“Yes,” he replied rather recklessly. He then said, “It’s not easy holding a wedding ceremony. It’s only once in a lifetime. We need to be serious about it.” His words sounded like a sarcastic remark to her. She raised her eyebrows and sneered. Then, she retorted firmly, “I’m so sorry, but I’ve been through that once, so excuse me for not being as excited as you.” Surprisingly, he was not angry. He peeked at her and asked, “Then, do you have any regrets? I can compensate for it this time arou
Master Levin snorted. Even if the assassination was a success and he didn’t leave any traces behind, would Edward not point an accusing finger at him? Regardless of dealing with her head-on or in the dark, he would certainly become the top suspect on Edward’s list. He sneered frigidly. If things really had developed to that point, he would rather perish together with Edward than have him destroy the Levin family. He hung up the phone and got up from the chair with the help of a stick albeit tr
Seth was pulled out of his thoughts. His brain was a stifled mess, so he just said the first thing that came into his mind, “I’ve been a little tight on money, so I figured I could get some from you.” “How much do you need?” Edward asked. “$10 million.” Seth just simply blurted out a number. Just when he was about to make up an excuse to fob him off, Edward replied, “Sure.” He paused for a moment and then continued in a harsh voice, “Don’t take drugs or gamble. You can have as many one-night
Both the door and the safe were protected by a digital door lock. Edward continued to instruct Vivian through the phone, “The password for the door is 0329.” Vivian was familiar with the four digits. It was the day when “Sean Jackson” was executed. She pressed her lips together, unable to peel her gaze away from the iron safe. It was only now that she saw the light why she couldn’t find the USB even though she turned the entire study upside down. She reckoned that Edward must have kept it insi
Fearing that those people might catch up with her, Vivian didn't stay for long. She quickly walked towards the exit as Edward instructed. The exit of the residence was located at a secluded side street. The street was flanked by ranks of trees so huge that they shielded the entire street under their thick foliage. It was the afternoon, and there were very few pedestrians on the street, so she didn't run into many people along the way. She stood beside the road, and just when she didn't know what
The words stunned Edward into momentary silence.After a while, he blurted out, “Vee, I don’t share any intimate relationship with the Levins. Whatever weight the killing of one’s predecessors carries doesn’t burden me.”He was not saying it to please her. Had any harm come to Vivian back there, Edward would have launched a rampage to pay blood unto blood. Even now, despite her apparent safety, he was boiling with rage. Anyone who dared to lay a finger on his woman and his child would be guarant
Edward’s lips curled before he strode inside at a lackadaisical pace. After stopping by the foot of the stairs to peek into his study through its ajar door, he finally turned to Master Levin and chuckled lightly. “According to you, killing my wife and unborn child is what’s best for me, eh, Gramps? Is that it?”“Eat sh*t!” Master Levin spat.Edward responded with an unbothered smile and continued his steady steps toward his grandfather. Sensing only placidness in his gait, everyone in the room r
He raised his head and stared at Edward, stunned. Then, his eyes gradually reddened before he mustered a whimper, “E-Edward?”No words came out of his cousin’s lips. Instead, Edward shot Seth a stone-cold glare, his lips thinning slightly.“F*ck it! I’m done!” Master Levin exhaled a long, exasperated sigh and shakily rose to his feet with his cane. “I blame only myself for keeping a monster around me and believing that I could tame him,” he proclaimed. “You’ll have your wish, boy. I’ll leave Gol
