2024-07-17 15:24:42"It... was... Anthony, the second son of the Gray's family."
Jeff suddenly thought mentioning Anthony Gray's name would save him. After all, the family was a force to be reckoned with. Who would have expected Kian would flare up with a strong murderous intent, "Gray's family? I intended to give you all time but you keep digging your graves!" SPLAT! His foot rose and he stomped on Jeff's head viciously. A crack sound resonated as Jeff's skull was crushed by the foot. Blood and brain parts splattered all over. At that moment, Cody's soul left his body in horror. He has heard tales of the King of War's fury but has never witnessed it till today. This person, Nathaniel Wilson, must be very important to him. He gulped in fear and took a few steps backwards. He finally understands why some people call Kian a tyrant. __________ Kian's cold expression finally dissipated as he watched Nathaniel being wheeled into the operating theater. His body was in a terrible state and the doctor had to perform a surgery on him immediately. Cody could finally breathe peacefully and his heart was no longer hanging in his throat. He sat on a bench with an exhausted face. "Sir," Wesley slipped beside Kian quietly and bowed. "The bank card has been delivered to Miss Savannah." He paused for a second and then presented a document to Kian. "The reason why Nathaniel was also imprisoned has been investigated. He was indeed framed." Kian collected the document and skimmed through it casually. His eyes gradually turned frosty at what he saw. Not only Anthony Gray, some of the Wilson's family members were also involved in Nathaniel's downfall including the current head of the family who was Nathaniel's oldest brother, Edward. Anthony had gathered evidence of Edward's illicit deeds in the family's business and used it to threaten him to help him deal with Nathaniel. Edward already wasn't on good terms with his brother so he readily accepted the offer in a bid to save himself because if his wicked deeds were to be exposed to the public, he would be imprisoned. Thus, Nathaniel's family was expelled from the Wilson's family and then he was imprisoned. "We haven't found out the reason why Anthony did this," Wesley reported to Kian in a soft tone. "But we did find out there was some sort of undefined relationship between Anthony's mother and Nathaniel Wilson..." "It doesn't matter," Kian waved his hand dismissively. "There is no reason for being a scum neither will there be one for punishing them." "Yes sir," Wesley bowed respectfully but said nothing else. Kian's brows furrowed slightly as he began to feel guilty again. The state Savannah's family is in right now is due to his own actions. He owed her alot. Thinking of this, his expression became calm again and he looked up at Wesley, "Transfer all my assets abroad to the country and invest two hundred billion in Valoria Prime. Release the news and open bidding in three days." His gaze became resolute as he added, "I changed my mind. This time, I won't just kill people." This world only revolves around money and power. The two top families, Gray and Sinclair are no exception. Olivia and her family had destroyed his family because of money. He will also use that same money to destroy her and her family completely! Everyone involved won't be left unscathed. Seeing this scene and hearing his words, Cody's heart trembled with fear. "Yes sir," Wesley nodded and left almost immediately. Kian wasn't far behind too. Although he didn't want to, Cody insisted that he would be in charge of personally overseeing that Nathaniel was well taken care of so he had no other reason to remain at the hospital. Besides, he wanted to inform Savannah about this news personally, hoping it would ease her resentment. __________ At the bank, Savannah was waiting in line in front of a counter, holding her son's hand. She looked down at the bank card in her hand from time to time, feeling extremely nervous. An hour ago, she had ended a music class and was preparing to go home when she received a package. Besides the bank card in it, there was also a little note. [There is money in this card to sort your problem] There was no information of how much was in it, who sent it or why. No signature, no description, just those few words. But she was in desperate need of money. She needed to hire a good lawyer that would take up her father's case. Because of this, she had borrowed money several times in the past but still wasn't enough. Not long ago, she even dared to borrow a high interest loan of three hundred thousand from a popular loan shark, Felix who is also rumored to be the godson of the notorious Montgomery's family. But in the end, she not only failed to achieve her goal but also ended in debts and was almost forced to sleep with someone to repay the loan. She would never have accepted money from an unknown source but she was at her wit's end and had no time to consider anything. "Oh my, isn't this our campus beauty of Valoria National University?" Savannah frowned at these words and looked up in the direction where the voice had sounded from. A young woman in a pristine black suit with an insignia indicating her position as the bank manager walked towards her. There was a sneer on her face as she took in Savannah's physical appearance and cheap clothes. "Margaret?" Savannah's face turned cold. This woman was her coursemate but they never got along because Margaret always targeted and schemed against her. "I heard rumors that you were kicked out of your house because of a sex scandal? What business do you still have in our bank? Do you even have any money?" Margaret looked down at Savannah disdainfully. She didn't bother to hide her contempt. Back in college, Savannah was always favored by everyone. Every man pursued her and wished to be with her romantically because of her beauty. Not only that, she was also the academic genius in their entire university. The beauty with the brains. Naturally, people like Margaret got jealous. When news of Savannah's scandal first broke out, she was the happiest person that day and always wanted to ridicule her. Unexpectedly, this encounter gave her the opportunity to do so.

"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. Why don't you know how to appreciate good people?"Savannah's face turned pale. That topic was a sore wound in her heart that has never heal

Before he could speak further, he was barraged with kicks from all directions till he was all beaten up and could barely speak.Seeing this scene, Margaret's face turned pale and her knees wobbled in fear till she knelt.Then Greg wiped off the sweat from his brows and went to Kian. "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

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. "Isn't that Savannah Wilson from that middle class family? The one that was involved in that scandal. Didn't her family even kick her out after that incident

"Oh, so he is that man involved in that scandal!""How can he still show his face here? Has his brain stopped working?""What a shameless scum!""Is the standards of Horizon Gallery dropping to the extent that anyone can just waltz in?"The crowd's voices grew louder, pointing fingers and openly criticizing. 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. Savannah’s tears mixed with her anger as she wiped them away, staring at him defiantly."Anthony is going to save my fath

Before anyone could react to his words, Edward stood up with great difficulty and flared up. "What nonsense are you talking about? How dare you spurt out this rubbish here? Guards! Get this man out of here!"He was agitated and frightened. How could this lowlife know about Anthony's connection to Nathaniel's predicament? They hid their tracks so well so how did he find out?Kian squinted at him; only a fool wouldn't see that he was acting like he was trying to hide something.His lips curled up coldly and he sneered, "Shut your mouth! All an old fool like you does is to bite the fingers that feed him!""What are you talking about?" Savannah pulled him, causing him to look down at her. Her beautiful eyes were filled with shock and disbelief."Why don't you ask your good uncle over there or your soon-to-be boyfriend? They will explain to you clearly how they worked together and put your father behind bars!"Edward's face turned ashen as all eyes redirected to him. He grew more anxious a

Now, Anthony was utterly humiliated. His face was darker than the night sky and he could have sworn he heard some people from the crowd laughing at him. He might be the prestigious second son of Gray's family. In front of Magistrate Cody, he was nothing! Cody was unconcerned with this and directly went to the Wilsons. He pointed at Kian and said, "I have proof that all his accusations are true." The hall was in uproar at his words. They barely had time to comprehend his words when he added, "I had my people investigate the incident that occurred years ago. Nathaniel was completely innocent. The employees did die while working on his project, but it wasn’t his fault. The real issue was that someone greedily siphoned off most of the funds and provided substandard infrastructure, which ultimately led to their deaths. It was all due to Edward and Anthony's manipulation." A shocked hush fell upon the hall. When Kian said it earlier, no one believed him. But this was Magistrate Cod

His words made everyone's eyes light up. True to his words, that haughty man must have been well prepared.

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! 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
