2024-07-17 15:20:23The magnificent building of a glamorous five-star hotel stood tall amongst the city skylines proudly. Tonight, it seems to be bustling with activities as people are entering and leaving every minute.
There was also a spectacular lineup of different brands of expensive cars outside the hotel. Sinclair's family has reserved the entire hotel for a special occasion tonight. They have also invited guests from all over as their eldest and most beloved daughter, Olivia Sinclair was getting married again. There were different airships hovering over the building carrying a banner that could be seen from miles away: "Wishing Miss Olivia Sinclair and Mr Alexander Gray a lifetime of love and happiness." Socialites and celebrities were gathered around the lobby of the hotel talking, toasting and laughing happily. The atmosphere was quite lively and lovely. "Now that the Sinclair's family and Gray's family are going to merge as one. They will be unstoppable and completely rule over our Valoria Prime city." "Yes... Yes... Yes... At this point, it is best to curry favors with them and not get on their bad side. I presume their enemies will have no good ending later." "Speaking of this reminds me of the Blackwood's family. They rose to fame years ago without any background and tried to overtake Sinclair's family which is a hundred years old with deep-rooted influence. How ridiculous of them to have thought they could succeed!" "But in the end, they all died miserably and everything they owned became Miss Olivia's." "And now everything will only belong to the Gray's family after this marriage is finalized." "Shh... Lower your voice. You will get not only yourself but everyone else into trouble." The socialites who knew the true inside story of what happened that night whispered amongst themselves with mixed reactions. After all, it wasn't a secret. It was just that no one dared to speak about it openly because of the power the Sinclair's family possessed. "Everyone, look! The soon to be couple are coming out!" Someone shouted and everyone's attention turned to the entrance. The hall quietened as Olivia who was dressed in a beautiful studded wedding dress which complemented her fair and delicate skin appeared. There was a handsome, young man by her side with an arrogant expression. He was Alexander Gray and as soon as they walked in, everyone began to gush happily. "A beautiful bride and a handsome groom. What better match could there be than this?" "They are truly a match made in heaven." "Olivia is so beautiful up close. She really deserves her title." "Alex isn't looking bad either. No wonder he's amongst the top on the list of the most eligible bachelors in the city." "But he won't be a bachelor for long." Olivia's smile grew wide when she heard everything they were saying. She clasped Alex's arms tightly as they walked forward. Amidst the happy atmosphere, a cold and calm voice suddenly spoke out, "I really commend someone who is willing to accept a lady whose previous husband encountered misfortune on their wedding night. Aren't you afraid the same fate will befall you, Alexander Gray?" The voice wasn't loud but was audible enough to drown out the noise and reach the ears of Alex and Olivia. "Silence!" Alex went berserk and yelled at the crowd. His originally handsome face distorted with anger. A hush fell upon the hall as the crowd were in shock. Who dared to cause trouble at such a high-end place? They all turned to the direction the voice had come from. Behind the crowd, Kian was staring at the couple with a sharp gaze. His hands were linked behind his coat and the atmosphere in the hall suddenly turned colder as if a few degrees of temperature had dropped. They were all so shocked that some even shuddered and those standing close to him took a few steps back. Who is this young man? Why does he have such a powerful aura? "Kian?" Alexander recognized him and exclaimed in shock. "Weren't you executed years ago? How can you still stand before me?" Back then, his family had spent a lot of resources and pulled some strings to have Kian sentenced to death. How did he survive? Why did he never know about this until now? Olivia was also shocked. Even with the heavy makeup on her face, the paleness was quite visible. But it was only for a minute before she quickly regained her composure and called out softly, "I didn't expect you to still be alive, Kian. Where have you been all these years? Why didn't you bother to contact me? Do you know how worried I have been and how I have cried myself to sleep every night?" She even reached for a tissue to dab at her face and wipe off nonexistent tears. Kian smiled coldly and his expression turned darker. If he didn't already know Olivia's true colors, he might have believed her. Who was she trying to fool? Did she forget how she stood by that day and watched her father ruthlessly order people to break his legs? Yes, their marriage was an arranged one but at that time, he had thought if she was just willing to plead to remain with him, he would find a way to sort out his troubles and get out of the prison. But she just stood by and watched him suffer. Since she wants to play, two can play the game. "Why then are you getting married again? Is your faith in me so fickle? Besides, I am back now. You don't have to marry that clown." Olivia's smile froze. How can Kian be so foolish? How could he blatantly insult Alexander in front of everyone? Does he know tides have changed in the city during his absence? "What did you just say?" Alex was enraged. He pointed a finger and stomped a foot on the stage in anger. "You pathetic rapist! You are nothing but a waste and you think you are worthy of being by Olivia's side." Kian's fingers clenched by his side but no change was observed on his expression. "Five years ago, you were at least a nouveau riche. Now, you are not even fit to be amongst the beggars in the slums. How dare you compare yourself to me? Kneel down and apologize right away!"

In Valoria Prime city, Gray's family was one of the top two leading families. Over the years, their connections and wealth had accrued so immensely they now had a nearly unshakable influence.So even if anything happens to Kian now, no one will hold them to it. And since Kian dared to cause trouble at Alexander's wedding, he definitely won't let him off."Your family has created such a grand scene today," Kian effortlessly waved his fingers at the well decorated hall. "But unfortunately, you are still not worthy enough to be by Olivia's side.""Tsk," Alex shook his head and looked at him like he was looking at the greatest fool in the world. He turned around and walked back to the stage proudly."You are so ignorant that you don't know during your absence, my family has gradually grown more powerful in Valoria Prime. We are akin to a god now and you..."He turned to Kian and pointed at him arrogantly, "—you are just a lowlife! A wretched criminal! It is only right that you bow to me!"

Kian took long strides towards the Bentley Continental GT that was parked outside the hotel. In a profound voice, he asked, "What happened?" "Sir, my men have found the whereabouts of that lady," Wesley began to report to him carefully. "Her name is Savannah Wilson. She is the daughter of a third-class family in Valoria Prime." 'Savannah?' Kian repeated inwardly. He couldn't remember much about the lady from that night as he had never met her before until that unfortunate day. "After that incident," Wesley continued. "The Wilson's family were afraid of being implicated so they disowned Savannah's family and removed them from the family lineage." "Not long after, her father was accused of a misfortune that happened at the family's company and claimed the lives of some employees. He is in prison now and her mother could only make ends meet by selling groceries at the local market." "Miss Savannah herself is now a music teacher at a local school. But just now, her son was abdu

The next second, Kian walked in and his aura was so overwhelming, the middle-aged man suddenly felt a sense of fear and he took a few steps back."W—who are you?" He stuttered but no one responded.Kian's eyes fell on the little boy in the cage who was still stunned and frightened.His heart trembled again. The eyes... The hair... The face... The boy looked as if they had been made from the same mold. He looked just like his younger self!Kian didn't need a soothsayer to tell him the boy was his. But when his eyes trailed to the fingerprints on the red spot on his cheek, his eyes shook coldly.He quickly went to the edge of the dog cage, fiddled with the lock and opened it. Then he stretched a palm and spoke in a soft tone he has never used before,"Come... No one will hurt you. I'm here now."Maybe because Noah felt that although this man had a hard facial expression, he didn't look as cruel as that old geezer over there, so he took the palm and let Kian lead him out.Wesley, who was

Kian watched Savannah turn away and walked off with his son. His fingers clenched by his side as he realized he had classified things as too simple. The suffering and humiliation she endured because of him couldn't be changed by his own will. And the so-called compensation he offered just now was his own way of seeking peace of mind. If he didn't already have a son with her, it would be fine. But now, everything was too complicated. He got into his car and pondered on what to do. Then he took out a card from his pocket and handed it over to Wesley. "Find a way to give this card to Savannah and make sure she accepts it." "Yes sir," Wesley nodded and left the car promptly. He collected the car key and drove all alone to the capital prison in Valoria Prime city. If he wants to seek Savannah's forgiveness, he has to start with her parents. Her father had been framed because he had lost the protection of the Wilson's family. Saving him now might be a turning point. As soon as he got

You won't be able to bear the consequences of your actions!"He has fought tirelessly for the peace of this country for five years and now he is being held at gunpoint in his own hometown. How ironic!"Who do you think you are to act so recklessly in prison? I have never seen anyone as arrogant and ignorant as you are," Jeff sneered. "Daring to threaten me with consequences? You really have a big ego!"He raised two fingers at Kian and went on to say, "Attempting to break into the prison and assaulting an officer, these two charges will get you killed. You worthless piece of waste, get him!"The two guards took out handcuffs and charged towards Kian, ready to apprehend him.

"It has nothing to do with you," Savannah responded tautly. Her face was cold with anger and she wanted nothing more for the line to move quickly so she could get out of that place.Margaret chuckled slyly and twirled some hair strands between her fingers. "I am the bank manager. How can it have nothing to do with me?""And I'll tell you this. People like you have no right to be here. You have no money yet you still stand in line and delay other important customers. I have the right to kick you out! Besides, everyone knows you were raped."Savannah's chest heaved with anger as she covered Noah's ears. How can this stupid woman have no regard for a child and still say such vulgar words? That too in the public!Margaret noticed her actions and rolled her eyes. With a false smile, she raised her tone, "I am only being concerned as an old coursemate.

They staggered back instantly.Amidst the shocked gaze of the crowd, Kian walked in."Who is he?""He looks quite familiar.""Wait!" Someone shouted. "Isn't he the same man that was involved in that sex scandal with Savannah?""Yes, that's him. Why is he here?""I even attended his wedding banquet with the Sinclair's daughter," someone whispered amongst the crowd."Uncle..."

His words made everyone's eyes light up. True to his words, that haughty man must have been well prepared. If one family tries to take him down rashly, they might incur a heavy loss.But if three top families unite to take him down, then there is confidence that they will succeed. The Faye's family patriarch pondered on this and thought it was reasonable.After a moment, he nodded and looked up at his second son. "Fine, let's do it your way this time. Don't let me down."The young man nodded with a smile, "You can count on me. You are so wise."His obvious flattery pleased the patriarch so much that he looked at the disabled on bed and thought, 'Why have I never noticed how capable this second son is?'What an irony!

All the members of the Faye's family cowered and trembled fearfully.Like it was revealed earlier, the Faye's family is one of the top families in the capital city, Cascadia.

An hour had already passed and time was still running out. Under ordinary circumstances, it would be impossible to evacuate from such a huge five star hotel and restore things to their original state but when faced with a death ultimatum, the human brain has no limits.About an hour and half later, the entire hotel was completely empty. Everything that used to belong to Charlotte and the Lane's family had been taken out of the hotel. The five-star hotel was returned to its original state. The state it was in when Garrett was still in change. Kian and Wesley watched over the entire process. The staff didn't know who they were or why they had to follow their orders but after getting a wind of what had happened in the banquet hall earlier, they didn't dare question the new authority.[BREAKING NEWS...]Likewise the guests who had dispersed immediately spread the news.

Sophia couldn't hide her fury this time. She gritted her teeth, clenched her fists and glared at Wesley red-faced. But before she could lash out at him, Alvin stepped in between them."Mister, I apologize if you misunderstood my mistress' intentions. We do not have any intention to resell the necklace if that is what you are afraid of. This necklace is really precious to my Mistress and we'll pay any fair amount as long as you let us have it."Wesley stroked his chin. He looked at Sophia who was trying to inhale and exhale in a bid to calm herself. Feisty...He suddenly had an urge to tease her so he did just that. "I'm pretty curious. Does this mean your Mistress will be willing to pay twice of what we paid just to have the necklace?"Alvin lost all respect for Wesley and he snapped, "That's outrageous! How—""Yes," Sophia intercepted the discussion and came forward. "You want me to pay eight hundred million dollars right? I'll do it right away as long as you don't back out on your w
