Chapter 581
As everyone continued watching the Livestream, their hearts could only melt in support of Edward reuniting with his little sister, Stacy.Sonia and Billy patted Stacy's shoulder, also accepting that Stacy still has a biological sibling who truly cares for her. They were sure that Edward was just as oblivious about everything as Stacy was.But not Jamie, who kept staring at the screen of his phone, watching the Livestream while listening to what his girlfriend and best friend were telling his little sister.Jamie certainly did not believe what Edward had said so far. This is because he knows that Edward isn't being truthful on this livestream. He had lied, a lot.For one, it is not true that Edward had been away from home most of the time. Back when Jamie and his mother had begun suffering under Benard and his sons, Edward had actually returned home many times to remind Jamie and his mother of their place.Edward was not happy when he heard that his father had gotten married once more

Assistant William Jerbel rubbed the sore spot with a wry smile. “Sorry, Sir.”After that, Assistant William glanced at the driver with a slight glare. “Well? What the fuck are you still doing just sitting there? Get us back to the company already.”The driver nodded swiftly and the car started, getting on the road and leaving behind the few fans with the signboards still chanting Edward's name.Edward scoffed as he gave them a last glance through the tinted windshield before settling back in his seat. “Even the worst criminals throughout history still earned themselves a lot of admirers decades and centuries after their horrendous crimes have been proven to be true.”“So what does that make me who has been vindicated of any involvement in any crimes committed by my family? It's only natural that people rebel against the patterned thinking of the rest of the world.”Assistant William pointed something out. “Sir, we also gave your face card to thank you for this. A face like yours woul

Edward waved his hands exaggeratedly. “But look how things have turned out. Stacy remains a traitor after everything that has happened. She actually dares to lean further into Jamie's help, associating herself with him even deeper.”“If I had been allowed to discipline her and mold her mind, she would have been a great help to the family with how close she is to Jamie.”Assistant William Jerbel became intrigued by what he was hearing. “Oh? Sir, what would you have done differently?”Glad that his scheming ego is being allowed to express itself, Edward gladly answered. “First, I would merely alter Stacy's entire perception of Jamie and his mother, but I won't have her removed from his side completely.”“If things had gone according to my plan, Stacy would have remained a perfect agent at Jamie's side, accumulating his years of gratitude, while probing for every single weakness that I could explore.”Assistant William raised an eyebrow. “You were going to make your little sister a spy?

“W …What?”Assistant William’s sinister smile dwindled in disappointment. “Is that it? That's all you can muster right now? Are you fucking kidding me? Aren't you gonna ask questions about how we found out?!”The driver stared at William before shifting his gaze to Edward, whose face was now cloaked, almost concealing the sinister intrigue in his eyes.“There's a mole in the police force, isn't there? Whatever society the Reynold family belongs to, you both are a part of it as well. You lied to the world. You're the backup Benard Reynold had long installed in case he fell.”The undercover agent was shaking violently, but a resolute expression was on his face, conveying that he was giving in to his inevitable fate.“Edward Reynold, no matter how smart you think you are, the world will find out just what you really are….just like how your father and brothers were exposed.”Edward stared at the undercover police officer with a widening smile. “Too bad you won't be here to verify your pre
Chapter 585
The undercover police officer found his window of opportunity. There was a dagger he had hidden beneath the seat ever since he got this job. This had always been for emergencies like this. Though this police officer has no idea that he would be discovered at all, not to mention this soon, and that he would end up needing his hidden dagger this early.He steadily reached beneath the seat through the small space between his seat and the closed door, sliding his palm tight through.The entire time, his eyes never left Assistant William's horribly morphed face. His hand finally reached the hilt of his dagger and he had just firmly held onto it when he felt something sliding over the back of his palm.He froze as he felt the moving body was wet and thick. It was like a wet tentacle feeling his hand. A horrible deduction lit up in his mind.This police officer made his decision as he swung his hand out of cover, straight towards Assistant William's neck. But a thin spike suddenly shot rig

Having been the private driver of Edward for more than a month, he had mapped many escape routes. He knew where to run to get away from here, and that monster, as fast as possible.The monster in the car was looking less like a human as his skin began to move like a suit that was losing its form, undulating horrendously with every struggle.After a couple of seconds, Edward stopped struggling to remove the dagger from his eyes. It had been ruthlessly plunged deep into his eyes.He sat up straight, murmuring to himself. “Oh, I'm starting to feel pain. Fuck, his aim is good. I gotta give him that. Now, I'm mad. He has to pay before he dies today. I'll make sure to let out my anger at him.”With every word, the dark smile on his face became maddening as he attempted to open the door on the passenger side, only to find that it was locked.A second later, he figured that the officer had locked it from the driver's side. “A well-trained spy, huh? The city's police force is definitely gonna

“Aaarrrgh!”A chuckle could be heard getting closer and the severely wounded officer could see the arachnid form of Assistant William Jerbel hanging off the side of the building like a true spider. Even from the distance of three floors, including the disadvantage of exhausted and teary eyes, the wounded police officer could still see the haunting smile on the face of this half-dark entity. William yelled out his words in between mocking chuckles, the dagger still embedded deep in his eyes. “Seriously, I've gotta give it to you. Jumping out of a building at such a height, just to get away from me…...”He chuckled briefly. “The LA police department definitely sent their best officer to look into my boss didn't they? Too bad you met me.”He began pulling the dark tendrils like the rope, moving his head to the officer's scream of agony as he was being pulled back up to that floor, kegs first.After all, these dark tendrils were pulling the unfortunate officer through the wounds they ha

Edward sighed as he began folding his sleeves. “Fine, you're not actually that bad. I can spare you, but you're definitely not escaping proper punishment.”He held up his arm with the luxurious wristwatch on his wrist, and he gazed at his assistant with a pitiful stare that contradicted the sadistic uptilt that tugged slightly at the corner of his lips. “Trust me, this will hurt you more than it hurt me.”William knew this was a blatant lie. In fact, he knew that Edward knew that he knew that those words were lies. Edward was definitely going to take pleasure in punishing his assistant.Edward tilted the watch and a slight click was heard. What followed was a loud hum at the back of William's neck.William's face scrunched up in agony as his body tensed up. Then the sound of high voltage was heard and the assistant began convulsing tremendously.He fell back to the ground, foaming at the mouth as the electrocution didn't cease for a second.The punishment lasted for half an hour, by

Jamie stared at her for a while before patting her hand one last time and retracting it. “Fine, but in case anything happens, let one of my bodyguards accompany you. I'll arrange your transport.”Before Stacy could say anything, Jamie caught her off guard with a slight glare. “Right now, I'm the only sibling you can trust. Edward might be your blood brother, but he's more of a stranger to you than I could ever be right now. Until he's earned your trust, the security set-up won't be relaxed around him at all.”“This is me making a statement. This is me letting him know that you were never alone despite everything. Any trust I give him, he would have to earn it.”Jamie said all of these to level with Stacy in her decisions, making his respectable but understandably cautious stance super clear. In truth, he knew that Edward could never earn his trust.From his deductions through everything he's gathered, Edward certainly isn't a good person. In fact, whatever secret society Benard, Nath

Stacy took a deep breath. “What about Nathan and Jonathan? Did they know?”Jamie nodded his head. “Of course, they do. They were in on most of the plans.”Stacy gazed up at Jamie with a brief sharpness. “And how are you so sure about all of these? How did you even get your hands on this footage spanning almost two decades?”This was a valid question that Jamie was prepared to answer without ratting himself out. “The Ashford subordinate backing me, Ethan Lincoln.”“I've always wanted my mother's name cleared publicly. Benard had made her countless ridicules a public spectacle through their marriage. You know this.”Stacy's gaze dulled at the truth she knew in those words. “Oh, so you asked the Ashford subordinate to help you retrieve that footage, huh?”Jamie nodded his head. “This was before the truth we know now. Back then, I only wanted to compile evidence of the many of the countless injustices my mom faced at that mansion while she was alive.”“It was recently that a compiled foo
