Chapter 14
The guards, swayed by Ethan's words, immediately grabbed Halston. They were afraid their superiors would scold them for allowing someone like Halston to enter the restaurant. Eden West was a symbol of wealth, and the rich were always sensitive when someone from a lower class stepped into their territory.Ethan grinned in satisfaction. "This man might be dressed neatly and politely, but he's actually Halston, the useless ex-husband of CEO Mia from Silver Trust! He probably got compensation from the divorce and used it to sneak into the elite circle!""I-I didn't know this man was a leech sucking off the Brown family!" the guard at the entrance stammered."You should have been more careful," Ethan glanced at the name tag on the guard's uniform, his eyes gleaming with mischief as a wicked idea crossed his mind. "Your name is Alex, right? I'll report you to your supervisor so you'll get fired for being careless on duty!"Hearing that, the waitress rushed inside and resumed her work. She w

Julian laughed along because nothing made more sense than Grayson's words. "That loser did it, and I'm the one embarrassed! He probably spent his divorce compensation money to hire that actor," he sneered."But why would he approach Kyra? That's strange," Grayson said while rubbing his chin."Obviously because he thinks I'm easy to fool," Nick replied angrily. "That loser Halston convinced my father to marry him to Mia. And now that Mia dumped him, he thinks he can get close to Kyra and live off my family!"Everyone believed Halston lived comfortably in the mansion given to him by the Brown family, but Mia actually treated him like a servant. It was even worse than that, since Mia never appreciated him, even though he worked hard. No one would believe him if he said that she treated her dog better than him.With all those nasty rumors, Nick had no good impression of Halston. He grabbed Grayson's shoulder and pleaded, "You have to defeat that loser no matter what! I don't want him anyw

"Grayson Spark?" Halston frowned, recognizing the neatly dressed man. He knew him because Grayson came from the Spark family, whose wine brand had always been a top seller thanks to funding from Dominion Capital.The reason he could remember Grayson was because his parents would always boast about how their son would be able to handle the family business well, so the Overlord didn't need to worry about its future."You know me?" Grayson raised an eyebrow, inspecting Halston's appearance with a judgmental gaze. "I feel like I've seen you somewhere before. That's strange, because loudmouths like you would never be anywhere near me."Julian snickered and said, "Mr. Spark, you must've seen this loser somewhere. All the wealthy people in the city know him. He's Halston, the useless husband of Mia Brown!""I don't have time for gossip like that because I'm busy managing the family business. But what is this parasite doing here?""As you heard, he's trying to get close to Kyra and even bragg
Chapter 11
The Brown family declared they would accept Nick back if he succeeded in expanding his restaurant business. Even though he had to borrow money from an underground organization, he finally opened several branches in the city. As Matteo had asked, he was only a few steps away from reaching fifteen restaurants.However, his conflict with the Red Syndicate could ruin his business. Halston's unexpected appearance might destroy everything Nick had built. Kyra, who had never doubted Halston before, began to question his true intentions.Julian tried to push Halston, but he failed because Halston stood firm like a giant statue. With his face flushed from embarrassment, he shouted, "Mia must've sent this loser to mess up Dad's business! Grandpa is dead now, so the only way we can come back is if Mia's parents approve. They don't want us to return and claim our inheritance!""I think the same. After all, I'm the son of the former head of the Brown family. That cunning Jack must not want me to g

No one dared to speak. Only the sound of Halston's fists echoed through the air. The thugs watched in silence as Tom got beaten to a pulp, their pupils trembling. They did not expect that courier to be still able to overpower them, even when Tom had brought more people this time.Julian and Nick stood frozen, their mouths wide open. Halston had not been bluffing when he said he could take Tom down. The arrogant man who had been threatening them earlier was now curled up in a corner, his face bloodied and bruised.The tension rose as Halston raised his fist again. Kyra jumped up with a gasp, her breath shaky."Stop! Don't continue this!" she shouted in fear.Halston immediately stopped, and the hard look on his face softened again. Inside, he cursed himself for leaving such a terrible impression on Kyra.The thugs took the chance to escape at this moment. They quietly lifted Tom's limp body and tiptoed toward the exit. Their steps were slow and cautious, like frightened mice."Where do

The silence in the room was broken by the shouts of the thugs. "B-Boss, wake up!" they cried, their faces pale as they looked at Tom lying weakly on the floor."Sorry, I'm late," said Halston, helping Kyra to her feet."How can you be here?" Kyra frowned, certain she had never given Halston her home address."That doesn't matter right now. I told you I'd help you if something happened." Halston took off his suit and placed it on Kyra's shoulders, covering her disheveled clothes."So you're that damn courier?" Julian jumped to his feet and glared at Kyra. "Didn't you say you didn't know him?""I've seen him often because he's the food delivery guy, but I don't know him well.""You should've dragged him here from the start so this mess wouldn't have gotten this big!" Nick snapped.Anger burned in Kyra's eyes. "If you hadn't been late paying his debts, none of this would've happened," she defended Halston.Helen's weak voice tried to mediate. "Kyra's right. We shouldn't have borrowed mon
