All Chapters of The Hidden Legend: Chapter 51 - Chapter 60

As Havaria's mayor, Walter just had to speak up, and every Havarian bank would freeze the Wilson family's assets.And since the Wilsons had been banking on high-leverage investments over recent years, Walter's move would immediately cut off their capital and destroy them.Edward's lips curled into a smile right then. "I guess you got the news. Your family went bankrupt?"Hearing that and realizing that it really might be Edward's doing, Gerald's eyes widened in disbelief, "It really was you?!"He really didn't expect his family to go broke because of Edward!As everyone around them heard the exchange and caught on, they were at once restless."Wait, the Wilsons really went bankrupt? Just because of Edward's phone call?""But aren't they upper class? How could they go bankrupt just like that?""No, they really went bankrupt. I just checked my phone—every Havarian bank cut off their capital, and Wilson Group already announced bankruptcy for liquidation."The news was a boulder t

The onlookers were all watching gleefully at Gerald's tragic state. They looked at Jim with contempt as well who lay prone on the floor, bruised and battered. "Never expected this to happen to Gerald Wilson, of all people. He was always so full of himself, but guess he finally shot himself in the foot this time.""The nail that sticks out gets hammered, as they say—keep your head down, and everything will be fine. None of this would have happened to the Wilsons if they didn't go too far.""Guess Jim Wilson's is Havaria's greatest loser of all time. He's so full of it, he's the reason his whole family went bankrupt—no Havarian past or present would ever match that."Jim's expression was blank, his gaze empty as never could he have expected to bankrupt his own family just because he had insulted Edward.As for Edward, he didn't linger and strode off.On the other hand, Winona was at once sycophantic as she hurried to Jennifer's side and asked, "So, Ms. Lindt… Shall we sign the con

Jane rolled her eyes. "Cut the crap and follow me. Ms. Lancaster is waiting to see you."And with those words, she led Edward towards the elevators, even as he kept drawing a blank and remained completely confused as to what was going on.He never called to make an appointment, so how would Rachel know he was coming, even asking someone to receive him downstairs?Still, before he understood, Jane had brought Rachel to the CEO's office, and knocked on the door as she announced, "Ms. Lancaster? Your bodyguard has arrived." "Come in."While Jane headed inside at those words, Edward was left spacing out at the doorway.Bodyguard? What bodyguard?Whenever did he agree to be a bodyguard?It was only then that Jane noticed that Edward didn't follow her inside and stood at the doorway stupidity, and sighed in exasperation, "Don't just stand there. Come in already."Dragged back to reality, Edward pursed his lips in exasperation and strode in.Rachel was working on some documents beh

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

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,
