"If you have anything to say, just say it, darling. There's no need to be so serious," Timothy teased with a cheeky grin.Mavis' face flushed bright crimson as she gritted her teeth in frustration. Her eyes were full of embarrassment and rage as she warned, "Timothy, for the last time, stop calling me darling!""You told me this afternoon that if you lost, I can call you darling. You're the CEO of a large corporation like Jefferson Group, but you can't keep your promises?"His words made her expression tightened. After a few seconds of silence, she reluctantly gave in. "You can call me that in private, but don't do it in public."Timothy silently chuckled. He hadn't expected the proud woman to give in. After all, she was pretty stubborn.He didn't want to push his luck and agreed happily. "No problem, darling! Tell me, what do you want to talk about?"When he stressed the word "darling", Mavis felt extremely uncomfortable. The feeling of being called that by a man who used to pic
Mavis sneered. "You'll never get to kiss me, so get ready to run naked. I'll send you my account number later. I can't wait to see how you plan to impress me." With that, she hung up the phone.A few seconds later, Timothy's phone chimed with a message from her that included her account number.He smiled mischievously and thought, "Mavis, just wait and see how I'll make you regret being so aloof tonight. My kisses will melt away that cold front you've been putting up."He glanced back at the dimly lit courtyard, then quietly slipped away. At the street corner, he rubbed his palms together and pondered how to make money.Timothy wasn't short of money. His card balance could buy several islands in a medium-sized country. Although he could just have someone transfer the money to Mavis, he found that idea too boring. Since he had nothing else to do after returning to Lormford City, he decided to have some fun.Suddenly, an idea struck him. He flicked the ash from his cigarette and h
The black Range Rover pulled up in front of Timothy and instantly grabbed the crowd's attention.The car door opened to reveal a pair of perfectly smooth, fair legs in high heels. Timothy looked at the sheer, nude stockings that accentuated every flawless detail. It was a breathtaking sight.Yvonne soon stepped out. Her dark hair cascaded gracefully, and her eyebrows and eyes held a classic beauty. She exuded a refined sophistication that sharply contrasted with the imposing black Range Rover she had just exited.Timothy's eyes twitched in surprise because her beauty rivaled Mavis'. He was sitting on a stool with a cigarette dangling from his mouth. One of his legs casually crossed over the other, and his eyes narrowed. His gaze roamed over Yvonne with an unabashed gaze.The nearby stall owners swallowed nervously, looking at her with intense fascination and desire. Seeing Timothy's indifferent attitude only made their jealousy more apparent.Yvonne calmly glanced at him. She fr
"What's wrong with being a creep? A creep who doesn't want to recharge isn't worth the title." Timothy dropped his playful grin and said seriously, "Okay, I'm done messing around. What's the matter?"Yvonne frowned and sized him up. "There's something strange happening at my home. I need someone to check it out. Is this your area of expertise?"He observed her closely and noticed a strange emotion in her eyes. So, he said thoughtfully, "I didn't notice it before, but now I've got a pretty good idea of what's been bothering you."She frowned and eyed him suspiciously. "Why do you sound like a fraud? What did you see?"Timothy cleared his throat and said earnestly, "Have you been waking up between 3:00 am and 4:00 am? Do you feel anxious and out of breath?"Maybe you've also been feeling dizzy. And I'm guessing you've also had some health issues like missing your period for a couple of months and dealing with random illnesses?"Yvonne's face went through a series of emotions as she
The courtyard exuded timeless charm. Its meticulous design featured lush greenery and trees, creating a natural screen. Pavilions were added to the tranquil atmosphere to give the space an almost enchanted feel.Timothy immediately sensed that this place was extraordinary. As he took in the scene, he noticed the stone lions at the entrance and the dragon's blood tree in the courtyard, valued at around seven million dollars.His heart skipped a beat. It was exactly as he had suspected; this place was indeed a hidden gem. Living here would not only benefit his health but could also extend his lifespan. He glanced at Yvonne with renewed interest and realized her background must be just as impressive.On the contrary, she quietly observed him, and her heart skipped a beat. Given his shabby appearance, she expected him to be nervous, uneasy, or slightly intimidated by the luxurious surroundings.But she saw none of that in him. Instead, he appeared calm and indifferent. Her instincts
Timothy barely sustained any injuries in that battle while annihilating over 70 forces. No wonder his reputation abroad was so fearsome.Unfazed by the hostility, he finished his cigarette, discarded the butt, and stubbed it out with his shoe.He said coolly, "Let's cut to the chase. I'm busy and don't have time for this." As he spoke, he stretched lazily, and the atmosphere of hostility seemed to melt away instantly.Everyone in the villa was taken aback. Xavier's mouth twitched slightly and his expression showed a flicker of surprise. Yvonne leaned in to whisper something to him, and he nodded in response.Suddenly, he gave a hoarse laugh and turned to Timothy with an apologetic smile. "I'm sorry for the earlier rudeness. Since you're busy, I'll keep it brief."He cleared his throat and continued with a serious expression. "Over the past few months, Yvonne and I have been in several accidents and sustained unexplained injuries. But that's not all. "I've also been plagued b
Xavier's piercing scream echoed through the villa.Yvonne's face turned pale as she urgently shouted, "What are you standing around for? Hurry up and help him!"The bodyguards scrambled to move the chandelier out of the way.Xavier's legs were a bloody mess, with the skin torn and mangled. He cried out, "Yvonne, hurry up and bring that gentleman back."She hesitated and said, "But your legs…""I'm fine. Just bring him back now!"Without delay, Yvonne rushed out to the front yard.Timothy was strolling down the street with a cigarette dangling from his lips. He could hear the hurried footsteps approaching from behind."Sir, please wait!"He continued walking, seemingly oblivious to the voice.Yvonne gritted her teeth and fastened her pace, stopping in front of him. "I'm really sorry about earlier. I…"Timothy frowned. "Get out of my way."Her expression turned bitter. "Sir, we didn't mean to offend you. Please don't hold it against us. We'll add another 20 million to the pay
Timothy waved his hand and said, "Burn the chair."Xavier didn't hesitate and ordered, "Get some gasoline. Burn this chair to ashes."The bodyguards carried the black throne to the center of the courtyard, doused it with gasoline, and set it ablaze. The flames roared, and thick, black smoke billowed into the sky.Yvonne watched anxiously and bit her lip. "Sir, what's wrong with the chair?"Timothy, casually puffing on a cigarette, replied, "This chair is saturated with negative energy. It's likely been associated with several deaths and is affecting the environment and people's minds. "Given the gloomy atmosphere of this courtyard and the growing negative quantum energy, it's no wonder you've been experiencing misfortune."Yvonne's skepticism faded as she realized Timothy's insights were accurate. Although she had initially thought he was a scammer, his knowledge seemed genuine.As the chair burned to ashes, the remnants were handled as per Timothy's instructions. Some were bur
