatch the document from Tyrone's hands, as if it was her secret. "Why did you take out a loan, Ysabella?" It seemed like the cat was out of the bag. "It's none of your business. Get 500 thousand dollars now, or don't bother going home." Ysabella was panicking. She thought yelling at Tyrone would scare him away. But this time, Tyrone did not concede. He approached her. "I have the money. Explain the loan now." "Impossible!" Ysabella wondered why she reacted so hastily. "Tyrone, my mom is not going to forgive you unless you present her with the money. I know she can be unreasonable, but you can just apologize sincerely. I'm sure she will let this slide. 500 thousand dollars is a lot, you know?" Ysabella refused to believe that Tyrone could find 500 thousand dollars in a day. He must be bluffing. "I will not apologize to Belinda," said Tyrone sternly. He was angry. He knew Belinda was serious about the deal. Tyrone had seen her true fac

    "Ms ... Ms. Vaughn!" The woman fell to the ground. "Priscilla, just go." "Thanks, Ms. Vaughn. Thank you." Once Priscilla left, there were only three of them in the room. "Ms. Vaughn, you could have told me that you would visit!" "Mr. Rhode, when will you wire me the money?" Ysabella cut to the chase. "Oh, look at me. I'm getting forgetful." "Forget it. Mr. Rhode, I'm here to nullify the contract. Please take out your part of the IOU." Quentin's face turned sour. The plan he had was falling apart. Yes, Quentin did agree to lend Ysabella money. But he didn't specify when. He thought he could use that as leverage to bend Ysabella to his will. Quentin looked at Tyrone and said, "Ms. Vaughn, you brought an outsider with you. Shouldn't we keep this between us?" Ysabella wanted to clarify that Tyrone wasn't an outsider, but Tyrone spoke before she could. "Ms. Vaughn, I should leave you two alone." Tyrone knew that he would be a hindrance there. Ysabella nodded. T

    Tyrone was worried about Ysabella's foot injury. He brought her to a nearby clinic for treatment before heading back. The distance between the company and their home wasn't much. It was only a little more than a mile. Ysabella was leaning on Tyrone's back. She was light as a feather. They talked on and off. The atmosphere between them wasn't as awkward as before. It was already 10 pm when they reached the entrance of their home. "You can put me down now."Tyrone didn't comply. He said while taking out his keys, "The doctor said that you need two days of bed rest. You should only walk after a week …""I'm not a cripple! I can still stand on my own."Tyrone ignored her and opened the door. As he stood at the door, Belinda was on the phone in the living room. "It's a pity you couldn't come yesterday, Joe. Tyrone is a fool. I don't know why he even dared to make a bet of 50 thousand dollars. It's already 10 pm, and he still isn't back. I bet he doesn't dare to show his face

    "Hello? Aunty?"Joe accepted the call. He felt confused and somewhat unhappy. He had just gotten off the phone with Belinda. Why had she called again so soon?"Joe, I have a question for you. Did you really write a check worth 500 thousand dollars for Tyrone? Were you tricked by him?"Joe felt his head throb. He couldn't believe that Tyrone had exposed him. "Aunty, I did write that check. But I wasn't tricked into doing it."Joe did have the urge to say that Tyrone had scammed him. But he wasn't stupid. If he admitted that he had been tricked, it would be the same as saying he had been dumb enough to fall for it.Everyone knew Tyrone was a piece of trash. If news got out that Joe had been tricked by Tyrone, he would become a laughing stock. Joe couldn't allow that to happen. "Are you sure you weren't tricked? Think carefully about this, Joe. This money is very important." Belinda hinted anxiously. She had just spoken to him about the bet. Why wasn't he picking up on that?

    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.

    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
