A Man Called Revenge Chapter 40: Evelyn
The next morning was nothing short of bliss for Madam Ann. Her face was all smiles. Her well-kept office was a reflection of the joy in her soul. Normally, her office was always tidy and neatly arranged, thanks to Gary and the other house maids. But today was different; of course, it had to be. There was a soft knock on her glass door. It was Gary. “Come in,” she invited softly. Gary was holding her cup of tea as usual. He would bring it to her office every morning. It was a good thing she worked from home. But also a bad thing because all those years, Gary would be subjected to forced labour. As Gary dropped her tea, he shook his head. On this very table, every single cursed day, this witch of a woman would always thank him with a slap. ‘Too hot’ ‘Too cold’ ‘You are late’. Gary chuckled inwardly as he reminisced; all those years were hell for him. Regardless, he never ran away. He was willing to do everything for his mother and for his wife. But this insane woman ordered his
A Man Called Revenge Chapter 41: Love Or Greed?
Evelyn spun around, her eyes wide, her heart dropping. “Kage—I didn’t mean—” “You didn’t mean what?” Kage shouted, his hands balled into fists, his eyes burning. “That I’m nothing? That you’d rather be with that loser Gary? I heard you, Evelyn! I heard every word!” Madam Ann stepped between them, her voice sharp, her hands raised. “Enough! Both of you, shut up, please! We don’t have time for this drama. The inauguration is in two days, and we need to be united, not fighting over some slave!” Kage ignored her, his eyes locked on Evelyn, his voice low and dangerous. “You want Gary? Fine. Go to him. But don’t come crying to me when he shows you who he really is. I’m done.” He turned and stormed out, slamming the door so hard the glass rattled. Evelyn’s hands flew to her face, her voice a sob, her body shaking. “Kage, wait!” She ran after him, but her mother stopped her. “Let him leave, Evelyn. Are you forgetting? We are now on top. He no longer qualifies to be your husband. Howard
A Man Called Revenge Chapter 42: The Inauguration
Daytime appeared to move really slowly. Everyone in the city was talking. Blog posts, Youtube Shorts, Instagram feeds. Everyone –both those invited and those who could only watch from live streams– they all talked about the big event. Ladies showed off their dresses online, gowns sparkling like they cost a fortune. Men bragged about their custom suits, their watches dripping with diamonds, their cars ready to turn heads. It was a much anticipated event. And finally the long awaited event. As dusk finally settled, the Wang Empire headquarters came alive. The building was a colossus—100 stories of glass and steel, towering over New York like a silent monarch. Gold accents shimmered under the city lights, casting a warm glow against the beautiful evening sky. At the entrance, marble pillars stood tall, framing a red carpet that spilled onto the pavement like a river of fire. Above, helicopters whirred, ferrying tycoons too important to bother with traffic. The air was thick with
A Man Called Revenge Chapter 43: Madam Ann, A Deal Breaker And Soul Crusher
“First of all, cheers to all of you for coming here. This event is currently being viewed by 400 million people around the world. But you are not streaming it. You are here because you were invited. You earned your place in those seats. By the way, I might turn lesbian because I see so many pretty women today.” The host said, and almost everyone cranked up with laughter. Some people, however, were offended by her joke, but the laughter suppressed it. No one gave a damn about how they felt. In a billionaires’ gathering, no one took anything to heart. Because it was true, wealthy men detached emotions from business. The Lancaster family sat in one row in the middle of the mighty hall filled with over 2,000 participants. Evelyn looked like a golden apple freshly plucked from the tree. Her dress was so beautiful, elegant, and revealing, stealing the eyes of those around her, including Kage. But Gary did not even look at her twice, despite sitting next to her. It was evident that he
A Man Called Revenge Chapter 44: Madam Ann, The Devil's Wife
Gary’s face darkened, his jaw tight, his hands clenched into fists. He sat still, his eyes burning with rage, his heart pounding. But he was not so surprised. He knew. He knew that this would happen. He knew the kind of person Madam Ann was, a woman who never kept her word, a woman who wrote a fake cheque just to have him divorce her daughter. Enrique stood up fast, his smirk wide, his suit sharp as he strutted to the stage. He took the mic from Madam Ann, his voice loud, his ego on full display. “Thank you, Mom! I’m honored to lead the Lancasters into this new chapter. We’ll make the Wang Empire proud!” William was fuming, furious, infuriated, and dumbfounded. How could she? He was the first son, the rightful heir to the throne, the one who was supposed to control the company. First, she lied to Gary about handing him the presidency. He never agreed to it. But his mother had other plans. “How dare she?” He whispered into Donald’s ear, who was equally confused. The crowd clapped
A Man Called Revenge Chapter 45: Teach Them A Lesson
Gary slowly got up from his seat as everyone gasped in disbelief. In an instant, all eyes in the hall locked on him, the air thick with shock, the crowd’s gasps echoing loud. Gary stood tall, his face hard, his eyes burning with a fire no one could miss. The spotlight hit him, his simple suit suddenly looking out of place among the glittering gowns and diamond-encrusted watches, but his presence screamed power. It was not connecting. Was this not the man who was just abused? Called a thief? A fraud? “What the hell?!” Donald shot up, his voice a shout, his face red. “This fool thinks he’s the heir? Look around, you idiot! No one’s standing but you! Sit down and stop embarrassing yourself, asshole!” William yanked him down fast, his voice a hiss, his eyes wide. “Shut up, Donald! Everyone’s staring!” But his hands shook, his mind racing—Gary, the heir? No way. Madam Ann’s face went pale, her hands trembling, her voice a snarl. “What’s he doing?! That bastard’s trying to steal the
A Man Called Revenge Chapter 46: Felix; A Man Or A Peacock?
“You shouldn’t be shedding tears, Lancaster. You’ll ruin your make-up.” A cold voice snapped Evelyn out of her daze. She jerked her head up. It was the governor’s son. Felix. Evelyn wiped her tears fast, her hands shaky, making sure her makeup stayed perfect. “Hello, Sir Felix. I… I didn’t know you followed me,” she stammered, her voice small, her eyes dropping to the floor. Felix didn’t smile, didn’t look away. His eyes stayed locked on hers, sharp and unyielding, like a predator sizing up prey. Evelyn couldn’t meet his gaze—her heart raced too fast. Her mind was still a mess from the chaos her family had just dragged her through. Felix was a tall, dark figure, his presence heavy, his tailored black suit screaming money, the gold watch on his wrist flashing with every move, worth more than most people’s homes. He stood with his hands in his pockets, his jaw set, his aura cold and dangerous. A diamond-encrusted pin on his lapel caught the light, a silent flex of his wealth, a rem
A Man Called Revenge Chapter 47: Teach Him A Lesson
Everyone froze, heads whipping around, eyes wide. Gary stepped forward, his face hard, his eyes burning with rage. The simple suit he wore drew a stark contrast to Felix’s wealth, but he did not care. He could buy Felix. The crowd nearby gasped, their whispers buzzing, their eyes darting between the two men. Felix’s grip on Evelyn’s wrist tightened, his eyes narrowing, his voice a low growl. “Who the hell are you to talk to me like that?” Gary didn’t flinch, his voice steady, his eyes locked on Felix. “I’m the guy telling you to back off. She said no. You deaf?” The crowd’s whispers exploded, their gasps loud, their eyes wide. No one talked to Felix like that—no one except the Wang Empire. Madam Ann’s face went pale, her hands shaking, her voice a hiss. “Gary, you idiot! Do you know who he is?!” William and Donald stepped closer, their faces red, their voices low. “You’re dead, Gary,” William growled. “You just signed your death warrant.” Felix let go of Evelyn’s wrist, his eyes

Chapter 99: The Black Book
Gary stood frozen, eyes wide, the words still echoing in his ear: “Grandma is missing.” The phone slipped from his grasp and shattered against the hardwood floor of the dimly lit bar. For a moment, the world stilled. His breath caught. The sharp sound of Serena’s voice was replaced by the deafening silence that rang in his ears. He turned his eyes slowly toward Kage, who now looked like a man watching his executioner arrive. Gary’s voice was low. Lethal. “What did you do?” “I—I didn’t do anything!” Kage stammered, scrambling back on the leather seat like a rat caught in a flood. His left hand clutched his bruised, broken finger. Tears welled in his eyes. “I swear to you, Gary—I mean, Master Wang—I swear on my life! I didn’t touch her! I didn’t even know!” Gary took one slow, dangerous step forward. “You were the only one who knew who I was.” “I—I didn’t give them your name!” Kage wailed. “They just… they gave me that card. They told me to find the heir. I didn’t even know it w
Chapter 96: Lies For A Truth
“Kage.” Ruth called out. Kage had literally been ousted from the family ever since he lost his place in the business world. The Lancasters no longer gave a fuck about him and he went from being a potential son-in-law to an outcast, a loser like Gary. But seeing Kage bid $90 million for Edmond’s painting in his arrival party, it shook the entire city. Where could Kage possibly have gotten such a huge amount of money from? His father, his family, the Howards were literally demoted to the 64th richest in the country from the top 10 just a few weeks ago. None of the Lancasters got to see Kage before he left, to perhaps rekindle their broken relationship. But now, here he was, standing in the mansion with power and authority. “Yes. I know who Gary really is. See, there is a private sector, a secret organization…” Kage paused for effect, then glanced around the room as though sharing a national security secret. “It’s extremely confidential. I wasn’t even supposed to know, but I stumb
Chapter 98: Den
The bar reeked of expensive bourbon and awkward silence. Not a word was spoken, not even among the chatter-happy. Just the occasional clink of a glass, the low hum of jazz from the speakers, and the haunting stillness of a room filled with people pretending not to notice the elephant in the room—Gary Wang. He sat in the corner booth with Kage and a couple of Lancaster affiliates who still hadn’t figured out whose side they were really on. Gary leaned back, his expression unreadable. Calm. Detached. Yet his eyes scanned the room with surgical precision. Something felt off. The whole night felt like a setup, a test, a stage. Kage, ever the fool in a devil’s suit, tried to lighten the mood. He tossed back a shot and laughed a little too hard at his own joke. “You know,” he slurred, nudging Gary with his elbow, “you and that bitch... Evelyn, I mean... You’d actually make a perfect couple. Both so uptight and dramatic. I swear, it’s like watching a telenovela.” Gary didn't flinch. Just

Chapter 95: "Who The Fuck Are You?"
Returning to the house was a man and a drunk woman, unable to walk properly. Gary helped Evelyn walk in, her arms wrapped around his wide shoulder. She had actually taken over ten bottles alone, an outrageous number. Funny enough, Bae also had so much to drink. But the men –Edmond and Gary, knew better than to get drunk. They would be the ones in the driver’s seat, taking their ladies home. As soon as Gary was in the living room, someone turned the lights on. It was a huge living room that usually felt empty. But tonight, something felt off. People. Lots of people. Everyone was in the living room, waiting for the arrival of Gary and Evelyn. But the way they stared at Gary, he knew they were waiting for him specifically. Madam Ann, the head of the Lancaster family, was seated on her golden chair in the middle of the living room, William, her first son, standing beside her. Enrique sat on the couch, sipping from whatever drink was in the cup he was holding firmly, his eyes unreadab
Chapter 94: Is This Friendship?
They turned to see Edmond Edgar stepping inside, flanked by his assistant and a striking woman with a delicate jawline and a kind smile. “Edmond?” Gary blinked. “You again?” Edmond laughed. “You say that like I’m stalking you. Trust me, I’m the one surprised. I guess the world is really a small place, huh?” Evelyn and Edmond’s eyes met. A flicker of warmth passed between them—not desire, not confusion, but shared memory. He nodded. She looked at the woman beside him. “I’m Evelyn,” she said gently. The woman grinned. “And I’m Bae.” Evelyn arched an eyebrow. “Bae?” “I know, I know,” Bae smirked. “Weird name. But at least it’s memorable.” “No,” Evelyn said, smiling. “It’s unique.” They laughed together, and just like that, something settled. Not rivalry. Not competition. Just two women standing in the orbit of complicated men. Meanwhile, Edmond approached Gary and shook his hand firmly. “Hey. Thanks again for purchasing my painting,” Edmond said. “My assistant told me the pay
Chapter 93: A Toast In Times Square
The city stretched out around them like a dream too bright to be real. Evelyn sat in the passenger seat, silent, barely breathing. Her hands lay limp in her lap, her fingers still cold from the call she’d just received. She wasn’t blinking. She wasn’t even sure if she was awake. Gary drove, eyes on the road, the weight of everything between them settled quietly in the space. He said nothing, letting the stillness do the talking. She couldn’t take her eyes off him. Who was this man? Who the heck was this man seated in the driver’s seat, driving with no care in the world, like he didn’t just make her a CEO automatically? A few days ago, he’d been just her ex-husband—strange, reserved, awkward at times, soft-spoken, even forgettable in some crowds. But now… he was something else. Something terrifyingly bigger than her world could comprehend. That call—Serena Voss herself, the woman who made presidents pause mid-sentence—just casually called her. Evelyn. Lancaster. The woman who wa
Chapter 92: The Road To Revelation
The sky had turned soft gold as the sun began its descent, its light spilling across the open highway like a spotlight meant just for them. Evelyn sat in the passenger seat of the black Maybach, her hands resting stiffly in her lap. She hadn’t said a word in twenty minutes. Not since they left the Arcadia building. Not since the entire company—her company—had bowed to her, chanted her name, hailed her as queen. She blinked. Once. Then again. But the road was still real. Gary was still beside her, driving with one hand on the wheel, the other relaxed over the center console. Calm. Unbothered. Like he hadn’t just flipped the entire world upside down. Her world, at least. She glanced at him, barely able to hold the stare. There was no rage in her eyes. No fear. Just… disbelief. A kind of stunned silence reserved for miracles and accidents. Her ex-husband… Gary Wang… had just made her the CEO of Arcadia Estates. A multibillion-dollar empire. One of the most prestigious and powerful
