Semua Bab The Rise of Caleb Larkin: Bab 21 - Bab 30

Rachel's voice cracked, betraying her emotions. "You're such a bastard, Caleb! We were married for five years and even had a child together, but you still make me live in fear every day! Do you have any idea what I went through when you got into that accident three years ago? It was like my entire world had collapsed! I had to take care of you and Sabrina, all the while enduring people whispering behind my back!"Her eyes glistened with unshed tears as she continued furiously, "Didn't you say you were going to make me happy, Caleb? Is this your definition of happiness? You're a wicked bastard, Caleb! Put me down!"Rachel wrenched herself free from Caleb's arms, and threw off her heels. Tears flowed freely down her cheeks as the wind whipped her long hair around her face. "Caleb, I thought once you woke up, everything would be fine... But here we are, divorced." She shook her head and scoffed, "This is what my three years of waiting amounted to. I asked for a divorce, and you actual

Caleb hadn't forgotten what Tyler from Apex Media did yesterday. He had planned to teach him a lesson today, but to his surprise, the chairman of Apex Media had showed up first."Humiliated your wife? Mr. Larkin, there must be some kind of misunderstanding!" Cameron said urgently, looking alarmed and desperate."I trust Mr. Lloyd. He's a man of integrity," Kayla added quickly. Kayla knew how deeply Caleb cared for Rachel. Anything related to Rachel left no room for negotiation."If I hadn't arrived last night, my wife might have suffered an even more terrible fate. Your employee, Tyler Johnson, is the worst kind of scum!" Caleb briefly explained what happened the previous night, then stood up and pushed Cameron and Kayla out.As they stood outside the door, Cameron and Kayla exchanged glances.Cameron's face was ashen as he turned to Kayla helplessly. "Ms. Turner..."Kayla sighed, then said solemnly, "Mr. Lloyd, I'm afraid there's little I can do. You saw Caleb's temper—when it c

Cameron was practically begging Rachel to stay, and everyone witnessing it was stunned.Cameron was one of the richest people in Jadewood City, and he had connections reaching the highest circles. Wherever he went, he was treated with the utmost respect, and yet…He was being so polite to Rachel, an unknown actress! Even more shockingly, he had just handed her the lead role in The Enchanting Queen, a grand production with a budget of hundreds of millions.It was surreal!"I..." Rachel gaped at Cameron, at a loss for words."It's a done deal!" Cameron said warmly. "Ms. Spencer, you absolutely must accept my offer. If you have any other requests, just say the word and I'll get it for you!"Wendy's eyes gleamed with envy and excitement, and she quickly tugged at Rachel's sleeve. "Rachel, you have to accept! This is a huge opportunity!"Rachel slowly nodded in agreement, despite her confusion. No matter what, this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.Yes, she had her dreams, and s

Caleb had been hoping to test the limits of his strength, but the assassin had hardly been a challenge.He shook his head, deciding to let the matter go. It was a weak assassin, after all.-Meanwhile, in the Wraith Organization, an assassin's soul lamp went out."Phantom Edge failed?!""Wasn't he on that ten-million-dollar bounty mission? I heard the target was just a peak Acquired. Phantom Edge was a Primordial Warrior though—how pathetic!""Don't underestimate any target. Phantom Edge wasn't weak, which means the target was by no means ordinary. No wonder the bounty was that high!""Let Demoness handle this… Our organization hasn't failed an assassination yet."-Meanwhile, Charles had received the news of the failed assassination attempt on Caleb."What a bunch of useless fools! The Wraith Organization is nothing but talk!" Charles slammed his fist on his desk, a murderous rage bubbling inside him at the thought of Caleb."I can't rely on the Wraith Organization alone—I

Charles had no idea that Selena was plotting to win Caleb over. This woman was more cunning than he thought!Yvette rested her hand on Caleb's arm and smiled sweetly."Brian's body is now dust," Caleb said coolly. "With that, my grudge against Mr. Johnson has been settled. But as for you, Ms. Morgan... If you're willing to kneel before me and apologize, maybe—just maybe—I'll spare your life."Kneel? Apologize?Selena's expression darkened briefly, rage flaring in her eyes.But just as quickly, her smile returned. "It seems you still hold a grudge against me... No matter—we can discuss it another time. Tonight, let's just enjoy the evening. No grudges, only good company. Allow me to pour you a drink, Mr. Larkin."Caleb raised his glass and downed his drink in one fluid motion. He wasn't sure what Selena and Charles were up to, but he was curious enough to play along for now.The night wore on, and after a few rounds of drinks, Yvette's demeanor began to change. Her face was flush
