Boss Chains sat impatiently on the chair, waiting for Jayson to arrive. An hour passed, but there was no sign of him. None of their texts had been answered either."I can't believe he's not showing up," Boss Chains muttered angrily, grinding his teeth. Fueled by rage, he vowed to triple Jayson's torture, refusing to let him die easily. He instructed his men to wait, determined to make Jayson pay for his defiance.As the night wore on and the clock struck 3 am, the gatekeepers retired for the night. It was then that Boss Chains finally realized he had been fooled. Jayson had never intended to come at all."Boss, what should we do? He's ignoring our calls and messages," Anna, the woman who had given Jayson the message, exclaimed in frustration. Her feet ached, and exhaustion weighed heavy on her."Humph! Let's go!" Boss Chains snarled, his anger burning in his chest. He turned abruptly and stormed away with his men.As the sun emerged from the sky, casting its warm rays upon the island,
Boss Chains paced back and forth at his gate, consumed by anger. He eagerly awaited the moment Jayson would be lured there, his mind already plotting the brutal fate that awaited him. But as the hours ticked by, neither Anna nor Jayson appeared. Frustration twisted his features, and he balled his hands into fists.Just as he was about to dial Anna's number, a panting underling rushed over and delivered the news. "Boss, Anna has been taken to the clinic."Shock coursed through Boss Chains, his eyes widening in disbelief. He berated his underling, unable to comprehend what he had just heard. "What are you talking about? Why is Anna in the hospital? Did she confront that scumbag?"The underling shook his head vigorously, his voice trembling. "No, Boss. Anna fainted due to shock."face drained of colour upon hearing the explanation. He clenched his jaw, a mix of worry and anger coursing through him. Determination etched itself into his features as he commanded his underling, "Take me ther
Jayson's heart pounded in his chest as he heard the loud thud, followed by Elena's desperate cry for help. "Help me, Jayson," her voice echoed through the phone before abruptly cutting off. Shock washed over him, his mind racing to comprehend the situation. He muttered Elena's name, his eyes widening in fear.Instinctively, Jayson reached for his phone and tucked it into his pocket. However, as he turned to rush towards their room, a realization hit him like a wave. If he hurried over there, he would be walking right into the clutches of their captors. They had targeted Elena to lure him in, and it would be foolish to recklessly play the hero. A surge of panic swept over him, but he quickly regained his composure.Taking a deep breath, Jayson made a crucial decision. He knew he needed to think strategically and not fall into the tiger's trap. Instead of heading towards their room, he turned on his heels and swiftly made his way towards the manager's office. Manager Cane, a man who rel
Jayson's question left the caller in stunned silence, causing him to question whether he had dialed the correct number. He pulled the phone away from his ear and stared at the screen, confirming it was indeed Jayson's number. A cold expression washed over his face, and he angrily threatened, "You son of a bitch! If you don't arrive at the gate this instant, prepare to witness your wife's lifeless body."Anticipating Jayson to apologize and plead for mercy, the caller was taken aback when he heard nothing but a beep, indicating that Jayson had ended the call. Shocked, his jaw dropped open, and he directed a furious glare at Elena, who was bound to a chair with a gag in her mouth.He motioned to the two armed men standing behind Elena, and one of them promptly removed the gag from her mouth. The man, visibly surprised, asked, "Is he truly your husband? Or did you pay him to pose as your plus one?" He couldn't fathom why Jayson wasn't reacting more strongly to his wife's kidnapping.Elen
Confronting Lugard was an arduous task, especially with the formidable Wilson family of Jade City and Gabby by his side. Without the backing of the Kingston Blacks, Boss Chains would never have summoned the courage to challenge Lugard."You're lying!" Boss Chains roared, his voice filled with a mixture of fear and anger. "How could the wife of a trash like him have such powerful support?"Lugard's expression turned icy, his patience with Boss Chains wearing thin. With a decisive tone, he commanded, "Search the premises.""Yes, boss!" Lugard's men responded in unison, surging forward.Boss Chains' face contorted with defiance as he sneered, "Lugard, what do you think you're doing? Do I look like someone you can easily overpower?"Lugard raised an eyebrow in a disdainful manner before replying with a chilling voice, "Are you going to try and stop me?"Boss Chains clenched his jaw and fists, motioning to his men who stepped forward, forming a barrier against Lugard's advancing forces."I
Jason's face contorted with anger as he responded to the accusation. "Daniel, with what eyes did you see me sending people to kidnap your sister? Are you insane?"Lucy joined in, supporting Daniel's claims. "Jayson, if you hadn't provoked the kidnappers, would they have targeted my sister? Why are you refusing to accept responsibility for your actions?"Mrs. Wilson, breaking away from her embrace with Elena, fixed a fierce gaze upon Jayson. Her voice dripped with intensity. "Jayson, if you think you can escape the consequences of putting my daughter through all of this, you're sorely mistaken."Jayson's suspicion grew as he observed Mrs. Wilson, Daniel, and Lucy. They seemed to be plotting something, and Elena's lowered head only added to his unease.Suddenly, a car pulled up, and an elderly man emerged from it—the long-serving butler of the prestigious Wilson family. Jayson's expression darkened as realization washed over him.Butler John confidently stepped forward, his gaze sweepi
Jayson let out an exasperated sigh, his eyes rolling in frustration. Did he really expect a dungeon to be adorned like a paradise? Turning towards the Old Taoist Fairy, he pleaded, "Fairy Taoist, please, get me out of here."The Old Taoist Fairy's expression hardened, and he scolded Jayson sharply, "You impudent brat! Address me as Grandpa Taoist, not a fairy! You won't be leaving this place anytime soon, so you'd better get used to it. This is a wonderful abode." Jayson's face twitched, a mix of disbelief and annoyance etched across his features. He cursed his misfortune countless times for becoming entangled with such a befuddling golden finger. "Then why are you here?" Jayson asked weakly, his back resting against the grimy dungeon wall, his resignation evident.The Old Taoist Fairy paced in a circle, his hands clasped behind his back, and replied nonchalantly, "I am here to grant you one wish."Jayson's eyes gleamed with avarice. In his mind, the Old Taoist Fairy transformed fro
The prison guard hurriedly rushed to inform Old Mrs. Wilson about the situation. Bursting into her study, he breathlessly relayed the news, "Madame Wilson, the prisoner continues to yell incessantly, claiming he is starving."Old Mrs. Wilson turned her gaze towards the guard, her countenance etched with disapproval. "It is not yet time for dinner. Let him endure his hunger for a while longer."With a dismissive wave of her hand, Old Mrs. Wilson dismissed the guard, who reluctantly retreated from her presence. As he made his way back to the dungeon through the dimly lit underground tunnel in the mansion's basement, he suddenly heard another thunderous cry echoing from below, "I am hungry!"Startled, the guard's footing faltered, causing him to lose his balance and tumble down the ladder. He hit the floor with an audible thud, emitting a pained groan. Struggling to regain his composure, he rose to his feet, his face drained of colour. Hastily, he ascended the ladder and swiftly departed
