Semua Bab You Wed Your Past; I Wed My Future: Bab 471 - Bab 480

Barry never thought someone would have the audacity to spike the drink he specifically had prepared for Stephanie.Outraged, he kicked the attendant a few more times, shouting, "Who sent you? Start talking now!""I really don't know what's happening…" Despite sweating profusely from the pain, the attendant stubbornly denied everything.Just then, he heard an icy chuckle and felt a chill run down his spine. He mustered what little courage he had to look up—only to meet a pair of eyes as cold as a glacier. His throat instantly tightened, making it much harder for him to breathe."You won't talk, huh?" Adrian remarked frostily. "Take him away. I don't care what you have to do to pry his mouth open.""Understood."Having received the order, the bodyguards were just about to haul the attendant away. However, Adrian had succeeded in scaring the life out of the attendant. The moment the bodyguards grabbed his arm, he began to howl, "No! Don't hit me! I'll talk!"He spilled everything a

"Don't be mad," Adrian said softly. "Tyler has already dug his own grave.""Huh?" Stephanie frowned. "What has he done now?""A shipment from Hawke Group is set to be shipped abroad tomorrow evening. My people just discovered a few workers sneaking something into the original cargo," Adrian said.Those people had been extremely careful, of course, but Adrian's subordinates were doubly so. Even after discovering the workers, they didn't act immediately. Instead, they monitored the workers in secret before calling Adrian.This evening, not only had someone tried to harm Stephanie, but was also trying to set up Adrian. Tyler was the most likely suspect to be the mastermind behind both plots.And since he was so eager to set himself up like that, Adrian was more than happy to play along.Stephanie frowned. "If Tyler's the one behind all the schemes tonight, it leaves me with a question. How does he have the means to cause trouble by sneaking contraband into Jetterpolis?"Tyler's inf

Tyler's only option now was to leave Jetterpolis and flee abroad as quickly as possible. That was his only hope for survival.No matter how reluctant he was to accept this outcome, under the circumstances, it was no longer possible for him to set up Hawke Group.As long as he could get away with this unscathed, there would always be another chance. Sooner or later, he would rise up again."Mr. Grover, you need to make a decision at once. If you take too long, it might end up being too late!" Derek urged.Tyler gritted his teeth and immediately knocked on Martha's door.Having already fallen asleep, she was rather bleary-eyed when she came to the door. But once Tyler told her about the situation, she was so alarmed that she almost had a heart attack.Tears streamed down her face as she pounded Tyler in the chest, crying out hysterically, "Are you insane? How could you get involved with something like that! Are you trying to get yourself killed?""I didn't touch them! I just plann

"He's already here? Didn't he claim that he'll only be here in two days?"The caller answered Amelia's questions over the line."Fine. I understand now."Amelia then shot Hector a glance before ending the call."What's the matter?" Hector asked.Amelia was still feeling nervous at first. But when she looked at Hector, a half-smirk appeared on her face."My father-in-law has come home.""I see." Hector nodded. "Then you should go home as soon as possible.""I'm planning on doing just that. But the thing is, you have to return with me," Amelia said. "My father-in-law said that he wishes to see you… today."Upon hearing Amelia's response, Hector's expression froze on his face for a split second."He… wishes to see me today?""Yes. You are to go to the Hawke residence with me, Dad."Hector wanted to say something, but he opted to not do that in the end.The truth was, he really didn't want to see Jedidiah at all. When Hector was with the others, he was the esteemed elder the

While the conversation was awfully short, it was enough to make Hector sweat bullets.He was the respected elder in front of others. No one could do anything about him even if they were on opposing sides.But now, Jedidiah was back. He was the only one who could deal with Hector's arrogance. After all, Hector had witnessed how ruthless and decisive Jedidiah was back in his youth. Yes, Jedidiah had grown old, became devoted to his religion, and wasn't interested in sticking his nose into other people's business. Still, Hector knew that the former wouldn't give a rat's ass about the Hawkes' relationship with the Suttons as in-laws if he got seriously pissed off about something.It seemed that Jedidiah didn't have anything else he wanted to tell Hector anymore. Then again, poor Hector was left feeling all tense and scared as he sat quietly in the drawing room.A while later, he finally came up with an excuse that he had to deal with something so that he could leave. Fortunately for
