CHAPTER 271
The woman was not facing him.Ryan saw the back of her head. Nothing more.Yet, he knew straight away that it was her.His wife.The woman whom he had loved and wed.The one who had seen the ups and downs with him.The one who knew him more than anyone else.Ryan walked slowly and approached her.When she saw something moving at the corner of her sight, Sandra turned her head and saw him.She froze.He went before her, got down on his knees and lowered his head.Sandra’s jaw tightened.Now, both of them fully understood why Cecilia bought this home and brought them back.Meanwhile, Rob was about to enter the house.But Cecilia stopped him.“Don’t go in yet,” she said. “You’ll ruin things.”“Huh? I don’t get what you said, Miss,” Rob looked at her.“Just wait here for a little bit,” Cecilia said. “Then you’ll know.”“Okay.” He shifted his focus onto the Porsche. “Can I go for a test drive?”Cecilia tossed the keys to him.“Thank you,” Rob quickly drove away at full acceleration.“He wo
CHAPTER 272
After Rob returned, Cecilia told him to book a room for Ryan to stay at a hotel.He asked why Ryan needed to stay at the hotel when he could stay at the villa.Cecilia had to give him a brief explanation so that he’d not ask anymore questions and would also take better care of Ryan.“Stay with Uncle until Kevin returns,” Cecilia said.Rob didn’t say no.Rob and Ryan left in a taxi.Cecilia took a deep breath and then entered the hall.She went and sat next to her mother-in-law and watched the television.Neither of them said a word.After seven minutes, Sandra finally opened her mouth. “You might not get it now, but you’ll thank me later for sending Ryan out.”Cecilia slowly turned her head. “If you made that decision rationally, then it’s one thing. But if you did it because you couldn’t forgive him, then… there’s nothing much I can say.”“Ryan is not the same as when I married him,” she said. “He’s become a thornbush. It’s become his nature to prick those around him.”Cecilia remain
CHAPTER 273
“Now that Kevin is proven innocent, this Jordan Wang shamelessly returned,” Cecilia was hissing before they even reached the company. “I’m going to make him look like a buffoon in front of his friends. It’s time for revenge.”“Don’t talk so haughtily,” Emma calmly said. “I didn’t come rushing to pick you up so you can curse Jordan.”“Hmph, he’s a cunning fox. And I will put him in his place. What’s wrong with that?”“Calm down and think about it, Cecilia. He’s a businessman, not Kevin’s friend,” Emma said. “Isn’t it only natural for him to cut ties with Kevin after he was charged with murder?”“I understand that, but Jordan didn’t stop there. He sent people to buy the designs. Instead of coming to us himself, he sent some others. He thought I wouldn’t know,” Cecilia hissed. “How can I not hate such a cunning, dishonest businessman?”Emma took a deep breath.She wanted to enjoy the drive, but her friend wasn’t making it any easier for her.“Jordan said he’d buy the designs for six mill
CHAPTER 274
Jordan’s friends were extremely furious at Cecilia for talking rudely with him.“You are showing off because Jordan came here to form a partnership,” one of them blurted. “But you’re going to regret treating him like this. If he wants he can easily sway all those investors you’re so fixed on.”Cecilia frowned for a second, then said, “If those investors listen to someone like Jordan, then it means they’re not worth partnering with.”“What? You’ve gone crazy. You think you can do business in this city after insulting so many of us?”“My company’s profits are not decided by you guys,” Cecilia retorted. “They’re decided by the customers. If they like our products, they will keep the company going. So, it’s only the customers that I trust, not you fools who change your tune with the wind.”Even Emma felt like Cecilia was going a bit far with the choice of her words. Then again, she could understand why Cecilia was on the edge. She lost her grandmother recently and has been going through a
CHAPTER 275
Later that evening.Dabby and Rory were sitting on the rooftop of their homes, pouring wine for one another.Neither of them looked really happy.“How the hell does Kevin know the president?” Rory said. “I called everybody I know, but none of them gave me satisfactory answers.”“Why? Are you regretting being on his bad side?” Dabby asked.“Heh, of course, not. Kevin didn’t drown like we expected, but I don’t regret leaving Jack’s side, either. Debby is our golden goose.”“That’s what I thought, but she’s been acting a bit strange.”“Strange?”“Yeah. This morning I met her. She was talking about Kevin nonstop, saying that she believed in him.”“Ah,” Rory smiled. “It seems she’s interested in Kevin.”“It looked more than just ‘interest’ to me. Why is this bastard Kevin so lucky? First, he married our sister who took care of him for the past three years,” Dabby said. “Now, Debby seems to want him. This could create a big friction between Debby and our sister. Who will you stand beside?”
CHAPTER 276
At Jack’s penthouse.Jack was talking with a couple of congressmen. “This won’t repeat, so please help me this time.”“We’re already doing our best to pull you out of the soup,” one of them said. “But you should cut off the source of these problems, if you know what I mean. These days, it’s been one shock after another. Starting with the toothpaste company, then the biotech company, and now even the children’s cream biscuits are brought into limelight for all the wrong reasons.”“It’s not like I’m the only one doing it,” Jack said. “I’m just following the industry standards.”“But the public cares only about the things they can see. You will become the scapegoat for your competitors if you don’t remove the one who’s been troubling you lately. Whether it is Kevin Kingsley or someone else, just get rid of him fast.”Jack was a bit surprised. “How did you know it was Kevin? I never told you guys.”The congressmen looked at each other and smiled. “We have our eyes and ears everywhere.”Ja
CHAPTER 277
The previous night.Everywhere, the announcement of Kevin being freed from all criminal charges was widely circulating.In a motel along the highway.The motel owner was smoking and watching the news. “Did he become the president’s side bitch or what? Otherwise, there’s no explanation why every channel is talking about him.”Just then, one customer entered the building.The motel owner was stunned because it was Kevin.He couldn’t move.“I heard what you said,” Kevin was not smiling. “But let me ask you one thing. Did you have similar doubts when the news channels repeatedly put blame after blame on me these past few days?”The motel owner swallowed. “I’m sorry.”“Show me the register.”“Register? Why? A-Are you here to kill someone?”“Not quite,” Kevin said. “It depends on them.”The motel owner showed him the guest register book but said, “Not everybody enters their real names here. Some of them come with fake IDs.”“And you still take them in despite knowing that?”“I have to run t
CHAPTER 278
Kevin stepped out of the car.There were a few military officers sitting on both sides of the grand entrance into the tunnels.Right now, there were no vehicles going in or coming out.The common public was also not stopping nearby.Other than the military personnel, only Kevin was around.He walked straight toward the entrance.The officers saw Kevin and stood. They did not recognize him because they were not watching the news.“Excuse me,” Kevin said. “Can you tell me where this route leads?” He pointed at the tunnels.“Don’t you see those boards?” the officers pointed at the boards planted on the ground on either side of the road. “This place is restricted to the public.”“Huh? Wasn’t this built with the taxes paid by the public?” Kevin asked. “So how can the public not have access? Does that make any sense?”“Don’t waste our time and get lost,” one of the officers pushed him back.“Whoa, your salaries get paid by the taxes people like me pay,” Kevin said. “So why are you showing s
CHAPTER 279
Kevin could have driven his car, but he chose to explore on foot.At first, the tunnels were just big.But after going a mile deep, the size of the tunnels grew multiple times. The pillars were the size of average rooms.The ceiling was easily a hundred feet high.The trucks themselves looked like toys in comparison.It wasn’t just a straight path.There were junctions, with roads going in different directions.“Damn… It doesn’t look like it just leads to one spot. Just how wide and far do these tunnels go? How long would it take to build something this big? A lot of taxpayers money must have been used for building this. Why would they build something this big, though?”Kevin stood at the edge of a junction and waited.He saw a truck coming in his direction.He went and stood in its path.The driver saw Kevin but didn’t stop. Instead, he increase the speed.Kevin frowned.However, he didn’t move out of the way.He clenched his fist and punched the truck, not just stopping it, but dest

Dozens of bullets flew at Kevin from multiple directions.Kevin tossed the passbook and rushed forth.His first target was the guy sitting at the checkpost, with wireless transmitters on his desk.In the blink of an eye, Kevin was standing on top of the table, staring down at the officer.The officer looked up at Kevin, swallowed his breath, and said, “Y-You’re one of the Supers?!”“Do they call supernatural people as Supers?” Kevin asked.All the other guards turned toward Kevin, but they did not shoot at him, as they did not want to hurt their captain.“I don’t want to unnecessarily kill people," Kevin said. “So tell me… Is the sin city behind those metal doors?”The captain nodded.“What happens in that city?” Kevin asked. “Tell me everything you know.”“E-Everything you can imagine and more,” the captain replied, his face covered in sweat.“Do they bring kidnapped women and children here?” Kevin asked in a stern gaze.The captain hesitantly nodded.“I see.” Kevin turned around and
