"Who are you?" Kian asked slowly. Victor mistook his reaction for fear but Wesley knew this was a sign he was about to explode. Even his throat was beginning to feel tight. For his own safety, he gulped and stepped backwards, away from Kian. "Your name is Kian, right?" Victor stroked his chin. "You don't need to know who I am but I'll tell you now, I'm going to have some fun with your wife! Haha!" THUMP! Wesley held his breath and cursed inwardly. Who was this fool? Was he trying to get himself killed? "See..." Victor flipped the camera again to display Savannah. His fingers darted to her blouse and he forcefully popped the upper button, displaying her flawless skin. "I was going to fuck her and record it for you but what's the fun in that? How about I give you a livestream instead?" Kian's face reddened with anger and his fingers closed around the phone. An oppressive aura of fury descended and Wesley tugged at his shirt's collar. Why was it getting so difficult to breathe
"Understood sir," Wesley nodded, responding promptly. He opened his mouth to speak again when Victor coughed loudly with blood trickling out of his mouth.Although his internal organs were twisting uncomfortably and he was in excruciating pain, he managed to lift his head and yell weakly, "You... Who do you think you are? If you dare touch this property, the Sinclair's family won't let you go!"His words attracted Wesley and Kian's attention. The latter's face particularly turned dark. Sinclair's family?Victor saw his expression and misunderstood it for fear again. He became confident and continued, ''You heard me right! The Sinclair's family. They are the second biggest shareholder of this school. They won't spare you."Kian's eyes blazed in fury and Wesley shook his head at Victor pitifully. The latter thought he was saving himself but he had only dug a grave for himself.CRACK!"Argh!" As expected, Victor's painful shrieks flooded the room as Kian took a step forward and stomped
Kian placed a pillow behind Savannah and helped her sit comfortably. When he pulled away, she looked up at him and touched her head. "Your head hurts?"She nodded without attempting to speak. She subconsciously checked her body and secretly heaved a sigh of relief. Besides feeling a bit lightheaded, it didn't appear like that bastard, Victor got his way with her. What happened after she passed out? "You... Did you—""Don't speak yet. You'll hurt your throat. Here, drink this," Kian interrupted her and lifted a glass of warm water to her lips. She emptied the cup obediently and sat back. "You can take some painkillers after you eat. Mother should have finished preparing lunch. I'll go and have a look.""Wait," She held him back and squinted at him. What does he mean by lunch? What time is it now? How long has she been unconscious?Before she could voice out her questions, the phone on the bedside drawer rang. It was her phone and the call was from a colleague at work.She let go of
"Mom," Savannah frowned and tried to speak but Ida's attention was solely on Kian. The latter smiled and nodded.Ida looked at the keys again and couldn't conceal her surprise. A house in Maplewood? A car? It felt like a dream. She could only imagine the looks on people's faces when they find out.Suddenly, the voices of Wilson's family mocking them the other day came to her mind and she snapped out of her surprise."You are not playing tricks on us again, are you?" She squinted at Kian suspiciously. "Are these keys authentic?""Mom!" Savannah was speechless. "Nevermind, I'll find out for myself," Ida brought out her phone. "I'll call the sales office of Maplewood to confirm.""Mom, will you stop all these? Why are you—" Savannah tried to stop her but she had already begun to dial the number. Savannah looked at Kian worriedly and he shook his head at her, gesturing for her to remain calm. There was nothing to fear and it was best to let Ida satisfy her curiosity.After a few words o
Important members of the Wilson's family including Grandfather Wilson, Edward and Douglas were gathered, having a meeting. There was a stack of documents in front of grandfather Wilson. No one was speaking but their facial expressions were extremely ugly. Grandfather Wilson particularly looked furious as he picked up a document and— SLAP! He slammed it hard on the table. Looking at Edward fiercely, he pointed at the document and asked, "Edward, is this the report you could provide?!" All the documents stacked up were containing information of the companies their family owned and managed. They had about seven companies in total and all appeared to have been dwindling in debts and losses for the past few months. Even their most profitable business, Radiance Gallery, had incurred some losses due to mismanagement. If they hadn't borrowed a huge loan from the bank, every one of these companies would have had to close down! Now, taking a loan wasn't a problem. Repaying it was
"Hey, don't look at me like I'm the enemy here," The young man waved dismissively and shrugged nonchalantly. "Obtaining your background information was a piece of cake." The man looked at grandfather Wilson and told him in a mocking tone, "At a time like this, instead of thinking of ways to save yourselves, you actually pinned your hopes on those people. Are you that hopeless or just stupid?" "Hey! How dare you?!" Edward and some other family members yelled. They won't stand and watch their father get insulted by a youngster like this. Only Douglas remained calm and watched silently. He was actually secretly pleased that someone had managed to voice out the words he had been dying to say for years. But he was also curious about the identity of the stranger. "Stop," Grandfather Wilson cautioned the younger family members who were prepared to charge towards the young man. Then he turned to the man and asked, "You said you are our family's savior? What do you mean?" The man didn't
"And I refuse to be a part of this!" Eyes turned in Douglas' direction as he stepped out and protested. Walking up to grandfather Wilson, exhaustion etched on his face. "I have put up with you all for so long. But dad... Really?" "Dad, what are you doing?" Julian yelled nervously, afraid Oscar Gray might get offended. He gritted his teeth and cursed his father quietly as he hurried forward. "Young master Gray is willing to give us three billion dollars for an easy task. Do you even know what that means? Not only will we be able to repay our debts, we will also revive the family business." "Is that worth selling familial ties?!" Douglas cut him off. "Just shut your mouth. When the elders are speaking, don't interfere!" "Humph!" Julian snorted and turned his face away. "Douglas, what are you insinuating?" Grandfather Wilson looked at him coldly and sneered. "At a time like this, you are daring to pick sides. Without our Wilson's family, would you be someone with status toda
