Chapter 141 You Are Not Worthy of Fighting Stoneface

Cedric stood at a distance away, watching as Charles and his men struggled against their attackers. He seemed to have no intention of helping the latter.Rocco, who was standing behind Cedric, watched on as well. After ten minutes, it became evident that Charles was going to be on the losing end. Even though he and the girl were skilled fighters, they were no match for Markel's men. Markel's forces not only possessed exceptional combat abilities, they also outnumbered the two greatly. Cedric figured that Charles and his partner wouldn't be able to hold out for more than another ten minutes. Should their reinforcements fail to make it on time, Markel would undoubtedly win this battle. Markel despised the security team. It was because of them that he had to suffer so much. Though the former leader of this area, he had been reduced to a mere pawn who depended on running errands to make a living. Now, the security team was making even that difficult for him. Naturally, it was cl

Chapter 142 Everything Hurts

Thanks to Cedric, the tide of the battle quickly swayed in Charles' favor. Charles snapped back to his senses and began fighting back. With Rocco's assistance, Markel and his men were soon subdued. It was then that Charles' support team finally arrived. They took the men away and cleared the scene."Charles! T-The antidote!" Despite seeing his men get taken away, Markel could only force his hands to stay still at his sides and resist the urge to claw at his throat. He writhed in pain on the ground, releasing grating screams. Charles watched Markel with a wicked smirk. "Markel, evil never wins. Serves you right."It was obvious that Markel didn't hear a word Charles said as he thrashed around, begging Charles for the antidote.Pleased, Charles tossed Markel a bottle of water. "Drink it!"Without pausing to see what was in front of him, Markel grabbed the bottle and chugged all its contents. It was then that the burning in his throat finally eased slightly. He sat on the gr

Chapter 143 Follow the Protocol

After returning to her room, Faye put her headphones back on and heard Charles softly but desperately calling out for her. "What's wrong?" Don't tell her that Charles had been taken down in the short time she'd been away.If that were the case, she might need to reconsider who she picked as the deputy team leader.It'd be embarrassing to have such a weak deputy team leader. "Finally!" Charles almost gave up in despair. He was relieved to finally hear Faye's voice again. "I was wondering if you know someone called 'C'?"C?Faye narrowed her eyes. "Just tell me."Charles composed himself and said in all seriousness, "Remember how you asked me to look into XL after a batch of goods was detained last time? Well, I didn't pay too much attention that time. However, a man called 'C' came in just now."Charles carried on. "It seems like he wants to talk to me about the goods, and I happened to remember you requesting these documents. So I was wondering how you'd like me to deal w

Chapter 144 You Are the One Who Should Leave

Faye was surprised when she received Mauve's call since this was the first time Mauve had called her. "Hello?" Faye went to the balcony to pick up the call. "Faye? It's me, Mauve." Mauve's voice was shaky. A bad feeling arose, and Faye quickly replied, "Yes, it's me. What's wrong?""Is Avery with you?" Mauve asked. "Last night, she received a call not too long after you left. She said she needed to deal with an urgent matter and rushed back to the city. "However, she never replied when I asked her whether she was home yet. I tried calling her a few times but she never picked up …""Please calm down, Mrs. Stewart. She might have gotten so busy that she forgot to reply to you. I'll head over to her place right now." It wouldn't be the first time Avery had been unreachable after a night of drinking, so Faye didn't think too much about it. She consoled Avery's mom and drove out. Frederic scowled upon learning Faye had left and silently admonished her for leaving him behind.

Chapter 145 Hidden Secrets

Dusting herself off, Faye let out a deep sigh and surveyed the people lying on the ground. The scene was grim as the men either had broken limbs or swollen faces. From the corner of her eye, she noticed the six or seven men who had been injured by Jason earlier emerging from one corner. They all held weapons and rushed over to help, but stopped in their tracks when they saw what had happened. Faye's fair face was flushed from the exertion as she glanced at the newcomers. Smiling, she waved them over. "Come here."Instantly, the men took several steps back. They looked at Faye as if she was a monster. They had heard a fight going on earlier, and even though they didn't see who beat their men up, Faye's presence was more than enough to raise suspicions. The leader of the group asked cautiously, "Who are you?"Faye responded with a lazy smile. "That's not important. What is important, however—" Her expression turned serious as she snapped, "Is that you've hurt someone who belo

Chapter 146 You’re Flattering Me

Avery had anticipated Edward's move. After all, he was now her shareholder, and it would be uncharacteristic of him to stay silent.Mentally, she had prepared herself for either his humiliation or his dogged romantic pursuit.

She gradually put the matter in the back of her mind, but all that changed when she received a call from him yesterday.Given the circumstances, she understood that she had to give in and meet him–no matter the pretext.

Chapter 147 It’s Not Too Late To Change Your Mind

Marie had invited Avery, assuming the latter would turn down the wedding invitation. She implied that Avery was poor by emphasizing that the flight and accommodation were paid for, all while boasting Edward's generosity.Therefore, she was aghast to see Avery happily accept the invitation card. "Wow, Mr. Chase is indeed wealthy and generous. How many guests have you invited? It's incredibly thoughtful of you to turn your wedding into a Melvina getaway for all your guests by covering their travel and lodging expenses."Avery was well aware that Edward's friends were just as affluent as he was, so none of them would flinch at the cost of the destination wedding. Her comment was nothing more than an attempt to embarrass Marie.Now, Avery had made it sound like the newlyweds would shoulder the costs for all their guests. Everyone around them clapped and cheered, praising Edward for being so giving.Among their childhood friends, some were not particularly successful or well-off. They h

Chapter 148 You’re a Bigger Bitch

The atmosphere in the corridor became eerie and tense as Jason's intimidating presence left Edward frozen in fear. Edward couldn't muster a word and teetered on the edge of a mental breakdown - the searing pain in his wrist ironically grounding him.Edward finally collected himself as he let out a low gasp in response to the intensifying pain in his wrist. He glared at Jason and stammered, "Ja-Jason, y-you …""I don't mind giving you a refresher of what I told you before," Jason warned. Dressed in a black shirt, he looked imposing and scared Edward out of his wits.Meanwhile, Avery smoothed her shirt and said sarcastically, "Mr. Keane, I'm afraid there's been a misunderstanding. No one here is 'your woman.'"She lifted her chin with poise and grace, but her eyes were filled with a look of disgust. She added, "By the way, Mr. Chase, I have recorded your defamatory comments just now. I will take legal action against you when necessary.""Avery, you bitch!" As Edward couldn't do an

Chapter 149 I’m Here for You

Jason had been smoking by the entrance to calm his thoughts. Just as he was about to finish his cigarette, he noticed a woman who looked like Avery being carried out from the bar. Without a second thought, he shadowed the group.The men stuffed the abducted woman into the trunk and slammed it shut. Just as they were getting into the car, Jason sprang into action, delivering a powerful punch to one of the abductors.Acting on instinct, he rushed to free the trapped woman, but belatedly noticed the two other men in the vehicle.Seeing their accomplice squirming on the ground after being hit, the two men immediately ignited the car's engine and sped away. Jason desperately clung to the trunk lid, but the drivers made sharp, evasive maneuvers as they gained speed in an attempt to shake him off—ultimately causing him to lose his grip.To make matters worse, a group of accomplices from the bar swarmed Jason when they noticed him chasing the fleeing vehicle. Jason took them on one by on

Chapter 150 I’m a Capable Woman

Cedric was in a state of panic as he rushed to the hospital. His phone had died right after Faye told him the hospital she was at. He had no idea what had happened to her.He rushed to the hospital in his car and unexpectedly ran into Jason on the first floor. Breathless, Cedric asked, "Jason, what brings you here?"Jason was equally surprised to run into Cedric again because of Faye. He asked in return, "And why are you here?""I'm here to see Faye," Cedric answered and was ready to make a quick exit. But before he could leave, Jason grabbed his arm and joked, "Whoa, where are you off to? Are you going to ditch me for your wife?"Cedric's expression soured as he replied, "Let's chat after I check on her."Jason couldn'thelp but laugh. "Come with me."Cedric was taken aback and asked, "Do you know where she is?"Jason lifted his arm slightly and said, "I know where she is. She's the one who bandaged my arm."Cedric appeared astonished. What had transpired in the few days he had
