In the premium suite of the Shengville Hotel, Kayson was sticking needles into Yvette’s acupoints with deadly precision.Soon, beads of sweat were beginning to ooze out of Yvette’s forehead due to the pain, and Kayson was truly amazed that she was able to hold the pain back.‘It seems like both of them have been wanting a kid for a long time.’Kayson removed the needles roughly ten minutes later.Jason, who had been watching from the side, hurriedly went forward and asked worriedly, “Darling, how do you feel?” “It was painful at first, but I can feel a surge of warmth forming below my stomach now that Dr. Yarde has removed the needles,” replied Yvette. Jason nodded. “I’ll send Dr. Yarde back. You stay here and get some rest.”“I want to…”Kayson was listening to their conversation, so he said, “That’s not necessary. Mrs. Queen, it’s important if you can get some rest now. Remember, you can only take a bath after 30 minutes.”Yvette wore a smile and said, “Kayson, if you don’
“My grandpa told me that every security guard here is a retired elite soldier. They’re exceedingly powerful and great!” “But he’s the one who challenged me,” Kayson said helplessly.The last thing Lindsy wanted to see was Kayson dropped to the ground with his body filled with bruises. As such, she hurriedly added, “It doesn’t matter. I know you’re a good fighter as well, but you’re no match for him!“He’s just being polite when he says he’s weaker than you. Do you really think you’re stronger than him?”Kayson pulled her hand away and patted her head softly. “Don’t worry. I’ll be fine.” “What?” Lindsy was stumped. She stomped her feet in exasperation and said, “Fine! Don’t come and cry at me after getting your *ss kicked later!”“It won’t happen.” Kayson seemed to be shrouded in a shadow under the light. Lindsy felt the man in front of her had become a different person for a moment. He was powerful, strong, and mysterious. The security guard got into a fighting posture and
Raymond was momentarily stunned. After that, he mumbled, “What the hell was that for? Is it because it’s late now, so she’s inviting me to her place? How can she be so shameless?”After that, he turned around and looked at Kayson fervently.“He’s so strong… He didn’t even give his all when he was fighting me just now! If he hadn’t pulled his punches, I wouldn’t have even lasted for a round!”Kayson was not aware of the thoughts in Lindsy and Raymond’s minds.In the meantime, he had already arrived at Mansion No.8.The person who opened the door was Sadie’s mother, Beatrice.“You’re back, Kace! Are you hungry? I’ll make something for you.” Beatrice hoped that Kayson could call her “mother,” but Kayson had never once called her that.That being said, she was not going to force him if he did not want to. After all, they hadn't held the wedding yet. When they got married, she was confident that he would change his mind if she gave him a gift.Therefore, she was not worried at all
“Yeah, it’s me. Johnny, I’m sorry but—”“Johnny? Who’s Johnny? Mr. Wolfenden Sr., please stop calling me that. We’re not that close at all!” Johnson interrupted Hugh forcefully.Since Hugh had put the call on speaker, Liam and Sadie heard what Johnson said and were stunned.Veins were bulging on Hugh’s forehead. However, he took a deep breath and smiled. “I understand, I understand. Here’s the thing, Mr. Zigler, I have a favor to ask…“I heard that Mr. Queen from Triumph Land is coming to Clouspring. I hope you can help us set up an appointment with Mr. Queen. We would like to buy him dinner.”“Hmm?” Johnson scoffed. “Mr. Wolfenden Sr. Mr. Queen is busy, and he would only see the president from the Gillete Group. As for Wolfenden Corp., you guys don’t have what it takes to see him. I suggest you drop the thought.“Besides, here’s some advice for you. You’re no match for the Gillete Group. Surrender the shares early and let the Gillete Group complete the annexation.“Otherwise… I
“The Gillete Group?” Jason frowned slightly.Kuhn immediately explained, “Mr. Queen, the Gillete Group is one of the top enterprises in Clouspring. They are financially stable and have a strong network. They are in a completely different league when compared to Wolfenden Corp.“Mr. Queen, if you are looking for a collaboration partner in Clouspring, the clear choice would be the Gillete Group. On the other hand, Wolfenden Corp. is not financially strong, and there have been rumors of poor quality issues…”Jason patiently listened to Kuhn’s explanation without interrupting him. After getting the most out of it, he calmly queried. “From what I have heard, Wolfenden Corp. seems to be operating without any problem. The few projects that they have undertaken in Clouspring have gotten them some good reviews.”“Those projects are just of a mediocre standard. There is nothing much in their portfolio worth shouting out about,” Kuhn replied with a disdainful look on his face. “If you are ava
“Grandpa, I’m calling it a night.” Sadie announced her departure.“Okay, go on along,” said Hugh.While Kayson was making his next move on the chessboard, he asked, “Grandpa Hugh, I have something that I would like to ask.”“Go ahead and ask. I will tell you everything I know,” Hugh replied while making his move.“Actually, I wanted to ask about how you got acquainted with my mentor. What happened between the two of you? He told me that he owed you a favor. I know my mentor quite well and suffice to say, it’s not something common for him to owe someone a favor,” said Kayson.Hugh’s brow twitched before he moved one of his chess pieces and said quietly, “Your mentor… Owes me quite a lot. It’s not something that you can put a price tag on. Kace, why are you suddenly asking about this? Could it be that you are planning to leave when the favor is paid back?”Kayson maintained his composure while replying, “No. It’s just that I’m curious about what happened.”“Hahaha, what your mento
“Ms. Sadie, I was wondering if you would be available tonight? I have some details about Plot No. 8 that I would like to discuss with you,” asked Jason.Sadie was caught off guard. She carefully asked back, “Mr. Queen, are you referring to the Westcity Plot No. 8?”Jason answered, “Of course.”Sadie felt a surge of happiness and excitement. However, she calmed herself down and cautiously probed, “With regards to Westcity Plot No. 8, I heard from Mr. Lawson that…”“Are you referring to Trevor Lawson?” Jason chuckled. “He most likely duped you. Why would I discuss such an important thing with a mere shareholder?”“Thank you, Mr. Queen! I am free and available at any time!” Sadie replied excitedly.“Okay then. Let’s arrange to meet up at 6:30 p.m. tonight. Let’s meet up at the lobby of the Shengville Hotel. Oh, and if it’s possible, perhaps you could invite the chairman to join us as well,” said Jason.After ending the call, Sadie was so happy and grateful for this opportunity that
Sadie, Liam, and Kayson stopped in their tracks. They saw two familiar faces, Johnson and his son, Kuhn!Johnson and Kuhn were equally stumped to see Liam and Sadie. Why would Liam and Sadie be there?Liam did not expect to meet them both. With the smile from his face gone, he greeted them. “Mr. Zigler, Kuhn, nice to meet you two here.”Kuhn squinted his eyes slightly and asked with a condescending tone, “Are you here for dinner, Liam? Which client are you meeting up with?”It was at this time that Liam recalled the call between Johnson and Hugh and felt bitter at how the call had gone. And now, Kuhn was condescendingly talking to them.Liam replied, “I am just meeting up with a regular client, who is definitely not as important as your client.”Kuhn chuckled. “That is without saying. Tonight, we are meeting up with Mr. Gillete and Mr. Queen, the director of Triumph Land. We don’t have dinner with just anybody.” Kuhn was trying to agitate Liam on purpose. After all, they had alre
