A heavyweight martial artist with an A-level reputation had been threatened. Three men brandishing firearms were taking aim at his head, and most terrifying of all, the mafia boss stood before him. If John still dared to conceal the identity of the businessman who had hired them, his days in this world were undoubtedly ended.“T-that person is Louis. All I know is that he’s the son of a big company owner around here,” John revealed with a trembling voice of fear.Initially, Christian had thought that Declan was the one paying off the mafia. That’s why Christian was somewhat surprised.“What? Louis?” Christian asked with a shocked expression.Diego noticed Christian’s incredulous expression, and he took action by grabbing John’s hair, saying, “Answer truthfully! Dare to lie, and I’ll cut your tongue!”“Arghh! I’m not lying! I swear I’m telling the truth!” John exclaimed, trying to endure the pain.Christian raised his hand towards Diego and lowered it as a sign for Diego to release his
Paul was the most influential mafia boss, holding sway over the entire South-East of New York. He was the undisputed king of his territory, and all his orders were to be carried out without question by his subordinates. But... would John follow suit?John was frozen in place, unresponsive to his boss’s commands.The man found himself in a difficult position. In this situation, he had to think carefully about which order to follow - Paul’s or Darrell’s.Seeing John’s lack of response, Paul grew furious. He said, “Why are you just standing there? Do you intend to defy my orders?”Christian hissed in disapproval, then said, “Come on, why are you getting all worked up? Aren’t we here to have a party? We’d better enjoy ourselves.”Louis clenched his fists tightly, seething at Christian’s behavior.“Hey, you worthless brat! Who do you think you are? Who’d want to party with you? You’re not on our level! You’re fit to be a servant and a plaything,” Louis said, his face flushed with anger.“O
Of course, both people turned pale. Seeing Paul’s leg being chopped off without mercy made them panic.“Louis, how is it?” Chloe asked.Louis shook his head. He didn’t know what to do. Even the option of apologizing and pardoning did not occur to him.“Oh yeah, you guys are having a party, can I join your party? Because I heard earlier that you two rejected me because I’m poor,” said Christian as he walked over to the two people.“We’re not having a party, Christian,” said Louis.“Well, you guys were drinking here very happily. Is that not a party? So, what are you doing?” Christian asked.“Never mind Christian, just end this. Chloe and I want to go home,” said Louis, who was still reluctant to apologize. “Chloe and you want to go home,” said Christian with a suppressed voice and an annoying face. “Hey! It’s all you guys who started it! just end this? Do not dream!”Chloe held Louis’s arm so tightly that it made marks on his arm.“So, what do you want?” Louis asked. “You want money?
After ending the phone call, Christian fell silent for a moment. Then, he turned to Darrell and said, “You handle the rest; it’s up to you how you want to play with that woman. But don’t overdo it. I have to go.”Darrell stood up and bowed, saying, “Understood, Mr. Demetri. Be careful on the road.”Afterward, Darrell turned to one of his subordinates and ordered, “You escort Mr. Demetri to his destination. Be careful on the way, and remember, Mr. Demetri’s safety is more important than anything else!”“Ready, Chief!” said the sturdy man with a crescent moon tattoo on his left wrist.Christian then walked out of Paul’s headquarters and headed to the hospital, driven by his subordinate in a black jeep.Seeing Christian leave, Louis seized the opportunity to free himself. He continued to shout to have his mouth gag removed.Darrell, who had been watching Diego play on Chloe’s body, was irritated. He got up from his seat and walked over to Louis.Thud!A hard slap landed on Louis’s cheek.
Orion’s attitude was truly irritating, and he lacked courtesy.Frustrated, Yve quickly reclaimed the gift, saying, “This isn’t your concern!”“Yve, I’m like this because I care about you. I don’t want you to be a naive woman continuously taken advantage of by that poor man. Even for buying a gift, you have to do it yourself. This has gone too far,” Orion said.Christian calmly walked to his motorcycle and took a red box with golden ribbons that was still on it.“What’s he doing? Running away in embarrassment? Good!” Orion sneered while crossing his arms.Christian returned with the red box and said, “I apologize, it’s just a gift, I can still buy it myself. Look, I’ve already prepared it.”Orion furrowed his brow and said, “Is that the gift you brought? Are you sure it’s not embarrassing? You know for yourself, who the De Delta Family is, right? We don’t accept cheap gifts. So, you’d better take your gift back.”“I’m sure the gift I’m giving is more valuable than what you brought,” Ch
That support was like a lightning strike in the middle of the day, piercing Christian’s heart. The applause from the family members celebrating the engagement cut deep into Christian’s soul. Were they all blind? Here was Yve’s husband’s, Christian. How could they celebrate the engagement as though Yve didn’t exist? “This is absolutely wonderful! Finally, your dream of becoming a member of the Wilson Family is coming true,” Orion said, gazing at the silent and stunned Yve. He then took a glass of wine and said, “Let’s raise our glasses to the engagement, Yve!” Like a commander giving orders, all the family members at the party simultaneously raised their glasses. “To the engagement!” This party became even more joyful with Declan’s proposal to Yve. Christian clenched his fists tightly, filled with emotion. After holding back for a while, Christian finally gazed deeply at Camila and said, “Mom! I love Yve. Please give me a chance to prove that I am worthy of being her husband.”
“Should I do it?” Camila asked.Even though she knew that Christian had already given a very luxurious gift, she still felt reluctant to pursue him. It was no longer about money for Camila; there was something else between her and Declan.Now Declan’s face appeared gloomy as well. His engagement was now at risk because Christian, from somewhere, had managed to bring a lavish gift.Marigold turned to Camila and said, “Yes, of course, you should chase him. I think he’s hiding something.”“That’s right, sis. Hurry, go after him. Regardless, someone who can afford a master Cedro diamond necklace is worth considering,” Larina said.Lyka put the diamond necklace back into the box and said, “You are all so embarrassing. You were the ones who drove Christian away earlier, but now you’re asking for Christian to be here.”Marigold and Larina felt offended by what Lyka had said, but they couldn’t complain right away because Lyka had already gone to her room on the second floor of the house.“You
The next day,Christian was diligently reviewing some files, fully engrossed in his work. Suddenly, the door to his office swung open rudely, without even the courtesy of a knock, startling Christian.“Dorota! What’s going on? You scared me!” Christian exclaimed, his brows furrowing.Dorota, gasping for breath, bent over with both hands resting on her knees. She appeared utterly exhausted and... panicked.“Sir... um... have you seen this morning’s news? It’s gossip,” Dorota inquired.Christian shook his head with a puzzled look. “No, why would I bother with gossip news? It’s a waste of time.”“That’s not what I mean; take a look at this!” Dorota said as she handed him her phone.Christian became increasingly perplexed. He reluctantly took Dorota’s phone. “A video? What kind of video? Gossip?” Christian asked.His thoughts immediately went to the chaotic scene at his in-law’s birthday party. Could someone have recorded it?He then played the video. Within seconds, he was shocked by th
