Hudson advised gently from the side, "Elena, Cyrus is a reliable man. Why don't we—"Elena cut him off sharply, "Shut up if you don't have anything better to do!"Hudson sighed helplessly and decided to remain silent.Meanwhile, Josephine tightly grasped Cyrus's hand, her voice firm yet soft. "Cyrus, no matter what my mom says, I'll never leave you."Cyrus gazed at her with deep emotion and replied, "Josephine, I promise I won't let you down."Elena watched Cyrus and Josephine with increasing displeasure. She silently resolved to put her plan into action as soon as possible.Suddenly, a loud growl broke the tension. Josephine's stomach betrayed her, and her face flushed red with embarrassment. She wished she could vanish on the spot."Feeling hungry, huh?" Cyrus looked at Josephine with a tender smile, his voice full of concern and affection.Without waiting for a response, he clapped his hands lightly. Almost instantly, a group of impec

Elena slipped an aphrodisiac into Josephine's cup when Josephine wasn't looking."Here, have some water, Josephine." Elena offered the cup."Mom!" Josephine stomped her foot in frustration. It was obvious with the water in the cup fizzing away."Josephine, either you sleep with Mr. Anderson today, or I'll kill myself right here!" Elena declared desperately, pressing a pair of scissors against her own neck.Elena's face contorted with a manic determination, her knuckles bloodless around the scissors' handle as the blade pressed against her skin. Her eyes blazed with an unhinged intensity as if she'd completely lost her grip on reality."Mom, stop! Put the scissors down!" Josephine cried out, her face draining of color at her mother's shocking behavior."Come on, babe!" Benjamin lunged like a predator, his overwhelming strength leaving Josephine helpless as he pinned her to the bed.A grotesque, lustful smile spread across Benjamin's face, sending sh

"What's your relationship with the Parker family? Why are you doing this to me?" Sarah's hoarse voice echoed as she shouted at the masked Cyrus with her remaining strength, her words dripping with rage and bitterness.Cyrus remained motionless, his eyes behind the mask as cold as ice."Sarah, did you ever imagine ending up like this when you destroyed the Parker family?" Cyrus spoke in a low, controlled voice that seemed to rise from the depths of hell, laden with boundless hatred and sorrow.At these words, Sarah's body shook violently. She looked up, her eyes swimming with terror and desperation. "I... I made a grave mistake. Please, let me go."Cyrus let out a harsh laugh. "Let you go? When the Parker family members were being slaughtered, did you show them mercy? Your crimes can never be forgiven!"Sarah crumpled to the ground, breaking into uncontrollable sobs. "I was just following orders. I... I had no other choice."'Following orders? So, is the

Aaron and his family stood anxiously at the doorway, their hearts pounding as each car passed by.Aaron kept wringing his hands, his eyes glued to the road, muttering under his breath, "What's taking them so long?""Dad, relax. They'll be here any minute," William said, trying to calm him down.Right at that moment, a sleek limousine glided up to the entrance, catching everyone's attention.The door swung open, and Robert stepped out with practiced grace.Aaron rushed forward with a broad smile, "Mr. Rothschild, what an honor! The Thompson family is truly blessed by your presence!"Robert gave a slight nod. "Thanks, Mr. Thompson."They led Robert into the Thompson family's magnificent manor, where an elaborate spread awaited them in the living room."Mr. Rothschild," Aaron began carefully, "having the chance to work with you is something the Thompsons have dreamed of for generations."Robert took a measured sip of coffee. "Mr. Thompson, w

"Sarah, I wanted to give you a chance, but you chose to destroy yourself. Since that's your decision, you'll experience the worst pain imaginable!" Cyrus's veins pulsed visibly on his arm as his fingers clamped around Sarah's throat like a vice. "You vicious snake, this is your last day!" Sarah's face turned crimson instantly, and though struggling for air, she managed to spit out through gritted teeth, "Go ahead! If you've got the nerve, kill me!" Cyrus let out a cold laugh, "Kill you? That would be too easy on you. I'll make you beg for death, but it won't come!" The atmosphere around them grew heavy, and everyone stood frozen, intimidated by Cyrus's overwhelming presence. A deranged smile crossed Sarah's face, her eyes wild with desperation. Her voice came out raspy and mocking, "You pathetic leftover of the Parker family, what difference does it make if you kill me? I've got everything set up already!" "What? He's from the Parker family?" the crowd murmu
