A few days ago... While the women had their regular meeting in the evening, the knights had their discussion in the private lounge. Sitting across from each other: Pitt, Bruce, Tom, Keith, Hansen, and this time, Gigi's brother, Maynard Chan, joined them. "I think we have to do something soon," Keith began the discussion. Pitt placed his mug on the coffee table and sat upright. He swept his eyes to the five men in front of him before he gave his opinion. "I'm thinking the same as well. We are…-

"Well, you don't know me, but my friend here surely you know him very well." The guy who spoke took off his sunglasses and hat. Now it displays his blue eyes and blond hair. He went on, "I was the newly appointed Mafia Lord in the Northeastern States. And my first job is to clean someone's mess, and that is your Lord." Liam's men could not decide. They weighed things among themselves. They were uncertain whether their boss had prepared to fight against the U Continent Mafia Association when they…

"Yeah. I paid those small companies to post scandalous articles about you. I paid posters to slander you until it will break your heart, one more time. However, it never happens! I don't understand why you turn a blind eye! He is married; then he could not marry you! But why were you protecting and a**hole like him instead!? You were even deleting those posts and wiping out those malicious websites!" Hailey remained silent. She need not answer any of that, and there is no way she will expose to Liam the…

Hailey leaned back on the couch and pressed her eyelids as she took a deep breath. Although Bruce already notified Pitt, Keith, and the other knights about the situation inside Shen Tower, she needs to find out where Liam hides Gigi and Fraine. Moreover, she wants to know if Tom is still alive. "Where is Tom?" she asked Liam afterward. The guy replied, "My men only beat him up. I won't kill him yet." Hailey shrunk her pupils, pressing her lips from anger. If she disliked Liam before, now she hates…

Hailey wanted to scream. Why does it happen when the rest of her knights aren't here? Maybe few were on the ground floor, guarding the entrance and the back door of this building, along with Keith's men. She only has Bruce and two other knights on her office floor. It means it was bad timing! Keith accompanied Hansen to the police station because someone filed a case against him, and now they were trying to solve the misunderstanding. Not only that, she sent Pitt to MCGC Headquarters for a…

"Do you want to know where they are?" Liam asked her. "Don't you dare to hurt Gigi!" she warned the guy; she then asked him a series of questions afterward. "Where's Fraine? Did you take her too? And Tom? What did you do to him!?" Hailey was sure that Liam would not hurt the girls, but he wouldn't think twice to pull the trigger of his gun to shoot Tom on the head. Liam replied, "Well, if you will listen to my instructions, nothing will happen to them. Their safety is in your hands,…

After Hailey had the interview, she posted a statement at DV Gem Asia Branch official Instagram account after half an hour. In her post, with the photo of the jewelry she gave to Hilda Shen, she clarifies her response to the interview. *Hello everybody, this is Hailey Hillson. I made this post to give some clarification in my answer half an hour ago. I felt that my response wasn't proper, to begin with. The night Vincent asked me to help him pick a gift for his mom, it made me truly happy, although I…

Hailey was chatting with Hansen when her phone rang. It was Vincent. She excused herself; she strides toward the floor-ceiling window to answer the call. "Hubby?" "Hi! How are you? Did you get lunch already?" asked Vince from the other line. "I'm fine! Um, I haven't eaten lunch yet, but I had my snack half an hour ago!" she replied cheerfully. It made her happy that Vince remained thoughtful as before since they were in an actual relationship. "I'm glad. Don't forget to eat soon," he reminded…

Hilda did not prolong the conversation; she ended the call since Vincent was on a trip. She turned off her phone and headed back to the indoor pool where she had breakfast with Fred, who was leisurely sitting on the sofa while having coffee. Now, Carl joins them. She sat down across from the two men; she poured tea on an empty teacup, but she only stared at it with a blank expression on her face. Fred and Carl exchange a glance after watching her heaving a long sigh. The two men both knew how the…
