“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

“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

If you truly love me, go on pack your things and go meet with the driver who will take you to the airport.I will wait for you there.From your future husband,Rhome.’Marissa smiled to herself as she reread the message again and again.

The Revenger's System 130. Ready to Sail
Ryan heaved a sigh when it was time to move out. They landed at the international airport when the sun was about to set. They had to get to the harbor and get on a yacht from there. Not wanting to wait and mingle with the others, Ryan had purchased a yacht and paid someone to navigate it. Ryan put up an act, making sure his voice was higher than usual but still similar to how he sounded earlier. He found Marissa already waiting for him as she got out earlier like all those first-class passengers. “Do you have a good flight, Ma’am?” he greeted her with a smile. He wore an additional red cap to further hide his features, though Marissa wouldn’t notice. Besides, the sun was especially hot here, so he was just blending with the crowd. “Oh, yes, very much, thank you.” Marissa was visibly shaking from excitement, oblivious to the trap that lay ahead. “Where are we going from here?” “Our ride is waiting by the dock.” Ryan grabbed her suitcase
The Revenger's System 131. Best Laid Plan
The journey was beautiful.Though it didn't even take an hour until they arrived at the private island that Ryan bought from the dark web yesterday. Violet hoped there wouldn't be any animals or nomad people lurking around.Violet looked around, and there was no one.There was no one.Where the hell did Ryan go?A quick look into her phone, and she sighed.'Your mom wants to look around the islands. If you arrive first, hide your father or she'll refuse to get off the yatch.'Ugh, now she had to rack her brain.Once again, looking around, she spotted a newly made wooden cottage with two windows about twenty meters from the water. The green coconut trees, shrubs, and grass around the cottage created a beautiful view that contrasted nicely against the white sand.Turning to Jones, she asked, "What about the supplies?"The tan young man in a floral shirt gestured with his spreading hands, "It have all fruits you can
The Revenger's System 132. Basic Survival Skill
The island Ryan bought was beautiful.Located in the Caribbean Sea, the air was fresh and warm enough for him to take off his shirt. He could swim by the water – hopefully, he wouldn’t sink or get caught in a wave – or just lay around the white sandy beach. Like the other island he bought to parent-trap his in-laws, it also had a small wooden cottage with enough necessities.Staying here with Violet, it must felt like heaven.However, a strange and intrusive variable came out of the blue.Staring at the tall, blond man in the eye, Ryan grunted, “You really have no shame showing your face in front of me, do you? Feeling like a parasite now?”“I should be the one saying that.” Jared huffed and straightened his back, crossing his arms to make himself bigger. He was compensating for something else, obviously.“Well, you’re welcome to leave anytime soon,” Ryan said without a care, &ldquo
The Revenger's System 133. The Man with A Burn Scar on His Neck
Ryan grabbed a tablet from inside. “Want to watch what your parents are doing?” Violet blinked at him. “How many cameras do you have?” “Three.” “That’s not nearly enough.” “What, you want to watch your parents make love or something?” Violet groaned, “Don’t say anything like that, scum!” “Well…” “And no, that’s not what I mean.” Violet had to think of something ridiculous to take her mind off that horrendous image. “What if they kill each other?” “I hardly think so.” “Oh, you want to bet?” “Like I said, you suck in your bet against me.” “Turn it on, then. You’ll see what I mean.” Ryan turned on the tablet and saw what the CCTV he had installed showed them. “Fuck. You’re right.” Frankly, Marissa and Robert were fighting tooth and nail, like elementary kids with a crush. “See? I know my parents better than you.” “As you should.” Ryan mumbled, wincing a little
