"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?

    Suddenly, realization struck the real estate agents. They quickly adjusted their attire and anxiously ran out the door to welcome the owner of the sports car. This could be an important customer. Even if he bought the cheapest unit, the commission would be worth a few thousand dollars. They were determined to get the customer for themselves. A crimson sports car screeched to a halt at the entrance of the sales office. The people in the car sighed in relief. They were still coming off the high of driving a fancy car. "That feels great! A normal car can't even hold a candle to a sports car!" Luna, who sat in the front passenger seat, had been excited since last night. Soon, she'll be buying a villa too. That was the life! The driver was none other than Tyrone's brother-in-law, Yvan."I'll buy anything for you, as long as you like it," Yvan said with the air of a successful person.That was the reason why Luna had brought up Silverpeak Gardens to Yvan as soon as they had gotte

    Tyrone was already used to the insults. He picked his ears and ignored them. "Are you done? If you're done, go and buy your house," Tyrone said. The smile on Yvan's face faded. He even started to wonder if there was something wrong with Tyrone's ears or brain. Just last night, 500 thousand dollars had been snatched away from him. Over half of it had already been spent. It seemed like that hadn't been enough of a blow for Tyrone. Seeing that, Yvan decided to spend it all. Tyrone wouldn't be able to keep his cool then!"Are you unhappy that I called you a loser? Might as well. I'll teach you a lesson on Joe's behalf after I buy a house." Yvan then waved his hand and said, "Show me the best house you have. I'll take it!" He took out his card and slammed it on the table. He was confident in the amount of money he had. After all, there were still 300 thousand dollars on the card. It had to be enough to buy a house.Justin and the other real estate agents held their breaths i

    Yvan drove away in his Ferrari. The sound of the car faded into the distance. Justin was the most upset in the office. He punched the air and said, "I thought he was rich because he drove a sports car. I didn't expect him to be unable to afford even the cheapest villa!"Yvan, was it? Don't let me see you again! I won't let you off easy next time!" He didn't mind not being able to close a sale. The thing that upset him was how he had been deceived. He had almost lost control earlier. If Yvan hadn't driven away, he would have gone out and taken his anger out on the car.Justin then looked at Tyrone angrily and said, "Why are you still here, loser? Do you think you have more money than Yvan? One's a liar, the other is broke! Sure enough, birds of a feather flock together."Julie, send that man away now. Or else I'll call security for you."Julie felt like she was stuck between a rock and a hard place. She didn't want to chase a customer away, even if Tyrone was just browsing a

    Yvan was crying, and so was Belinda. They were both crying profusely. "Mom, Yvan. What's wrong? Did you lose money?"They cried even harder when they heard Ysabella's question. After Yvan and Luna had left the sales office, they had quickly gone to the nearest motel. They had enjoyed themselves in bed for quite a while. But Yvan hadn't expected what happened next. Luna had brought two drinks, and he had drank them without hesitation. Then, his limbs had gone limp. He hadn't even been able to shout. He hadn't been able to do anything but watch as Luna took his bank card and his car keys. The worst thing was that he and Belinda had agreed to put the car in Luna's name when they had bought it. Yvan had only regained the feeling in his limbs after an hour or so. He had quickly gone to the bank to check, only to find that all the money was gone.He had rushed over to the apartment Luna had rented. But her roommates had informed him that she had moved out just 30 minutes ago.

    Three days later, Tergot Tech received shocking news. "Come take a look, Ty. It's a message from NimbusWave Solutions. Their chairman, Mr. Maverick, wants to work with us!" Emerson called Tyrone to the office early in the morning. He even treated Tyrone to mac and cheese for breakfast. "Another overseas company?" Tyrone was munching on his mac and cheese as he thought about how familiar the name "Maverick" sounded. "It's not an overseas company. The company is from Cleyton. It's the eighth-largest company in the city! Mr. Maverick is also a Cleytonite. The name is something he came up with when he went overseas to study."Then, he kept using it even after he came back. At this point, people have already forgotten his real name!" It was apparent that Emerson idolized Maverick. Maybe he even worshiped him. It was to be expected. Emerson had taken inspiration from NimbusWave Solutions when Tergot Tech had been founded. The core structures of the two companies were identical

    Maverick took a huge sip of tea in an attempt to calm down. "There are bound to be disagreements. But you can rest assured. I hereby guarantee that our company will never take advantage of you. Nor will we make outrageous demands." Maverick was confident that his words would throw them off guard. "But …"Tyrone pretended to be worried and said, "This kind of thing has happened before. Two companies that we had just partnered with. They tried to scam Tergot Tech right after the partnership was formed." Emerson was confused. He had an easy time working with Anthony and Lars. Since when had they scammed Tergot Tech? "Mr. Hendrick, you must be talking about Solaris Energy Corp and Seven Seas International. Rest assured, we're the eighth-biggest company in the city. We will never use underhanded tricks. We have an image to maintain."The most important thing to me as a businessman is my reputation. I'm only human, but I try to do my best to be guilt-free."Maverick grunted to h

    "I'm the one asking the questions! Tell me everything you know about Teddy!" Tyrone was toying with the porcelain piece. He was relying on it to bend Maverick to his will. As expected, Maverick was scared of the porcelain piece. He didn't even dare give it a second look.Maverick trusted that Teddy would protect him. But what about when his hands were useless? Based on Teddy's ruthlessness, he was sure that Teddy would just cast him aside like a useless pawn. He only had one option. "Although Teddy is my backer, I don't know much about him. I only know that he frequents Callady Bar on Oakridge Lane. He's there almost every weekend." "Is this all you know?" Emerson asked in an impatient tone. "I don't know much! Another thing, he likes to smoke HarvestHaze-brand cigarettes. Also, he enjoys it when someone watches him."These were all unimportant personal habits. Maverick didn't think they were important enough to be mentioned. "So he likes to go to Callady Bar." Tyro

    Maverick shivered as he looked around. He took a deep breath in an attempt to calm himself. Only after that did he answer the call."Mr. Maverick, was the task completed successfully?"Joe naturally didn't know what had happened at Tergot Tech. According to the report of one of his men, Maverick had exited Tergot Tech, which was why he'd called to ask about the situation."Mr. Miller, although there was a slight hitch, the task was carried out successfully. Emerson Rivers really wanted to partner with their small little company!""What hitch?""It's that useless son-in-law of the Vaughn family. I told him off a little, but he actually dared to injure my hand! Fuck him!" For a greater, more believable effect, Maverick prodded the injury, hurting himself so that he gasped.Joe scoffed. "That Tyrone Hendrick is really asking for trouble. How dare he offend the eighth-greatest company in the city! Don't worry, I will avenge you!" If it weren't for the fact that Maverick was just a

    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
