Oliver, whose back was facing Ynes, turned and asked, "Miss Ynes, are you the owner here?"
Ynes was shocked to see Oliver, the guy who got into a heated argument with her bodyguard a few minutes ago."Yes, I’m the owner here," Ynes replied shortly.The Empire Hotel was one of the properties of the Larking family, and Ynes was the one in charge."I came here to book a suite, but your staff wouldn’t allow me; why is it so?" Oliver asked with a stern expression.Oliver then explained everything that had happened to Ynes.Ynes was furious; she never looked down on people and didn’t expect her staff to do so.She took a yellow card from her bag and handed it to Oliver."I’m really sorry for my staff’s behavior; this is our membership card.""You can stay here whenever you want without paying."Oliver wanted to reject the membership card; he had enough money to pay for all his lodgings, but after giving it a second thought, he decided not to embarrass her.He was taken aback when he entered his chosen suite, which, while not a presidential suite, was of the highest quality.Oliver felt happy, this was the first time in many years he was going to have a good bed and room to sleep in.He took his phone and tried sending a text message to Zelda, telling her about his now endless wealth, but after thinking of her affair with Alex, he deleted the message.At the same time at the Ellison’s manor, Zelda was standing on the terrace wearing her blue nightgown, which couldn’t hide her alluring figure.She looked worried as she kept staring at her phone from time to time. It’s been two hours since Oliver left the manor but hasn’t returned.Abigail joined Zelda on the rooftop."Mom, do you think Oliver would return?" Zelda asked impatiently after seeing Abigail.Hearing her daughter mention Oliver, Abigail was annoyed."Zelda, why are you worried about that deadbeat follow?" She asked, coldly."Mom, Oliver left the house after our argument. "What if he goes to sleep under the bridge and is harmed by those bad guys on the street?""Oliver left himself; we didn’t drive him out, right?" Abigail replied."Mom, it’s my fault.""I only went out with Alex because you insisted, but he thought I was having a secret affair with him.""Zelda!" Abigail stomped on her foot. "Don’t tell me you’ve fallen in love with that good-for-nothing fellow.""Uh, uhm, mom, what are you saying?" "I'm not in love." Zelda replied in an embarrassed tone.Hearing her reply, Abigail smiled and said,"Try not to stress; I'll acquaint you with someone rich later. " "You should concentrate on your mother's words and ignore him; you're the most beautiful person in Boston Hills and all of Canada; do you have any idea how many men would give their lives to marry you?" Alex is also rich and loves you very much.At the point when Abigail left the room, she was exceptionally cheerful. "At last, I've disposed of that futile, useless son-in-law," she mumbled.After Abigail had left, Zelda couldn’t control the tears she had been holding back.Streams of tears run swiftly across her cheeks."Oliver, it can’t be that you’re gone and won’t return again, right?" The tears in her eyes couldn’t stop flowing.She wanted to call him, but not wanting to accept the fact that she had fallen in love with the man whom she was forced to marry prevented her from doing so.

Chapter 428: Vespera Shot
The cacophony of gunfire gradually began to subside as Vespera and her remaining men pressed deeper into the warehouse. Dust particles danced in the slivers of light that pierced the shadows, casting an ethereal glow on the scene of chaos they had unleashed. The once formidable gang members were now scrambling, their coordinated efforts unraveling under the relentless assault from Vespera’s team.Vespera took a moment to steady her breathing, her eyes scanning the dimly lit interior for any signs of movement. Her twin pistols, still warm from the earlier exchanges, were firmly gripped in her hands. She glanced over to her lieutenant, Marcus, who was crouched behind a stack of crates, tending to a wound on his shoulder.“Marcus, status report,” Vespera commanded softly, her voice cutting through the lingering tension.Marcus glanced up, wincing as he pressed a makeshift bandage against his injury. “We’ve neutralized the majority of their front line. A few are regrouping near the easter
Chapter 427: Vespera Men vrs The Gang
Boom!” Boom!”Gunfire thundered through the warehouse like a crack of constant lightning, echoing off the metal walls. Vespera crouched behind a stack of crates, breathing heavily as she surveyed the confusion erupting around her. Across the open space, several of her men darted from cover to cover, exchanging bullets with the entrenched gang. The flickering overhead lights and the fading daylight outside cast strange shadows on everyone’s faces, making it hard to tell friend from foe at a glance.A sudden movement drew Vespera’s eye—a gang member peering out from behind a barrel. He was angling his rifle around, clearly targeting one of her flanking teammates. Vespera exhaled slowly to steady her aim. Boom!” With a single, crisp shot, she put a bullet through his chest. He staggered, eyes wide in disbelief, then collapsed to the concrete floor. His rifle clattered away from his limp fingers.No sooner had she taken that shot than chaos erupted on her left. Two of Vespera’s men work
Chapter 426: 2 killed
Inside the warehouse, tension hung as thick as the cigarette smoke lingering in the air. The men, on edge from the failed phone call, sat in uneasy silence while their boss poured himself another stiff drink. Suddenly, one of the gang members—a tall, lanky fellow wearing a threadbare jacket—stood up, fidgeting with his belt buckle. “Boss,” he mumbled, trying not to meet the scarred man’s gaze, “I need to step out. Gotta—uh—ease myself.” The boss, halfway through knocking back his liquor, merely grunted. No one else spoke. They watched the lanky man slip past the makeshift barricade of crates and head for the side exit. The heavy metal door groaned in protest as he shouldered it open and stepped out. Outside, the wind carried the faint rustle of footsteps—just enough to prickle the senses. The lanky man squinted into the darkness, blinked, and felt his heart slam in his chest. Figures moved in the shadows—silent, intent, armed to the teeth. It didn’t take long for him to recognize
Chapter 425: Vespera Arrival At The base
An hour later, Vespera and her men pulled off the main road and into a desolate stretch of industrial wasteland far from the heart of town. The drive had been tense but uneventful; now, their headlights illuminated cracked asphalt and abandoned warehouses, all standing silent under the pale glow of a few flickering streetlights. The pavement was riddled with weeds poking through the cracks, and torn chain-link fences ran along the perimeter, giving the area a forlorn, almost post-apocalyptic feel.As they brought their vehicles to a stop near a rusted sign that was barely legible, the hum of the engines cut out, plunging the surroundings into an eerie hush. In the distance, the faint outline of the gang’s base rose against the horizon—a hulking, squat structure of corrugated metal and boarded-up windows. It was set back from the main road, hidden amid tangles of overgrown brush and twisted piles of scrap. An occasional burst of light from a flickering floodlight revealed hints of move
Chapter 424: Logan Is A Family
As Vespera moved towards the car, she turned back to address her team, her expression steely."Before we head out, clean up these bodies," she instructed, her voice firm. "Make sure there’s no trace left behind. I don’t want any sign of this incident here."One of the guards stepped forward, nodding but looking at the black van parked nearby. "And the vehicle, ma’am? What do we do with it?”Vespera smirked, a hint of dark amusement in her eyes. "We’ll handle that too. Have it rebranded, stripped of any identifiers. Once it’s ready, it’ll be delivered to the local orphanage as a donation. They could use a decent vehicle more than these fools ever could."The guard’s mouth curled into a knowing smile as he nodded. "Understood, ma’am. We’ll get it done."The team moved quickly, setting about their tasks with military precision. Two guards began gathering the bodies, making sure every detail was accounted for, while others turned their attention to wiping down the van and removing any wea
Chapter 423: Vespera Wipes All
Grimacing with agony, the man gritted his teeth and clenched his fists, struggling to endure the searing pain that radiated from his wounded thigh. Each breath was a struggle. With a steely glint in her eyes, Vespera withdrew the gun from the man's lips and aimed it at his knee with chilling precision. Without a moment's hesitation, she pulled the trigger, the deafening boom of the gunshot reverberating through the air as a bullet tore through the man's knee, shattering bone and tissue with brutal force. The man's scream echoed through the night, his body wracked with agony as he collapsed to the ground, his shattered knee rendering him utterly helpless before Vespera's merciless interrogation. "Where's the address?" Vespera demanded once more, her voice cold. Gulping hard, the man's eyes darted nervously as he struggled to compose himself through the haze of pain and fear. Finally, with a shaky breath, he spoke in a voice barely above a whisper. "The address... it's..." he
