"That's bullshit." Hallberg obviously did not believe a word. "Mikaela would always discuss matters with you no matter how insignificant they are. How could you not know anything about such a huge incident? I know you despise Asher, Radley. You despise the Stewards and want the Sullivans to deal with them. But you have to remember that we, the Leonards, cannot stick our heads out. We still have Garrett on our side. Have him deal with Asher instead."Radley nodded. "I understand, Grandpa.""Go and tell Mikaela to stay under the radar. If she causes any more trouble, she can see herself out of this household and go to her useless father!" Hallberg snorted with great indignation and left with a flick of his sleeve.Radley heaved a sigh of relief as he wiped the sweat off his forehead and went to seek Mikaela out. He did not mention a thing about Harley's indictment, but gave her two contraceptive pills to prevent pregnancy.Rollinsford was located at the border of t

"The master wants to take it slow with you, but I can't afford to keep you around any longer, Asher Crawford. Your hour of death has come." Rodrick was dressed in a gray suit with his hair cropped short. He looked spry.Rodrick would usually not have gone against Garrett's wishes, but after learning that his master had raped Mikaela Leonard, he was more than a little unsettled.Two years ago, the eldest master Sam Schmidt and Asher had gone toe to toe. Almost everyone was optimistic that Sam would triumph, but who would have thought that Asher's insignificant plot would put Sam in a wheelchair for the rest of his life.Everyone had assumed that it was Sam who underestimated his opponent which led to such a big mistake. Rodrick, however, discovered that it was not Sam who underestimated his enemy at all. It was Asher who stayed concealed. He had deliberately pretended to be arrogant and a bully. All of that was to give his opponents the illusion that he was contemptibl

Garrett chuckled. "There's no need for you to deny it when that is exactly what you think. I believe I made myself clear, Rodrick. I came to Rollinsford for two reasons. Getting rid of Asher Crawford is one of them. And the other is to seize control over Rollinsford so that the households here would be of use to me. I hope this is the last time this happens. Do not mess with my plans again."He hung up the phone without waiting to hear Rodrick's reply.He did not look pleased as he lit a cigarette and took a drag. Garrett did not expect for Rodrick to have no confidence in him as he huffed coldly, "Everyone who fucks with my plans is my enemy!"Ding dong!That was when the doorbell rang."There's someone here to see you, sir." A subordinate's voice rang out. "He says that he's a Steward."A Steward?Garrett could not help but frown. Why would a Steward be seeking him out?He was too ashamed to remain with the Leonards after he had sexually ass

Noelle was long gone by the time Asher and Dove left the boutique. Dove was smug as she said, "Is she jealous? I was just playing with her. She actually got angry?""Everything is fine. She isn't jealous. You're thinking too much into this, Ms. Yaeger. I suddenly remember that I have some matters I have to attend to. I won't be accompanying you home." Asher hurried down without waiting for Dove's reply.Dove's lips curved up as she watched Asher leave in a hurry. She muttered, "Can you beat me, Noelle?"Asher came out of the mall just in time to see Noelle's car speeding away. He could not help but smile bitterly as he shook his head. To think she was getting jealous. Haha.Asher had no choice but to hail a taxi back. Noelle's car was parked in the driveway, which meant that she did not return to the Steward residence.Fact of the matter was, Noelle wanted to return to the Steward residence. She was irked by Asher. It had never come to her attention how lech

Winston could not help but take a peek. All that entered his gaze was fair and tender flesh. He gulped down a grunt. His stomach felt as though it was on fire as his heart itched with need. He wanted nothing more than to jump her.He approached her tentatively after a brief pause and sat down beside Callista. He took a great whiff of her perfume. "What perfume do you use? It smells really good.""Fuck off." Callista could see the lust in his eyes and gave him a dirty look in a coquettish manner. "You're fucked if Master Mateo catches wind of this."When he noticed Callista playing hard to get, he smiled and said, "If Master Mateo finds out about our relationship, will he flay me alive?"Callista blushed. "Shut up. How could that have happened if you hadn't deliberately gotten me drunk that night. But seriously, Master Mateo must not find out about this. You might not be scared of him but I am.""Does the little whore want it?" Winston asked with a wicked smi
