For some reason, Hermione was restless as Dylan arrived in front of her. She couldn't even look at his gaze.The way things changed, she still couldn't even wrap her head around it but it was enough to know that her plans went downhill.Somehow she knew what happened could be due to one of the weird connections Dylan has. But nothing is going to make her go back to thinking that Dylan is a hotshot or something.He's just eating off the hands of Dr. Lydia.That's the truth."What was everything about?" Dylan asked her because he found it abnormal.She texted him to come only for him to see her getting proposed to by another man. It was damn obvious it was all orchestrated by her.

"Who are you?"Dylan's voice was calm when he asked that question, however, he was angry on the inside. He knew letting his godmother be could be a mistake. Deep down, he knew his godmother was paddling on dangerous waters.But he wouldn't be sure of the situation until he knows who the guy is.This man was almost two meters tall and had a build like a bear. Just looking at him, one could tell he was a very skilled and powerful fighter.Dylan was no match for him but it doesn't mean that he won't be able to defend himself. He's also skilled in combat, anyway.The man smiled and he k mockingly said, "Chill, man. You seem to be angry. Sadly, that anger will take you nowhere cause it's of no use when you're standing in front of someone as powerful as me. You're just a mere ant going up against me!"But Dylan kept his angry gaze on. He could also tell the man had a lot to say."Well, since I was able to get you, then let's go. Someone would like to meet you. Oh, and by the way, this wine t

At the question, Mane decided to explain, "Javier Farrell is the CEO of Vento co. in Melrovia. He's probably the only person who's equal to my father in Melrovia underworld. However, he likes keeping a low profile which makes him mysterious. There was a time we had a conflict with Vento co. But he backed away for no reason and it was all forgotten.""Oh." Dylan gaped and looked at Carver. 'If he's that powerful then why is he a messenger of my uncle? How did they build a connection? But then, he's just a messenger. There's nothing he has for me.' Dylan concluded in his thought.Then Carver began to laugh hysterically. "You won't be able to get anything from me! There's a pact and we won't break it!"Dylan raised his brow at him. "So you do know something then. Tell me, I'm curious."Mane shook her head. "He won't. As he said, there's a pact and that's something he'll forever be bound with.

We were supposed to go out today but she suddenly took a rain check, saying she had somewhere else to be. Said it was important. I even suggested going with her but she said there was no need and she went all alone. Now that I think of it, she was anxious."Madeline huffed. "She's been anxious for weeks now, Hermione. She's been weird. She's been out of it. As if she was seeing a ghost or something. There's something wrong somewhere cause this is unlike mom." She summed up.Hermione looked away, knowing Madeline was right. What could have caused all this?There has to be a factor that made her mom start seeing the ghost of Ravenna. She wasn't even the one

He dismissed them.Betty scoffed but they let him pass.He wasn't able to go inside the Clifford manor since he was intercepted by two bodyguards."You were banned from this place! You're not allowed entry so get lost!"He recognized the voice.It was Jay. A trusted bodyguard of his father who was respectful to him back then and would refer to him as master.

At the question, Dwayne looked at Anthony and said, "It's just here because he has a lot to answer to me.""The fact that he's here is bad cause he's unwanted. His father is the bad luck of this family and he's a banished child! He shouldn't be here,..."Out of anger, Dylan banged the sturdy rosewood table in front of him and stood up. His eyes were as deadly cold, sending chills down everyone's spine even though they saw no reason to be scared of him."Who the hell are you to speak of my father that way in my own house?! You are all bastards and I will make you all pay for what you've caused!"A punch landed on his face. It was from Jackson."You still have the guts to talk, ah? Do you know who I am?

"What?!" Lord Owens blurted out.Azure King nodded, and sat down on the couch in front of his father's desk. "You heard me right, dad. Jackson Lance is acquainted with Dwayne Clifford, Dylan's uncle."Lord Owens lowered his gaze as he was lost in thought about the information. "If they're both acquainted, then could it be…""Dad, it seems we are gonna want to talk to Dylan about this. I don't think he's in the dark like we think he is. I think there are some things that he knows and if we can help each other, we can help him avenge his father's death." Azure King suggested.Lord Owens sighed and leaned against his swivel chair. It's been so difficult connecting the dots. And thinking about bringing Robert Davis into their custody would never work.Just like Marco Lopez, Robert Davis does not know who the real client is and that's because Jackson Lance has always been the little courier.
