At that moment, Evelyn was still standing exactly where Tyler had left her, her eyes lingering on the empty space where his car had sped off just a few minutes ago. Her lips were slightly parted, and her brows furrowed as confusion and disbelief ran through her like waves crashing on the shore. Her heart beat unevenly, and her breath came out slow and shaky.

She turned back toward the warehouse, that cold, dim place where everything had just happened. Her gaze swept over the concrete ground that still had traces of scuff marks from the struggle, over to the unconscious bodies Tyler had thrown down like broken furniture. The two men were still out cold, their bodies awkwardly twisted as if life had been yanked out of them temporarily. The third one, the one Tyler had dragged out last, was kneeling on one leg, barely able to keep himself up. His face was swollen, eyes nearly shut from the punches, and blood trailed slowly from the corner of his lip.

Evelyn’s legs felt like wood as she t

    Upon hearing what Tyler just said, the entire living room fell into a thick silence once again, but this time, it was shattered by the boss’s voice loud, trembling with both rage and disbelief.The boss blinked rapidly, then scoffed, as if trying to process if he had heard correctly. He pointed at himself with both hands, his chest rising and falling sharply, his face twisted in a mix of mockery and fury.“You… did you just say… you’re going to kill me?” he asked, his voice laced with scorn. “Are you mad?!”He laughed, but the laughter was hollow, forced, clearly trying to mask the unease beginning to settle in his chest. He took a step forward, his voice rising.“Do I look like some roadside fool to you? Do I look like those cheap bodyguards that don’t even know how to hold a gun properly? You think this is some street corner where you can beat your chest and throw words around like you’re some kind of god?! Look at me!” he roared, spreading his arms wide. “You think I’ll just fold m

    At that moment, as Tyler pushed through the final hallway and stepped into the heart of the mansion, he arrived at the Bushman family's living room.It was massive.A grand chandelier hung from the high ceiling, casting golden light over the polished marble floors. Rich paintings and portraits of the Bushman lineage filled the tall walls, and everything in the room screamed wealth and legacy. But Tyler wasn’t looking at the furniture or the gold accents.He was looking at the people inside, and yes—they were all there.The entire Bushman family.Seated like it was some kind of planned reception or royal hearing, they filled the long antique couch and velvet chairs that framed the room.Mr. Bushman, the aging but sharp-eyed patriarch, sat in the center like a king holding court. His fingers were clasped over a golden cane, not out of weakness, but as a symbol of power. His eyes locked on Tyler the moment he walked in.To his right, Mrs. Bushman sat still and calm, her poise almost too

    Without wasting another second, Tyler gripped the steering wheel tightly and drove his car straight towards the Bushman family’s residence. His face was cold. His jaw set. His anger was no longer hidden it burned behind his eyes like fire. His mother’s tears, the destroyed shop, the message smeared on the wall they were all seared into his mind like brands. And now, someone had to pay for it.He didn’t blast music. He didn’t speak a word. The only sound was the engine humming steadily beneath him, carrying him like a storm headed for land.It wasn’t long before he reached the grand estate.The walls were tall and proud, like a fortress. The gate was a massive iron beast, polished and guarded. Behind it, the mansion stood bold, surrounded by trees, paved stones, and carefully cared gardens a place only the arrogant and untouchable would call home.Tyler pulled up just outside the gate. He parked the car smoothly, switched off the engine, and stepped out with silent fury. The wind tugge

    To Tyler, money had never been the issue not now, not ever. If it was just about fixing a shop or getting his mother a better, even more luxurious place, he could have done that with a single call, without blinking. He could buy out an entire plaza if he wanted to. Renovate five more stores if that was what it took. That wasn’t the problem.The real issue... was the tears.His mother’s tears.That shop was a symbol. It was her pride, her joy, her new beginning. And someone dared to strip that away not just by destroying the store, but by making her cry. They shattered her heart, not the tiles. They cracked her confidence, not the glass. And that was where the line was drawn.No one absolutely no one made his mother cry.His jaw tightened as he stood still for a second, swallowing hard. The rage inside him was simmering like lava trapped in a mountain. Not just because of the destruction, but because the people who did it wanted him to know it was a message. A warning. A punishment.‘W

    Without wasting another second, Tyler slammed the call shut. Her fingers trembled slightly, the screen still glowing in her hand. But she didn’t even have time to process anything David had just said her mother’s sobs had shattered everything else in that moment.“Mom!” she cried out, voice laced with panic as she dropped the phone onto the bed and rushed across the room.Her mother still standing near the doorway, completely frozen, like her body had gone numb from the weight of something unspeakable. Her shoulders trembled uncontrollably, and her eyes were red and glassy, spilling heavy, silent tears down her cheeks. She didn’t even seem to notice Tyler’s presence at first.Immediately Tyler grabbed her by the arms gently but firmly, pulling her close.“Mom, what’s wrong?” she asked breathlessly. “Why are you crying like this? Did something happen? Are you in pain? Are you feeling hot or dizzy? Please talk to me!”Her voice cracked on the last word.Her mother didn’t say anything. S

    At that moment, hearing what Tyler just said, his mother paused. Her brows furrowed deeply, and for a few seconds, she didn’t say a word. Her chest rose and fell slowly, trying to process everything. Then she gently nodded, realization hitting her like a slow-moving storm.“You’re right,” she finally said, her voice low, thoughtful, but clearly worried. “It all makes sense now. This… this has something to do with Princess Naomi or Princess Sophia. It has to. That Bushman family didn’t come here just because they felt like it. They have something to gain—or something to protect.”She took a step closer to Tyler and placed a hand on his shoulder. “And you, Tyler… you picked Sophia. You stood your ground. That’s why they’re trying to intimidate you. They’re trying to bully you into stepping away.”Her voice dropped even lower. “Think about it. What if you had picked Princess Naomi instead? What do you think would’ve happened by now? They probably would’ve come for your neck. They probabl
