Chapter 58

Penulis: Cozy Season
Caleb doted excessively on Erica.

"I'm sorry, Miss Mathis. I didn't mean to. I..."

"Enough!"

Erica frowned, turning her attention to Juan. "It's you, Juan. You better keep your mistress in check. How dare a poor student who latched onto a wealthy man be so insolent in front of me?"

Being labeled a mistress, Shelia couldn't hold back her anger. But before she could retort, Juan intervened with a grim expression.

Shelia was frightened by his demeanor, not daring to utter another word.

"It's a misunderstanding. Let me cover the expenses of your meal. Please don't take offense."

"No need! The Mathis family is rich enough."

Erica bluntly rejected his offer. "I'll remember this. Show them out!"

Several bodyguards then escorted Juan and Shelia out of the room.

Juan could easily handle these people if he chose to fight. He didn't because he was in the wrong.

Once outside, Juan looked sullen.

"Juan, I really didn't..." Shelia started.

"Alright, let's not talk about it again," Juan

    The Potter Mansion was silent.Everyone looked at Marion on the couch.Debra squeezed his hand. "Jordan's guys are on it. Randy will be fine. Don't worry too much."Randy and Erica had been missing for 24 hours without any information.The valley's outer edge was crawling with hired guns, likely to keep them out.Even knowing Enoch ran the Illuminati didn't help. They had no leverage.A guard rushed in. "Report, Mr. Osborne...""Where is he?" Marion shot up from the couch."He's outside... on a stretcher," replied the guard.They rushed outside. Beyond the iron gate, Randy lay on a stretcher, pale as death. His gut was bandaged, blood soaking through."Randy!" Debra yelled at the guards, "What are you waiting for? Get him inside.""Yes, ma'am." A few guards hauled him in."Don't sweat it. Just a flesh wound," Jordan said, waving over William. "Hurry. Check on him."William raced down from the second floor, med kit in hand. "Coming. Where is the patient?"He sped over and

    Erica was older than him, about the same height as those jerks.Randy remembered her in a private school uniform. Her shirt was hacked short, and her bow was swapped for a tie. Tall and cool, she was like the queen of high school.She seemed to be glowing, and his eyes sparked.She frowned. "You've got guts to mess with my guy on my turf."Raised tough by Caleb, she had gotten real skills, not showy stuff.Those punks didn't even graze her. She flipped one over her shoulder, then kicked the rest down one by one.For the first time, Randy thought a girl fighting could look so cool.'If you could show up now like back then, how great would that be?'His eyelids got heavy. He could barely keep them open.He knew she couldn't swoop in to save him like before....Debra and Marion were at the city's edge when the call hit."What? Randy ran off to the valley?" Debra was shocked but quickly snapped into gear. "Wait. You got so many people there. How could he slip away?"They all

    "I've told you a million times," Enoch said. "Nothing in this world comes free. As a businessman, you know the drill. You want something. You pay for it."He looked down and continued, "Although I don't like you, my blood is in your veins. You want Erica? Then you do what I say."He stood up and walked over, clapping his hand down on Randy's shoulder. "You've grown up, my boy. You should carry the Osborne name proudly. I know you've got it in you. Together, we can build an empire. No more bowing to the other three families. No more kissing the Houstons' asses. We won't be the weak link anymore. You get me?"For once, he softened, almost fatherly. But to Randy, it felt fake as hell.If he were a loving father, Enoch wouldn't have ignored him for 20 years."You never held me or owned me," Randy said. "I don't need your approval or your empire now."He shoved Enoch's hand off and stepped forward, pressing the knife to Enoch's neck. Then he ducked behind Enoch, dodging Michael's line

  • Goodbye, Mr. Ex: I've Remarried Mr. Right   Chapter 1691

    Enoch might've been older, but his face stayed smooth."Where's Erica?" Randy wasn't there to chitchat.Enoch sat down in a chair. The place felt like a giant cathedral, his spot way up high."She's with me," Enoch replied. "You want her back? Need something to trade.""What did you say?" Randy laughed coldly. "Trade? Erica is not a commodity, and you're committing a crime. She's going to marry me. Why did you do this?""She's tied to the Houston family," Enoch replied. "You could've picked anyone else. The Houstons are heartless. If it weren't for your sake, she'd be dead already.""I need you to hand her over," Randy barked, starting toward him.Suddenly, someone fired a shot. The bullet hit the floor an inch from Randy's foot.In that dim light, only a crack shot could pull that off.Michael stepped out from a corner, pistol in hand."See? So impulsive," Enoch sighed, glancing at Michael. "He is sharper and smarter, more like me."Randy pointed at Michael up on the platfo

    Under Randy's threat, Lara didn't dawdle. She swiped her fingerprint, and the infrared beams blinked out."My clearance only kills the lasers for three minutes," she said. "Taking me like this only slows you down. Let me go, and I swear I won't pull anything.""Three minutes? Then hustle," Randy snorted.She was full of schemes. Cutting her loose brought him nothing but danger. He would not fall for it.Lara kept her cool and led him toward the end of the hall.The place was futuristic, loaded with tech Randy had never even seen. Only people with the code could get in.Now that she had removed restrictions, it was now just another regular hallway.At the end stood a massive door. She spoke. "Our master is behind that. I can't go in, but I'll open it for you.""Do it quickly," he urged.She stepped to the side and used facial recognition. The door slid open, revealing a dark room.As he scoped it out, she broke free and tried to shove him in.Quick in reaction, he yanked her

    As long as he twitched it a little, Lara would be dead.Randy growled, "Cut the crap. Try me again, and you're done."Lara didn't dare push it. She took a breath. "Okay. Follow me inside.""I know who your master is," he said. "Tell him to let Erica go, or the Osborne line ends with me."Her face shifted at that. He noticed. "What, you don't know who he is? Guess you're not that big a deal around here. So, quit stalling. Take me to him now. Touch me, and you don't live to see another day."Lara's composure crumbled.In the Illuminati, nobody knew the bishop's identity. She couldn't tell if Randy was bluffing or not.She had no choice but to lead him toward another entrance. Those goons didn't dare stop him. They just stepped aside.She took him deeper into the valley. The further in, the warier Randy got.The mist thickened, blotting out everything.At a rocky entrance, she used her fingerprint to unlock a hidden door in the mountain. It was mind-boggling that the Illuminati

    Lara's face twisted. "No way he would say that. He wants the four families wiped out.""Take it up with him." Juan shrugged, heading out of the valley. "I'm not wasting my breath on you."Lara muttered in disbelief, "Our master wouldn't do that. This was our shot to take them down."Before she could piece it together, a guy rushed up. "Miss, something else showed up.""Who was it?" Lara snapped, annoyed.The four families only had Debra and Marion worth a damn to them."Looks like someone from the Osborne family.""Randy? What's that punk doing here?"Right then, a guy flew in from the mist, screaming as he hit the ground.Randy stepped out with a fierce expression. Lara barked for her crew to gear up.Everyone was puzzled, not expecting a wuss like Randy to be so good at fighting.He'd taken out every guard outside the valley solo, and not one alarm had been tripped. It meant he had memorized the layout, found the safest path, and dodged every trap.Lara sized him up serio

    The Illuminati crew scattered into the mist.The leader stayed, pulling off his mask.Juan's brow creased hard. This was all he could do for them.Debra and Marion hauled out of the valley.Earlier when they were talking to that guy, she had clocked his limp. Plus, he had tapped his leg to drop hints.Through those details, she had figured out it was Juan.Juan had fed them a load of crap.Erica was inside. The bishop would show himself if they managed to find her. He would let them go if they could make a deal.It sounded reasonable but did not hold up.The Illuminati had an edge over them. If the bishop wanted to meet, he wouldn't need to snatch Erica. Even if he had her, it'd be to trade for the gemstone they held.He commanded, and they had to comply because they had zero leverage to negotiate. If they had no leverage, the bishop would not let them go.This was the tip-off dropped by Juan. Her business instinct enabled her to perceive it.Erica wasn't in the valley at a

    It was afternoon already.Debra and Marion parked their car outside the valley.Looking at the sprawling terrain ahead, Debra couldn't shake the memory of trekking through it with Kale just days ago.Revisiting this place made her shiver."Your injury's still fresh," Marion said. "I can go alone."Debra shook her head. "We agreed on going together. Besides, I'm not here to fight. It will be fine."Marion ruffled her hair. "Alright, we're in this together."Enoch brought Erica here to lure them in. That much was clear.Now that they were here, they'd get her out.With night closing in, they quickly followed the route they'd mapped out and headed in.The map from Juan came in handy. In less than 30 minutes, they reached a clearing smack in the middle of four towering mountains.Mist hung light in the air, and the jagged peaks all around gave off a heavy, oppressive vibe.Through the fog, figures in black cloaks and white masks stepped out.Debra slid behind Marion, their han
