After failing to persuade Arthur to beg Vinn, the old man, not wanting to involve himself further, had left.Unlike everyone, he found it painful to watch Arthur being beaten, but who would have imagined he would run back crazily with a cane in hand, hitting Brad?The old man had already covered a good distance when he overheard the conversation of two people rushing past him towards the shop, laughing about how a young security guard had gone to help Arthur and angering Vinn in the process. Just listening to them, the old man felt his heart skip a beat, a bad premonition creeping in.His son recently got a job as a security worker for the store, and knowing how similar his son was to him, he made haste towards the store just in time to see his son standing in the crossfire, and two burly men ready to attack.A punch from those men could send his son to the hospital or worse, dead!His heart tightened at the thought.Wi

Gasps rippled through the crowd as the men in black fanned out, instilling fear with each coordinated step they took.Their boots struck the pavement in unison, the insignia on their shoulders gleaming faintly—a silver falcon mid-flight—a symbol that commanded recognition and fear.“What is the silver falcon doing here?”“Quick, get back! I think that young man might really be a young master!”The crowd murmured in fear, backing further away as the men in black rushed past them toward Arthur.They quickly formed a tight ring around him, heavy guns aimed at the crowd with precise determination, ready to take down anyone they deemed a threat.The sight was suffocating.Each man wore an earpiece, their expression hidden behind the dark visor covering their face.“You there!” The leader of the unit pointed at Joyce, his voice clipped. “Don’t you know how to act around the young master? Show respect to your young master!”Their words rang loud and bold, addressing all the employees, who ne

Meanwhile, in the bustling city, chaos erupted inside Green Haven Hospital — one of the most prestigious private hospitals in the country.“Who the hell did this to my son?!” Hugo Parker thundered, his voice reverberating through the ward as he glared at the unconscious figure on the bed.Vinn lay swathed in bandages, his once proud face pale and bruised under the harsh white lights.Since becoming patriarch of the Parker family, Hugo had never experienced humiliation like this.In all of Sky City, who didn’t know the name Parker? Who would dare lay a hand on his blood?Someone had, and they would pay dearly for it.His gaze swept across the room — past the trembling nurses and pale-faced doctors huddled in a corner — before locking onto the two bodyguards standing stiffly by the door.“What happened?” he asked, his voice dropping into a deadly calm.The guards exchanged a wary glance before one spoke up, his voice quivering. “Young Master Vinn and Miss Claudia had just finished shopp

Arthur stared at the message glowing on his phone screen, disbelief knitting his brows. “Come to Salvador’s Clinic. Now.” Salvador’s Clinic — the same place where Madam Ayun had taken her last breath. Does this have something to do with Mom? Is that why Rachel’s calling me? he wondered, but quickly dismissed the thought. If something were wrong, Mason would’ve said something. Still, as he looked at the message, a strange pull tightened his chest. Even though Rachel had humiliated him, he couldn’t deny that he had once cared for her. But that was the past. They were divorced now, and she had clearly moved on. He had no intention of getting tangled in her web again. With a tired sigh, Arthur tossed his phone onto the bed and leaned back. Today had been exhausting enough; he needed rest. His mother’s funeral was in three days. That alone was more than he could bear. --- Meanwhile, at the top floor of Salvador’s Clinic, chaos was brewing. Rachel paced the sterile hallway,

Jessica Harris stood nimbly in the hallway with her head lowered, her eyes stinging due to unshed tears as Harold’s words cut through her, but she refused to let them fall.Her silence added fuel to the fire that already raged through Racheal's heart. “Well, what are you waiting for?! Father said, "Leave!” Racheal yelled annoyance flashing in her eyes.Seeing Jessica's pitiful but firm stance reminded Racheal of all those times when they were still kids. Her attitude toward things that made their grandfather like her also made Racheal hate Jessica even more.“Are you deaf all of a sudden?” Linda pressed, standing in front of Jessica, hands on her waist.She jutted her chest out, looking like an old hen ready to hit Jessica.Harlod took a look around, noticing how packed the hallways now looked with a grim face.He turned to warn Linda only for him to see her almost hitting Jessica.Seeing as the scene was about to escalate, Harlod snapped, narrowing his eyes. “ Enough! Let's not make
