Ryan was once again shocked. He finally understood why Maverick, the Northwest Prince, treated Nash with such respect.
After chatting for a while, they returned to rest at the Empire Hotel.
...
The next day, at the Fishers'' vi on the outskirts of Horton City, Sixten was kneeling on the ground as he recounted the events that had urred in Bint City.
Baelor mmed the table in anger. "What a disaster! Why did you have to provoke that jinx?"
Sixten was also aggrieved. He could not believe that by merely reprimanding a waiter, he ended up catching Maverick''s attention.
Shiloh Fisher said coldly, "I''ve always told you to keep a low profile. If you refuse to listen, who else can you me?"
"Don''t pin this on me, Shi. Your fiancée has run off with someone else!" Sixten nced casually at Shiloh.
"What did you say?" Shiloh''sposure vanished instantly as he grabbed Sixten''s cor and shouted.
Sixten then informed Shiloh about Gemma and Ryan''s affair.
Hearing this, the veins on Shiloh''s temples throbbed with anger. "Make preparations. I''m going to the Yoner household. I want that wretched woman to know the consequences of betraying me!"
"I think you should calm down, Shi. Ryan now has Maverick backing him," Sixten kindly reminded him.
Shiloh sneered. "Mr. Fisher Senior himself made this arrangement for me. Today, I''m taking Mr. Fisher Senior with me!"
Baelor narrowed his eyes. "Let''s go. We''re going to see Mr. Fisher Senior now."
With one grandson being beaten and another grandson being cuckolded, their entire lineage would be theughingstock of the entire Fisher family if they did not take action.
...
At the Yoner household, Gideon recounted the events of the previous night to his grandfather. Cameron Yoner squinted and asked, "Are you sure Maverick can get Neveah to marry you?"
Neveah was the Queen of Oceanus, holding significant influence throughout the Fisher Empire. Even the Northwest King dared not interfere easily in her marriage. "Dad..."
"Woah, Dad, there are so many cars outside, and all of them are Oceanus luxury cars!" An excited middle-aged man rushed in.
He was Gemma''s father, Sloane Yoner.
Cameron''s eyelids twitched. "Quick... Let''s go out to greet them!"
A momentter, Yoner Empire''s top executives a came out to greet the guests outside the vi. They saw fierce-looking bodyguards stepping out of the luxurious car fleet. Their eyes were sharp, and they exuded a chilling air all over their bodies.
The senior executives of Yoner Empire felt a chill down their spines, feeling as if their throats were being squeezed by a giant hand.
Cameron said in a deep voice, "Gideon, are you sure they''re not here to cause trouble?"
"I... I''m not sure," Gideon replied, feeling uncertain himself. He swallowed hard, his heart pounding heavily.
"I heard that the Queen of Oceanus
has trained a group of assassins, and these people are willing to sacrifice their lives at any moment. If she brought them here, I can''t help but feel like she''s here to wipe us out Cameron''s voice trembled slightly.
Gideon''s eyes narrowed. "Grandpa, I think this is Neveah''s test for mez As long as I can withstand the pressure, she''ll respect me. If she''s a force to be reckoned with, then I must disy my might too."
"Atta boy. I believe in you!" Cameron''s eyes showed admiration.
At the same time, a stunning woman in adies'' suit stepped out of a Rolls-Royce.
She had long wavy hair and a delicate face devoid of emotion.
The 30 or so bodyguards followed closely behind her.
The sound of her high heels hitting the ground was like a heavy hammer pounding on the hearts of the Yoners. The atmosphere was so tense that the Yoners had forgotten to breathe. At this moment, Gideon walked up with steady steps.
Nheless, after just a few steps out, he was overwhelmed by Neveah''s aura. He was unable to move forward.Exclusive content from N?velDrama.Org.
