Maurice and Eve were fired.They were beaten up by the security guards before scrambling off, sobbing loudly."You all as well!" Henry turned to look at the remaining saleswomen furiously. "Playing with your phones during work? You didn't welcome the customers at all. The purchasing contract had bee
"Wanda, calm down!"In the presidential suite, the bespectacled man called Kelvin Scruggs wrapped the trembling Wanda tightly in a blanket. His eyes reddened. He said in almost a whisper, "Be quiet. Mister Ledger is just next door!"Wanda trembled and stifled her sobs, not daring to be too loud."Fr
"Miss? Miss?! Ray!"Amber anxiously sat in the Porsche, waiting until the Audi A8 pulled up behind them. She then flung open the door and scooped up the girl who was a stranger to her, her heart skipping a beat as she noticed the girl's bruised forehead.She was hurt, and it looked bad.Thankfully,
Never in her stint in the limelight had Wanda tasted such a bitter dose of humiliation.Amber had assumed that the hospital's bigwigs—the dean, department heads, and top-notch experts—were all there for her, ready to roll out the red carpet with the most thorough and expert medical workup.To her su
Since Wanda's unexpected meeting with Amber, the hustle of moving out of Belmont Hills wrapped up. The people from the second-hand furniture market had not even started their trek, and the house remained as it had always been, unchanged."No need to worry about furniture. You won't have to bother wi
Meanwhile, at the Chesire family's Belmont Hills residence…No sooner had Amber stepped out than Wanda quickly locked the living room's security door, collapsed onto the chilly mattress, and let the tears stream down her face.She had spent the entire day and night in a state of high alert, cocoonin
Wanda staggered slightly as Alexander spoke, her eyes briefly losing focus.Safe and sound as New Chesire's brand ambassador…That was right.Kelvin had said that Ol' Mare's underworld was locked down tight, and even the Ledger family could not get a foothold. There were Mister Kane and Miss Chesire
Once Marcus issued his unwavering order, Andrew's doubts vanished into thin air.He was well aware of Marcus' fearsome reputation.As the third young master of the Ledger family, he was cherished since childhood. Not only did he have the most elite and professional security team, but he also specifi
"Kill!" As Alexander stepped onto the Empyrean Slope, a monstrous wave of killing intent crashed into his mind."Hmph, you think you're the only one fierce?" he muttered coldly, unleashing his own killing intent to counter the assault.He was the Temple Lord Kane, a man who had tread through mountai
At Battleforge Summit, a place where peril lurked at every turn.As the group continued their ascent, they lost a few more members. The ancient battlefield was riddled with deadly traps and poisonous remnants. The pools along the way harbored creatures so aggressive, it was clear they were not of mo
"Ah…" Alexander yawned, waiting patiently. Without a proper map, he would probably take half a day searching for directions. Battleforge Summit, though seemingly small, had a complex terrain.Time was slipping away, and Maxwell and Crimson Wyrm Master finally reached an agreement. The two-meter-wide
Early in the next morning, Maxwell's group of 40—the weakest among them a Lord of War—gathered quietly by the lake at the back of a mountain, somewhere in Shielded Valley. They stood in silence, their expressions grave.Though many had never ventured to Battleforge Summit, they had all heard of its
"Enemy attack!"Brenda sprang to her feet, drawing her sharp blade. Tensions had been high lately, and everyone's nerves were on edge."Perfect timing! I've been waiting to kill him sooner or later!"Alexander's killing intent surged, and his battle spirit ignited.Crimson Wyrm Master was destined t
As soon as Alexander asked the question, a heavy silence fell over the chamber. The three Guardians exchanged uneasy glances, but no one uttered a word."Never mind if you don't want to say anything, I'm just curious," said Alexander, sitting down cross-legged and closing his eyes to heal his wounds
"As you wish!"Crimson Wyrm Master channeled a furious surge of power into his spear, standing firm as he built up his momentum. Having fought to this point, he knew he had to unleash his most devastating attack."Here it comes!"All eyes were locked on the impending clash, each person holding their
"You fool! Don't think you'll be the last one laughing!"The Second and Third Guardians charged forward, joining forces to deflect Crimson Wyrm's relentless assault. Even with their combined strength, they could barely withstand a few moves."Do you really think we're without reinforcements?" roared
"Heh. I wouldn't dare accept your gift!" Maxwell scoffed, his voice steady despite the looming battle. Politeness had no place in this confrontation."Oh, but I'm sure you'll appreciate it," sneered Crimson Wyrm Master, his eyes gleaming with malice as he pointed at Darko, who lay crumpled on the gr
