Darren felt a painful sting on his chin. He didn’t expect Samantha to have that much strength in her small arm.

He gazed at the two girls who had the same expression on their faces and blinked. Puzzled.

His eyes swept around and noticed people were watching the scene with disdain on their faces. The kind of glare that says ‘you got what you deserved for pestering a girl who is in a league way above yours’.

Someone said, “What does he want with them? Oh mine he looks so rough. Can’t he see those

    The moment Emily was struck to the ground, her mother let out a terrified scream."Emily!"She instinctively tried to rush toward her daughter, but the thug holding her hair refused to let go. He yanked her backward so violently that she nearly fell.The woman cried out in pain."Please! Please don't touch my daughter!"Tears streamed down her face as she desperately struggled against his grip."She has done nothing wrong! Please leave her alone!"The leader of the thugs looked at the crying woman and then at the little girl lying on the floor. Suddenly, he nodded as though he had just come up with a brilliant solution."You know what?" he said casually. "Maybe this problem is easier to solve than I thought."The woman froze."What do you mean?"The thug pointed at Emily."You said you spent our money on her treatment."The woman slowly nodded.The man's smile widened."Then she is the reason you cannot pay us."A bad feeling immediately filled the woman's heart.The thug continued sp

    For fifteen straight hours, Joshua drove the van at high speed, moving as far away from the city as possible.They had crossed multiple towns, passed through several villages, and even traveled through a large city along the way.By the time the sun was beginning to climb high into the sky again, Joshua finally turned off the main road and drove deep into a wooded area near the outskirts of a small town.The van eventually came to a stop among the trees. Joshua released a long breath before shutting off the engine."We're here, Young Master."Darren looked through the windshield.The place was quiet. There was nothing around except trees and a narrow dirt path leading toward the town in the distance."Here?" Darren asked with a frown.Joshua nodded."For now."The two of them stepped out of the vehicle.Joshua stretched his sore back and looked around carefully before turning toward Darren."This is a small town. If we lay low, no one should recognize you here. After all, people in pl

    Alicia looked directly into Joseph's eyes. There was not even the slightest hesitation on her face as she answered him."Yes."The confident smile on Joseph's face stiffened slightly.Alicia continued before he could speak, "Even if you owned the entire world, my answer would still be no."Joseph's eyes narrowed.Alicia took a deep breath and continued fearlessly, "Over my dead body will I ever have anything to do with a terrible human being like you."Everyone including Darren were surprised by her response. They all thought she would immediately throw herself at him now that he was very wealthy.Maybe Darren had underrated Alicia’s character. For a few seconds, Joseph simply stared at her. Then, surprisingly, he smiled. It was not the smile of a man who had accepted rejection.A cold and calculated smirk slowly followed as he folded his arms."You really should not test my patience, Alicia."His voice was calm, but that calmness somehow made it even more unsettling."Do you know wh

    The leader of the thugs looked at Darren, Alicia, and Joshua before asking coldly, "Where is Mr. Hilton?"Darren glanced toward the sky where the small aircraft was already becoming nothing more than a tiny silhouette disappearing into the clouds. A mocking smile appeared on his bruised face as he pointed upward and said, "There he is. Go catch him if you can."The man's face immediately darkened. He followed Darren's finger and stared at the departing plane for several seconds. By the time he looked back at them, a dangerous expression settled on his face."Put them in the cars."The order had barely left his mouth before the thugs moved. Several men immediately grabbed Darren while others seized Joshua and Alicia. Darren struggled briefly, but a metal rod slammed into his stomach, forcing the air out of his lungs."Move," one of the men growled.The three of them were dragged toward the vehicles and shoved inside. Moments later, the engines roared to life and the convoy sped away f

    After several minutes of pursuing through the streets of the city, Joshua looked through the side mirror, the three vehicles carrying Mr. Red's men were nowhere to be seen."Are they still there?" Jeff asked nervously.Joshua shook his head."No. "We lost them? But only for now"Alicia frowned."For now?"Joshua's expression remained serious."I know security tactics. I know how people like them operate. I used several routes and misled them. But they will eventually find us again."The atmosphere inside the car immediately became heavy again. Nobody spoke.About thirty minutes later, the vehicle drove into a private airport on the outskirts of the city.After parking the car, everyone got out. Alicia looked around."Why are we here?"Joshua turned toward Darren."Young master, the best thing you can do right now is leave the country."Darren frowned.Joshua continued, "You and Master Hilton should leave for a while. Stay somewhere safe and return after things calm down."Jeff immedi

    Joshua, the security man’s words immediately made the three of them to freeze.Darren frowned deeply."Hurry?" he asked. "What are you talking about?"Jeff stepped forward."Joshua, calm down and explain properly. Why are you telling us to hurry?"Joshua was breathing heavily. Sweat covered his forehead as though he had run all the way to the hospital."There is no time," he said urgently. "You have to leave right now."Alicia looked confused."Leave? Why?"Joshua swallowed hard."It’s Mr. Red."The moment he mentioned that name, Darren's expression darkened."What about him?" Darren asked coldly.Joshua quickly explained."Mr. Red showed up at the mansion with lawyers and police officers. They confiscated everything. The mansion, the vehicles. Everything."Jeff let out a bitter sigh."We already know that."But Joshua quickly shook his head. "No. That is not what I came to tell you."Everyone became silent. Joshua looked around nervously before lowering his voice."After Mr. Red took
