Chapter 71: "Use the X1-654 method." Ruben ordered a bodyguard to bring a computer. The computer was placed before Luuk who was still glancing through the text exchange between the maid and the perpetrator. He shook his head in disgust at the poor skit. The purpose of the show was to humiliate and embarrass Tess and at the same time, get rid of the necklace. The sender had emphasized on putting so much adhesive glue on the shoe that it makes it difficult to remove the necklace without damaging it. A glint flashed past Luuk's eyes, only one name came into his mind–Theresa. He decided not to act based on assumptions and began to work on the computer to discern the location of the sender and if the signal goes through, he would ring their phone. Even if the signal doesn't go through, he could easily install a virus on the phone and ring the phone with that. First, He ran the number through the family database but the number used was an unfamiliar number as it wasn't a part of the dat

Chapter 73: " Did you say one day? That's more than enough then. Seize him" Theresa fell on her knees. "Father, father don't listen to him. It was all his idea, our family's reputation had taken a huge hit when Liam failed the competition and our business was gradually failing. In the course for revenge and a remedy, he brought the idea of creating havoc in the family that will cause Ruben to leave the family so Liam would be the sole heir. It's really not my idea. " In a state of panic, Theresa spilled all of their heinous agenda. They planned to split the family, using Ruben’s love and protectiveness towards his family and the old master's love towards the old madam. They didn't expect their plan to fail before it even had any effect. Old man De Vries turned to Bram. "What do you have to say for yourself Bram Jordans." Bram's body twitched in fear. He had changed his surname when he married into the family but the old master had addressed him as Jordans, his original surname sh

"Chapter 75: Big boss. After a passionate night together, Tess woke up to her phone ringing. Her face brightened instantly as she caught a glimpse of the caller's name. It was Elaine! "Hey sis!" Elaine's cheerful voice traveled into Tess's ears and her heart warmed instantly. "Elaine! Are you back to the Netherlands?" Tess asked excitedly. "Yes, I just arrived, currently in a taxi to my apartment from the airport." Elaine sounded just as excited as Tess. "Ohh you should get enough rest, I would come visit whenever you're free, I would bring the kids along." Tess's loud happy voice woke Ruben who circled his arms around her waist, his face snuggled for warmth between her thighs. " The kids?" Elaine inquired curiously. She only knew about Luke's birth and had in fact been present when Tess was in labor, alongside Albert. "There's just so much to tell you about, you will be so surprised sis." Tess tried to comport herself as Ruben was going further into her inner thighs. "Hmmm

Chapter 77: The urchins A bullet graced Ruben’s arms causing a small wound to tear open. If Tess hadn't acted fast, pulling him from his state of shock, it would have been fatal. The shooter seemed to have stopped. He retracted his gun and took to his heels. Ruben stood up immediately and ran after the fleeing suspect. Tess grabbed his wrist and handed him a gun from her pocket. "Be careful." she said, her tone suggested that it was an order, not a request or a statement. Ruben nodded, sprinting after the suspect. He had predicted this situation. He had Thomas put men on standby in a location close to Brittany's house. They were to wait for Ruben’s instructions which would be communicated to them through their custom communications device but Ruben couldn't get through to them no matter how hard he tried. The problem seemed to be from his own communication device. It was broken internally. Thomas had handed it to him earlier as they went over the plan. They always had a proper

Chapter 79: "Luuk called, he found Lucas." "Yes boss, tell me." Jim said. A part of him didn't believe Tess's stories but he loved the underworld so much he wouldn't miss a chance to hear about them even if they were all made up. He knew seventy percent of the stories he heard were all made up by he hung onto the thirty percent chance of them being True. "Very well." Tess said, light glimmered in her eyes. " Two days after her ascension to the throne and briefing on the situation of the underworld, Avis assembled the fallen men of other mercenary groups that participated in the blood bath and those that were affected with the stupidity of their leaders." she paused and continued. " The underworld barely had fifty mercenary groups as most of them had met their demise and some of them were without leaders. She brought them all together and asked them to select their five strongest men and women from each group of fallen leaders. Burly and muscular men and women came forth. Over a hun
