The news that Dylan Steward had been made an invalid quickly spread in Rollinsford. Anyone with a discerning eye could tell that this was the Leonards exacting revenge. After all, no family would take the matter lying down when it involved the death of their progeny. The Leonards and Stewards had also long been feuding.The Leonards were also suppressing the Stewards' means of business besides retaliating against the younger generation. The Stewards may have thrived but they were still weak and defenseless against the behemoth that was the Leonards.It only took a few days for the Stewards to lose millions.This extent of a crackdown was not one that ordinary households could bear. It was a heavy blow to the Stewards.Carter Steward exhausted all means to defend himself against the Leonards doling out their vengeance. He had even sought help from the Yaegers, but who would run a fool's errand? Who would be willing to offend such an influential family for the sake of a third-class hous

Dove's refined features were twisted with shock. She had never thought that a person who was regarded as trash by everyone would be quite this unfathomable.Before her shock could subside, the butler's voice rang out from the front yard. "Sir, Miss, Noelle of the Stewards is here to see Ms. Dove.""Noelle?" Dove was taken aback.Castor gave her a wry smile. "The Stewards are in danger. I suppose she's here to ask for a favor if she's seeking you out.""Are you saying she's here to seek my help for the Stewards?" Dove scrunched her brows. "How should I answer?"Castor frowned as he thought it through. "You should see her, Dove. I'll come by later and let you know."Dove nodded and left. Castor shut the door and dialed Asher's number.Asher's number was something Castor had acquired last night, but it was not something he had expected to use quite so soon.If he was right and Noelle was truly here to ask for help, the Yaegers would do nothing to lend a hand if their relationship with As

It was not until now when he had laid eyes on Asher that confirmed his speculations. Asher Crawford had gone into hiding in Rollinsford for two years, and he became part of the Stewards as a good-for-nothing in-law."Wait upstairs for me, Dove." Castor Yaeger was a smart man who was aware of Asher's circumstances and knew that he had no desire to reveal his true identity. This was something even Dove could not know.Dove frowned. She had never seen her brother with such a tense expression. Why was he so nervous when faced with the Steward's loser?Dove chose not to ask. She just gave her brother a look, then went upstairs, confused.Castor hesitated for a moment before striding toward the corner and greeting Asher with respect. "Do you remember me, Mr. Crawford? I'm Castor. I was fortunate to have met you at a party in the Capital City two years ago."Asher had always had a good memory even as a child. He could recognize anyone he had ever met at one glance.A trace of killing intent

Asher could not help but clench his fists. His heart was broken."I've been worked like a slave for two years, suffered this family's insults and never complained. I'm not vying for the power the Stewards hold, nor do I care about my identity as a man who married into the family. The only thing I cared about was a woman. And, that woman was you, Noelle."When you saved my life, I treated you as a wife and respected you as my benefactor. I would do anything as long as it made you happy."My only hope was for you to notice my dedication just so you would come to accept me as your husband. I just didn't expect you to not care at all despite me being by your side for two years."Perhaps I wasn't destined to be the man that will accompany you for the rest of your life. I'll accept that reality and agree to the divorce. Just keep in mind that I, Asher, no longer owe you anything."Asher's voice was not loud. It was instead exceptionally calm, and yet, his eyes revealed his disappointment an

Noelle was taken aback. She had not expected Radley to show up so soon and offer them no time to prepare at all.Carter was likewise taken by panic. He fixed Noelle an angry stare and hurried out of the study.The Steward household's backyard was now a bustling hub.Radley Leonard's countenance was grim, and his slitted eyes were fueled by anger. Just one look would keep the Stewards silent.Behind him were seven to eight towering, burly men. Anyone who knew Radley would be made aware that they were combat experts that he had picked out to be his bodyguards.Radley, however, seldom went about with them by his side. For him to have brought so many of his men with him was a rare sight even for Erick Steward. He had assumed that Radley was here for him and wanted to run away out of the sheer horror."I want Asher Craig before me in half an hour. Otherwise, the Stewards will bear my wrath!"Erick felt only relief when he heard that Radley was here for Asher."There's no need for all this,

Asher raised a brow. He had a vague epiphany that Livia had perhaps discovered his true identity yesterday when they were all convened at the Steward's home. Why else would she have helped him? It was unexpected how smart this girl was to have not revealed his identity right there and then. If the matter were to get out, the enemy would hound the Stewards.With matters now coming to light, Asher could not continue with concealing the matter, and so he said seriously, "I hope you can keep my identity under wraps, Lily. No one else can know besides us. Otherwise, it won't just be me. The Stewards will also be under fire.""Huh?" Livia panicked. "Is the matter so grave, Ash? Thank God I didn't tell anyone else. I swear I'll take this secret to the grave with me. That said, can you help us through this turbulent time?"Asher was left pondering on the matter for a while. "Let me think about it."He would likely expose his true identity if he openly aided the Stewards. That was exactly what
