At this moment, Junior's rage threatened to consume him entirely as he witnessed the two embracing on the sofa.

All the guilt he had felt towards Rosemary vanished in an instant! Their abducted daughter's life was hanging in the balance, yet here she was, in a hotel, embracing another man! He never imagined Rosemary would stoop to this! If she didn't want the child, why subject herself to such suffering by giving birth to her?

"Damn it, you're that wild man of Rosemary's, huh? I'm talking to you, haven't you heard?" Alberta seethed, incensed at Junior's blatant disregard. He, the second-ranked scion of the Morley family, a prestigious clan in Keklia Town, was being blatantly ignored.

Bang! A gust of wind swept through as Junior sent him flying like a soccer ball. Crashing into the back wall, Alberta gasped and spat blood, then writhing in pain.

"Damn it, you dare hit me. I swear, if I don't skin you alive, I..." Alberta started to rant.

"Throw him out!" Junior's eyes remained fixed on Rosemary, ignoring Alberta completely.

"Yes!" Timothy entered the room.

"What are you planning? If you dare touch me, I'll kill you!" Alberta yelled as Timothy approached him.

Timothy slapped him twice across the face. "Shut your mouth or die!" He then grabbed Alberta and dragged him towards the door.

"I'm asking you!" Junior's voice was cold as he spoke, still not looking at Rosemary. His anger made his tone heavier. "I won't blame you for neglecting Laurel, but tell me, who kidnapped her? I need to save her!"

Before he could finish speaking, Rosemary walked up to him. Her eyes were icy. She raised her hand and slapped him across the face. Junior could have easily dodged it, but he stood still, staring coldly at Rosemary.

"Who do you think you are to talk to me like this?" Rosemary's voice cracked as tears streamed down her face like rain. "Five years! Five long years! Do you know what I've been through all these years? I regret so much that I interfered five years ago to save you. If it weren't for that, I wouldn't have ended up in this situation today!"

Rosemary cried out. "A person who disappeared for five years and abandoned me and my daughter, has no right to question me! Laurel is my daughter, and it's none of your business! From now on, don't let me see you again!"

She had expected Junior to comfort her, to give her even a shred of security. Instead, what did he do? From the very first moment, he came at her with nothing but accusations. Her heart broke all over again.

Junior’s voice was low, each word cold and deliberate. “None of my business? Then what about you? If you had truly made it your business, would I even be standing here now?”

The answer came as a sharp crack—another slap across his face.

Rosemary’s lips curled into a bitter sneer. “Yes! That’s right! I’m just a slut who’ll sleep with any man! Is that the answer you’ve been waiting for? Now get out!”

Rosemary pushed Junior away. She covered her face with both hands. Tears of grievance streamed down uncontrollably as she rushed towards the door.

"Rosemary!" Junior reacted quickly, reaching out to grab her arm.

No matter what, he owed Rosemary an apology. His attitude just now was indeed too harsh...

"Don't touch me!" Rosemary forcefully shook off his grasp and swiftly rushed out.

Timothy, who had just returned, tried to stop Rosemary, but she pushed him away and ran straight down.

Junior also came out from inside, watching her disappear from view and feeling an inexplicable pain in his heart. He didn't want to believe Rosemary was a woman like this!

Yet, the harsh reality was right in front of him. After five years away, Rosemary had fallen in love with another man, which was understandable, but she meeting with men here like this with her daughter abducted was something he couldn't accept!

"Junior, do you want to go after her?" Timothy asked.

Before Junior could answer, Timothy's phone suddenly rang. His brow furrowed as he listened to the voice on the other end.

"Any news?" Junior asked anxiously.

"Yeah, we found the four people who kidnapped Laurel!" Timothy replied.

    "You...you have no idea what we Maldonados are capable of," Omar continued, taking a deep breath. "I promise you'll regret this. No one has ever dared challenge the Maldonado family like this in Keklia Town. Not just you two, but Rosemary and her entire family will suffer...""You really are an idiot," Timothy sighed, shaking his head. He couldn't help but recall battlefield scenes where the Commander, alone with his battle sword, left a trail of bodies, turning the place into a hellish landscape.Such power was far beyond what a small family like the Maldonados could withstand. Truly, ignorance was bliss.Just then, Junior's phone rang. Seeing Rosemary's name, his breath caught.Guilt from his earlier harsh words towards her surged through him. Taking a deep breath, he answered softly, "Rosemary.""Where are you? Any news about Laurel?" Rosemary's anxious voice came through the line."Rosemary, don't worry. Laurel is safe now," Junior reassured her."You found Laurel?" Rosemary's voi

    After hanging up the phone with Nicolas, Junior pulled out his own phone and dialed Iris."Commander!" Iris answered after just one ring."Bring some people to clean up the club," Junior said sternly. "Also, meet me at the Maldonado Manor in three hours.""Uh?" Iris was momentarily stunned but quickly replied, "Understood!"After hanging up, Junior turned and headed for the door, with Timothy following behind, carrying the unconscious Omar.Meanwhile, outside the most upscale private hospital in Qiekery, a Mercedes-Benz was parked not far from the entrance.Inside the car were Nicolas, the Maldonado family's butler, two strong bodyguards and Laurel, who was lying unconscious in the back seat. Nicolas had just finished his call and sat in his seat, his face dark and menacing, his eyes like blades, and a murderous aura radiating from him.It had been almost thirty years since he had been this angry. In Keklia Town, someone dared to challenge him, Nicolas! It was outrageous. He had alrea

    “Great. That little bastard should feel honored—her heart will be transplanted into Master Omar’s daughter,” someone nearby sneered.At those words, Omar’s spirits lifted. His daughter had been waiting nearly two months for this surgery. The Maldonado family had exhausted every option, and at last, there was progress.As for Laurel’s life, Omar couldn’t care less. To him, people were simply born into different stations. Allowing this low-life’s heart to save his daughter was, in his view, already a mercy."Congratulations, Master Omar!" two rich young men exclaimed simultaneously."Haha, thank you!" Omar laughed heartily. He raised his glass and drank it all in one go.Boom! At that moment, a gust of wind shattered the private room into splinters, sending wood fragments flying."Ah..." The girls screamed in unison."Damn, who dares cause trouble here? Are they tired of living?" The tall guy was startled. He got up and walked towards Junior and Timothy. "Where did you losers come from?

    Bam! Bam! Bam! Tables, chairs, and benches around exploded; windows on the walls shattered into pieces, and the bar counter collapsed with a crash. Clark, like a cannonball, was thrown out, smashing through the wall behind him and crashing onto the cement floor outside."So strong." He managed to utter a few words before a large amount of blood spurted out, his body convulsing a few times before going limp.He never imagined that he, the underground king of Keklia Town, revered by thousands, would one day lose his life because of a little girl! If given another chance, he probably wouldn't have taken on that job from the Maldonado family! But life had no 'ifs'. Karma had its retribution, and everything had its consequences!Splurt! Junior, blood rushing to his heart, suffered even more. He spat out a mouthful of blood, his aura also weakening."Ah..." Junior fell to his knees, tears streaming down his face, crying out into the sky with a heart-wrenching cry. 'In the end, was I too lat

    Azure Sky Dining, one of the most upscale restaurants in Keklia Town. Normally, only the wealthy or influential dine here—definitely not a place for ordinary white-collar workers. Today, starting from the afternoon, the restaurant turned away all walk-in customers with the reason that Clark was hosting his birthday party here tonight.Initially grumbling patrons quickly shut their mouths upon hearing Master Larson's name and hurriedly left. Clark, known as Master Larson, was the king of the Keklia Town underworld! Not only ordinary people but even the prominent families of Keklia Town treated him with utmost respect.By 6 pm, the restaurant lobby was bustling with lively chatter. Apart from the underworld figures of Keklia Town, representatives from various major families also sent generous gifts. However, to avoid suspicion, they left promptly after presenting their offerings.At six-and-eight, a Maybach pulled up at the restaurant's entrance. Shortly after, Clark, surrounded by his

    "Which hospital? What's the doctor's name?" Junior paused slightly before continuing, "Tell me everything."Rosemary straightforwardly recounted all the information she knew to Junior.A few minutes later, Junior spoke up, "I'll go handle this. Just wait for me at home."Rosemary nodded. For some reason, she felt Junior was unusually calm and full of masculine resolve at this moment, which gave her a sense of security.But before he could take two steps, a large group of cars stormed into the narrow street, roaring towards Rosemary's house. Dozens of black-clad bodyguards armed with knives exuded a murderous aura."It's that man who disabled Mr. Morley. Kill him!" shouted a man with a broken arm.Rosemary's face went pale. "Oh no, the Morley family's people are here.""This is bad," Harley was extremely nervous, her legs trembling."Timothy, handle them," Junior stared coldly at them."Just right, time to stretch my muscles," Timothy's eyes flashed with bloodlust as he shot out like a
