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

    A scream rang out."There's an assassin!""Protect Ms. Mariposa!"The bar devolved into chaos as people shouted in fear. Some were enraged and went to look for the assassin, forming a human wall of defense and shielding Mariposa behind them.Everyone became suspicious, and people looked at those around them warily.Yet Tyrone knew that all this worry was pointless. Since the assassin's attempt had been unsuccessful, he had already merged into the crowd and slipped into the bathroom.A team of security guards finally rushed over to disperse and control the crowd. Many of the spectators were enraged. Of course, they weren't the assassin. They were all Mariposa's dedicated fans! They had never imagined that they would be treated this way!The leader of the security team came forward and said in self-censure, "Ms. Mariposa, I'm so sorry! Someone told me there was a disagreement at the entrance of the bar, so I went there for a look …" Mariposa raised a hand and cut him off. She

    After Tyrone was sure that no one was following him, he hailed a cab. He felt quite annoyed. He thought that Mariposa was very petty to have someone follow him. And for what? All for a useless piece of fabric she had gifted?It was very late by the time he got home.Lately, Belinda and Yvan had stopped making trouble. After they got tricked into losing their money, they always hid in their rooms after dinner.After opening the door quietly, Tyrone found that Ysabella still hadn't gone to sleep. She was lying in bed, reading a book."Honey, I'm home!" But his call was ignored, so Tyrone sheepishly went and laid out his sheets on the floor. When he moved past the bed, Ysabella sniffed and looked at Tyrone strangely. "Where did you go, coming home so late?""Ah, there was a problem at the company, so I stayed overtime," Tyrone said guiltily. Didn't he tell her during the phone call this afternoon? Why was Ysabella asking about it now?"Alone? Mr. Rivers wasn't with you?"Tyrone g

    The next day, when Tyrone was getting ready to go to work, Ysabella followed behind him."Are you busy today?" she asked.Tyrone turned back and found Ysabella looking left and right uncomfortably. Her right hand brushed her bangs. It was obvious that she had something to say but was too embarrassed to say it.She had a meeting to discuss a contract later. The way the person had sounded on the phone had made Ysabella very uncomfortable. That was why she had immediately thought of Tyrone."I'm not busy. I just nod off when I'm at work.""How could you mess around so much at your job?" Ysabella got mad when she heard Tyrone say that. She understood what a security guard's job entailed. There weren't many security problems at the company. At most, he checked the cars going in and out. Then, he could slack off.But that was another thing. Tyrone wasn't very capable in the first place. He only had this security guard job because of his friend Emerson, who had arranged for him to wor

    "Mr. Channing, I'm so sorry. This is all my fault!" Ysabella was angry and anxious as she jogged over. But before she could take more than two steps, Tyrone caught her gently from behind. "Honey, let me!" Without a word, Tyrone stepped up and lifted Conrad from the ground in the most impolite and rough manner.If it weren't for what Ysabella might think. Tyrone would have gotten even more violent with this vile old man who had designs on his wife. Conrad's glasses went back on his nose, and Conrad himself stood back up. It was then that Conrad noticed Ysabella had brought a man with her."Ms. Vaughn, could you please explain what's going on?" Conrad's tone was very displeased. He hadn't come here to talk business with an insignificant company."I'm very sorry, Mr. Channing. He is … our company's security guard." After thinking about it, Ysabella still didn't dare say that Tyrone was her husband. After all, it was highly inappropriate to bring a family member to a business meetin

    Tyrone chuckled and said, "Ms. Vaughn, I just realized that I remembered it wrong. I left the gear at the company!"Ysabella didn't want to listen to Tyrone's bullshit. Her expression was frosty. She felt that this was as laughable as being played. "Get out! We don't need you here!"She was enraged. She had been too hasty in bringing Tyrone here. Not everyone was as horrid as Rodrick. Tyrone did nothing other than cause trouble and waste time chatting! Keeping him here would only make things worse."Ms. Vaughn, give me another chance! My job is to stick close to you and protect you, so I can't leave for even a second! If I just leave, I'll be fired!" Tyrone said."What does it matter to me whether you're fired?" Ysabella wasn't giving in because of that.Tyrone could only give Conrad a look."Ms. Vaughn, please let the man stay on account of how responsible he is!" Conrad said. He felt horrible, but he could only tolerate the pain and not show any hint of it on his face. To s

    In the next few days, Tyrone was busy with the matter of the Horizon Corporation. On the one hand, he had to make it seem like Horizon was going to take over Tergot Tech. On the other hand, he also had to turn Horizon into a tool for his retaliation.Tyrone was so busy that he couldn't handle it. It was so annoying. Vergil and Connor must have somehow heard about his troubles because they volunteered to come over to help. Unexpectedly, they managed to handle the situation perfectly. "Ty, there's a letter for you!" Emerson came inside, waving a letter. Vergil's nose twitched as he unconsciously sniffed the air. Following the scent, his gaze fell on the letter. "It's the smell of jasmine! Ty, you're already a married man; why are you going around seducing little girls?" Vergil leered as he started imagining things because of the letter. "Do you think I have the time for that? Let me look!" Tyrone took the letter, which had a light, familiar scent to it.As he tore open the

    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
