Yuri had a curious look on his face. Who did our sister marry? Whoâs the lucky one this time?â
âLeonardo Langford, Samuel said without hiding anything.
Before Yuri could react, he had already taken a few steps before abruptly turning around. âWho?â
âLeonardo, Samuel repeated.
âAre you sure you donât have a fever?â
r? Yuri walked back and touched Samuelâs forehead.
âWhat? Do you think my sister is not good enough for Leonardo?â Samuel narrowed his eyes.
âThatâs not true!â Yuri laughed. âBut is this for real?â
âYouâll find out soon⦠The wedding reception will be held at our home.â Samuel sat back in his chair.
âMy sister has a strong personality. She has to be ahead of us in everything we do, so itâs only natural for her to marry before us.â
âHow exciting⦠Youâre all family nowâ
wâ Yuri appeared ecstatic. âHow about the Turner Corporation investment?â
âI donât need his help. Samuel was a man with a strong ego. He couldnât and wouldnât beg Leonardo for assistance because of their current relationship. This is the only way he can ensure his sisterâs status in their family.
âDonât be upset. When you overlook this relationship, the two companies are still working together.â Yuri tried to convince him otherwise.
Meanwhile, in the base of the Taibbi familyâs gang.
âHow are you enjoying your two days off, Zach?â Spike unexpectedly showed up to see Zachary Zachary was flattered. âMr. Taibbi! Iâm sorry for causing you trouble.â
âThere is no such thing as trouble. To be more specific, this situation was entirely my fault. When Silas Cox left, he took too many hidden dangers with him. Now that he wants to target me, he can only do so by targeting you guys.â Spike patted Zachary on the shoulder.
âI need you to pick up a piece of merchandise later in the afternoon. Itâs a little troublesome. You must exercise extreme caution. Can you pull it off?â
Zachary hurriedly nodded. âYou I can always rely on me, Mr. Taibbi!â
Spike nodded with satisfaction.
Although it was only a small deal this time, he was using it to put Zachary to the test. If Zachary did a good job on the small deal this time, he would bring Zachary along for all future big deals. When Silas left, he realized he had no one that he could rely on. That was why he must train someone to take Silasâ place as soon as possible. Silas became arrogant after working with him for so long. âWho know Silas would dare to start a new business with the resources I had? What audacityâ Spike scoffed inwardly.
âIâm hoping youâll be able to adjust quickly. You will be working for me from now on, and as long as you do well, I will not treat you poorly!â Spike said âThank you very much, Mr. Taibbi. Iâll do my best! Zachary hurriedly nodded.
Spike was satisfied and turned to leave.
âSpike is gradually letting go of his vigilance, Zachary thought as he took a deep breath. âIt wonât be long before I get what Henry wants.â
Zachary was concerned after sending a message to Henry.
âSpike is an overly cautious individual. He must have thought of a safe way out. Henry and I would be in danger if our plan failed.â Zachary was unconcerned about himself as it made no difference to him if he lost his life.
âHowever, Henry⦠Zachary rubbed his temples, his mind racing. âHenry is also a pitiful soulâ After a while of getting along, he realized he didnât hate Henry anymore, [Keep it going] That was Henryâs response to Zachary, at the future might hold.
Zachary deleted the message, lay on his bed, and began to contemplate the future as he did not know what He had already dealt with Spike, Silas, and Hazel Locke. All that was left was to settle things with Ashley.
He didnât see why he should continue to be by Josieâs side. After everything was said and done, he would leave this city and roam around freely.
At Silasâs residence.
âIâm back, Silas,â Sergio announced when he arrived home. He finally returned after years of hiding outside.
Sergio was imprisoned for several years following the car accident involving the nowâdeceased Hayden Gibson and Kathy Yates. He was sent abroad by Hazel and Silas after his release.
âHow come you canât even learn to behave yourself, especially when weâre all in trouble?â Silas reprimanded angrily, with a deep frown on his face and a cigarette in his hand.
âIâm already at this age. How many more years do you want me to stay outside? Sergio smoked a cigarette as well. âI donât want to go out anymore. I want to marry Hazel and start a family.â
âMarriage?â Silas gave an ironic smile. âIs that woman even interested in marrying you? Youâre se gullible.â
âDonât say that about her. Hazel used to be very kind, Sergio frowned.
âOnly you believe that,â Silas sighed. âThe case against Hayden and Kathy was never closed, and the prosecution period has not yet ended; please be more cautious and donât let Hazel take advantage of you again.â
ng to fear anymore.â Sergio said quietly âI know. The prosecution period will soon be over. I be free soon. I have nothing to He spoke once more. âAbout the car accident, Hazel simply told me to stop Hayden and Kathy from returning to Hofcaster. Haydenâs death was actually the result of my s selfishnessâ
âYouâre such a gullible fool! Hazel has manipulated and exploited you, and yet youâre still here defending her,â Silas scoffed in disbelief.
âIf something really does happen, I will be solely responsible. Iâm not going to let Hazel get involved, Sergio said as he was still protecting Hazel.
âYou fool!â Silas was at a loss for words with his brother.
âIf Sergio found Hazel would do anything for money, including having an affair with me, heâd probably go insane.â Silas didnât want to provoke Sergio, so he put out the cigarette butt and stood up to leave.
At Henryâs residence.
âSergeant Jennings, Sergio has returned to the country.â Henry examined the photo in his hand, which he discovered after asking someone to look into Hazel.
Caden Jennings had never r given up on Haydenâs case, so he was well aware of the situation. âWhat are your plans?â
âZachary has earned Spikeâs trust. As long as there is fatal evidence against Spike, the police will have him arrested,â Henry spoke in a hoarse voice.
âYeah,â Caden spoke once more. âItâs dangerous, and youâre not a cop; Zachary is now also my informant, so I have to protect him.
âIâll see to it that heâs safe, Henry said as he had no other option.
âBut who will keep you safe? Sergio, Spike, and Hazel are all insane. You- Caden was at a loss for words because he felt sorry for Henry.
âThe child born of two lunaticsâ¦â He was concerned that Henryâs actions were too extreme.
âSergeant Jennings, all you have to do is promise me that you will not let any of the bad guys go free, this will allow Josieâs parents to rest in peace, and Spike and Hazel will receive the punishment they deserve. Just leave everything else to me.â Henry said before taking a deep breath âI still want to warn you, Henry. Donât go too far. Your life is far too enviable. Everything must adhere to the law. I will arrest you if you dare to break the law!â Caden wished Henry would keep his cool.
Henry said nothing but smiled weakly.
Nobody could stop him from doing what he had decided to do.
âSpikeâs men attempted to harm Ashley and threatened her with videos. This is also proof. Please keep it safe, Sergeagt Jennings.â
âYou knew Spikeâs men were going to make a move on Ashley- Caden couldnât stand on the moral high ground and blame Henry.
but he was a cop!
âSome people cannot be sanctioned by the law; they must be harassed by someone else of like mind.
Henry sneered âIt had been a while since Ashley framed Jeremy. Even if the case was turned over now, there was no evidence to prove Ashleyâs guilt. Besides, Ashley was still a minor at the time. Therefore, no one could convict Ashley. She was extremely cautious. Thomas was the conduit for everything she did to Josie. In the end, as long as Thomas takes the blame, she is free to go.â Henry was deep in thought. He couldnât let that happen, Even if he went to hell, he would still take Ashley with him.
âHenry, you must remain rational, especially now that everything is improving and Josieâs condition is stabilizing.â Caden sighed.
