"But what should we do to get rid of Serena?" Michael asked.A heavy silence filled the room. The tension in the air intensified. Deep in thought, the three men sat still with their brows furrowed.Out of the blue, Jordan's phone rang."I'll take this call outside," Jordan said, his hips swaying as he walked out the door.Barely half a minute later, he came rushing back inside, his face lit up with excitement. "Mikey! Freddy! I've got good news—great news, actually!"Instantly, both Michael's and Frederick's eyes fixed on him."What is it?" Michael asked.Jordan replied, "I've got this friend who's always updated on the latest news. I just heard from him that there's a new boss of the underworld here in Rivershire."Eyes gleaming, Frederick quickly asked, "Lord Drakeford's been taken down?""That's right," Jordan confirmed. "According to my friend, Nino crippled Lord Drakeford.""So, Rivershire's got a new boss now?""Exactly.""Do you know who it is?" Michael asked urgentl

"Shut up!" Cassian snarled.He had long since had enough of that sissy, Jordan. After shooting Jordan a glare, he turned back to Frederick. "If I'm not mistaken, you hired that hitman to go after Serena to get even on Cain's behalf, didn't you?""I didn't! I did no such thing!" Frederick denied it at once before struggling against Cassian's grip. "Let go of me!""I'll let you go as soon as you admit it was you who sent the hitman after Serena," Cassian said flatly."Although I despise that bitch Serena, I haven't sunk so low that I'd hire a hitman," Frederick retorted."It really wasn't you who hired the hitman?""It wasn't me!" Frederick declared. "I can swear on my life. If I'd hired him, I'd die a miserable death."Cassian released Frederick, but he gave him a slap across the face."Why the fuck did you hit me?" Frederick roared."You'd better not forget that Serena's my woman. If I ever hear you calling her a bitch again, I'll cut your tongue out. Now, get lost!" Cassian s

"Hey, sorry, man.""Excuse us for disturbing you guys."The two young men bolted at once. They knew if they stuck around, they might lose their lives.Sitting down beside Vera, Cassian asked worriedly, "Are you alright, Dr. Frost?"Vera turned her head, her cheeks flushed and her eyes hazy with drunkenness. When she saw Cassian, she broke into a goofy smile. "You came… Drink with me… Drink up…"Cassian had to admit that drunk Vera was quite different. She'd lost some of her usual sternness, and it was replaced by a touch of sultriness. That, combined with her getup, made her quite bewitching."You really shouldn't drink anymore, Dr. Frost," Cassian advised."I want to drink. I'm going to drink," she insisted before pointing a finger at him. "Stop calling me Dr. Frost. Call me Vera.""You've already had enough, Vera. You can't keep drinking anymore.""Cassian, are we friends?" she suddenly asked.Cassian nodded. "Of course we are.""If we're friends, then drink with me. We're

When Cassian lifted his head, he accidentally caught sight of a torn photo that was erected on the nightstand. Vera could be seen sitting on a lawn while smiling brightly at the camera in the photo. As for the other half, it was already torn away.Cassian didn't think much about it. He soon tiptoed out of the bedroom.As soon as he reached the living room, he heard Vera's phone ring loudly."It's already late. Who'd call Dr. Frost at this hour?" Cassian was a little puzzled.Cassian walked to the couch and glanced at Vera's phone. The caller ID showed an unknown number. A while later, the call was automatically disconnected. Cassian was about to leave when Vera's phone rang again. The same unknown number was still calling her, apparently."Could it be that the caller needs to reach out to Dr. Frost because of an emergency?"After a moment of hesitation, Cassian picked up the phone and pressed the "answer" button. Before he could say anything, a man's voice came drifting through

"Dr. Frost's uncle is Valen Frost, aged 47 years old. He's the chief of staff of a southwest military unit as well as a general."Other than that, Dr. Frost's cousin, Blake Frost, is a powerful man of his own merit. He has a nickname called 'Blake the Great,' and he, alongside Nero Salazar, is known as the two greatest heroes of this generation."Cassian just smiled bitterly after that. "Mom, I'm just a regular doctor. Am I even worthy of her affections?""Why not? My son is the best!"Then again, all the mothers in this world shared the same delusion that their son was the best.Cassian wasn't sure how to feel. "Even if I were to get together with Dr. Frost, her family would still object to us being a couple because of my background.""Ah, so you're worried about that! You don't have to worry about your background, Cass. I'd like to see who has the guts to stop you from dating Vera as long as you two are in love with each other! "I'll have you know that families more powerful
