Scott couldn't hold it any longer and shot back at her, "If Victor Voss had succeeded in killing me yesterday, how did you intend to get your money back? Answer me, woman!"Matilda huffed and calmly wiped the stains on her lips off before retorting, "Your father may not see you as his son and may have ousted you out of your family, but that doesn't mean you'll get nothing from him when he dies.""And if you happen to die before him, I'm sure he'd give me your pension.""A shame then because you'll never get your hands on my pension. You know why? Because you are likely to die before me!" Scott harrumphed in disdain.Matilda noisily threw down her cutlery as she yelled loudly, "Scott William, how dare you curse me! Have I not done enough being your wife for more than 25 years? How much is your pension that I do not deserve, you stingy rascal!"The veins on Scott's forehead became very visible as he screamed back at her."Why do you talk like I'm the only one who made our marriage insuf

As Chloe hurried to the conference room, she took out her phone to go through the information Ann sent to the hotel's WhatsApp group.After she was done going through it, she pushed the door open and walked in."Good morning, I'm so sorry to have kept you waiting," she apologized as soon as she walked in and took her stand in front of the projector.All this without looking at the people in the room."Who are you?"Chloe raised her eyes to see two men and a woman sitting across from her. The men seemed to be the woman's assistants, judging by how poised and sharp they looked, and how the woman nonchalantly buried her eyes in her phone.Chloe clasped her hands together and said calmly, "Mr. Cruz is away on a trip at the moment, and he left me in charge of the hotel and its affairs."However, the men were even more dissatisfied upon hearing this."Oh, you must be the new assistant he hired.""New? Why would Mr. Cruz have someone who just joined his company attend to us? What happened t

"Why did you say you want to sell the supermarket again, Manager Cole?" Charles asked the supermarket manager as they walked through the kitchen items section.Martin Cole sighed heavily before responding."My supermarket was subsidized by the Lauthner family. They offered to retain me as the supermarket's manager on an hourly wage of 500 dollars.""When they subsidized the market, it mainly received attention from other big families because it was a subsidiary of the Lauthner family's company.""Now that they seem to have disappeared into thin air, I'm afraid the sales will decline, and I'll incur a huge loss if I continue running it. So, I plan to sell it off while it's still worth something."Charles stopped walking and turned to look at him."I've checked out the supermarket. I like it. My assistant should be waiting for you in your office already. He'll go through the contract you've prepared with my lawyers for an hour. After that, he'll bring it for me to sign.""I hope asking

Greg Button was a middle-aged man of average height and a sturdy build. The loose T-shirt he wore did nothing to hide the scary scorpion tattoo on his arm.But his scorpion tattoo wasn't the only scary thing about him. His face was bumpy, like the home of a termite. Plus, the hard frown made it difficult for people to look at him while speaking.However, Charles was unflinchingly staring right into his eyes; the impatience in his eyes was obvious.Charles was more impatient than Ethan and Kane put together, and the fact that these men were keeping him from concluding the purchase of his gift for the Commander's daughter was greatly pissing him off.He just wanted to beat them up and get this over with, but considering the kids watching him, he decided to exercise a little patience and see if they'd be open to reasoning.Greg's frown deepened when he saw Charles' fearlessness towards him.However, he said nothing to him and instead turned his attention to his nephew."What happened her

Vivian Martell stood at a distance, watching Charles and Claire exchange words. She was far from them, so she couldn't make out what they were saying.But the sight of him gently pulling the cheek of the little girl in Claire's arms and smiling at her playfully made her chest tighten in jealousy.The little girl didn't look more than six years old. Her age matched the exact years he went missing.Could it be he broke off his engagement with her because he already had a daughter with another woman? Could it be?After a few minutes of talking with Claire, Charles bade Honey goodbye and left the supermarket through the back.Claire knew it was enough shopping for the day and checked out with the things in their trolley.As she drove off in her car, Vivian, who was following her closely, frowned deeply.Her driver, who had seen her walk out of the supermarket looking worried, got out of the car and hurried to her side.Vivian clenched her fist tightly and asked without looking at him, "Wh

Inside the top floor of Astoria Corporation,Ethan had his legs on the table, his head thrown backward and his his eyes closed in relaxation.Josiah Haworth, on the other hand, stood inches away from his desk with his hands by his side as he reported the recent happenings in the city."President, the stock prices of Quantum Technologies, all three companies which belong to the Lauthner family, have immensely fallen after one of their workers leaked a company secret to their rival company.""Furthermore, not even one member of the Lauthner family can be found in Springdale as we speak."Ethan gently drummed his fingers on the armrest for a moment without opening his eyes, "What is a share in Quantum Technologies selling for now?""Used to be as much as 700 million dollars. Now it's $300,000 per share," Josiah retorted."High. Still very high," Ethan said, rubbing together his index finger and his thumb in a thoughtful manner."Keep checking the stock market. Once every executive in the

Inside the lounge, in a dimly lit VIP room, three men sat around a round table giving toasts to themselves and downing shots.Two of them were middle-aged men. The one who sat at the head of the table was wearing a white turtleneck with a gold chain dangling around his neck, a Rolex on his left hand, and a coat made with leopard hair around his shoulder. Half of his face was covered with a thick, full, and long gray-colored beard.The second middle-aged man, on the other hand, was just wearing a brown t-shirt and an expensive diamond necklace. He was clean-shaven and would hold his shot glass with both hands whenever the man with the full beard poured him a drink.The third one among them was Manager Khan. He had taken off his suit jacket and rolled up the sleeves of his white shirt. And just like the other two, his diamond necklace remained on his neck. He also held his shot glass with both hands whenever the man with the thick beard poured him a drink.The bearded man beamed hap

Khan knew how strong and heavy those men were because he had tried to wrestle them playfully a few times and never won. Yet, a man who was as lanky as him toppled them on each other with ease. Although he hadn't seen Ethan do it, but what else could've happened. "Wh-what? Don't just stay lying down. Get up and deal with this bastard!" He yelled at the hefty anxiously from where he stood. However, Ethan had knocked them unconscious. As a result, Khan didn't get a response from them. A chill ran down his spine and he shivered when Ethan suddenly glanced at him, subconsciously taking a step back in retreat.Ethan locked eyes with him and said blankly, "Go tell your boss what happened here." Khan was overwhelmed with extreme fear and dread that he didn't know when he nodded to Ethan's words and hurriedly rushed into the lounge. He ran and didn't stop until he got to the VIP room. He pushed the door open and stopped in front of them panting heavily. After he was done catching his b

Unable to use either of his arms, Declan curled into a ball, rolling around in pain as he lashed out bitterly.“You think the Wellington family will let this slide? I’m the head of this family! If anything happens to me, they’ll hold you accountable, you crazy punk!”Ethan turned, picked up another vase, and dropped it near Declan’s foot with a shrug.“You’ve done nothing but cause them panic. You’re so unstable with your decision-making that they fear you’ll drag the family into ruin just to fund one of your whims.”“In fact, I’m quite sure they’ll thank me for getting rid of you. Anyway, enough talk about them.”“Once I’m done crippling you, you’ll be reduced to nothing, bound to a wheelchair for the rest of your life.”“Hopefully, you’ll use what’s left of it to reflect on how you became a cripple. Now, hand me the other leg or would you prefer I do it roughly?”Declan blinked, clenching his jaw tightly against the raging pain in his arms. “No… you wouldn’t. You’re my brother. You

In an instant, Declan’s life flashed before his eyes. He reacted like any cornered man would by moving his hand.Unfortunately for him, Ethan anticipated it. He clamped down on his wrist and twisted it away from Chloe’s neck until she could safely slip out from underneath him.Once she was out of harm’s way, he threw caution to the wind and slammed his foot down on Declan’s hand, sending the dagger flying across the balcony.“You…” Declan stumbled back in horror, his eyes flickering between Ethan and his men.With his backup now useless, he knew he was no match for Ethan.So, without thinking twice, he turned and bolted.However…Snap!“Arghh!”Kane appeared out of nowhere, grabbed him by the arm, and twisted it.Snorting, he glared at Declan. “Your jaw’s moving too freely. If you don’t shut it this instant, I’ll break it.”Supporting his broken arm with the other, Declan gritted his teeth and looked ahead.With Kane now blocking his exit, he had to think fast.After a while, he clenc

Ethan glanced at the triplets. “Can you tell what will happen now?” The triplet on red was the first to speak up. “The helmsman isn’t reliable. If you take the deal, he will run and possibly take your daughter with him as insurance and kill her once he’s gotten to safety.” Ethan flashed him a tight smile. “Since when did you start thinking for me?” The triplet blinked in trepidation, quickly lowering his eyes to the ground. “Fo-forgive me, I didn’t get what your question was about.” Ethan glanced at the other two. “Can any of you tell what will happen once I accept Declan Wellington’s offer?” The triplet on black was silent while the one on green suddenly realized it, swallowing hard. “If he leaves, we won’t be of any use to you anymore. Then… you’ll have us dig our own graves.” Ethan nodded approvingly. “Excellent! I noticed you don’t talk too much. Your intelligence must be why. So since you know that now, what do you think should be my next move?” The triplet was hesi

The triplet on black began cackling almost immediately, his eyes darting to his siblings in disbelief. “This fella, isn’t he humorous? I don’t remember the last time I laughed this hard.” His brothers hummed in agreement, crossing their arms across their chest. “Young man, you should’ve pursued a career in comedy and stayed far away from trouble. Big shame that the world will miss a talent like you.” Ethan covered his mouth and yawned. “What is this? Don’t you three know how to do anything else besides talking and more talking? Not everyone has a lot of free time on their hands.” “I, for example, cherish my time more than anything as I’d rather spend it with my family than people like you.” The triplets stared at him in amusement. “I hope your last memory of them was a memorable one then, because today, this is where you’ll be dying.” “Before we kill you, I’ll tell you the truth. Whoever taught you didn’t teach you well. Just identifying the weakness of your enemies isn’t en

Charles, Chris and Penelope froze. Kane sat up inside the crane, his eyes pinned on the elderly man with a white goatee laughing behind Ethan. “You’re already so old, when will you stop running like that?” “Let him do as he likes. He only has a few years to continue moving that fast. Might as well make the best use of it now.” Everyone turned their eyes towards the direction of the second and third voices. Ethan furrowed his brows when he saw them. Triplets? All three og them had the same shiny head and trimmed their beards into a goatee, making it impossible to distinguish who was who. The only difference between them was the color of shirts they had on which ranged from blue, red and black. The triplet who had attacked Ethan had on a black shirt and was still cackling underneath his breath. The other two stood beside him and glanced up at Declan on the balcony. As soon as he saw them, his tense shoulders relaxed and so did his grip on the blade. “You asked for us, master

As soon as his words fell, some figures darted through the men and in an instant, they were all swept off their feet. Declan didn’t see this. When he waited for several seconds and didn’t see Ethan’s body riddled with dozens of bullets, his eyes darkened and he looked down at them again, ready to lash out, but saw them all on the ground, groaning and clutching onto their stomach in pain. “Wh-what do you think you’re doing? I didn’t say to roll all over the floor, I said to waste him, you dumb fools!” However, the men were in too much pain to care about his words. Charles, Penelope and Chris took their time to kick the guns away from their reach.As Penelope walked towards a bulky man whose gun was lying at his foot, he suddenly stretched his left hand to grab her by the neck, but she caught it, slammed her foot against his chest and twisted his arm, completely destroying his rotator cuff. Cold sweat instantly formed on his forehead as a painful shriek erupted from his lung. A t

“Who’s this brazen punk?” “If he’s so bold, why’s he hiding up there?” The men murmured amongst themselves as they stepped backward. Butler Ambrose glanced at the crane. The distance between him and it made it impossible to see the face of the man sitting inside. But he didn’t need to think too hard to know who it was. From what he had seen in the past few months, only one person would dare to make such a bold entrance. “Take out your weapons. Once Mr. Wellington gives the order, waste him!” He raised his voice and ordered his men, eyes still pinned on the moving crane. The men obliged, taking out their guns and aiming it at the machine. However, Kane merely paid a blind eye to them and went ahead to uproot the gate. Instead of driving into the vicinity, he remained at the gate and elongated the crane towards them, swinging it right and left at the men. He did this until the aim of every one of them was to get to safety. Taking advantage of this chaos, three figures stealthi

In the Wellington family residenceButler Ambrose led a cautious and haggard looking Chloe to the balcony where there were chairs and table arranged in a romantic manner. Leaning back on one of the chairs, Declan Wellington had one leg crossed on the other, sipping his wine with a satisfied smile. Hearing footsteps, he raised his eyes to see who it was. The second his eyes settled on her face, his cheeks stretched into a wide smile. “Chloe, you’re here!” Chloe clenched her fists tightly beside her, her eyes falling on the dozens of men crawling around the compound. Declan instantly followed her gaze.Sensing her worries, the man leaned forward to assure her, “You don’t have to worry about them. I’ll make sure they don’t hurt you. The only reason they’re here is to make sure no harm comes to me.” Chloe turned her eyes to him, instantly realizing the kind of person she was standing in front of him. Because she was born into a power hungry family, she spent her life with people fr

Knowing he was the most influential person in Wexford at the moment, Ethan hadn’t cleared out the restaurant since it’d attract attention. But a quick glance around the restaurant and Fitzroy and Annie Ashworth found the group they were looking for. However, they didn’t take another step forward and performed a practiced salute with a serious look on their faces. This sudden action of theirs stunned the other customers.“Who are those and what are they doing?” “Is it some kind of ritual? Or are they filming a movie? I don’t see a camera anywhere though.” “That salute… are they in the army? Does that mean there’s a high ranking army official in our midst right now?” “No way! I heard the Commander is in Wexford. Could they be saluting him? Does that mean he’s in the same room as me?” “Hey, that is too far off. Look at their clothes. It doesn’t look ordinary. That insignia, isn’t that the royal family’s?” “What do you know? Don’t you know members of the royal family of Wexford se
