LOGINIn the biggest bar of Gryndon, my younger sister, Evonne Bradford, is tossed onto the middle of the stage like a plaything. The men beneath the stage keep arguing with each other. At the moment, Evonne's complexion is as pale as a sheet. She can only stare at her fiance, Simon Scottman, in disbelief, who's sitting in the middle of the bar. "Simon, I'm your fiancee! How could you treat me like this?" Simon leans over to kiss the dainty-looking woman in his arms on the lips. Then, he shoots Evonne a cold look. "You don't even know who took your virginity, yet you still have the guts to question me?" The woman in Simon's arms just titters delicately, but the contempt in her eyes is plain to see when she looks at Evonne. Meanwhile, I sit in my booth, my gaze already icy. All it takes is three years of my absence in this country, and already someone dares to harm a member of the Bradford family.

After all, he could barely protect himself now."I'm sorry, Ms. Abigail. I know I was wrong. I'll apologize to you. I'll grovel before you and Ms. Evonne's feet, okay?" Rachel threw herself at my feet and started begging for forgiveness, just like Evonne had once done for her.I let out a cold chuckle and lifted her chin with the tip of my heel. "Weren't you arrogant enough to steal other people's fiances? I'm surprised you know how to apologize now. If you like stealing men so much, I'll send you somewhere full of them. You can have your fill."My bodyguards dragged Rachel up after I spoke. Her carefully done makeup was smeared and filthy from the floor. Tears streamed down her face as she struggled, but it was futile.Once she was dealt with, I turned to Simon. "You're the one who drugged Evon
"You went through all that trouble to get me here. So, what's this really about?" A teasing voice came first, followed by the man himself.The man was tall and lean. His deep brown eyes held a hint of relaxed arrogance. Although his tone seemed casual, the authority he carried shut the room up instantly.At once, the men being held down lit up, as if they'd found a lifeline."You're finally here, Mr. Griffin!""Help us deal with this shameless woman!""We've been waiting forever, Mr. Griffin!"I smoothed my dress as I watched the man walk over. It turned out to be an old acquaintance.The easy smile on Henry Griffin's face vanished the second he looked up and saw me, tears suddenly welling up at the corners of his eyes.Ignoring everyone else's pleas, he strode over to me. Gone was his earlier laid-back attitude, replaced by a focus so intense as if he were examining a treasure once lost."You… You're really back?" Henry's voice trembled. He stopped about three feet away, not
Dominic trembled slightly. No one knew my methods better than he did, and he knew just as well that there was no way out for him now."Have you lost your mind? That's Mr. Clarke you're hitting!" Rachel shrieked, glaring daggers at me. "So what if you're Abigail Bradford? The Bradfords are finished. You might've been untouchable once, but that was in the past. The Bradfords don't even rank in Gryndon nowadays!""Is that so?" A mocking smile tugged at my lips as I leaned back lazily into the couch. I lifted my hands in a careless shrug, saying, "Then go ahead and call your families. See if they're willing to stand against the Bradfords."The men's expressions lit up. They began digging out their phones."Just wait! You'll be done for once my people get here, slut!""That's right! No matter how arrogant she is, she's still a lone woman!"They cursed under their breath as they made their calls, but their families hung up at once when they heard that they were facing the Bradfords."
"Alright." I looked up and nodded slightly.Gillian stood up and shot the men restraining me with a cold look. "Let her go now!"The men looked at her and flinched, immediately releasing their grip.A flash of panic crossed Dominic's face, but he forced himself to calm down. His expression hardened. "How dare you cause trouble in Nocturne! Get everyone over and detain all of them!"Just as Amanda reached for her phone, I let out a cold laugh. "My people are already in. Do you really think you still have anyone left to call?"Dominic turned around. The large group of bodyguards that had been stationed at the entrance was gone.His face flushed red with fury. "Who the hell are you? Do you have any idea who the people in this bar are? You can't afford to offend any single one of them here!"Gillian scoffed and looked up at Dominic, her sharp gaze cutting straight through his bluster.She spat, "How dare you say that, Dominic? You were nothing more than Ms. Abigail's father's lapdo
