wner of Cape Consortium International. Someone of his power had a terrifying influence on the industry. There might not be any companies willing to work with the Willows anymore after this incident. If Wilbur were out to get them, the Willow family would lose everything in the blink of an eye. The Willow family could not afford to have the Cape Consortium attack them, given how powerful it was. Cape Consortium was like a huge mountain, whereas the Willow family was merely a lump of soil at its foot. She could not think of any way to defend herself from Cape Consortium's attacks. All she could do was beg for Wilbur's forgiveness so that the Willow family would be able to survive. Wilbur realized what Yvonne was worried about and said calmly, "I’ll let bygones be bygones. I won't do anything to Willow Corp. Don't worry." "Really?" Yvonne lifted her head, looking pitiful. Wilbur frowned. "You don't need to act all weak and needy to me. I told you that neither of us should re
It was Wilbur who fell silent now. It took a while before he said, "So, I guess you know what happened, then." "Yes." "I hope you won't blame me," Wilbur said apologetically. Chelsea said weakly, "I don't blame you. They got what they deserved. Yvonne called me earlier to get me to approach you." Wilbur was stunned for a moment and immediately understood what she meant. "Well, come here, then. I've got something to talk to you about, too." "I know they just want to use me, and you know that too," Chelsea said. Wilbur nodded. "I know, but you should know that I see you and the Willow family as separate entities. I'd like you to work as an assistant to Faye Yves. You can learn some new things. This has nothing to do with the Willows." "Can you let me think about it? I don't know what to do right now." He could clearly perceive Chelsea's anxiety through the phone. Wilbur frowned. Chelsea was still a member of the Willow family, after all. This might cause her a lot of st
Upon hearing those words, Yvonne almost passed out again due to her outrage. After a short pause, she replied helplessly, "Help me schedule a meeting with the person in charge. I'd like to have a talk with him." She then hung up the call. She knew very well that the fallout from the failed wedding was starting to show. It was unclear what else lay ahead. All she could do was to face them as they came. Yvonne's parents were gloomy as well. They were still angry at Wilbur, believing that it was Wilbur who pushed their family into a corner. Evening came. Faye drove home alone cheerfully, thinking about what nightgown she was going to wear at home. Perhaps she should buy a few more. After all, she had worn all the ones she had. Should her new nightgowns be even sexier? Suddenly, a black MPV overtook her and grazed against her car. Faye cursed her bad luck and then got out of the car to take a look. Just then, several burly men got out of the MPV. They dragged Faye into
"What am I doing?" Stanley slammed his fork onto the table, his expression was murderous. "You ruined my future and let me be punished by the overseas headquarters. What do you think I'm doing? Stanley got angrier and angrier as he spoke. He had been fired by the Cape Consortium, which pretty much made it impossible for him to survive in the industry. On top of that, he knew how ruthless and cruel the people in the Cape Consortium's internal security were. Cape Consortium's internal security department was just a label. They were a group of heartless and ruthless demons. Besides being in charge of the Cape Consortium's security system, they were also responsible for punishing staff members who committed severe mistakes. Most importantly, they were incredibly powerful, specializing in handling people who owed the Cape Consortium money or refused to pay up. Having been one of the Cape Consortium's higher-ups in the past, Stanley knew how terrifying those people were. Every pers
Wilbur said slowly, "Yes, speaking. What's the matter?" "Head up north to Copperhead Factory. There's something I need your help with," Faye said. Wilbur frowned. He immediately understood that something had happened to Faye. "Got it. I'll be right there. I'll take care of it." At the same time, over at house number one. Benjamin ordered the personal chef to prepare a hearty meal. He then said to his son, "Invite Wilbur over. I'd like to have a drink with him tonight." Gordon nodded and headed out toward Wilbur's house. At the factory, Faye hung up the call and let out a deep sigh. She could tell that Wilbur knew something had happened to her. That was because she had never addressed Wilbur by his full name in regular conversations before. Moreover, Wilbur's response was clear that he wanted her to let him handle it. She just hoped that Wilbur understood how dire the situation was and made sufficient preparation instead of coming alone. Just then, Lightning Hank glanc
Stanley was flabbergasted. It took him a moment to process what Wilbur had just said and burst out laughing. He gave Wilbur a murderous stare. "Young man, do you know who this guy here is? He's Lightning Hank, the head of the Black Tiger Gang! They run Seechertown's underground scene. I think you don't understand what's going on here." "The Black Tiger Gang? Lightning Hank?" Wilbur asked calmly. He then added, "I've never heard of them." Those words made Stanley lose his cool. Just as he was about to shout back at Wilbur, Lightning Hank said, "What a stubborn little guy! You don't know who I am? I guess I'll just have to show you today." Faye hurried to say, "Sir, please don't! You just want money, right? I can give you as much of it as you want. Please don't hurt us. We can talk this through." Lightning Hank retorted coldly. "Why would I need to talk things through with you? You think that the Cape Consortium is that powerful, do you? You're in Seechertown, and I'm the boss
Wilbur smiled. "Ten minutes will do. I'll do it myself if he doesn't come." Lightning Hank continued eating, seemingly carefree. As the biggest gang in Seechertown and the ruler of the underground scene for almost twenty years, he was absolutely confident in himself. Furthermore, he was not alone. A gang leader of one of the bigger gangs had wanted to ambush him but had been taken down by Hank's backer unnoticeably. Hank did not feel as if he needed to fear anyone. This time, he was planning to let the Cape Consortium witness his power so that they would behave in the future. Ten minutes went by quickly enough. Gordon hurriedly got in alone in plain clothes. "Mister Penn, are you alright?" Gordon asked at once. Wilbur looked at the time and smiled. "You're quite punctual." Gordon bowed his head as a sign of respect before turning to look at Lightning Hank and his men. "Which one of you is the leader? Show yourself." Lightning Hank glanced at Gordon coldly, saying, "Wh
Wilbur scoffed coldly and kicked Stanley in the chest. Stanley spat out a mouthful of blood as he was sent flying, landing heavily on the ground and falling unconscious. After that, Wilbur came up to Lightning Hank. "You teamed up to kidnap Faye and wanted to teach me a lesson, right?" "That was all Stanley's idea! I was only doing it for the money! You and I have no beef with each other," Lighting Hank pleaded. He had lost all his cockiness as well.Wilbur lifted him up by the collar and leaned close to the man's face, warning, "I don't care who you are. Don't touch anyone around me. Mess with them, and you'll have to pay the price." Before Lightning Hank could give a response, Wilbur gave him a punch on his stomach right as Wilbur released him. Lightning Hank let out an anguished cry, curling up on the ground as he coughed up blood. There seemed to be traces of his intestines mixed in the blood. It was clear that he was not going to live. Gordon saw all of that from th
