2024-07-17 15:22:59Kian 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 to the prison and parked his car, a middle-aged man with neatly combed hair and a chubby face walked up to him with two guards. At this hour, the warden, Jeff was supposed to be on a date but he received a call from his superiors at the last minute and has to wait for this young man who looks so reserved and haughty. His date was canceled and he couldn't help feeling resentful. But due to his relationship with his superiors, he feigned a smile and extended his hand to greet Kian. "I am Jeff, the warden of this prison. What brings you here, Mr Blackwood?" "Searching for someone," Kian gave him a curt reply calmly with his hands behind his back. Jeff awkwardly withdrew his hand with a hint of anger. In this prison, he is the boss! Even if someone has connections, they still have to be polite when coming here. This man with the last name Blackwood delayed his precious date and won't even give him face. How arrogant! "Well, Mr Blackwood, who have you come for?" His expression gradually turned cold and displeased. "Nathaniel Wilson." Upon hearing this name, Jeff's eyes widened and his brows knitted. There were more than five hundred prisoners in the entire prison and he could only remember a few of their names. Nathaniel Wilson happens to be one of those few. He was the second son of the Wilson's family and the former CEO of the family's company. He was later expelled by his family and arrested in connection to the deaths of some employees which had occurred while working on one of his projects. He was then imprisoned five years ago. On the day of his arrival, a certain big shot had paid Jeff $400,000 and asked him to make sure Nathaniel Wilson has a comfortable stay in the prison. So for the past five years, he had arranged for people to give Nathaniel a special treatment from time to time. Just two days ago, he had instructed them to brutally beat him up. Now he was lying on the floor of his cell with injuries all over his body. Jeff didn't expect this young man would actually request to see him. If he dares to offend that big shot, he won't be able to bear the consequences. Besides, he already accepted bribes from that person, so if he falls now, they will fall together. Under no circumstances will he allow this young man to see Nathaniel. So with a fake smile back on his face, he apologized, "I'm sorry, Mr Blackwood. That person is a high-risk prisoner specially assigned to our prison for supervision. No one is allowed to visit him." "I think you might have misunderstood my words," Kian looked at Jeff with a little, cold lopsided smile. "I'm not here to visit him. I am here to take him away." Jeff's smile disappeared and his face changed dramatically. "Mr Blackwood, this joke is too expensive! Nathaniel still has five more years left out of his ten-year sentence. How can he be released now?" If Nathaniel leaves that prison, he would not only lose his career but his life! "I don't care what connections you have, please leave now or don't blame me for being impolite!" The person who had tasked him to be in charge of Nathaniel was from the Gray's family, one of the two top families in the city. Compared to them, he would rather offend his superiors and as for this young man in front of him, he doesn't care! "You have..." Kian looked down at the clean cut wristwatch on his wrist. "—less than three minutes to bring Nathaniel Wilson to me." His tone was firm and left no room for questioning. "You are too shameless!" Jeff's face darkened and a sinister thought flashed in his mind. He pointed at Kian and shouted, "This man broke into the prison and tried to kidnap a prisoner. Arrest him for me!" At that instant, Jeff already had everything figured out. He was going to shift the blame and hand this man over to the Grays to deal with. He will understand what it means to mess with the wrong family next time and won't recklessly come to the prison again to take someone away. As the chief warden, it had become Jeff's instinct to detain people. Even if he could tell that this young man wasn't an ordinary person given the fact that he could make his superiors give him backdoor access to the prison and also drove an expensive car. So what? Such an unknown person can't be compared to the Gray's family. He couldn't be more powerful than them. Nathaniel was the one they had specifically asked him to take care of so he couldn't let this Mr Blackwood take him away. As for what would happen next, he didn't need to worry about it. CLICK! CLICK! The two guards standing beside Jeff raised their guns and aimed it at Kian.

Kian's face changed slightly and he shook his head at them coldly. "No one dares to point a gun at me in this country. Not even you.

"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!

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.

"Mr Blackwood, what should I do with these two?"Everyone was stunned. Greg had just addressed Kian respectfully, in an almost submissive tone. They looked at Kian with one question on their minds;'Who is this man?'Savannah was equally surprised. She looked at Kian with a complex gaze. To her, he was the man that ruined her life and violated her. A complete scumbag.But twice n

Upon hearing this, Savannah wavered a bit but there was still a bit of reluctance. Anthony must have felt this because his smile disappeared and he reminded her. "Your father's crime isn't something that can be easily overlooked with the help of a good attorney. We are talking about murder here. There are many people involved." Savannah's fingers clenched around the phone. No matter what they all say, her father is innocent. He doesn't deserve this. Anthony's intentions towards her aren't pure and he wouldn't do something like this without asking for something in return. But at that moment, Savannah decided if this could save her father, she would do anything. Kian, who was behind her, frowned. His expression turned cold as he had just everything the bastard said over the phone. Nathaniel Wilson had already been rescued from the prison so there was no way Anthony could help Savannah. He wanted to tell her just this. "Savannah—" "Shut up!" Before he could even start, he w

Anthony's eyes roamed over her sleeveless dress that draped elegantly over her body and accentuated her curves. His heart raced with desire. If his plan goes well, he will have this beauty writhing under him tonight. Just the thought of this was enough to make him feverish. He raised his palms and clapped. Right before everyone, a staff member stepped forward with a designer bag. The female socialites immediately recognized it as part of a recently released collection, priced over $100,000 for pre-order. "Here," Anthony collected the dazzling handbag and stretched it to Savannah. "This is for you... Will you be my girlfriend?" He didn't even get down on his knees. In his own opinion, the pianist he hired and this bag was already more than she was worth. Every other lady would jump at this opportunity to be his companion.

Savannah’s face turned paler with each word, her eyes reddening with anger and humiliation. She turned to Kian with a fierce look."Who is your woman? If Anthony doesn't have the right to covet me, who does? You?"Her voice shook with fury as she stepped closer, her words harsh and filled with bitterness."Do you still not understand? You ruined my life! I am at the lowest point today all because of your actions. My mother can’t show her face in society, and my father is locked up. It is all because of you, bastard!"Kian’s jaw clenched, but he remained silent.

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!

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.

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!
