When she saw the tears on Chloe's face, Honey tried to wipe it off with her hands but the tears kept pouring down even heavily.

Frustrated and having no idea what was wrong and what to do, Honey also burst into tears.

But she didn't stop trying to wipe off the tears on Chloe's face as she said amidst tears, "Stop crying, Mommy. You're making Honey cry too."

"Hmm, who said mommy was crying? My eyelashes just caught a speck of dust in my eyes. It was hurting me." Chloe sniffled, dropping Honey on her bed and wiping off her tears with the back of her hands.

"But your eyes are all red." Honey refused to believe, crying even harder.

Honey clenched her jaw tightly and lowered herselt to the bed as well. Then she turned Honey to her and gently massaged the top of her head.

"When there's a speck of dust caught in your eyes, it tends to make your eyes red. It also makes you cry. So I really wasn't crying. It was just the dust."

"Really?" Honey raised her eyes to look into Chloe's face.

    Adam William returned to Stellar Corporation enraged.Lewis and members of the William family were standing in the reception anxiously waiting for him. When they saw him walk in, they quickly rushed to him.However, their bodies tensed when they saw the angry look in his eyes."You were right. That ungrateful brat refused my offer! How dare she turn me down and even say she doesn't wish to be part of the William family again? Does she think I'll grovel and beg her to come back just because I need her help!"Everyone retreated to their previous positions, visibly scared of how frightening he looked.Lewis waited for some time to pass before he strutted towards him and cautiously asked, "What happened, grandfather? Did Chloe turn you away?"Adam rubbed his eyes roughly with his fingers before huffing. "She did. She even said she doesn't want to be a part of the William family in the future. She didn't look remorseful for what she did to you. Call Chairman Haworth. I'll personally talk t

    "Don't touch that!""Drop it! I said to drop it!""No! Not that one! Stop!""Tell them to drop it. Tell him to drop it! Stop it!"Everyone kept yelling at the people from the bank as they carted away with anything and everything that looked valuable.Even the security couldn't stop them as they too came with their own security. At the end of the day, they stood in the middle of the now empty reception.The people from the bank had taken everything valuable and sturdy. Even chairs, desks, cushions, and tables weren't left out. The ones they left behind were the ones which had a crack or two on it."Grandfather, is this even legal? Can they really do this to us? Why aren't we doing anything to stop them from leaving?" Lewis asked all at once, terribly upset as he watched the men leave.Adam William briskly walked to Lewis, grabbed him by the shoulder, turned him around to face him, then raised his hand and smacked him hard across the face."Grandfather, what was that for?" Lewis gasped

    The thugs glanced at each other, hearing him, considering his words, but the leader of the thug who was flung backward got on his feet again and barked at them rashly."What do you think you're doing? Don't just stand there, kill those piece of shits!"The thugs hurriedly rushed towards Ethan, attacking him at the same time.However, they were just about to get close enough to stab him when they suddenly began flying through the air and landing roughly on their backs, their agonizing screams filling the whole area.Kane huffed irritably when he saw there was no one else left and walked towards one of them who was extremely bulked up, with muscles peeking out of the tight sweatshirt he was putting on.He stopped beside him and turned him over with his leg. The thug immediately recoiled when his eyes met his, and Kane's irritation only grew."Your performance was very disappointing. How many hours did you spend in the gym every day to build up your muscles?"However, the thug only crawl

    Kane flexed his arms as he eagerly walked towards the group of bulky men rushing towards Ethan. The first person to reach him slashed his dagger towards his face, but he evaded it by dodging to the side. Then he grabbed the hand holding the dagger and twisted it, whilst delivering a kick to the chest of another person behind him. Kane wanted to make it a little fun for himself by beating them up seriously, but when he realized he had beaten them all of up and none of them were getting up, he hissed and rubbed his nose in frustration. The thugs were clutching their abdomens and rolling all over the floor. They were bawling their eyes out like babies as rhe pain from their broken wrists seeped into every nerve in their body. Kane looked away from them and settled his eyes on the man who had brought the group. Raising his brows, he questioned coldly, “Is this it? Or are there more coming.” Diego Cohen stared at the scene before him in shock. These men were the best he had. The bes

    Chloe woke up groggily an hour earlier than she normally wakes up to Matilda’s shrill screaming coming from the living room. Honey’s teacher had sent Chloe a message just before she went to sleep last night saying Honey could to school between 8 and 9 that morning as the lesson for the upcoming competition was taking a toll on the children. Chloe checked the time to see it was an hour before 7 and sleepily got out of bed and hurriedly walked to Honey’s room. She heaved a relieved sign when she saw her little girl still fast asleep. She gently closed the door afterwards and went down the stairs to know why Matilda was trying to wake up the whole neighborhood.“Isn’t it too early to be shouting, mother?” Matilda was standing akimbo with her hands on her waist as she faced the staircase. Sitting in the dinning and drinking coffee while turning through the pages of the day’s newspaper was Scott. He refused to pay any attention to Matilda’s tantrum. “Yes, mother, I slept very late la

    When he saw that they were all staring at him without moving a muscle, he scoffed and righteously warned them again. "I'll say it again, if you don't go upstairs and start packing your things before the time I gave you elapse, I'll have my men throw them out into the street." Scott couldn't take his insolent and spiteful words any longer. So he walked out of the dining and towards him. When he was just an inch away from him, he stared him in the eyes and spat out. "Hey, Lewis William, I know I haven't been the best uncle to you over the years, but that doesn't mean I'm not your uncle. And as your uncle, you should respect me no matter what!" Lewis stared back at him for some seconds before a throaty and mocking laughter erupted from his throat and filled the room. Then he proceeded to close the space between them by taking two steps forward and placed a hand on Scott's shoulder and snickered. "Best uncle to me? Do you think I need such nonsense? And respect? You want me to resp

    Lewis stopped in front of Scott and poked him with the mop stick. "Ever since I was a child, you never bothered to hide your distaste towards me. Yes, you were scared of grandfather, but you had grandmother to back you up.""But even in her absence and in grandfather's presence, you didn't care to hide what you thought of me." "Do you know how humiliated I always felt whenever you made mention of how bad my grades were and how I wasn't taking my studies seriously?!" Scott slowly raised his eyes to look at him and snickered in contempt, "Yes, I remember. But you and I both know I didn't say anything that wasn't true." "You really weren't taking your studies seriously. You were not attending classes and you were almost in the midst of every shameful incident in school.""As your uncle who cared for you, I couldn't exactly turn a blind eye to things like that which could drag down the family name." Lewis lowered his upper body to Scott's height and slapped him across the face a few

    However, Matilda suddenly ran up to Ethan and slapped him on the chest."You rascal, what do you think you're doing? Lewis' grandfather will never let us off the hook if you do this to his grandson!"Scott got up from the floor and glared hard at her. "Woman, how could you be so two-faced? Would you rather defend someone who beat up your husband, who also happens to be his uncle?"Matilda turned to look at him and huffed righteously, "Isn't it obvious he was just threatening to beat you up? You were clearly out of line saying those things to him, and it isn't surprising that it got him angry and made him want to lash out at you.""He just wanted to frighten you a little bit and make you take back what you said, but you continually stood by what you said.""Yes, he beat you, but you brought it on yourself for disrespecting him. How dare you try to pin all the blame on him when you are the one at fault here!"Claire looked at her in disappointment."How could you say something like that

    Ethan left the cleaning up of the Wellington family to his men while he boarded a plane and flew back to Springdale with his family.The mayor was waiting to welcome them once they arrived. Since they had just endured a hectic day, Ethan drove a tired Chloe and a sleeping Honey to one of his condos.After tucking them in, he left the room to the living room where the mayor was. “I kept my eyes on the William family like you asked. Lewis William has been unconscious ever since you left.”“Currently, every member of the family is gathered at the hospital he’s at. Would you like me to take you there, Commander Black?”Ethan scoffed lightly, “Since when did a mayor become my personal driver?”The man grimaced and lowered his eyes to the floor, “Even the President would become your driver if he could.”Ethan simply took the keys from him and left the house, instructing the him to remain with his family until he returned.Getting outside, he spent a few seconds familiarizing himself with h

    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
