Chapter 596 A Traitor Among Us

It was not until his friend was caught in the traffickers' net that Colt sought out Lexi, the ringleader, and managed to buy the freedom of three college girls.Xoan understood Colt's predicament. "Don't sweat it. I know you can't tackle this beast alone."A chilling thud echoed from the door."They're hacking away at the door. What's our move?"Zyra had never witnessed such horrific acts.Yaslyn soothed her with a gentle pat before asking Xoan, "How many are out there?""Give or take, twenty or thirty."Yaslyn's gaze grew steely. "Maybe we should take the fight to them?"Xoan shook his head, not keen on the idea. "That's not the best move. These guys are like a hydra. Cut one down, and more will spring up.""Maybe... I've got a better plan."Yaslyn revealed a vial of liquid. "My mentor gave me this. It's supposed to knock people out cold. Never tried it, though."Xoan perked up. "Now that's a stroke of genius. Colt, got any spray bottles?"Colt caught on quickly, grabbed a

Chapter 597 Colt Wafford Gets Hurt

Sabina had always been close to Leilani, but as she watched her brazen behavior, her brow furrowed. "Leilani Wood, do you realize what you're doing?" she warned."I know exactly what I'm doing. What's more, I'm onto all of you."Leilani spun and grinned at the man behind her. "Uncle, you were right. This lady is a cop!"Uncle?The word hung in the air, leaving everyone puzzled except for Zyra, who blinked in surprise and asked, "He's your uncle?""Bet you didn't see that coming. I'm one of the village folks, too." Leilani smoothed her hair back with a smug smile. "Good thing my uncle is smart. He figured there might be a cop hiding among us, so he had me pose as a college girl who'd been snatched. Otherwise, we would've never sniffed out the police officer."Pretending all this time had worn Leilani out. She would not have put up with this charade if her uncle had not promised her Colt's hand in marriage once everything was settled.The memory of that harsh slap across her face

Chapter 598 The Chase

Ralph Wood shivered, as did his voice as he said, "Let's not do anything hasty. We can talk it out!"Yaslyn glared at him. "Are you going to let us go or what?""Let you go? Just clear a path, and let her through!" Ralph snapped, his voice laced with panic.The usual crowd in front of Ralph, who typically hung on his every word, simmered with silent rage as they saw their prize about to slip through their fingers."What are you waiting for? Move it!" Ralph, with his own safety on the line, was livid.Reluctantly, the crowd parted to make way."There, I've got them to move. You can release me now, can't you?" Ralph turned and smiled a smile that did not quite reach his eyes."Not good enough. I want a car to get us out of here," Yaslyn insisted, her demand clearly a tall order.The village was poor with only the village head owning a car, and Yaslyn was intent on commandeering that very car, much to Ralph's dismay. "We only have the sole car in the village. It's not going to wor

Chapter 599 A Little Fun

"Mr. Wood is quite boastful! Let's wait and see who'll take down who."Out of the corner of her eye, Yaslyn spotted a group of muscular men in black emerging stealthily from the shadows."Grab them!" she commanded.The men in black sprang into action and charged toward the unsuspecting crowd.Ralph's face turned pale as he realized Yaslyn was not alone. "H—How on earth did they find us?" he stammered.Yaslyn smirked. "Bad luck for you, I dropped a pin on my way here. It's been days, so they're bound to show up."The newcomers were a formidable bunch, towering and outnumbering Ralph's group.Seeing the odds stacked against him, Ralph's bravado crumbled. "It's all a big misunderstanding!" he begged. "We were just coming to see you off!"Zyra snickered at the feeble attempt at deception.Yaslyn arched an eyebrow. "If you're here to see us off, where's the parting gift?"Frantically, Ralph patted himself down and reluctantly handed over a few crumpled bills. "Will this do? That's

Chapter 600 Blatant Lies

The confused Zyra turned to Yaslyn. "Yaslyn, what's so funny?""Just amused by someone's blatant fibbing," Yaslyn quipped.Zyra might be a bit gullible, but she knew who Yaslyn meant. She turned to Colt. "Are you lying?"Colt's face turned a shade of pink. "Yeah.""Well, why haven't you dated?" Zyra just could not wrap her head around why he would be shy about something like that."Because..." Colt barely got a word out when a shadow crossed the threshold.Colt clamped his mouth shut at once when he noticed Zyra's focus had darted to the newcomer."Tyler, you made it!" She zipped across the room and latched onto him like she was caught in a breeze.Tyler wrapped his arms around her, his face softening a touch. "Promise me you won't head to those risky spots alone again, okay?""Okay, okay. And since when is a public restroom a danger zone?"Zyra grumbled under her breath, but Tyler playfully pinched her nose in response."What was that?""I said I got it. No more solo adven

Chapter 601 Ten Years of Secret Love

"Yeah. I've been dodging marriage because I've been carrying a torch for someone. But seeing her happy now, I've let go of any other hopes."Xoan immediately realized what Colt truly meant."You're talking about Zyra, aren't you?""Since you've all figured it out, I'm not worried about being your inside joke or something. I've been secretly in love with her for a decade."Colt's voice was steady, but the pain behind his words was palpable. With 10 years of unspoken love, his heart was bound to be heavy when he saw her with another guy.Xoan stayed quiet for a long stretch, eventually choosing to keep his thoughts to himself. He could not exactly push his friend to go after someone else's girl.Zyra was with Tyler, and even Marcus had not been able to change that. What chance did Colt have?"You can't just settle, though, marrying someone you don't love." That was as far as Xoan could say.Colt just smiled and shook his head. "I'm at peace with it. I'm ready for whatever comes."

Chapter 602 Shylah Visits

"Just hold on. Let's talk to Yaslyn about this."Zyra was one of Yaslyn's talents, and any trouble for Zyra meant trouble for Yaslyn."Right. Yaslyn's probably in the loop by now."Zyra anxiously waited for Yaslyn's call, but to her surprise, Yaslyn was ecstatic rather than worried."Why do you look so anxious? Isn't this your opportunity to rise to fame quickly?"Zyra was at a loss for words. "But I'm losing followers, even if it's not a huge number yet."Her fanbase was split. One side was unwavering in their belief that her reputation was untarnished, while the other side wavered, hinting at jumping ship. A good number had already hit the 'Unfollow' button with a few even turning against her."Who cares about a few fair-weather fans? The ones who matter stick around. And I haven't seen that many leave. Don't sweat it; they'll be back."Zyra felt a weight lift off her shoulders with Yaslyn's reassurance. "Are you plotting something, Yaslyn?"Yaslyn's voice had a mischievous

Chapter 603 Shooting From The Hip

"Mrs. Stone, we've missed you," the clerk cooed and ushered her in with a practiced smile."We've got some new pieces that seem just your size, so I've set them aside for you."It made sense for the clerk to fuss over Shylah, a loyal patron. However, as the clerk fawned over Shylah, Zyra trailed behind, forgotten.The clerk was not intentionally being snobbish; it was just that even a hotshot celebrity like Zyra could not compare to the elite socialites with their old money and status.Shylah's expression darkened when she noticed the clerk giving Zyra the frosty treatment."I'm not here for myself today," she said firmly. "I'm here to find some chic outfits for my future daughter-in-law."The words 'future daughter-in-law' were like magic. The clerk, who was indifferent to Zyra, suddenly could not be more attentive. "Oh, Ms. Stewart! Welcome, welcome! You're looking to buy some clothes, right? Let me get your measurements."Zyra had felt the sting of neglect, but she shrugged i

Chapter 604 Not Murder, Just Sweet Revenge

The girl had no choice but to point the finger at Zyra.Zyra quirked an eyebrow. "Sounds like a personal problem to me. You were the one who stepped on the dress, and now you're trying to blame me?"Tyler smirked to himself. She had learned from the best, and her reasoning was flawless. He was not worried about her getting pushed around when she was out on her own anymore.The designer was seasoned with experience; she was not about to sit there and listen to a bunch of baloney. "Well then, miss, I'd prefer you not to come back to my shop."The mortified girl could only nod mutely.Zyra could not resist twisting the knife a little deeper. "Don't forget to pay for the dress, too."The girl shot Zyra a venomous look. "I don't need your concern!"She snatched her card, handed it to the clerk, paid for the ruined dress, and slunk out, her exit as graceless as her stay.Once she was gone, Zyra turned to the designer with a grin and offered her thanks.The moment the designer caught

Chapter 605 The Sudden Appearance Of A Strange Man

Just when one drama seemed to be dying down, another flared up. Zyra's previous debacle was still unresolved when a new video hit the trending charts.The footage, taken from an odd angle, showed Zyra lambasting a girl at a boutique. The girl looked miserable as well.The video spread like wildfire, stirring up a storm of reactions.[I can't believe Zyra could be like that.][She always seemed so sweet and innocent. Who knew she had such a dark side?][Could a kind-hearted girl even utter such despicable things?][It's all fake, just a facade.][I'm done with her. I'm unfollowing her right now.]…Zyra had not seen the recording coming and was agitated. She rushed into the office where Yaslyn was poring over some documents.Seeing Zyra's flustered entrance, Yaslyn sighed. "Why the panic?""Did you catch that news story today? That girl was totally trying to pin the blame on me!" Zyra fumed, shocked that the girl had been scheming against her."Well, if she's playing that ga
