Chapter 61

After speaking, Yuvan didn't wait for Wolfie to explain. He turned to Ted with a smile and said, "Ted, Viper, and I were wondering just now. Mr. Zarkonnen's house is usually so quiet, yet suddenly it seemed so lively today. We figured they must be anticipating a distinguished guest. Now it's clear... that guest is you."Wolfie didn't matter much, and even Mr. Zarkonnen wasn't a concern. However, Yuvan and Viper absolutely had to show Ted some respect. Fresh from forging an alliance, they weren't about to turn around and go after someone accompanying Ted. It wasn't about disrespecting Mr. Zarkonnen—it was about disrespecting Ted.Ted could tell that Wolfie's careless words had already offended Yuvan and Viper. And the insult hadn't stopped there—it had reached him as well.Ted chuckled. "Well, I'm hardly a distinguished guest. Mr. Zarkonnen invited me, and Wolfie personally came to get me. I couldn't refuse such a kind gesture. Plus, I knew the old man was turning eighty soon, so

This was exactly why they called Viper ruthless.His words sent a shiver down Wolfie's spine, even someone like him—who wasn't afraid of death.To be tied up, stripped down, and have it all filmed and posted? If that happened, forget about Wolfie's future in the business. It wouldn't just be his career that was over—his very dignity would be on the line too.The noise caught the attention of their respective men.Wolfie hadn't come alone. His men, witnessing the slap, surged forward in a rage. But the instant they recognized Viper and Yuvan, they faltered.On the other side, Viper's and Yuvan's men also moved in, clearly poised to escalate the situation to a full-blown fight.At that moment, Ted chuckled and spoke up. "Wolfie, do you still refuse to apologize? Or do you really think you're more powerful than Mr. Zarkonnen? I mean, even if Mr. Zarkonnen himself were here, I doubt he'd speak like that. So, what makes you think you have the right?"Viper burst out laughing, nodding

Viper was bold and arrogant, and his hostility towards a certain person was obvious.And yet, no one dared to say a word.Ted chuckled and nodded. He gave the two men a slight bow and said, "My sincere thanks. And rest assured," he added. "I'm not one to suffer in silence. If I feel wronged in any way, you'll be the first to know. I'll be sure to come running to you for justice."Everyone seemed pleased—except for Wolfie and his group.As they were about to part ways, Ted turned to Yuvan and said, "I'd appreciate it if you held off telling the old man that I've arrived in Eastport. I'll show up when the time is right."Yuvan paused for a moment, then smiled. "Got it. I know what to do. Oh, by the way, Ted—your wife received an invitation as well. Did she not accompany you on this trip?"At those words, Ted's expression shifted slightly. He merely offered a brief shake of his head. "She received the invitation and will come on her own. She doesn't need me holding her hand. But eno

The sudden, inexplicable slap left everyone in a state of confusion.It would've been one thing if it had been Viper who hit Wolfie. He was one of Easton's Three Giants, after all.But Ted?Who the hell was Ted?In full view of Wolfie's men, without uttering a single word, Ted simply lashed out and smacked him—leaving a vivid, red imprint on his face.Who wouldn't be furious?This was humiliation.Pure, blatant humiliation."You son of a b*tch! You've got a death wish!""You bastard! How dare you hit Wolfie? I'll kill you!""Screw it, we're going in! Even if Mr. Zarkonnen gets pissed, we need to teach this punk a lesson. Who the hell does he think he is?"A frenzy erupted as Wolfie's men surged forward, ready to rip Ted to shreds.Wolfie himself was practically shaking with rage, his eyes burning with fury. He could barely hold himself back.Hold back?Why should he hold back?He had just been slapped—twice.First by Viper, and now, unbelievably, even Ted dared to slap

Ted sneered, looking at Wolfie like he was the dumbest man alive."Did you just forget what I just said? You want an explanation? And why the hell do you think you deserve one? Because of your threats?"Ted scoffed. "Fine, here's the deal: if you've got the guts, kill me. You're out here barking orders, thinking you've got control, but you don't even realize how deep a hole you've dug yourself into. If it weren't for me today, you'd have screwed up one of Mr. Zarkonnen's most important plans."Forget about everything else and answer this—are you prepared to bear responsibility for that?"Wolfie was furious, but he was fiercely loyal to Mr. Zarkonnen and would never jeopardize his plans.Ted's words made his stomach twist."You're talking nonsense," Wolfie retorted. "When did I ever ruin Mr. Zarkonnen's plans? If you're talking about earlier—when I stopped you from getting too close to Yuvan and Viper—I can explain. I wasn't interfering. I was stopping you from running your mouth

Wolfie and the others knelt in a long row in front of Lavender Gardens. If one really thought about it, the embarrassment wasn't just theirs to bear—it was Mr. Zarkonnen's as well.When Yuvan and Viper heard the news, they exchanged glances, and in each other's eyes, they saw something heavy, something unspoken.As they had suspected, Ted was no ordinary person.But how had Ted managed to make Wolfie and the others so obedient, so willing to throw aside their pride and kneel in the dirt? That was a mystery, one they couldn't quite figure out.Within the villa, Ted's power was absolute, his presence untouchable. Wolfie and the others' dignity was subject to his arbitrary whims, vanishing if he so decided. Who, in their right mind, would dare challenge him?As Ted lay in bed, he couldn't help but think of what Yuvan had said.Adam's birthday banquet invitation had already been extended to Luna.In truth, Ted could guess what was coming. But the thought of facing the woman he had o

Did Ted run away?That was Luna's first thought. After everything he had done, Panther knew full well that Luna would take her revenge. How could Ted possibly stand a chance against her in Melville? If he had fled, it made sense.Panther chuckled softly at her reaction. "That's right. He's gone. Upon your directive, I had him under surveillance. We observed his departure, and the license plate showed he took a car headed for Eastport. So, I'm thinking… could Ted have gone to Eastport? Does he have anyone there?"Eastport?At the mention, Luna's brow frowned sharply, an instinctive display of her unease.If there was one place she didn't want Ted to show up right now, it was Eastport.Because Eastport was the location of the White family patriarch's birthday celebration—and Luna was going to be there. Jimmy would also be present, and the White family, naturally, would be in Eastport as well.No one could guarantee that they wouldn't cross paths. And given the way things had gon

If Luna had only felt resentment toward Ted before, now, that resentment had turned into something significantly deeper and far more consuming.Perhaps there had been a small part of her that felt sorry for Ted before. But now, she truly wished she could tear him apart, limb by limb."Damn it, that b*stard! I swear I'll make him pay. He's trying to ruin me—he's trying to destroy everything I've worked for!"Rage contorted Luna's face, her once beautiful features twisted into an unrecognizable, chilling mask.Josie stood silently beside her, unsure of what to say.On one hand, she felt a sense of relief, secretly pleased to see Luna so hysterical. It was satisfying to watch her unravel.But on the other hand, she couldn't help but feel a growing sense of fear.Her concern wasn't about Luna's safety, but the ramifications this would have on her own life. What if Ted's lies started to spread, tainting Luna's reputation among her influential backers? What would become of Josie? What

As soon as Luna and Josie got into the car, Wendy's call came through. She insisted that she needed to see Luna immediately, or they might never see each other again.Wendy spoke as if it were a matter of life and death.Josie quickly chimed in. "Ms. Lambert, a quick trip to the hospital won't delay us much. Besides, Panther and his team are already organizing things, so we'll need to wait a bit before leaving. We don't want to appear too eager, or it might raise suspicion, don't you think?""You're right," Luna nodded. "I've been too hasty. Thanks for the reminder. Alright, let's go. I have no idea what my mother's up to this time."Luna's approval made the decision swift. They turned the car around and headed directly to the hospital.At the hospital, Wendy clutched her head, feigning a migraine, while Dean groaned and clutched his side. The sheer absurdity of the situation made Luna's own head pound. Meanwhile, Josie got the driver to leave by asking him to buy something, giv

Luna's expression was unsightly as she settled back into the car.Josie sighed and said, "Ms. Lambert, don't be too hard on Wendy and Dean. They see you as their pillar of strength. They've been hurt, and wanting your attention is understandable."Luna sneered at her words. "If only it were that simple. Do you honestly think they care? They never cared about me, only the money in my hands. If they're not scheming to get more from me, they can't seem to function. I don't get it. Haven't I given them enough?"Cars, houses, cash, savings—I even give them a monthly allowance. I've even practically taken over their grocery expenses. Is that not enough?"But what do they do? They constantly plot against me. Do you truly believe that they won't turn their backs on me if something happens to me and the money's gone? That they'd even offer a penny?"Josie completely agreed. She had long seen Wendy and Dean for who they really were. It wasn’t that they had no sense of family, but to them, m
