Chapter 316: The clock is ticking
Just as Alistair turned to take his leave, opening the door behind him, the sweet aroma of the meals he'd prepared wafted out into the courtyard, drifting into Isabella's nostrils and leaving her speechless and very much hungry.Immediately, she asked. “Master Reid, did you cook something?”“That I did,” Alistair replied. “Would you like to have a taste?”“Absolutely!” Isabella immediately said in excitement. Realising what was happening, Elizabeth immediately spoke up. “I'd love to have a taste as well!”At this point, one would think these two women were not the most powerful women in all of Haven and were instead little children vying for attention. Alistair stood with his hand resting on the heavy bronze door handle, his back to the two women.For a brief second, his shoulder dropped ever so slightly—a rare, subtle sign of pure exasperation from a man who could command the elements.He had intended to have a quick, quiet meal. Instead, he had somehow ended up hosting a culinary
Chapter 315: Catfight
Any other man would be in heaven having been visited by two of the richest, most powerful, and most beautiful women in all of Haven. It would be an honour that they would keep close for the rest of their life.However, Alistair thought differently.In that moment, when he wished for nothing more than to enjoy the hot meal he'd made, he saw the two women's unannounced visit as an annoyance. He stepped out just in time to hear the two in a heated argument.“How did you find out about this place?” Elizabeth asked with a deep frown. “Oh please, do you really think this house is that well hidden that I wouldn't be able to find it?” Isabella replied. “Hmmph, you are supposed to get permission from either my father or me before coming here,” Elizabeth remarked. “Oh? But I thought you handed this place over to Master Reid. So are you saying that despite handing this place over to Master Reid, you still consider it yours?” Isabella sneered.“That… of course not! Fine then, did you get Mas
Chapter 314: Just keep digging
"I look forward to it, Sara," Alistair murmured.Without waiting for her reply, he tapped the screen to end the call and slipped his phone smoothly into his pocket.He handed his card to the blinking cashier, a faint, razor-sharp smile playing on his lips.Back at the Grand Horizon Hall, Sara slowly lowered her phone, her breathing shallow as she tried to calm her racing pulse."Did he apologize?" Tristan asked softly, his voice a perfect mask of gentle solicitude as he handed her the glass of sparkling water."No," Sara said, her voice tight, her eyes locked onto the massive corporate banner above the stage. "He denied everything and made excuses, just like always. But he's still coming tonight."Tristan took a sip of his own drink, turning his head slightly toward the auditorium entrance to hide the malicious, triumphant smirk spreading across his face.'Good,' he thought, his heart pounding with a dark, vindictive thrill. 'Come, Alistair. Walk right into the trap. By the time this
Chapter 313: Don't test me
"Stop lying, Alistair!" Sara’s voice cracked over the receiver, her frustration bubbling to the surface.She was standing in the center of the grand auditorium, tightly gripping her phone as several tech crew members glanced her way. She lowered her voice to a harsh, trembling whisper. "My mother is hysterical, and Patrick is on his way to the clinic right now! They have absolutely no reason to invent something like this. Patrick just got back to Haven today, and the first thing you do is corner them at a supermarket and threaten our company's launch?""Corner them?" Alistair let out a quiet, low chuckle—a sound that made Sara’s blood run cold. "They blocked my path, demanded half a million dollars as an arbitrary 'servant fee' for my three years in your household, and your brother attempted to grab me by my jacket. If he tripped over a wine display while throwing a tantrum, he has only his own clumsiness to blame."Sara froze for a split second.The mention of the five hundred thous
Chapter 312: What's there to be said?
"Sara? Is everything okay? You look pale."Tristan walked up beside her, holding a crystal glass of sparkling water, his expression filled with gentle, doting concern.He had overheard fragments of the frantic conversation, and a dark, triumphal satisfaction was already blooming deep within his chest."It's Alistair," Sara said, her voice tight with a mixture of anger, betrayal, and profound disappointment. She turned to Tristan, her eyes flashing with a cold resolve. "He just assaulted my mother and brother at the supermarket. He threatened them. He told my mother he's coming tonight specifically to ruin our launch."Tristan’s eyes widened in feigned shock, though inwardly, he wanted to laugh aloud. 'Perfect,' he thought. 'The arrogant fool is digging his own grave faster than I could have ever planned.'"He did what?" Tristan asked, his voice dripping with smooth, calculated sympathy as he placed a comforting hand on her shoulder. "Sara... I knew he was bitter about the divorce, b
Chapter 311: Twisting the truth
Sara immediately frowned. “Mom, is everything alright?”“Nothing is alright! And nothing will be alright until Alistair Reid is punished for his actions!” Jocelyn said in a tone that almost seemed like she was crying.“Mom, I don't understand. What are you talking about?”"Your brother and I were just doing some simple shopping at the supermarket, preparing for our return," Jocelyn wailed into the phone, her voice carrying a practiced, trembling pitch of pure victimization. "And that animal, Alistair, cornered us! He started hurling insults at your brother, mocking our family, and bragging about how he was going to ruin the Connor Group’s launch tonight!"Sara’s grip tightened on her leather folio. Her heart skipped a beat, a cold weight dropping into her stomach. "Alistair? Mom, are you sure? Why would he even be at that supermarket? And what do you mean he cornered you?""Are you questioning your own mother, Sara?!" Jocelyn snapped, her faux-tears instantly hardening into a sharp, d
