"I've said it, today's my birthday. If anyone makes me unhappy, I'll make sure they're unhappy too!" Sawyer sneered.Selene was the class princess, and she was known for her aloofness. Despite Sawyer's persistent attempts and various flirtatious moves, she remained indifferent. Her actions only fueled his strong desire to conquer her.He didn't care if she was willing, or if he had to force her. He would have her today! Otherwise, his reputation among his circle of friends would be nothing but a joke!Sawyer pinned Selene down on the sofa, and forced her to drink. She was too weak to resist as the bitter liquor slid down her throat.Her classmates watched helplessly as Sawyer forced Selene to follow his demands. They usually laughed and joked together, but none of them lifted a finger to intervene.Perhaps, this was human nature. In the face of power and influence, dignity was as worthless as scrap paper!"Fred, where are you? I miss you so much. I regret not listening to you. I
"What do you mean by that? Are you trying to bribe me? Do you think I'm the kind of person who can be bought with money?" Byron's voice was stern, but his expression softened subtly.That was right. He had a strong passion for luxury cars, especially supercars. There were dozens of them in his own garage alone.Sawyer sensed an opportunity, and pressed on, "It's just a personal gesture of goodwill. Besides, Mr. Morrison, you may not know this, but these two college girls are just acting innocent to inflate their value!"Byron raised an eyebrow. "Really? They both look like they've been crying.""Women nowadays are all drama queens. Mr. Morrison, you're too pure-hearted to understand the ways of the world. College girls selling themselves is nothing new! If you don't believe me, you can check it out yourself!" Sawyer asserted confidently."In honor of your birthday, I'll trust you this once. Remember, keep it low-key and quiet! After all, this is my turf," Byron said, raising his
With this in mind, Byron probed cautiously, "Do you happen to have a brother named Frederick?"Selene was stunned. "How did you know that?" Byron almost blacked out and collapsed to the ground.This couldn't be happening! This was too much of a coincidence!Frederick's sister was in trouble on his turf?!If that man found out, it could mean disaster for the entire Morrison family!This was the younger sister of the infamous grim reaper—the man who had annihilated the entire Crimson Robe Society!Seeing that Byron completely ignored him, Sawyer felt like someone had slapped him hard, and his face burned with humiliation. Sawyer stepped forward and shouted, "Byron, I'm talking to you! Do you think you're so great just because you have your family's backing? My family isn't to be trifled with, either!"But the next moment, Byron suddenly grabbed Sawyer's neck and growled fiercely, "It's all your fault! It's all because of you scoundrels! You've dragged me into this mess! How da
"Were you the one who messed with my sister?" Frederick growled. Frederick's face was filled with killing intent. His first words upon entering the room instantly chilled the atmosphere by several degrees.Byron felt his blood freeze, his whole body stiffening as he shivered, "I... It wasn't me... It wasn't me!"Selene quickly stepped forward to explain. "Fred, it wasn't him! It was Sawyer and his gang! Mr. Morrison saved us!"When Frederick saw Selene, he hugged her without a word and examined her from head to toe for injuries. "Selly! Are you okay? Are you hurt anywhere?"Selene blushed. "Fred, I'm fine. You don't have to be so dramatic. I'm not a three-year-old."As an adult, being hugged like this in public was quite embarrassing.But Frederick simply ruffled her hair gently and said, "In my eyes, you'll always be my little sister. You'll always need my protection."Byron watched on, both shocked and relieved. He was shocked that Frederick, known for his ruthlessness, wa
Byron's heart skipped a beat, and he stammered, "W-Wipe out their family? Mr. Lester, killing them is one thing, but taking down their entire family? That's not so simple!"After all, the Hampton family was one of the top-tier clans in Centropolis, with a complex web of connections and significant backing. Byron might not care about second or third-rate families, but if the Hampton family were pushed to the brink, who knows how desperately they would fight back? They might even try to bring Byron down with them!“If you don’t dare, then I’ll do it myself,” Frederick said expressionlessly.No matter what, Sawyer and his people had to die. They had crossed a line by threatening his family, and it had to be paid for in blood. He pulled out his phone to give Phoenix the order, but Byron suddenly stopped him. “Wait!”“There's no need to trouble you with such trivial matters, Mr. Lester. I can handle this myself!” Byron declared resolutely.Byron knew that to gain Frederick's favor,
Inside, a few people were having a great time singing. Byron quickly stepped forward to introduce them. "Mr. Gold! I've brought Mr. Lester, the man you've been wanting to meet!"A man with a short haircut, wearing a cross and a malachite ring, immediately put down his microphone and laughed heartily."Byron, you truly are my good friend! You said you’d do it, and you did! Mr. Lester, I've been eagerly awaiting this day!"The man stepped forward excitedly to shake Frederick’s hand."I've never been this anxious, not even when chasing women!" he said with a broad grin.Frederick’s mouth twitched in surprise. This man looked like a country bumpkin who had struck it rich, but his down-to-earth demeanor somehow made Frederick feel unexpectedly at ease."Mr. Lester, I’m Felix Gold. This is my wife, Wendy Reed, and my butler, Gus Olson," Felix introduced enthusiastically.Byron added, "Mr. Gold is a wealthy businessman from Aston. He owns half the shops in Centropolis, and has vast o
Upon hearing this, Wendy instantly glared at Frederick. "You're a quack doctor! Do you even have a medical license to boldly claim you can diagnose me?"Byron intervened awkwardly, "Mrs. Gold, I've personally witnessed Mr. Lester's medical skills. They're no less than those famous doctors in Centropolis!""I'm carrying the only flesh and blood of the Gold family. If anything happens to me or the child, neither of you will leave this place alive!" Wendy showed no mercy, and continued arrogantly, "I'll have to advise my husband not to associate with riffraff like you. It degrades his own status!"Her words made Felix's face alternate between red and pale with displeasure. "Wendy, don't be so rude. They are my guests! Besides, what's the harm in taking a pulse? Could he really mess that up?" Byron chimed in with a reassuring smile, "I guarantee it! If anything goes wrong with your pregnancy, I'll pay with my life!"Wendy rolled her eyes, extended her manicured hand, and said disdain
As soon as Frederick said those words, the atmosphere in the room instantly froze. The faces of everyone present turned dark and tense.Felix erupted in rage, and slapped Wendy across the face. "You wretch! If I'm really infertile, then how did you conceive?!"Wendy covered her face, and sobbed. "Felix, how could you believe the nonsense of a quack? Why would you suspect the people by your side? I've spent the best years of my youth with you!"Gus quickly interjected, "Yes, Master, you're often away on business, and Madam is alone at home. She's sacrificed so much for you. How could you doubt her?""And is this man even a real doctor? He can't even produce a medical license!" Gus added skeptically.Felix hesitated, seemingly torn between belief and disbelief.With tears streaming down her face, Wendy continued, "Fine, you hit me for a scammer you just met a few minutes ago! I see how it is. I'm going to the hospital to terminate this pregnancy. Consider it a bastard child!"Feli
