All eyes turned to the entrance immediately. At the same time, a sharp and piercing sound resounded in the air.

PLOP!

"Argh!" the security guards let out heart-wrenching screams as two ballpoint pens pierced their hands accurately and blood oozed out. 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..." The little boy shrank in his mother's arms and sobbed out.

Kian felt a tinge of pain in his heart and tried to comfort him, "Don't cry... I'm here now. I'll—"

"Why are you here?" Savannah glared at him, trembling with anger.

She wants to live the rest of her life with dignity especially in front of this man that ruined her life. But this bastard always somehow manage

    Greg knew if he didn't do something, not only would these two meet their end, they would also drag him down with them! So—PLAK!He lifted his palm fiercely and gave director Jones another hard slap. The latter was still shouting self-righteously and was caught unaware."Sir—" He fell to the ground in confusion and held his cheek. 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

    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. "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

    Anthony had second thoughts and wanted to salvage the situation. He forced a small smile at Maximilian Hart. "I tried to contact you, but your assistant informed me you were out of the country. I couldn't propose to my girl without a pianist as planned so I hired someone with only a little bit of skills. I shouldn't have done this. I'm sorry." He bowed slightly with a sincere expression, but both Maximilian Hart and the con artist sneered. The former was indeed out of the country on a tour but all it took was one phone call from that person for him to return. Meanwhile, the con artist felt disdainful at Anthony's attitude and words. He was content performing on the streets when Anthony approached him. The man was almost groveling in front of him to get him to dress and play the piano like the real Maximilian Hart. Had it not been for the promised payment which was more than he typically earned on the streets, he wouldn't have accepted. But now that the truth was exposed, this

    "Why did those people help you?" After much contemplation, Savannah arrived at a decision and asked Kian as soon as he got to her.Although she couldn't hear their conversation from where she stood, she had noticed their respectful and submissive demeanor towards Kian.Why did Magistrate Cody, a powerful figure, suddenly appear at the Opening Night Gala and assist Kian in exposing her uncle? What could he gain from helping a fallen heir? Could it have been a coincidence? The more she thought of it, the stranger it felt."They were good friends with my father," Kian answered curtly without batting an eye.It was indeed true. His father had been business acquaintances with some of them, although their relationships were strictly professional. Until Savannah completely forgives him, he can't reveal his real identity to her."I see," Savannah frowned slightly, her confusion easing.It made sense now. Back then, Blackwood's family was at their prime and at the top. Their influence was powe

    The knife aimed at Kian's forehead halted midway as the phone's chimes filled the serene environment. Margaret hissed and dropped the knife as she reached into her pocket to retrieve the phone that was ringing.It was a disposable phone that she had gotten on a whim. It has never rang since the whole trouble started so Margaret was confused about who would be calling her and how they got her private number.Various thoughts flashed through Margaret's mind as she looked at the unknown number displaying on the phone screen. But just when the call was about to end, Margaret held her breath and answered the call."Margaret, do you want to escape a death sentence?"

    On a small ship not far away from Jeju island, Ian Sinclair laid comfortably on a chaise longue. He seemed to be in a merry mood, sipping wine and enjoying a massage from two sexy, scantily dressed women.He was watching everything that was playing out at Jeju island on a big tablet in his hand. When he saw Kian dragged into the island with life threatening injuries, he smoked a pipe happily.Kian was so badly injured it was evident he wouldn't survive! Haha!

    At the cave, Margaret was acting all gleeful. She knew waiting to see what happened would be worth it! That bastard couldn't hold on any longer and finally compromised. Very good!She casually tossed the gun in her hand and looked at Savannah whose face was ugly. Resentment flickered in her eyes as they darted to the three people sitting helplessly.Killing these three and then taking Kian's life would be the perfect revenge. But to think of it, will Kian really not retaliate like he promised? She doesn't believe that! However, he already promised. Seeing that, she couldn't touch his bottom line. Since her initial goal was Kian, what did it matter if she let Savannah and the others go?If she is able to kill Kian, it doesn't matter at all.

He doesn't want to see any of them ever get hurt.But now, Margaret was holding them captive and their lives were in danger. What if Margaret or her accomplices couldn't resist and hurt one of them? What if he really underestimated Margaret and after the four hours ultimatum he has given her, she doesn't release them? Kian's face was as calm as the sea but his heart was in turmoil. More thoughts flooded his mind, adding to his anxiety.Time passed by slowly and within a blink of an eye, three hours had passed.

    "Sister-in-law, five years ago, you remember what became of the Blackwood's family. Kian was set up and falsely accused. He had to go to jail and even forcefully sign a divorce that gave away all his assets to Sinclair's family. My aunty and uncle couldn't handle what had become of their son so they committed suicide," Vivienne began to speak; her eyes tearing up.Savannah was silent. She hadn't known much about the Sinclair's family years ago because she had been embroiled in troubles of her own. As a matter of fact, Kian had been the cause of her woes. But hearing Vivienne's words caught her off guard. How did she never know about all this? Perhaps, she had been so filled with hatred for Kian that she didn't pay attention to any news concerning him."Even Kian was sentenced to death. That day, my father had rescued him from the death gallows and brought him home. I have never seen anyone as battered and broken as him. Sister-in-law, his legs had been broken almost rendering him cri

    "Argh!" The manager groaned and stopped instantly as a low sound of gunshot rang out. The back of his clothes quickly turned red with blood.His eyes widened in despair and he tried to take another step in an attempt to escape but—BANG!"Ah!" Savannah shrieked as the manager dropped to the ground weakly and limp. The other salesmen who saw what happened were shocked and frightened!"Margaret, how dare you?!""You crazy bitch! We won't spare you!""We won't spare you!"THWIP!Margaret's eyes were cold and fierce as she pulled the trigger again without any hesitation.
