Seeing Warrick break Theo's leg, everyone was stunned. Some of them had witnessed how Warrick defeated Amos. The rumors about him being weak were false. The rich had already recognized Warrick as physically strong. Because of that, the members of The Orchid Combine chose to harass Aelish and Damian to avoid a direct fight with Warrick. "I-If you act up one more time," Tristan took a step back as Warrick approached him. "I'll have those thugs kill Aelish!"Tonny was calling the thugs as a warning to Warrick. "We don't play games. With one order from us, your wife will die!" he threatened in a serious tone.But Warrick did not seem to care. Instead, he retorted, "You should at least hire a high-end assassin. Those thugs won't be able to touch my wife."Irritated at being belittled, Oscar grabbed Tonny's cell phone to give orders. "Kill Aelish at any cost! Don't think about what will happen next. I'll take full responsibility!"The sound of someone sprinting and his heavy breathing was
Amos knew Aelish was in the penthouse. Since the door would not open, he had no choice but to break it down. Blade's bark was heard everywhere as soon as he stepped inside.Looking around, he asked, "Where's Warrick?"Aelish gave Blade the code to calm down. She had to know what Amos was coming for."He's not here. What is your business? I will tell him once he gets home.""I need to see him. Get him here right now!"Jill was prepared in case Amos raised his hand to Aelish. But from the start, Amos showed no sign of using his fists. It seemed like he had only come to meet Warrick. As such, he did not care about Aelish or Jill. "I can't do that," Aelish pointed at the door. "Come later if you want to see him."But Amos stayed where he was. "You can't read the situation. I need to see your husband right now because he's been making trouble with Sir Aaron!"Hearing that, Jill choked on her saliva and coughed in surprise. Before coming to Aelish, she had read the news about Aaron on the
Brianna asked someone to take Malene away while she signaled Amos to enter the orphanage. The children hid and peeked to see him. They must have been wondering who the strange man was. "What's your business?" asked Brianna, her tone still calm. Amos needed time to answer. His attention was drawn to the twists and turns of the orphanage building. He hoped to find memories of his childhood but failed.No matter how hard he tried, the memories of him living in the orphanage still did not appear. All he remembered was he was about seven years old when he was freed from his abusive parents. After that, his memories became vague. Even the memory of Grace abusing him was not clear. He suspected that his memory loss was due to trauma. This made him hate Grace even more."I asked you a question," Brianna spoke up again because she was getting ignored by the man behind her. "If you don't have anything to say, you can leave."Amos quit to stare at the ceiling that was partially damaged by rai
Amos was speechless for a few moments as he was shocked by Hardy's statement. All this time, he had thought of Aaron as his savior and trusted him more than anyone else.If he had not gone to the orphanage, he would have killed Hardy for accusing Aaron. His way of thinking had changed because of the letter.His memories had not fully returned. He would get a headache every time he tried to recollect. But there was one memory that came vividly to his mind.It was the moment Grace received a bite of cake from Amos while they were having a picnic. Although it had been a long time ago, a feeling of joy still filled Amos' heart when he recalled it."Manipulating my memory...?"Hardy nodded, slightly relieved as the pressure of Amos' dagger on his neck eased. "I don't know the details. But back then, Sir Aaron told me to implant false memories. I concocted a drug that messed with your mind.""It worked?""Not at first. While you were under the influence, I kept telling you that Grace used t
"Aaron manipulated my memories," Amos chose to explain his background. "He used a drug that messed with my mind and implanted false memories. That's why I think of Grace as a bad person."Warrick had expected Aaron to brainwash Amos into hating his mother, so he was not surprised. "Do you believe my mom isn't a bad person now?""Yes. I went to the orphanage and found out that I was close to Grace. The effects of the drug made me unable to remember anything. But I believe she's not the person I thought she was."Amos handed the letter he had been holding to Warrick. Guilt was evident in his gaze. The trigger for Grace's death was Amos. That was an unchangeable fact. If Warrick got angry and threw him out, he promised he would not defend himself.However, Warrick digested every word in the letter calmly. The Legendary Patient title really helped him. His emotions were more stable so he could understand the situation with a cool head."What happened after this letter was written?" Amos
Two days later, Warrick held an alliance meeting in an old mansion in Listiera City owned by the Silent Shadow Bureau. He came with Aelish and Damian.His reason for bringing Aelish was to introduce her to the problems they would face. Even if they were separated, The Orchid Combine would still be hunting Aelish.With that in mind, Warrick decided to get Aelish to the meeting. The alliance members had no complaint as long as they were not given the responsibility of guarding her."Am I late?" Ashton arrived five minutes after Warrick. There was no Killian, who usually accompanied him.Amos asked the members not to bring anyone to the meeting as he had a trust issue. No one objected because the underworld bosses also preferred to discuss without bringing their subordinates.It would save time. If many people were present, there would be different opinions arising when discussing plans."I just arrived too," Warrick invited Ashton to sit down. "Thank you for coming, even though I said I
Warrick did not help Aelish to defend herself as she could have done. He changed the topic from the Nerelart family to the corruption case."I've already gotten evidence of Mayor Atheria's corruption with Kaden and Hugo's help. Sky Vision will receive more evidence of corruption later. But I'll save that for later."Zachary nodded in agreement. Because of his job, he often paid attention to what was happening on social media. "It's not good if we expose that now. Cassius' party can wipe out the traces on the internet before the campaign period arrives.""That's right," Hugo said. "We should reveal the evidence when the election is approaching. That way, Cassius' party won't have time to clean it up.""But won't Mayor Atheria say anything?" asked Damian, worried the plan might not go as intended.The question was met with a loud laugh from Lacey. Although everyone glared at her, she did not apologize."I know Oliver Madsen. He's a stupid mayor. There's nothing to worry about because he
The Nerelart family rented a five-star restaurant to hold their monthly meeting. All members had to attend without exception.Everyone seemed to be enjoying their dinner. But Iris could read the uneasy expressions of some family members."Scott, what are you thinking about?"The question made everyone stop eating. They shifted their gazes to Scott, who immediately showed a shocked face."T-Turns out you can look over my anxiety," Scott replied nervously, distressed by the attention. "I just got out of the hospital. You know Warrick beat me up at the party. I'm anxious at the thought of him coming after me."Iris narrowed her eyes, making Scott even more nervous. But she quickly put an end to the stressful atmosphere."Take it easy. That crazy man won't bother you. As long as you're loyal to the Nerelart family, you will be protected."With those words, everyone went back to eating. Scott thanked Iris and tried to show a happy expression.Iris held loyalty in high regard. She would not
