The Hidden Legend Chapter 11
Winona looked displeased at being yelled at by Edward and said defiantly, “That’s right, I want this car of yours.”Edward looked greatly disappointed in Winona. Hailey might not be aware about the car, but was Winona ignorant, too?This car had nothing whatsoever to do with Winona, yet she had the cheek to demand this car from him after their divorce. How could she be so shameless?Winona herself looked stunned by her own words. She didn’t expect herself to blurt that out.Hailey felt even more emboldened by Winona’s words and said arrogantly to Edward, “Did you hear what my daughter said just now?“You bought this car before you two were divorced. In other words, this car is a shared asset within the marriage and Winona technically owns half of it.“How about this? I have a few thousand in my pocket. Take it as compensation and we’ll drive this car away.”Hailey unzipped her waist pack and pulled out a couple of wrinkled notes and threw it at Edward before trying to snatch the
The Hidden Legend Chapter 12
Hailey exploded the moment she heard that the car didn’t belong to Edward. If this car really didn’t belong to him, she had no way of getting her hands on it. This was a car worth a hundred million meldos. She couldn’t accept the fact that her chance of getting her hands on it disappeared just like that.Clyde looked daggers at Hailey who cowered in fear and took two steps back to stand behind Winona.Winona spoke up, “Mr. Hardwick, you’re going overboard here. You don’t lack money. Why must you take a car from ordinary people like us? Even if this car is worth a hundred million meldos, that’s spare change for someone like you. Aren’t you smearing your reputation by behaving this way?”Clyde said with a smirk, “I didn’t expect you to have such a sharp tongue. It’s no wonder you’re a CEO of a company at such a young age. But you got one thing wrong. This car really is mine. If you don’t believe me, I can show you the inspection document issued by the customs.”At once, Steven turned

“He almost inflicted internal injuries on me with that slap. I’ll make that bastard end up in jail for that!”Everyone knew that her claim of suffering from internal injuries was nonsense at the sight of how loud and powerful her voice was, and they started badmouthing and pointing fingers at her once more.“This old woman is truly shameless. How dare she claim to have internal injuries when she’s standing right there, yelling at him without so much as panting?”“Shameless people are really something. Now that they failed to steal the car, they’re trying to slander the man and land him in jail. This family is truly vicious.”“The daughter of this old woman is vicious too, trying to send her ex-husband to jail. He is so unlucky to have married her. Thankfully, he divorced her in the end.”Winona overheard the hushed whispers from the crowd, and her face darkened with displeasure. She felt so embarrassed she wished the ground would swallow her up.Edward looked at Winona in disappo

The crowd burst out in excited chatter upon hearing Clyde’s words.“I heard that Mr. Hardwick’s lawyer is amazing. He even sent a judge who participated in trials to jail. He’s awesome!”"I've heard that on bad days, he can send the accused to jail. On an average day, he can have the opposing lawyer locked up for at least three years. And on a good day? He can even put the judge behind bars."“Wow, I didn’t expect Mr. Hardwick’s lawyer to be so impressive. In that case, wouldn’t the mother, daughter, and son all be sent to jail?”Winona’s face was dark with displeasure. She had heard about the reputation of Clyde’s lawyer and knew that he was a very powerful and influential lawyer indeed. If Clyde really were to summon his lawyer, they might really find themselves in jail.Winona looked back at Edward with mixed feelings in her eyes. She knew that he was the key in this entire incident. If Edward could let this go, they would stand a chance of getting away.“Edward, we were once

Winona simply couldn’t believe that Edward was insisting for her to apologize to him. Was this the gentle and thoughtful Edward she knew? She bit her lip hard as indignation filled her eyes.“Edward, are you really going to treat me so harshly? You weren’t like that in the past…”Edward knew from Winona’s words that she was trying to gain his sympathy. Before their divorce, her attempts at gaining his pity had always worked. But now, after their divorce, Edward had seen through Winona and refused to fall into her trap.Edward said, “Quit acting pitiful in front of me. I’m not going to fall for that. It’s fine if you refuse to apologize to me. Everyone saw how your mom tried to steal from me. I’ll send her to jail for at least eight to ten years.”Hailey’s face paled with fright at Edward’s words as she looked at him with fear in her eyes.“Edward, I was once your mother-in-law, after all. How could you bear to send me to jail?”Edward scoffed, “You said it yourself, you were once
The Hidden Legend Chapter 16
During the three years of their marriage, Edward normally stayed at home and occupied his time with menial household work such as laundry and cooking. Winona had never seen Edward interact with any outsiders, much less seen him communicate with Clyde.If that were the case, why would Clyde be so generous towards Edward, and even readily loan Edward a luxury car worth hundreds of millions in meldos?Winona was no fool; she could tell that the relationship between Clyde and Edward wasn’t that straightforward.“Edward, just how much have you been hiding from me?” Winona muttered to herself with a strange look in her eyes. Outside the hospital emergency room, a group of people were waiting anxiously, and no one dared to make a sound. All of them were throwing anxious glances at the emergency room door. Clyde strode over with Edward next to him.“Hey Walter, how is your father doing?” Clyde waved and greeted a middle-aged man with a squarish face.Although the man looked very ord
The Hidden Legend Chapter 17
A young man walked over with a disdainful expression. He was Sean Daniels, Walter’s son.He had overheard what Clyde had said from afar and walked over upon knowing that Edward was the person Clyde had called over to save his grandfather. He couldn’t stand any more of this nonsense.Walter scoffed. “Sean, don’t be rude.”Sean said, “Dad, how am I being rude?“I just think that scammers are becoming increasingly bold nowadays, turning their aim toward you, the mayor of Havaria.”Clyde’s face turned dark with displeasure at Sean’s words.Was Sean insinuating that he was an accomplice of a scammer?Sean noticed the sullen look on Clyde’s face and said with a smile, “Mr. Hardwick, don’t be offended. I wasn’t exactly talking about you.“I just think that you might be fooled by this punk and therefore fell for his words.”Clyde said coldly, “I think you shouldn’t shoot your mouth off on this. Dr. Channing’s medical skills are impressive and I saw them for myself. Why would I bother
The Hidden Legend Chapter 18
“When my father was severely ill, I did consider calling for his help, but I just couldn’t find him. To think that you actually managed to find him this time.”It was clear from Clyde’s tone that he approved of Dr. Shaw’s medical skills.He then turned to look awkwardly at Edward.“I’m sorry, Dr. Channing. I didn’t know that they had called Dr. Shaw over and made you make a wasted trip here.”Sean said disdainfully, “Mr. Hardwick, why be so courteous to this brat? He’s just a scammer. Are you getting senile with age?”Edward’s brow arched as his gaze turned cold.Sean spoke so rudely to him the moment he appeared, and even he was beginning to get mad despite his mild temperament and good nature.Walter yelled at Sean, “Sean, is that how you should speak to Mr. Hardwick? What do I always tell you?”Walter scolded Sean not because he had insulted Edward, but because he had spoken inappropriately to Clyde.It was obvious that Walter didn’t really trust Edward’s words, which was w

The Hidden Legend Chapter 65
Jane's eyes were wide in shock and disbelief as she turned toward Edward now.She really thought he stood no chance with his scrawny form—Gram certainly didn't, and Gram was a towering hulk of a man.And yet, not only did Stanley fail to beat Edward, Edward beat him with his first strike.Once that was done, he turned to smile at a stupefied Rachel. "See? Just one hand. You have to honor our bet now."Rachel was still staring blankly at her in shock, her dainty lips slightly parted. "H-How did you do that?"Not expecting Edward to win so overwhelmingly, she certainly saw him in a new light now!"No… This is impossible!" Harry yelled in shock just then, and turned toward Edward with a suspicious glare. "How could you have beaten Stanley?! What dirty trick did you pull?!"He was simply unable to accept the reality that his bodyguard was beaten so easily—Edward had to be playing dirty!After all, Stanley was so strong he would win against ten men on his own, but Edward could beat

As Harry glared darkly at Stanley as he spaced out, his outburst brought Stanley to his senses.His eyes flashing, he pulled again… But nothing happened.Soon, Stanley understood, and his expression stiffened.Even though he was pulling all his strength, Edward simply wasn't budging.He also realized that Edward didn't have roots under his foot, and it wasn't overdoing it at the gym.Edward was simply that much better than he was.And just then, Edward smiled at him in amusement. "Are you done? Well, my turn."His words left Stanley's hair standing on end, and sweating bullets all over his brow.And before he realized what happened, Edward had grabbed his arm and slammed him on the floor—before lifting him up and slamming him down again repeatedly like he was a rag doll!And each time he was slammed, Stanley felt as if his internal organs were being rearranged!Harry was left gaping in disbelief as he watched Edward smash Stanley on the floor repeatedly as if a toy.No, th
The Hidden Legend Chapter 63
Sighing, Edward said, "I think I'll let you choose instead. Kneel and apologize—then I will let this one slide, pretend nothing happened.""Otherwise, I promise you—your behavior already earned you a lot of pain." Everyone else in the room was stunned, not sure how Edward could still be so daring at this time.Even Jane—who was hiding in a corner—was raising a brow in contempt.In her mind, Edward stood no chance against Stanley, who absolutely wiped the floor with Gram despite Gram's towering bulk. Having seen it happen with her own eyes, Jane believed Edward had even less of a chance with his scrawny form.And yet, Edward had the audacity to threaten Harry in return.What was that if not foolishness?Jane immediately felt indignant for Rachel, unsure why her boss would get herself a man who was clearly a little crazy.In fact, Harry was fine in her opinion—he had the looks and the money, and he looked perfect standing at Rachel's side.On the other hand, Harry was at firs
The Hidden Legend Chapter 62
Edward was delighted.If Rachel agreed to give him a chance if he beat Stanley with one hand, didn't that mean he would win her over soon?The way he saw it—even if she wasn't explicitly agreeing to date him, she was still giving him a chance to prove himself.And that meant winning her heart was just a matter of time.Chuckling, he said, "Well, you said it yourself. Now, watch."Rachel was left even more exasperated—Edward was up against Stanley, but still couldn't bring himself to be serious!"Worry about yourself first, or you might get killed," she said with a sigh.Even if she wasn't holding back, there was still a look of worry in her eyes.While she wasn't exactly in love with the man who deflowered her, she wasn't keen to see him die either.With that in mind, she turned toward Harry and snapped. "Tell Stanley to stop already! Do you really insist on making this worse?!Though she was just trying to reason with Harry to stop, he simply smiled smugly at her. "Stop? No
The Hidden Legend Chapter 61
Pouting, Rachel snapped. "You're such a douche!"Edward threw his hands up. "Come on, I'm just telling the truth! He really does have performance issues from the start, and now he'll last even shorter with all that stress."Rachel rolled her eyes at him and looked away, not keen to waste her breath.On the other end, Harry was panicking that Edward knew about his performance issues.However, he soon realized that Rachel was there too, and that his impotence had been exposed right in front of her.Bristling as if a cat whose tail was stepped on, he bellowed, "Bullshit! You're the one who has performance issues! Hell, not just you—your whole family does!"Then, turning towards Stanley, he snapped, "What are you waiting for?! Kill him! I don't want to see him alive for another second!"Stanley's eyes narrowed sharply at Gram right then.Then, he moved—his left hand clawing toward Gram!Gram felt his hair standing on end when Stanley's eyes narrowed sharply, as he sensed danger sp

Edward chuckled. "I'm your boyfriend. I can't just watch while they bully you, can I?"Then, turning to level a look of amusement at Gram, he added, "And you have a bodyguard too, don't you? Just ask him to protect me."He certainly didn't forget that Gram was ready to attack him just now, and would have done so if Harry didn't suddenly show up.Harry, still glaring at Edward in rage, bellowed right then, "Stanley! Kill him!" At those words, Stanley took off his shades and leveled a cool, savage smile at Edward. "I guess you really want some, the way you pissed off Mr. Sims. Please, allow me to be your chiropractor."Cracking his knuckles audibly, Stanley was ready to attack Edward when Rachel promptly called out to Gram, "Stop him! If you succeed, you will get the job!"Gram nodded and promptly moved to stand in Stanley's way, glaring coolly at him as he said quietly, "Not another step, or I would have to hurt you."Edward already left him exceedingly frustrated, and he had no

In reality, Rachel was simply stunned by Edward's stolen kiss.She never expected him to be so bold as to kiss her on the cheek, let alone get upset.And by the time she realized it, she was left watching as Harry hollered at Edward, ready to send his bodyguard after him for murder.Even as Rachel glowered, she forgot about snapping at Edward and instead glared sharply at Harry, "What do you think you're doing? Is my boyfriend kissing me any of your business?"Harry froze—that much was true, it wasn't any of his business!Still, despite knowing that he had no right to be angry, just seeing his beloved woman being kissed by another man, he could hardly quell his murderous intent.That was when Edward—surprised that Rachel would defend him, breathed a silly chuckle, "My girl's right. What's it to you, bud?"As he finished, he leaned down, ready for another kiss. However, Rachel was already wary and immediately put a palm on his mouth to stop him, all while pouting flirtatiously,
The Hidden Legend Chapter 58
Rachel's face turned ashen at Harry's words.However, she suddenly noticed Edward with the corner of her eye, and her almond gaze twinkled.Walking over to him, Rachel hugged his arm intimately, and stared pointedly at Harry as she said, "Who said I'm single? Allow me to introduce you to my boyfriend—Edward Channing. And since I'm no longer single, please stop bothering me from now on, or it will upset him."Though Edward could quickly tell that Rachel was treating him like a meat shield and wasn't sincere about having a relationship with him, he wasn't upset.In fact, he pulled Rachel closer to himself, her faint sweet scent swirling around his nostrils right then.It was the same scent as that night. Ignoring Rachel's murderous glare, he asserted himself then, "Rachel's telling the truth. I'm her boyfriend—you stand no chance, buddy."Nearby, Jane was left gaping—the man she had brought up here by mistake was actually Rachel's boyfriend?That was too much of a coincidence!
The Hidden Legend Chapter 57
Gram frowned and glared sharply at Edward for his comment of him, snorting coolly as he growled, "You sure can talk big, boy. Nothing impressive, you say? Are you suggesting that you're better than me?"Edward shrugged. "Just telling it as it is. If it upsets you, just pretend I never said it."He then turned toward Rachel—he only cared what Rachel thought, while Gram's feelings had nothing to do with him.That was when Rachel suddenly beamed—a look that would take anyone's breath away. "You said you'd like a chance, don't you?" She asked Edward. "See, I dislike weak men, and I really need one who can protect me—do you understand what I'm saying?""I do."Edward nodded in relief and turned toward Gram, and raised his right hand, beckoning. "You were upset about my comment, weren't you? Now come at me."Rachel wanted him to show his chops, so he shall offer a demonstration.However, Edward's challenge left Gram's eyes flashing in rage.Still, before he could attack, a voice sp
