The Lorimers acted swiftly. They quickly hired a female bodyguard for Vivian. Her name was Cassidy Lowe, and she had retired from the special forces previously. After looking at her impressive fighting skills during the interview, the Lorimers were satisfied. They were confident that Marcus wouldn't be able to get near Vivian if Cassidy was around. Meanwhile, Vivian didn't care that the Lorimers had hired a bodyguard for her. She let them do as they pleased. After all, Tension Incorporated was extremely busy during this period. After Zenith and Zayclon Corporation left the state, the business expanded rapidly with the help of Phisteele Corporation. Moreover, they were planning to enter the capital city's market. So, Vivian was extremely preoccupied. That day, Marcus arrived at Tension Incorporated as usual. Once he entered the place, many bodyguards took the initiative to greet him.Although they had been transferred to Tension Incorporated, Marcus was still their su

"It doesn't matter if you guys believe in him," Nora pointed out. "Everything is already clear. Vivian, stop getting yourself involved with him. You've already divorced him!""I didn't take it." Seeing that the Lorimers didn't believe him, Marcus decided to let Murray investigate the ripped check.It wasn't considered anything difficult for Murray, anyway.Marcus left the Lorimer residence furiously.Nora was provoked by his attitude. "Look at him. What an arrogant attitude he has! He's the one who did something wrong, yet he's acting as if he's innocent! It's like we're the ones who made a mistake!“It was the first time Vivian saw Nora getting so angry.Although Vivian fully believed in Marcus, she didn't have concrete evidence. Thus, it was better for her not to side with him.Meanwhile, Brenda had secretly gotten together with Emily. They were going to help Marcus find evidence that he didn't take away the one million dollar check.The two women were very smart. They found

The Lorimers sneered at Marcus' words.Even Vivian felt extremely disappointed in him.A night had passed, and the Lorimers got up and started to get busy.However, there were guests waiting just as their main gate opened.The butler widened his eyes in shock when he saw the several sleek and luxurious convertible BMWs parked outside the door."May I ask if this is the Lorimers' residence?" a man asked after getting out of one of the convertible BMWs.The butler quickly nodded. "That's right. May I ask you are …""I'm the head of Prudence County's Samson family. I'm here today to gift my county's factory to Ms. Vivian Lorimer."Then, the head of the Samson family looked inside the house. "Is she here?""She's here. Please wait for a moment!"The butler quickly rushed into the house to report to Nora.Everyone in the family quickly went to the gate.Upon seeing Vivian, the head of the Samson family handed her a document. Then, he started respectfully, "Ms. Lorimer, this is a

In Prudence County, the Gunnarson family was the least influential among the ten elite families.The family was weak compared to the other nine elite families, so it had been leeching off others to survive. First of all, they relied on Zenith. When Zenith died, they pledged their allegiance to Zayclon Corporation. Soon, Zenith left Prudence County as well.So, the Gunnarson family had been laughed at by the other nine elite families for being a jinx. Any person or group they leeched off would have bad luck.This had put the Gunnarson family in a more awkward position. Even families who were ranked lower than the ten elite families could humiliate them because the Gunnarson family had no way to deny it.Due to the family's infamy of being a jinx, no one wanted to have anything to do with the Gunnarson family after it was humiliated by the other factions.The once popular Gunnarson family which relied on Zenith and Zayclon Corporation was deserted. Even the family's servants ran awa

They were happy that Rey chose their family.The three underworld bosses of Prudence County, Tucker, Seamus, and Cassius, were annihilated in one night. The name, Rey Sharpe, rose to fame. He wiped out the entire county's underworld with only two masked men.Everyone in Prudence County was scared.Thanks to Rey's occupancy in the Gunnarson residence, the Gunnarson family's position rose as well.Those who humiliated them before were trembling in fear. Most people apologized to the Gunnarson family in public or secret. Some even sent them lavish gifts including cash, precious artifacts, and even rare treasures. Shaun and Justin felt proud of that."Oh!" When Rey returned to the Gunnarson residence, he kept thinking about Tucker's dying words. Rey asked Justin and Shaun, "Tucker said there is someone whom I co
