At night, Tyrone scrolled through the news on his phone with a contented smile. While what he did might not be able to dethrone Irvin, it was nonetheless enough to set Irvin back.And if Irvin couldn't handle this crisis, his company stock price would fall, too. When that happened, the board would put pressure on Irvin.And indeed, as Tyrone predicted, the stock price of Irvin's company fell by 3% on the third day. It might not seem a lot, but several hundred million evaporated due to the fall. The board demanded an explanation from Irvin. Irvin couldn't find Maisey, so he could only hold a press conference to explain in public.During the day of the conference, the press flooded the spacious conference hall inside Irvin's office building. Tyrone also joined in the fun because he knew something scandalous was about to happen.Entering the hall, Irvin's eyebrows perked up when he saw Tyrone. Tyrone's presence could only mean that something bad would happen soon. In fact, Irvin used

Maisey sighed wistfully. Her python would have been as big as this anaconda if her family hadn't sold the pet shop off. Perhaps Maisey had this hurt look on her that made Irvin grow soft. He patted the anaconda's sleek head and instructed the guard next to him."Tell the chef to prepare a dinner for two."The guard was taken aback by Irvin's decision, but he complied nonetheless."I like spicy food. Please tell the chef to add extra chilis," Maisey demanded shamelessly.Irvin chuckled. "You sure are comfortable.""Self-care is important. When are you paying me? Once I have the money, I'll say whatever you want me to say." Maisey looked at Irvin with her big, round eyes.Irvin's heart skipped a beat when he met Maisey's gaze of sincerity. It was a strange feeling—after all, gone was the time Irvin pined for a romantic relationship. Now, he changed his girlfriends like he changed his clothes."Tell me what you know first.""Pay up first."Irvin glared at Maisey, but Maisey was u

Irvin was six back then. Tyrone wasn't even born yet. Ambrose took Irvin to see his uncle. And what he saw had been forever seared into his mind. With just a few words, Ambrose made his younger brother jump from a building.Irvin was … shocked. Traumatized, even. Before his uncle made the leap, he looked toward Irvin. Irvin still couldn't decipher the look on his uncle's face. Was it pity? Hatred? Or was it something else?As Irvin spaced out, Tyrone left the room. He withdrew the needle on Ang. But the latter was still groaning on the floor. His eyes contorted unnaturally."Send him to the hospital," Irvin ordered.His underlings got to work immediately and sent Ang to the hospital. Fortunately for Ang, he was safe. The doctor gave him some sedatives, and he was discharged after a few days of rest. After Tyrone left Hendrick Consortium, he went to see Eve."Woah. What brought you here, fiancé?" Eve walked in and gave Tyrone a mirthless smile. She was still reeling from the surpri

After that event, Maisey stayed in the mansion obediently, waiting for the day Irvin was kind enough to let her go. Luckily, Irvin did not restrict Maisey's movement in the mansion. She could go anywhere except the study room.One time, the anaconda slithered into the study. Maisey went inside to retrieve it. Irvin saw it and reprimanded her loudly. What was so secretive about the study anyway? It was so boring. After reminiscing, Maisey scratched the soles of her feet as the anaconda lay on her chest. After a month of confinement, while Maisey wanted to get out, she also felt bad leaving the anaconda.Maisey had always liked snakes. And without the anaconda, Maisey couldn't imagine how bored she would be in the past month. Maisey knew that if she left the mansion one day, she would miss it terribly.Suddenly, the door to her room flung open. Judging from the gait, Maisey knew it was Irvin. She pursed her lips and refused to turn around to greet him. Furthermore, she picked up a f

When Tyrone took out the needles, Fanny flinched. Even though she had seen them countless times, Fanny was still a child. She had an instinctive fear of pointed objects. Tyrone fished out a candy from his pocket. He took it from Neal's bar. It was a candy that was sweet but not sickening.More importantly, it contained sedatives. When someone took the candy, they would feel drowsy. Indeed, after Fanny took the candy, her eyes softened. She licked her lips and focused on the candy on her tongue.Tyrone then seized this window of opportunity and administered acupuncture therapy to Fanny. Patrick stood and observed from the side. He was trying to learn how Tyrone used his needles so that he could treat Fanny when Tyrone was away.Tyrone knew what Patrick was doing and did not stop him. After the therapy, Fanny was already sound asleep. Patrick was deep in his thoughts, seemingly trying to replay the puncture sequence inside his mind."Let's head out," Tyrone said to Patrick and Emerso
