2025-05-14 15:46:04“Sorry, wrong. It’s a hundred and ninety seven.”
SLAP! One of the Shadow Guards immediately slapped Liam hard across the face. Meanwhile, Logan snapped his fingers and tapped a few times, then turned it toward Liam. “Your private yacht. Now belongs to me!”“NO! That is mine! MINE!” Liam roared in frustration.
That was his favorite yacht — and the most expensive one!
How could he let someone else take it away?
But ... SLAP! SLAP! SLAP!
Three slaps came one after another, making his head ring loudly.
Liam helplessly sobbed in pain.
The private yacht was worth $5 million ... and he had only bought it last month. Now gone!
His heart was bleeding.
Before he could drop to his knees and beg any further, Logan had already moved on to his next question. “Who is the last woman you slep with and what did you do to her next?” “Anna Kreel, my best friend’s youngest daughter,” Liam blurted. “She threatened to go to the press—I fucked her to death. And faked her death.” “I promise I’m telling the truth this time. You can’t punish m—” However... SLAP! SLAP! SLAP! SLAP! SLAP! Another five slaps landed on Liam’s face—the last one so brutal two teeth flew out of his mouth. “U...un...unfair! Didn’t I say the truth?” Liam yelled in pain, protesting. “You know what? You’re a real devil! That poor girl was only fourteen.” Logan said coldly, his voice full of disdain. And with another tap on the tablet. “Your penthouse in Elleville's East Ridge. Gone!”Hearing this, Liam felt as if a chunk of his heart had been ripped out of his chest — that was his!
Damn robbers!
But he didn’t dare shout again.
“Who is your next prey?”
Ignoring Liam's sour expression, Logan quickly moved to the next question.
Liam hesitated. Reluctantly, he replied, “Charlotte Sullivan—both her grandmother and mother wanted me to take her. It’s a deal, I promise I did nothing wrong! At least, not yet!” SMACK! SMACK! SMACK! By now, Liam’s face was swollen beyond recognition. He clutched his swollen face in despair. He finally understood the rules: no matter what he said, whether truth or not, he would get slapped, and one of his most precious and valuable assets taken. Logan rose to his feet, towering over Liam with a cold fury. “Well, well ... You’re not just a disgrace to business—you’re a total blight on humanity!” Another tap. “Your offshore accounts in the Caymans. Seized!” Each answer was equally disgusting—enough to make anyone sick with outrage. The room reeked of disgrace—heavy with the stench of unspeakable acts that seemed to cling to the very air. With each disgusting answer, Logan stripped Liam of another asset—his stake in three major corporations, his antique car collection, his private golf estate, his ownership of several patents. One by one, Liam’s empire crumbled before him! By the end of it, Liam was trembling and sprawled on the floor, with his face bleeding.Like a dragon robbed of its treasure, Liam couldn't help but burst into tears.
“P-Please… mercy…don't...take them away,” Liam whimpered, still desperately trying to cling to his possessions.Meanwhile, Logan chuckled slightly, his mood wasn't bad.
For trash like Liam, there were three things that mattered more than life itself: fortune, power and status, and women.
And Liam deserved losing them all and go to hell!
Yet for now, Logan had only taken away Liam's fortune...oh yeah, ... and taught him a small lesson.
Wasn't he already very forgiving?
Curling up his lips, Logan sneered, “Liam, burn this into your skull—there are people beyond your ability to offend.” Without another glance at Liam, Logan stood and left with his bodyguards following like shadows. Liam collapsed, sobbing on the blood-smeared carpet of Room 238. Logan didn’t let his men finish Liam off directly. After personally interrogating Liam, he felt that killing this scum would only dirty his own hands—and let Liam off too easily. Liam deserved to suffer more, slowly, and painfully! Outside the hotel, Logan signalled Kane, and within seconds, all the Shadow Guards dispersed. Logan removed his mask, returning to his regular self. The shift in identities was oddly satisfying. Logan left the hotel and headed to the hospital ward where Charlotte was with Chloe, carrying a paper bag with warm milk and Charlotte's favorite snacks. “Logan?” Seeing Logan entering the ward, Charlotte echoed. She looked tired. “Brought you some milk and snacks.” Logan knelt beside her, gently tucking a strand of hair behind her ear. “You’ve done enough for today. Let me take care of both of you now.” He guided Charlotte to sit back, offering her the cup of warm milk. In front of enemies, Logan was a fearsome demon. But in front of Charlotte, he would always be the gentle man who loved her deeply. Maybe he’d be looked down upon by the Sullivans—but as long as he had Charlotte, nothing else mattered. “Oh, Logan, you’re so sweet.” Charlotte took a warm sip and dropped into the chair, watching as Logan took charge—adjusting Chloe’s blanket, checking her IV, and settling into the chair beside the bed. Meanwhile, back in Room 238 of the Grand Bellaria Hotel, Liam Hayes lay motionless, stirring only faintly.

Chapter 424
The night had been unnaturally quiet before the gunshots shattered it.Selena lay motionless on the cold pavement, her body twisted at an unnatural angle beneath the dull glow of the streetlight. The faint hum of electricity overhead did nothing to soften the stillness surrounding her. Her eyes were half-open, staring at nothing, unfocused and empty, her lips parted as though she had been about to speak one last word—but never got the chance. The walking stick lay a short distance from her outstretched hand, its polished surface catching the light uselessly now, and her phone rested near her fingers, its screen cracked and dark, the call she never made frozen in silence.The two men stood over her for a brief moment. Their chests rose and fell sharply as they scanned the street. One of them crouched beside her, pressing two fingers against Selena’s neck. He held them there for several seconds, his face unreadable, then slowly withdrew his hand and shook his head.“She’s gone,” he
Chapter 423
The moment Selena mentioned the street name, the silence on the other end of the call did not bring relief. It was not the ordinary pause of someone thinking or hesitating—it was heavier, deliberate, and dangerous, as though Barbara were carefully measuring every word she was about to unleash. “Ashwill Crescent,” Barbara repeated slowly at last. “So you’re not joking.”Selena tightened her grip on the phone, her knuckles paling. “I told you the truth. I went there. I told them everything,” she replied, forcing steadiness into her voice. “Barbara’s response came immediately, her voice rising with barely contained fury. “You foolish, ungrateful girl. Do you have any idea what you’ve done? You think leaking our plans makes you brave?” Her breath sounded harsh through the line. “You think you can betray me and walk away untouched?”“It makes me free,” Selena shot back, her tone sharp despite the rapid pounding of her heart. “And you can’t change that.”Barbara laughed then, but the
Chapter 422
The phone vibrated sharply in Selena’s hand, slicing through the tense quiet of the night like a blade. She had just stepped beneath a flickering streetlight, its weak glow pulsing above her and casting long, distorted shadows across the cracked pavement. The street was otherwise silent, the kind of silence that made every small sound feel amplified. When Selena glanced down at the screen, her jaw tightened instantly.It was Barbara.For a brief moment, Selena considered letting the call ring out. Her thumb hovered over the screen as her heart beat faster, not from fear, but from the weight of what she already knew this call would bring. Barbara never called without reason. And when she did, it was never to ask—it was to command. Selena exhaled slowly. Avoiding the call would solve nothing. If anything, it would only confirm Barbara’s suspicions and provoke something worse. Steeling herself, Selena answered.“Hello?” she said, keeping her voice cool and even, carefully masking
Chapter 421
The living room was heavy with tension, the kind that pressed down on the chest and made breathing feel deliberate rather than natural. Charlotte sat stiffly on the couch, her hands clasped so tightly in her lap that her knuckles had turned pale. Her eyes moved constantly between Logan and Selena, as though she were watching a silent battle unfold before her. The words Selena had spoken moments earlier still lingered in the air, sharp and unsettling. Barbara and the Sullivan family had plotted against them. Their lives were not just threatened—they were actively in danger.Yet Logan sat across from them with an almost unsettling calm. He leaned back slightly, his posture relaxed, his expression unreadable. If Selena hadn’t known him so well, she might have thought he hadn’t fully understood what she’d said. But she knew better. He had heard her. He simply refused to react.Selena drew in a breath, steadying herself. Fear tightened her chest, but she forced her voice to remain cl
Chapter 420
Charlotte stared at Selena, her brow furrowed deeply, her expression caught somewhere between curiosity and suspicion. The room felt unusually quiet, as though even the walls were listening. “Secrets?” she asked cautiously, her voice measured. “What do you mean by that, Selena? After everything you’ve already told me, you’re saying there are still secrets you want to reveal?”Selena nodded slowly, her movements tense. Her hands twisted nervously in her lap, fingers interlocking and separating as though she couldn’t keep them still. Her eyes darted briefly toward the door, then back to Charlotte. “Yes, Charlotte,” she said softly. “Secrets that I’ve kept hidden for a very long time. Things I was too afraid to say before. Things that could change how you see everything.” She swallowed hard. “But… I don’t think it’s right to tell you alone.”Charlotte’s eyes narrowed slightly. “What do you mean by that?”Selena lifted her gaze, her expression firm despite the fear beneath it. “I
Chapter 419
“Selena… what do you mean by that?” Charlotte asked carefully, her tone calm but insistent. She kept her voice steady, though her heart was racing. She wanted the truth—needed it—but she was also afraid of what that truth might expose. Years of hurt had taught her caution, especially where Selena was concerned.Selena swallowed hard, the lump in her throat tightening until it felt like her words might never come out. Her fingers trembled as they twisted together in her lap. “Charlotte… I need you to understand,” she began, her voice barely above a whisper. “I… I have treated you horribly all these years. Ever since we were born, I never showed you love. Not once. I didn’t protect you, I didn’t care for you the way a sister should. I…” Her breath hitched. “I resented you for reasons I can barely explain. Sometimes I don’t even know why I hated you so much. But I did. And I took that resentment out on you in every way I could.”Charlotte’s brows knit together as she listened, memo
