With Billy rescued and the thug leader finally killed, the gorgeous woman and her small group proceeded to set the warehouse on fire, burning the corpses of the thugs inside as well.The area was deserted, so no one would notice for a while that a wooden warehouse was on fire.Meanwhile, with Billy now with them, Stacy hugged him tightly while tearing up. “Dude, what the heck?! I thought you were a goner!”Billy had to weakly remind Stacy to ease up on the hug as he was still hurt.Sonia stared at Billy with concern. “Tell us, who sent thugs after you?”Billy stared back at Sonia. “It seems you already have a suspicion as well. It's your big-shot Oscar-winning boyfriend who had me kidnapped and tortured. He wanted to find Jamie to make him pay for the humiliation he endured at your birthday party.”Sonia clenched her jaws as the anger bubbled within her. “What the actual….”The gorgeous woman interrupted before Sonia could finish cursing. “Miss Goodwin, Miss Reynold, I think we shoul

“Wait, why were you away on an island with an old man for more than one week?”He suddenly gasped with a raised eyebrow. “Holy shit! Did you get yourself a sugar daddy….”Jamie immediately smacked Billy's head sideways, with little regard for his current condition. “Don't spew rubbish like that again, or I won't even give a damn about your current state. I'll bitch slap you on the spot.”Billy held his face in fear. “Okay, I was just kidding! Sheesh! So touchy. You know, it only makes you more sus….”Jamie raised a palm, like he was actually going to slap Billy on the face. “Shut up!”Stacy waved her hand at Billy with a slight displeasure. “Billy, enough with the sugar daddy stuff. Jamie, then what exactly did he invite you over to the Islands of the Maldives for?”Sonia hummed. “He had already done so much by having you dress up for my birthday.”Jamie smiled. “Actually, I didn't even meet the Ashford subordinate there. I met the Ashford subordinate's son instead, who told me about

The person on the other end of the call spoke with a respectful calmness. “Sir Tyson, please, calm down. I have some forensic experts on my team and they're currently at the scene. They've accounted for the corpses and the boy is not among them.”Tyson halted in his back-and-forth pacing with a deep frown. “So the kidnapped boy was rescued? Are there any signs of a battle?”The masculine voice replied. “Judging from the results we've gotten so far, yes, a battle did happen. But I'll keep you updated once my team has the complete results.”Tyson was not in a good mood. This wasn't the result he wanted at all. But there was nothing he could do right now but wait. With a sigh, he gave in. “Fibe, just….”He paused as an idea popped into his head. “Hey, you know what? Send me pictures of the burnt warehouse and the corpses.”The masculine voice spoke with confusion. “Um, Sir Tyson, what do you need them for?”Tyson replied with anger. “What the fuck did you just ask me?! Have you forgott

So what if the Ashford subordinate gave Jamie a bit of money? With the debt he owed St. Mary's Hospital for his mother's treatment and post-death procedures, as well as the debt he owed Harari Dalton, the manager of Momentuum Nightclub, Amanda was certain that Jamie would soon run out of money.In fact, it was highly probable that Jamie would return to a life of debt. In that case, Amanda was incredibly grateful that she didn't let Jamie's incredibly attractive looks at Sonia's birthday party cause her to make a wrong move. She would have definitely regretted it by now.She turned to Nathan, suddenly giving him a gentle kiss on his cheek. “Baby, you should work towards building a sturdy relationship with Tyson Crook from now on. For now, doing his bidding will mostly be beneficial to you. Since the three of you share the same goal - to make Jamie's life miserable, you and Jonathan should see him as your private backer from now on.”Jonathan simply nodded his head in agreement, but he

Sonia gasped. “That's the total purchase price of my condo.”Billy patted Jamie's shoulder. “Bri, the Ashford subordinate gave you this penthouse. I kinda feel bad that he's losing so much money.”Tom cleared his throat. “Actually, my superior purchased this penthouse for Boss Jamie.”Billy nodded his head. “And how much did that cost?”Tom Yates shared a glance with his young master before he replied. “Not too much. Just approximately $79 million.”The three friends said nothing. In fact, they didn't move for half a minute.It got to the point that Jamie felt worried for them. “Are you guys okay?”The three glanced at each other as the daze was finally wearing off. They nodded their heads.“Us? Of course, we're fine!”“Super fine!”“Absolutely Coolio!’Jamie understood their reaction. “Alright, guys. Let's have a meal together first. Then I'll add how you guys gifted cars in my garage.”Once again, the power of the Ashford clan was being highlighted. A fully furnished penthouse wort
