Hermione was overwhelmed by the promise. "Thank you so much, Jake!"Jake smiled and looked up at everyone watching. He was proud of himself.But little did he know that his father was madly on his way toward them despite holding a crutch since Lord Owens gave him a big lesson by almost breaking one of his legs. In his driver's seat was his bodyguard who was around his thirties. Blaine Hugh."That boy. That boy will be my death someday."Blain was extremely confused as to why Marcus felt the need to rush to apologize to someone and what wrong he did to Lord Owens that got his leg broken. He asked, "Master, is this really important? Don't you think we should check on your leg first?"Marcus was anxious and panicking as he said, "What do you know? That son of mine, that Jake is about to dig our graves. I can't let that happen. He's proposing to the wife of Lord Clifford! Lord Owens is gonna have my head if I don't go there and stop it! So move!"Blaine immediately sped up as he heard tha

"Who's that old man that just dropped in front of Dylan? He's disrupting the fun." Someone said,"Why would he even kneel? What did he do wrong?" Someone else asked.Marcus looked up and saw Dylan's cold eyes on him. It scared him half to death.He let out a shaky breath and began slapping himself hard on the face.Everyone in the company gasped at the sight, including Hermione.Marcus didn't even go easy on himself cause his face was swollen for merely eight slaps. He didn't even look at his son, he was just focused mainly on Dylan's expression changed as he looked at him with an apologetic gaze.Those with sharp eyes noticed the man's car was Bentley worth five hundred thousand dollars. It was something that they couldn't help but gawk at.Hermione frowned since she could swear the man was familiar. She looked at Jake who stood there frozen to the core and she hit him before saying, "What's going on now? Who the hell is that old man and why is he kneeling in front of Dylan? It's wei

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. She obviously wanted him to see it and get humiliated by everyone.She wanted to ruin his image like it hasn't already been ruined. What more do they want from him? Well, apart from the divorce.What she did is pointless.Does she even know what she wants anymore?She is just a confused bitch!Hermione cleared

"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. It's one of the rules of the underworld. No snitches. No whistleblower. You won't get to live on

That same night, Hermione and Madeline stayed at the hospital and stared at their mother worriedly. She's been unconscious for a long while now and it made them very uneasy. Then Madeline broke the eerie silence and asked, "What is happening? What's going on with mom?"Hermione shook her head, and sighed before answering, "No idea. 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

Betty was taken aback as Dylan bawled at her. Her heart became very unstable.Dylan let out a calming breath, deciding they were not worth his stress. They're kids anyway.Betty is just twenty-one, Claire is twenty and Tyler is nineteen."You guys should shift. Get the hell out of my way." 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. But now, this man seems to have become nothing more than a lapdog.However, this lapdog has the guts…the effrontery to tell him to get lost? What a fool!Dylan chuckled mockingly. "You, a mere lapdog, my father's watchdog is telling me to get lost? Do you know who I am?"Betty burst out laughing and went to him. "Of course, we know who you are,
