When Zeeva hurried away, the woman accidentally left her wallet and her phone near Zane.Zane rushed to pick them up and ran after Zeeva, but the woman hurried into a taxi because she thought Zane was trying to coax her, to persuade her, to flirt with her.“Tsk!” Zane muttered softly. He stared at the two items with a puzzled look. He was still annoyed at Zeeva, still irritated with her, but he could not bring himself to see the woman fumbling and searching for her things in confusion. Especially since there were ATM cards, cash, and other important items inside.Should he return them to Zeeva’s house? Zane still remembered Liana, Zeeva’s mother, who had been more approving of Zeeva marrying Danzel than she had been of him, even though he had willingly donated his kidney.Zane took a step away, ready to leave, but a photograph slipped from inside the wallet. He immediately picked it up and looked at it carefully, closely.It was a photo of Zane and Zeeva smiling happily at the camera,

“All of this is your fault! If you hadn’t met that bastard, we wouldn’t have been kicked out!” Alfredo snapped.Zeeva and her family were forced to return to their modest house.Liana sat listlessly on the sofa, sobbing. She couldn’t bear to leave their life of luxury.“I didn’t mean to meet Zane. He helped me when I was almost raped by my manager!” Zeeva protested.“Nonsense! I know you still love him!” Alfredo spat.“How could you be so stupid, Zeeva?” Martin objected, wincing as he pressed a cloth to the bruises all over his face. “Danzel already gave us a luxurious life, whereas Zane… he only donated his kidney to mommy! He’s not comparable to Danzel!”“How dare you say ‘only’.” Zeeva’s anger flared.“Is what I said wrong?” Martin challenged.“I don’t want to hear it! You must apologize to Danzel, no matter what! I refuse to live in poverty again!”“I won’t,” Zeeva said firmly. “I will work to support you!”“How dare you defy me! What company would hire you as an employee? Have yo

“You look very excited.”Aaron smiled. “Of course. I’ve been waiting for this chance for a long time.”Leonard patted his stepbrother’s shoulder. “That’s the spirit I need from you.” He handed him a black card.“You can use this to attract Lily. Remember, Zane is not an ordinary man. He knows how to win a woman’s heart, even though he’s poor. I’ve investigated about him, and he once got close to Abigail Gonzalez, even my ex-fiancée, Avery, just to lick their boots. So, you must not lose to him.”Aaron’s expression turned gloomy. “I’m different. I can give Lily wealth and true love. Something Zane will never have.”“Good.” Leonard smirked wickedly. “Then your first step is to make Lily believe that Zane is dangerous.”***Zane drove the white BMW belonging to the Fade family toward Lily’s mansion. He was allowed to use the car to pick Lily up and drop her off.Suddenly, a transparent screen appeared in front of Zane.[New mission has appeared: Sabotage Aaron’s plan to approach Lily][R
Chapter 64
Zane, Lily, and Aaron went to a mall, which happened to be hosting an antique exhibition—jewelry, vases, and other items.“Wow!” Lily’s eyes sparkled when she saw a necklace with a shimmering green jade gemstone displayed in a clear case.“Do you want it, Lily?” Aaron offered“No. That necklace is very expensive. Just look at the price ... it’s up to 65 million dollars.”Aaron froze when he saw the price tag near the necklace. 65 million dollars? What kind of madman would buy that, even if he were filthy rich?!Leonard would kill him if he squandered 65 million dollars just for Lily.Even though Aaron was his father’s mistress’s son, he was never allowed to spend more than $10,000 a month.He swallowed hard. Whoever bought that necklace had to be extremely wealthy.Zane would buy it as Lily’s birthday present later.“Aren’t you very rich? Besides, you already promised to buy Lily anything she wanted,” Zane teased.“Zane, watch your mouth. I was joking when I said that,” Lily complaine

Aaron immediately called Leonard and told him what had happened to Lily.“Damn it! What have you done? Jennifer will kill us if she finds out you’re the reason Lily was kidnapped!” Leonard snapped over the phone.“Forgive me,” Aaron answered, terrified.“You’re completely useless! Grandpa shouldn’t have taken you from the orphanage! If Jennifer cancels our partnership, I will kill you!” Leonard cursed.“Get Lily back before Jennifer finds out your sister was kidnapped!”“But the kidnapper is demanding a $100 million ransom,” Aaron explained, shaking with fear. “Do we have to pay it?”“One hundred million dollars?” Leonard was stunned. “No! You can’t use Hale family money for that much!”“So, what should we do?”“Figure it out yourself!”The call was immediately cut off.Aaron’s hands trembled. What should he do? He didn’t have that kind of money in his savings.His fists clenched tightly. He was sick of being bullied by Leonard. After all, Leonard was the one who ordered him around, b

“This is the Celeste penthouse owner’s access card.”Mila was stunned. Had she heard correctly? How could Zane own the Celeste penthouse? The thought alone made her pulse quicken, her eyes widening as if she could see the impossibility hanging in the air.Zane cleared his throat, trying to calm his pounding heart. Mila was a friend of his sister, Luna. The system would collapse if Mila revealed the VIP access card to Luna or anyone else.“It’s not mine. It belongs to my boss,” Zane replied coldly, masking his tension.“So… you’re Christopher’s subordinate?” Mila guessed, her eyes wide. No wonder Luna knew Mr. Christopher.Zane felt a little relieved. That was much better than Mila assuming he was Christopher.“That’s right. I’m his driver.”“That means you know who he is?”Zane paused. “Yes. But I swore never to reveal my boss’s identity, so don’t expect to persuade me.”Mila curled her lip. “I’m not interested in Christopher anymore. He’s bankrupt. He’s just a show-off. Even Niel Cor

Zane lifted his chin, his eyes blazing with murderous resolve, waiting for Albert’s men to come at him.The first of Albert’s men lunged forward, his fist as heavy as a hammer, aiming straight for Zane’s head. But Zane only tilted his head slightly to dodge the strike, then drove his fist into the man’s gut, forcing him to collapse at Zane’s feet with a scream of agony.The man tried to rise again and attack, but Zane easily caught his punch, then rammed his knee into the man’s stomach, making him vomit blood.Lily’s breath hitched as she watched Zane fight against opponents who were clearly no match for him. Her eyes followed his every movement in panic and awe. At first, she thought Zane would lose, since his opponent was a trained fighter.“Damn!” The remaining thug tried to jump in, but he too went crashing to the floor after just a single blow.Zane stood tall among Albert’s two prized men, both sprawled unconscious. He didn’t need to beat them to a pulp; they were already out co

“Lily!” Jennifer ran forward and hugged her cousin so tightly the moment she came home with Zane. Her eyes welled up. “I never thought I’d get to see you again!”Around them, Gerald and his men had already filled the Fade mansion. Including Leonard and his aides.Lily cried on Jennifer’s shoulder. “I was so scared I’d never see you and Grandpa again. But luckily, there was Zane. He managed to defeat the kidnappers and save me.”Jennifer released her hug and shot Zane a sharp, cold look. “You don’t need to thank him, because he’s the reason you were kidnapped in the first place.”Jennifer glared at Zane. “From now on, stay away from my sister! You’re fired!”“But—”“Shut up!” Jennifer snapped when Lily tried to speak.“Jennifer’s decision is correct, Miss Lily. She’s doing it to protect you,” Leonard said softly. “You should stay away from Zane, since he already failed to protect you.”Lily glared at Leonard. “You don’t know anything, so don’t interfere!”“Lily! Watch your mouth! Leona
Chapter 69
“Girlfriend?” Zane suddenly remembered Zeeva. The woman was supposed to meet Skylar today to sign the cooperation contract. His heart beat faster, as if something urgent was pressing on him.“Sorry, I have to leave, something urgent came up.” His voice sounded firm, but his eyes held uneasiness.Lily turned to him with a disappointed look, her lips trembling slightly. “What business?” she asked softly, a bitter tone she could not hide. Inside her heart, a sting of pain appeared—was Zane going to meet his lover?Zane forced a smile, though it was thin and empty. “I have to escort someone.”“Who?” Lily looked at him, her eyes begging for an answer.But Zane’s tongue felt heavy. He could not answer directly, only stood silent for a few seconds.Charlie, who noticed the situation, patted Zane’s shoulder gently. “Be careful on the road, son,” he said kindly. He knew Zane was struggling to be honest.Zane only gave a short nod, then quickly stepped out. His breath was long, as if trying to
Chapter 70
Zeeva and Alfredo were shocked when they heard that Skylar canceled the contract with Zeeva just because of Zane, even though Zane was only working as a driver.Why was Skylar defending him so much?“Miss, wait.” Zeeva quickly ran after Skylar, who was about to get into the car.“What is it?” Skylar replied curtly. “Didn’t you hear my decision just now?”“Please forgive my father. He didn’t mean to offend you or Zane,” Zeeva explained with a frightened expression.“Never!” Skylar snapped. “Your father has gone way too far. I hate someone who always looks down on others! Including you!”“Me?” Zeeva’s voice trembled.“Why did you leave Zane just for that bastard Danzel? Is it because he’s poor?!”Zeeva was stunned. How did Skylar know about her and Zane’s problem? She turned to Zane in shock. Had the man told her everything?Zeeva didn’t expect their relationship was this close, more than just boss and subordinate.“That’s not it, Miss. But…” Zeeva was at a loss for words, because she c
