Chapter 26
Halston raised an eyebrow, examining the nine masked men before him. For someone who had faced many assassination attempts, they looked like amateurs. But it was clear they were mid-level members of one of the well-known underground organizations.On the black suits they wore was a skull brooch with two red fangs dripping blood. Halston knew which organization the symbol belonged to. "So, you're from the Red Syndicate. Did you come here to take revenge for your friends I beat to a pulp?" he said calmly, but it triggered the hitmen's anger.They felt insulted when they found out their target was the man once called the useless son-in-law of the Brown family. Victor explained that Halston was not an ordinary man since he managed to defeat Tom's team. Even so, it was hard for them to accept that because they were used to killing worthy targets."Let's just finish this bastard quickly," the first hitman who appeared pulled out a gun and aimed it at Halston. "Tom was too arrogant and stupi
Chapter 25
Halston instantly fell silent, recalling memories with his coworkers. They reminded him of himself when his family first cast him out. Everyone looked down on him, and only a few treated him like a human being.He took a deep breath, held it for a moment, then let it out slowly to calm the turmoil in his chest. His family had treated him like trash, so he would not go back unless his father came to beg him.Mia misunderstood Halston's expression, thinking he was upset about being fired. "Don't worry if you can't get a new job. I already told you, you could work as a servant for rich people," she said in a fake caring tone."You can work in one of my family's mansions if you want," Nolan added, holding back his laughter."I bet this loser will go crying to Mr. Rowan." Mia's eyes narrowed as a mocking grin spread across her face. "But I'm sure a respectable man like him won't help someone negligent at his job!"Halston ignored all the mockery and spoke to Adrian. "I was already planning
Chapter 24
Halston kept working as a food deliveryman because his job actually gave him some advantages. For example, he once delivered food to a penthouse where the children of wealthy families were having a party. He overheard one of them saying their parents were misusing investments from Dominion Capital, which was a major violation.Because of that, Halston was able to catch the culprit and get a huge compensation. People constantly insulted him or spoke without a filter around him, thinking he was just some lowlife who could not do anything."Bro, are you okay?" Colin, Halston's coworker, greeted him with concern. He had already heard about Halston's divorce because rumors were spreading that Mia would get married again.Everyone in town was happy to hear that a great woman like Mia had finally found a man who deserved her. But Colin disagreed, since he had seen how hard Halston had been working all this time.Halston smiled while patting Colin's shoulder. "If I were sick, I wouldn't come
Chapter 23
"Why are you talking so rudely? Halston's helped us a lot!" Kyra scolded her brother as usual. She already expected Julian to snap back at her, but strangely, he stayed silent with a thoughtful look in his eyes."Yeah, I went too far," Julian finally said, though his tone was far from sincere. "I just want to get home quickly. Mom's alone there, so I'm worried."This was not Julian's usual response, and even Nick was surprised by the change in his behavior. But Halston had already read Julian's thoughts. He told Kyra not to think about it and to take her family home.People in the suburbs stared at Halston's black Bentley with awe and confusion. They had never seen a luxury car come to an area like this. And unlike Mia feared, the road was wide enough to enter the neighborhood.Nick stepped out with his chin held high, looking at the neighbors as if they were piles of junk on the side of the road. In his heart, he swore he'd leave this cheap housing area as soon as possible. Once he m

Nick was so excited about the partnership with Miles that he forgot Grayson drove his family here. The neighborhood where Jack lived was heavily guarded, and taxis or food deliveries were not allowed inside. Many of the city's important figures lived here, so not just anyone could set foot."Looks like you'll have to walk all the way to the outer gate. But it'll take a while since this neighborhood is huge," Lucy ridiculed."Do you want me to drive you?" Nolan offered. "I came here with my driver so you can ask him for help."Mia clung to Nolan, acting overly affectionate to make Halston jealous. "Honey, you're too kind! But Uncle Nick's house is in a dirty and unsafe part of the outskirts. I'm worried your car will get damaged since the roads are narrow!""You talk like that's my only car. I still have a whole collection in my garage, so it's fine if one gets damaged.""I knew I made the right choice to marry you. You're loaded, but you're still so humble!"Instead of feeling touched

There was complete silence after Miles' statement. No one said a word in response. Nolan even checked his phone several times to make sure he had called the correct number."I-I'm sure you called the wrong person. There must be a mistake here," Mia said, biting her thumb. "Mr. Rowan told us at the party that he mistook Halston for someone else. There's no way that scum got an offer without a connection!"Lucy nodded in agreement. "I'm sure Halston did something like he did to Matteo. He must've brainwashed that person on the phone!""Yeah, it doesn't make sense. My parents once got capital from a few companies, and it was never easy to get an offer just like that," Grayson said, refusing to believe Halston could attract attention from such a famous investor.From the other end of the line, Miles heard the argument and quickly figured out what was going on. He still remembered meeting Halston in Eden West. They had only met to discuss business, but that private dinner felt special and
