"So, what?"
Ryan looked at his wife, sitting in the back seat beside him. He just shrugged, wondering if discussing about her mother's affair with a stranger present near them was right.
They were in a taxi. The driver was old, with grey hair and thick eyeglasses. But that didn't mean he had a hearing impaired. After all, he was still carefully driving at a steady speed.
"What? Why are you shrugging?" Violet pressed further, wanting to get to the bottom of this.
"You really want to talk about your mother now?"
"Yes, is that even a question?"
They heard a small laugh from the driver. "Oh, please don't mind me. I will never talk about it to anyone."
Violet raised one of her eyebrows, "Hear that? So, what?"
He sighed, slumping on his seat. He really preferred not to talk about it now, but who was he to speak?
"Okay," Ryan breathed out, "What do you want to do now?"
"I honestly don't know."
He rolled his brown

The Revenger's System 122. Jared and Florent Share, What?
Heading to the Crowne residence, Ryan was greeted by the cold high fence that separated the private property from the world. He had called Cinos earlier, so the gate was already open to welcome them.Though, truthfully, he wondered why they didn’t install an automatic gate already. But then he remembered. They specifically didn’t spend money for that because he used to be there, opening and closing the gate at all hours, acting as their slave to be treated with no care in the slightest.They both sighed in relief because the reporters that camped outside the gate had gone without a trace. Perhaps they were bored from the lack of any news from them, or they got another Hollywood star and young millionaire out there making a scene.Either way, it was a good news for both of them. Now, they could go back and forth without any worry or annoyance from the pestering paparazzi.Slowing down to a stop, they got out of the car and stepped to the front
The Revenger's System 123. Your Mother's Cheating
The next day, Ryan and Violet returned to the Crowne residence to finish their business.Unlike last night, Jared and Florent were there to greet them this time.“Hey, you finally come here. It’s nice that you here,” Jared hugged his younger sister, all the while glaring at Ryan over her shoulder. “Although, do you really have to bring a pesky little bollock with you?”Violet hugged him back, not bothering to defend Ryan in front of Jared. “I was here last night, but you’re not home.”In retaliation to Jared’s lack of regard for Ryan, she ignored Florent’s presence. She already said that she didn’t want to meet him in the near future, so she would just think of not seeing that smug face. Even if Florent was right in front of her.Being glared at, Florent shifted on his feet, uncomfortable at being the recipient of such an infamous glare from Violent Violet. He knew about her moniker
The Revenger's System 124. One Presidential Suite, Please
The sound recording played out. ‘You know nothing of my sacrifice to marry your father, Violet. So, don’t mind my business. I don’t care what he do now, but I’m with another man now. You will not disrespect us by talking about your father.’ It ended shortly after, leaving a gapping silence in its wake. ‘I’m with another man now.’ It was revolting. Nauseating, like a worm that crawled out of an old, buried can. Sitting with a crossed leg beside him, Violet merely rolled her eyes. “We have to stop mom.” “Stop your mother from doing what?” They all turned to the door, seeing who just said that. Robert was standing there with an expectant look on his face. One hand gripping a suitcase, while the other clenched in a fist, shaking by his side. “What did your mother do?” Ryan smirked, eyes wide with joy. “Oh, you wouldn’t believe it, my dear father-in-law.” “Be careful with your word, you lying scum. I will not have you wreak more havoc to the family I built and protect with my own
The Revenger's System 125. Hotel Raid
“I-I’m sorry…” the pretty receptionist stammered, “Did you say, the successor of Ashford Group?”Ryan narrowed his eyes. He really didn’t want to be involved with that whole other can now. “What about it?”Julia squinted her eyes and looked at Ryan from head to toe. She did this a few times just to be sure, scrutinizing his face for several seconds more. Then, she gasped and stepped back in response, holding a hand on her mouth.A couple seconds later, she smoothed her surprised expression to a neutral one. She put on a smile, stretching over her bold-colored lips.Clearing her throat, Julia said, “I am so sorry for that, sir.” Her eyes were pleading. “I was not aware that you are Mr. Rayven Ashford. Again, I am so sorry for my behaviour earlier, sir.”The four Crownes looked at Julia and Ryan back and forth, noticing the incredible detail of change in front of them. Fin
The Revenger's System 126. A Truth Potion
“What do you want?”“Talk.” Violet put emphasis on that single word. “We need to talk. All of us.”Marissa sighed heavily, as if she was exhausted with the world. “Fine. Let me get dress and I’ll see you downstair at the café.”“No, you have a big presidential suite here, so we’ll talk here.”Marissa shook her head vehemently. “I will not talk with you all in the suite, it’s my private place. We’ll talk at the café downstair, like any normal people.”Violet smelled something fishy.“Are you hiding something?”“No, I don’t have any weeds in here if you’re wondering. I’ve spent it last night after the party!”“Then what are you hiding that you refuse to talk here now?“ Violet pressed with the question. She was quickly losing her patience.However, Marissa wasn’t i
The Revenger's System 127. For His Money
Robert banged on the bathroom door, ready to burst in anger. "Open the door right now, you bastard! How dare you sleep with my wife behind my back?! Get out of here so I can look at you in the eye!" Marissa was in tears after having the truth spilling like water out of her mouth. This was a nightmare she couldn't even imagine. The door opened without a creek; after all, this was a presidential suite. A man in a silky bathrobe stood before them. His hair was wet, already slicked back like last night at the rooftop party. "Can't a man enjoy a shower after a long, strenuous night?" Robert saw red, and a punch was shot. It connected with Rhome's jaw with a solid 'bugh!' until the slick-back-haired man swayed on his feet. "Take that you slick bastard!" Instead of meeting Robert's cold fury head-on, Rhome held his throbbing jaw and merely laid his gaze around the Crowne family members. He set his eyes on Violet and Ryan, recognizing the most
