Gordon remains adamant with his stance. He was sure that Jack must have robbed or done something illegal to make his fortune. However, Jack just smiled calmly, showing his confidence.

Jack looked at Gordon with a sharp gaze, reflecting his strong determination. He wanted to make sure that everyone here would see the truth.

"Gordon, we have made a bet. I have proven that my gift is far more expensive than yours. So, what are you waiting for? Get on your knees now," Jack said in a firm voice.

Gordon felt the pressure from all the eyes staring at him. Some people looked curious, while others continued to jeer. But he didn't want to give up so easily. He smiled sinisterly as if feeling sure of his own convictions.

“I won't because I'm sure your present is fake or you stole it! Even all your wealth is fake! There's no way I could kneel before someone like you! You liar!" he exclaimed.

Just then, the door to Jamie's residence opened, and Dylan and Rita Hawthorne arrived. The room fell silen

But apparently, his answer actually made the people around him gossip. Jack could already guess what the gossip was about. Since Gordon Hawthorne had spread the word that he was a former servant, everyone was still speculating about him, but there was no proof that Jack was a fraud. However, his low knowledge about the upper-class life makes him secretly laughed at."Excuse me, I have to go to the toilet," said Jack.Jack kept his cool even though everyone was gossiping about him.

Dylan hadn't been able to put any of his business into Gordon's hands.

Just now you were acting so nice while calling me 'honey'," Jack said with a chuckle.Ashley grew embarrassed by it. Jack then opened the car door for Ashley and Ashley immediately got inside. Jack then got behind the wheel and started the engine.“I'll take you home. Tell me where you live," Jack asked Ashley."Ah, no need, Jack. I can go home alone. You just need to take me to the nearest bus stop, or I can take a taxi," Ashley replied."No. I said I'd take you. Give me your address,” replied Jack.Ashley's heart pounded as she spoke the address.

    “I have tea imported directly from China. Maybe not an expensive one but, I think it's pretty good," Ashley said again, smiling meaningfully."Okay. A cup of tea would be nice,” replied Jack.He followed Ashley into her apartment. The apartment is tiny but very neat and well appointed."I thought you were staying with your family because your mother was sick?" he asked.“Ah no… I've been living alone for a long time. My mother lives with my younger siblings. I often came home late from work, so I decided to live alone and come to my mom's place every weekend, or whenever I could find time,” Ashley replied."I see," replied Jack as he sat down on Ashley's tiny sofa."I'll get the tea in a moment," Ashley replied as she walked into the kitchen.Jack smiled and nodded. He waited while looking around the room. There were pictures of Ashley at graduation, some family photos, and a few other items in the room.

Ashley is reliable in every way and also in bed. Maybe they can do it again someday. Jack could still remember how beautiful Ashley's body without anything covered."So, where are we going now?" she asked."I heard Diana Buchanan used to be in one of the cafes on Avenue Square," Jack said.“Diana Buchanan?

    Jack's situation was dire. He lay on the cold floor, pain radiating through his body, Ashley's bloodied form just out of reach. His vision blurred and darkened at the edges, but he wasn't ready to give up. He knew he had one last trick up his sleeve.With a barely noticeable movement, he activated the communication implant Jill had embedded in his arm.

    Patrick, sensing a slight tremor of control slipping from his grasp, attempted to regain his dominance with a sneer. "You think you're clever, don't you, Jack?" he jeered, his voice echoing off the cold, stone walls of the lair. "But you're just bluffing. We both know what happened the last time you tried to fight alone. You lost, and you lost badly. Look around you. My men guard every corner of this place with the highest vigilance. There's no help coming from Jill or anyone else. You think you can fool me? I anticipated your move, and I've made sure it won't happen."Jack's jaw tightened, his eyes narrowing as he fixed Patrick with a steely glare. "You talk too much, Patrick," he retorted, a smirk playing at the corners of his lips. His confidence was unwavering, a stark contrast to the villain's bluster.Without another word, Jack launched himself into action with a burst of explosive energy.

He strained against the metal restraints with every ounce of strength he possessed, the cords of his muscles standing out in stark relief against his skin.The glass walls seemed to close in on him, but Jack refused to accept defeat. With a roar of pure rage, he wrenched his arm free from one of the metal bindings, the steel groaning under the force of his fury.

He tore at the remaining bonds, his breath coming in ragged gasps.The guards outside the chamber stared in shock, their initial disbelief giving way to alarm.

"No, Jack," she pleaded, her eyes wide and glistening with tears. "Please, just go. Leave me."Jack’s determination was unshakeable. He shook his head firmly, his jaw set in a hard line.

    As Jack was escorted further into the heart of The Golden Apple's new stronghold, the dimly lit corridors seemed to close in around him, suffocating him with their oppressive atmosphere. The guards flanked him on either side, their eyes boring into him with a mixture of suspicion and contempt.Patrick stood at the end of the hallway, his presence commanding and his demeanor oozing with arrogance. His arms were crossed over his chest, and a smug smirk played at the corners of his lips as Jack was brought before him."Well, well, if it isn't our obedient little errand boy," Patrick sneered, his voice laced with disdain as he regarded Jack. "Coming here unarmed, all for the sake of the traitor who betrayed you. How noble of you, Jack."Jack's fists clenched at his sides, his nails digging into his palms as he struggled to contain his rising anger. He knew Patrick was trying to provoke him, but he refused to take the bait. Instead, he focused on the urgency of the situation at hand."Wher

    A Bait

    Jack's heart skipped a beat as his phone vibrated, signaling an incoming message. With a sense of urgency, he glanced at the screen, his eyes widening in shock at the sight before him. It was a video, sent from an unknown number, and as Jack tapped to play it, his blood ran cold.The video opened to a chilling scene. A dimly lit room filled the screen, casting long shadows that danced across the walls. In the center of the frame sat a wooden chair, its surface worn and weathered, and bound to it was Ashley. Her hands were tied behind her back, and her eyes were filled with a mixture of fear and defiance.“Ashley?” Jack breathed, his voice barely a whisper as he struggled to comprehend the gravity of the situation.“What? What happened?” Jill's voice crackled with concern, her eyes widening as she leaned in closer to see the screen of Jack's phone.For a moment, Jack's mind reeled in disbelief.

Blinking away the remnants of sleep, he turned his gaze towards Jill, who was already engrossed in her work, her movements fluid and purposeful."Rise and shine, sleepyhead. It's time for you to join the land of the living," Jill greeted him with a playful smirk, her eyes sparkling with determination. "I need your help with some brainstorming."Jack yawned and stretched, feeling the weight of the impending tasks settling upon him like a heavy cloak. "What's the plan?" he asked, his voice still tinged with drowsiness as he sat up and gave Jill his full attention.Jill's eyes gleamed with determination as she launched into an explanation of the necessity for a tracker device that could evade detection by their adversaries. "Jack, we need a failsafe in case things go south. We can't risk you getting caught or lost in the chaos," she began,
