Chapter 541
Veronica found the Prime Estate's Head Butler, Herbert McKlin, standing at the end of the hallway, which had soldiers from the golden-elite troop, controlled by the patriarch alone, lined up at both ends.The prime estate's Head Butler, Herbert McKlin, had an unreadable smile on his face as we watched one of the great master's grandchildren heading towards him.He bowed slightly in a show of respect.“Young Madam Veronica, you're finally here. The patriarch has been a bit impatient about your arrival. I hope you have a good excuse for your youth.”There was definitely a tone of respect, but the undertone and wordings themselves made it clear that he wasn't happy with her.Veronica also bowed slightly before the Prime Estate's Head Butler, Herbert McKlin. This older man is the closest to the patriarch himself, closer to the great master than any of the notable members of the Whiteridge family.As the prime estate's Head Butler, Herbert McKlin held authority that was second to none.

Veronica took a step back, keeping quiet momentarily before she felt anger bubbling within her heart “Hold on, what?!”Great Master Hunter Whiteridge was in a very casual sweater that actually wasn't thick enough, looking like a member of the elite wealthy class going out to play golf.“What?! Are you deaf?! Theresa Knox. Benjamin’s poor grandmother. How dare you involve her in a beef with your cousin?!”Veronica couldn't believe her ears and eyes. Of all the things that would actually piss off her grandfather, Benjamin's foster grandmother was truly the last person she expected to be the most important person in the great master's mind right now.“Grandpa, what's going on?! Why are you working yourself up over this?! Isn't she just an old woman?!”Veronica didn't know why her question had led to the entire office immediately becoming cold, even going as far as to make her shudder, but she could see that the patriarch was responsible for this.“Um…. Grandpa?”Hunter Whiteridge glare

Veronica halted her own words, realizing just how ridiculous it would sound once it left her lips completely.How did her grandfather find out that she had launched an ambush against her cousin at Mayor Gregory Fern's residence? This was the question she was going to blurt out. But it would have been a very dumb question to ask. After all, as a highly regarded young madam of the Whiteridge family, she should know more than anyone just how easy it is for the prime estate to gather intel on anyone and anything as long as it exists. Keeping tabs on the actions of the rest of the family is not excluded.This is one of the many ways in which the patriarch or matriarch of the Whiteridge family has maintained utmost power: keeping tabs on the rest of the family to ensure no one is acting out of line against the family's established order, driven by greed for power.Therefore, it made absolute sense that the Great Master Hunter was aware of the feud that had been going on between his highly

“Grandpa, are you serious?!”Veronica was mortified by this revelation at this point. There was already the fact that she was struggling with: a sudden, long-lost cousin of hers had a very high chance of surpassing her and actually becoming the heir apparent. Now, it turns out that the foster grandmother of that long-lost cousin of hers has managed to bag the affection of the very man who's currently occupying the seat of patriarch.“Y…You're not kidding, are you? You're really in a relationship with Benjamin's grandmother.”Great Master Hunter stared at her granddaughter before clearing his throat.“You helped the Tyrone family - a known group of enemies to your own cousin - get a hold of his foster grandmother. Veronica, you aided an enemy of this family. I am disappointed in you.”Veronica began shaking her head with eyes rimmed red as tears threatened to slide down her face.“No! No, you can't say it like that. You can't put it like that! That woman is his foster grandmother! They

Veronica knew that there was no going back. In the Whiteridge family, the patriarch's words are the law to which everyone is subjected, including her.Once the favored grandchild of the great master, she's now stripped of her greatest asset, the major shares of Tyrone Groups. She's no longer a worthy contender for the position of Heir Apparent, and she's being grounded.This is deeply humiliating to Veronica. Being the favored heir contender within this large family did not come easy at all. She grew up bullying, manipulating, and engaging in all sorts of horrible acts to weed out the real threats amongst the contenders.Over two decades, she kept scheming her way to the top, until she got to where she was. And now, it was all gone, all because she orchestrated the kidnapping of an outsider who she didn't realize had actually become an honorary member of her family.Veronica has been caught scheming against a family member. This was a capital offence within the family, and she's payi

Prime Butler Herbert McKlin sighed as he shook his head, helping the old patriarch out of his seat and towards the more comfortable sofa.“Sir, you'll definitely have to wait till, at least, Young Master Benjamin finishes his undergrad studies at EDU. So, on behalf of everyone who's not aware that you're scamming them with your feigned illness, I implore you to hang in there.”Hunter Whiteridge smacked his prime butler's arm with a chuckle escaping his lips.“Are you done making fun of me? You and your sarcastic words piss me off sometimes.”Once they were closer to the expansive sofa, Hunter walked the rest of the way without help, never needing to begin with. It has grown from putting on a show of weakness to the rest of the family to simply being accustomed to it. Truly, the patriarch and the prime estate's Head Butler were no different from sworn brothers.Occupying his seat, he lay down a bit and shut his eyes for a moment, taking in the calming noises in the background.“I don'

The team brought the ‘goods’ to the Skull High Gang's private estate. The whole place was busy. Security guards were on high alert, stationed at every entrance inside and outside the expansive vicinity. The housekeepers were doing their jobs as well.Today is, of course, a very important day for the bosses of the gang. The Don and Lady of Skull High Gang are said to become gods. Today, they will be immortalized.Most of these people in the estate have no idea what this truly means. Heck, they were never even aware that Christ Stoop and Anna Ray had supernatural powers. Of course, they were aware that Don Christ was freakishly strong and fast, but most of these people never witnessed the fullest extent of that despite working on that estate for decades.This is how deeply secretive Christ and Anna have been with their true powers. In and around the main mansion, there are already luxurious tables being set for the after-party of today's main event, which was taking place underground,

Hearing the mockery tone turn to that of slight disgust, Don Christ Stoop reached out to caress his lover's hand, as he could tell that she was getting upset.“Enough of that traitor, my love. You're gonna ruin your mood for today's special event. We don't want anything going wrong, right? Let's go through today's special event. We can always catch him in the future. That traitor won't be making it past our net. He's got nowhere to go. He's basically a cornered lamb waiting to be slaughtered.”These words soothed Anna Ray’s mood immensely, and she couldn't help but stare at her lover with soft eyes.“You really get me. That's why I love you.”To that, Christ Stoop raised Anna's hand and gave the back of her palm a tender kiss, all while maintaining eye contacts.“Tonight, I'll take you deeper into paradise, deeper than you've ever been.”Anna pulled her hand out and smacked Christ’s chest while giggling shyly.“You're too shameless.”This scene, if seen by outsiders who had no prior
Chapter 549
The entire hall was shocked by Don Christ Stoop's sudden outburst. Wasn't he in bliss just now? So what happened to cause such a sudden change?!”Seeing confusion on the faces of the medical doctors near him, he reiterated with a harsher tone.“Are you fools fucking deaf or what?! Get this thing off me and the lady!”With that second yell, the atmosphere seemed to pulsate with my gut, causing terror to strike the hearts of everyone. Don Christ Stoop was no longer the same weakling. He now possesses a much stronger aura than before, making him more frightening. This means that whatever they were doing, it was working. Then why is he ordering for it to have it removed?The medical doctors had no choice but to obey though. If it were up to them, they would have advised the Don to persist, but disobedience would most likely cost them their lives.Therefore, the helmets were quickly taken off the heads of Christ Stoop and Anna Ray.As soon as this was done, Anna was furious as she stumble

April gazed back up at the older psychic.“You're not wrong, you need to go a little further back. Everything that happened on the battlefield with Dr. Klaus Tank, the thugs, and the mutated creatures was all part of our plan.”Don Christ Stoop spoke with a seemingly unbothered tone, highlighting his impressive leadership ability to appear calm and collected even in the face of disturbances that hit too close to home….literally, in this case.“So the part where Dr. Klaus was able to control April's mind through the previously installed hypnosis, was it all an act?”April clarified on this.“Back then, I hadn't awakened my psychic powers, and I was physically in a weak state. Dr. Klaus Tank has placed the hypnosis in my mind, only to be activated at his command. But he never anticipated that I was actually a psychic. After my powers awoke, you can imagine how insignificant such cheap hypnosis would be with the mental space that my true abilities were evolving to take up.”Lady Anna Ra
