Chapter 81: An unwanted guest
The suite the manager led Alistair and Elizabeth to was nothing short of incredible, sporting designs and furniture that could be said to be reserved for nobility. A few waitresses were already standing by, and the table, situated between two semicircular couches, was filled with a variety of delicacies, both local and Continental.Clearly, Elizabeth and in extension, the manager, had gone all out in their preparations. “Miss Bolton, is everything to your liking?” The Del Monte manager, who went by the name, Ron, asked.Elizabeth didn't respond immediately, though; instead, she shifted her attention to Alistair.“Mister Reid, what do you think?” Elizabeth asked.Ron could barely hide his confusion.Who was this man and why was Elizabeth Bolton acting so deferential towards him?No family in Haven could boast of having the same level of wealth and influence as the Boltons, so there was no need for them to bow their heads to anyone.Yet, here was Elizabeth doing exactly that with this
Chapter 82: Dustin Cage
Elizabeth glanced at the door just in time to watch as Dustin Cage walked in, accompanied by the man who had spotted Elizabeth at the hotel, along with four burly thugs. Dustin was the typical spoiled brat from a rich and influential family. With a head full of blonde hair, he was decked out in luxury items and screamed of debaucherous arrogance. He was wearing a pair of sunglasses,s but upon seeing Elizabeth, he immediately took them off, muttering in disbelief. “It really is you.” “Are you out of your mind, Dustin? How dare you barge in here like this?” Elizabeth lashed out almost instinctively, barely able to contain her anger. She was already displeased that he had managed to find her, yet he dared to barge in without her consent; just how was she supposed to stay calm? “Oh come on, Beth, don't be like that. The moment I heard you had recovered, I rushed over immediately. I've wanted to see you for so long, how could I possibly let anything or anyone stand in the
Chapter 83: A foul, classless fellow
“Go ahead and call them,” Dustin said.At the same time, his bodyguards stepped forward, clearly prepared to attack once Dustin gave the word. “You…” Elizabeth froze, realizing that she was being threatened.To have some privacy with Alistair, she'd only brought a single guard with her to the VIP suite, leaving the rest to wait in the parking lot. Now, she was all alone and defenseless, leaving her at the mercy of a man like Dustin. Seeing her fear, Dustin grinned like a devil. “Look here, let's not complicate things, alright? Let's forget about everything that's happened and sit together.” As he spoke, he reached out to grab Elizabeth's arm only for Alistair to step in and grab his arm.“That's enough.” Alistair calmly remarked.Dustin glared at him. “Who the hell do you think you are interfering in my affairs?”“She asked you to leave. I suggest you do so.” “Courting death!” Dustin bellowed, attempting to use his other hand and strike Alistair only for the latter to easily dodg
Chapter 84: Unworthy
Infuriated, Dustin flared up. “You bastard, how dare you speak to me like that? Do you know who I am? You think I won't dare to kill you just because Elizabeth is here!?” “As I said, a dog. Not only do you think like one, but you also talk like one as well.” Alistair said. Elizabeth panicked, well aware that Dustin was impulsive and would surely try to harm Alistair. “Mister Reid, please don't be rash.” She worriedly remarked. The last thing she wanted was to watch Alistair get hurt all because of her. She would never be able to live it down. Alistair shrugged. “I'm only speaking the truth.” Dustin's rage boiled over as he remarked. “ Listen here, you fool. I'll give you only one chance to leave this place alive. Get on your knees, apologize and beg me for mercy, otherwise, I swear I'll turn you into a vegetable and make you eat piss and shit till you die!” Alistair snorted. “Want me to kneel and beg you? Are you worthy?” “Mister Reid…” Elizabeth trailed off, re
Chapter 85: Seeking to be a disciple
Dustin’s mouth hung open.He looked at Elizabeth and then at Alistair, unsure of how to respond. His heart burned with rage, after all, when was the last time he was humiliated in such a manner?But he didn't dare to speak up, well aware that he could not possibly defend himself if Alistair attacked. “Leave,” Alistair coldly said.Gritting his teeth, Dustin could only swallow his pride and flee. He scrambled out the door, his "friend" who had tipped him off following closely behind like a frightened shadow.Once the room was quiet—save for the groans of the recovering bodyguards—Ron, the manager, appeared at the doorway.He looked at the chaos, then at Elizabeth, and finally at Alistair.He'd received word of Dustin in the premises but hadn't thought much of it until he saw the chaos happening in the lounge via the cameras he'd installed. Initially, he planned to stay out of it, but watching Alistair destroy Dustin's bodyguards had caused him to think otherwise. “Miss Bolton... I
Chapter 86: A desire for revenge
Elizabeth's voice cracked as she spoke, revealing her heartfelt emotions. “But you came into the picture and everything changed. I was able to get my life back when everyone else said that I was destined for death. So, after I recovered, I made a vow to myself that I would become your disciple and learn your medical way, so that just as you gave me hope and life, I would be able to give it to someone else as well.“So, Mister Reid, please, allow me to be selfish and accept me as your disciple.” Alistair was rendered speechless by Elizabeth's sincerity. She was truly a good person, with a desire to make the world a better place. Most other heiresses wouldn't care about anything but their beauty and luxury items.But Elizabeth saw through all that and sought to make an impact on the world. Even if he wanted to reject her, he couldn't after hearing this. Letting out a sigh, Alistair massaged his temples.From the moment he picked up Caleb Bolton’s call the other day, it seemed that
Chapter 87: Nothing short of poison
Dustin's friend trembled upon hearing this. There was no way he didn't know who Cutthroat was. He was one of the most dangerous assassins in the criminal underworld. He could only pity the man who was with Elizabeth. If only he knew what Dustin had in store for him, he would have never dared to humiliate Dustin the way he did.Meanwhile, once Dustin was done with the call with Cutthroat, he didn't relax just yet.Instead, he dialed another number. Not too long after, it connected.“Hello, Mrs. Bolton.” Dustin immediately said. His friend froze, realizing he had actually called Elizabeth's mother.What exactly was Dustin planning?He didn't dare to ask though.After Dustin was done speaking with Elizabeth's mother, he gestured for the driver to leave the area, a smug smile on his lips. “We'll see who's going to laugh last once this is all over, Elizabeth.” Dustin coldly remarked. Meanwhile, over at Connor Group, Stacy was currently in the laboratory running tests on Tristan's c
Chapter 88: Heading to Connor Group
Since Alistair had accepted her as his disciple, Elizabeth had taken to calling him master instead of Mister, adding a new layer of respect to the man who saved her life. “Yes, everything is fine. You can go ahead, I have somewhere to be.”“Oh, alright then,” Elizabeth replied. Though disappointed, she knew she couldn't keep on following Alistair around, even though she wanted to. “Perhaps I could drop you off!” Elizabeth offered.“That won't be necessary.” Alistair simply said. “Alright then.” With that, Alistair took his leave with Elizabeth making her way to where her bodyguards were waiting for her. However, just as she got to her car, she got a call from her mother. Elizabeth frowned as she pulled her phone from her designer handbag.It was oddly suspicious that she would call just after she finished her meeting with Alistair.Pursing her lips, she picked. “Hey mom.”"Elizabeth Bolton!" Her mother’s voice was shrill. "I just had the most distressing conversation with Dusti
Chapter 89: 'Sabotage'
“What are you doing here?” Sara asked as she walked over to help Tristan stand. He was using a crutch and he'd wrapped his left leg and arm with a white cast, causing him to look quite pitiful, further exacerbating Sara's worry for him. “Just came to check on you,” Tristan said warmly. “You shouldn't have, you should be in bed resting.”Tristan shook his head, feigning self-righteousness. “How can I do that when I know you are at the office working your ass off for my sake?”“It's not like you haven't already done your part,” Sara said. “Still, I'd like to be a part of it. Even if I can't help with the work, I can at least watch. Think of it as emotional support.” Tristan joked. Sara chuckled. “You are really stubborn.”“Does that mean I can stay?” Tristan asked. “Of course.”“So how's production going?” Tristan asked.Truth be told, this was the main reason he'd bothered coming to Connor Group.He couldn't risk Sara running tests on the cancer cure and discovering the truth beh
Chapter 90: Fired
Sara, foolish as she was, had no idea she'd fallen for Tristan's carefully constructed trap as she took out her cellphone and dialed Stacy's number. “Hello, ma'am.” Stacy immediately answered once the call connected.“Come to the company reception now. I need to speak to you.” Sara coldly said before ending the call. Five minutes later, Stacy arrived at the reception, wearing a lab coat. Upon seeing Tristan, her expression darkened considerably, after all, he was the one who gave Sara poison masquerading as a cancer cure. If she could, she would immediately call the police and have the bastard arrested. “Miss Connor, you called for me?” She said respectfully. Sara coldly asked. “Has production on the cancer cure formula I gave you begun?” “Miss, about that…”Before Stacy could even complete her statement, Sara struck her hard across the cheek, causing her to stagger. In an instant, a deafening silence fell on the reception. Everyone present could hardly believe what had just
