Chapter 909
Anderson was still fighting with his wife. Talia’s world came crumbling down when she caught her husband cheating on her with his mistress.She had always thought that he’d remain faithful to her and their marriage, even though he secretly had feelings for another lady. Never had she thought that he’d be this filthy and sleep around with someone else. Both he and his mistress knew no shame at all. He might as well have had another family on the side. At the next moment, an ashtray was hurled above his eyes. Crimson blood rolled down his cheek. She might as well have thrown their marriage out the window the moment she hurled the ashtray at him. Anderson stared at his wife, his eyes were filled with gloominess. “Will you knock it off?”Why would she, though?A burning fury rose within her chest. Yanking Ayanna out of her husband’s arms, she swung her hand and slapped the young lady’s fair and delicate cheeks twice, drawing blood. Ayanna held her face, but she remained quie

Charlie put on a serious face. He said solemnly, “That’s a little tricky! However, it just so happens that a friend of mine has a vacant apartment. It isn’t huge, but he did have a keen sense in picking out a good place. It’s right on Heritage Lane. I think it compliments Ms. Ayanna’s status well.”Anderson snuffed out his cigarette and held Ayanna in his arms when he stood up. …A couple of briefcases were wobbling gently in the car. An hour later, they arrived at the apartment on Heritage Lane. Charlie was right, It wasn’t huge by any means. It was barely eight hundred and sixty square feet. However, its interior was nothing short of lavish and the decor was extravagant as well.Even Anderson, someone who was born into an extremely wealthy family, was awed by how luxurious the apartment was. Once he let Ayanna settle in, he walked downstairs and got into his car. Charlie drove the car himself. He spoke as if they were chatting casually. “It’s a nice place, indeed. The fa

Talia was speechless for a long time.Her tone was cold when her voice reverberated in the living room. “You don’t love me? Do you want a divorce? That’s not what you said when you married me, Anderson. You said I’m your ideal wife because of how warm and thoughtful I am.”“That ship has sailed,” Anderson said. “Take a look at yourself, Talia. Do you honestly still think you’re warm right now?”…Tears streamed down her cheeks. She asked defiantly, “Well, who made me this way? Who exactly is the reason that I became a raging shrew? Tell me, Anderson!”He didn’t have an answer for that. The night wind blew past, creating a rustling sound that reminded everyone of the swaying pendant light in the yard. Archibald was beside himself with rage when he heard what his grandson said. He barked an order to the servants, “Smash all the pendant lights right now.”“Dad!”Marisol looked distressed. She yelped in shock, “Are you going to smash everything that’s connected to Gwynn, Dad?

Gwynn was working on a painting in her gallery.Then, she heard her assistant knocking on the door. “There’s a Ms. Talia looking for you, Ms. Gwynn. She’s been here before.”She was a little stunned. Turning around, she looked outside. True enough. Talia was standing at the door. However, she was evidently skinnier than before. The sorrow in her eyes was unmistakable as well. Obviously, she had a hard time with her life. Gwynn had no interest in seeing her. However, she also knew that Talia wouldn’t quit until she saw her. In the end, she chose to meet up with her in a cafe nearby. A sweet aroma rose from two cups of coffee.A couple of elegant ladies sat across from each other. Their paths would probably never have crossed if it wasn’t for Anderson. Talia was the one who broke the silence. “You look well. Life must’ve been kind to you.”Gwynn responded dryly, “Life’s okay, I guess!”Her cold, distant attitude made things a little awkward between them for a moment. Low

However, the black Maybach didn’t park on the porch after it pulled into the villa. Instead, Noah drove it to the underground garage. The car slid down the slope all of a sudden. Before Gwynn knew what was happening, he had locked the garage door so no servant could come inside. She didn’t suspect anything, though. Unbuckling herself, she was about to get out of the car, but he held her slender waist. Then, he carried her and set her down on his lap before reclining his seat until it was lying flat. He was lying on the seat while she sat on his hips, giving rise to a tantalizing yet embarrassing sight.It was dark in the car. He brushed her delicate cheeks and spoke in an extremely husky voice. “Did you just say I’m handy in a brawl? Is that just another way of saying I have great stamina?”Her face flushed immediately.He was well over forty years old, but he could really get in the mood anytime, anywhere. There was a bulge on his deep-colored long pants. It was excepti

An ear-piercing crash could be heard. One of the doors of Noah’s black Maybach flew off its hinges after brutally scraping against the wall. It made a loud clang when it hit the pavement.At the next moment, his car teetered toward a wall ahead and rammed into it. A loud crash could be heard. Then, thick, black smoke rose from the hood of the car. The airbag was deployed upon impact, saving Noah’s life. However, several shards of sharp glass flew right at him and buried themselves deeply into his right arm. Crimson blood flowed down his white shirt before dripping onto the ground. He sat in his car and panted heavily. He was afraid. However, he was more scared that his kids would be fatherless if something really happened to him. Gwynn would be left alone and helpless with no one to back her up. Their adversaries would finally have the chance to mistreat her!Steeling his mind, he gripped the glass shards that stuck out from his arm and pulled them out in one swift moti

Noah pointed at the old man and said harshly, “Heed my advice, Archibald. There will come a day when you’ll lose your powers and glory. It’d be wiser to not make enemies of everyone around you.”That was when Archibald finally spoke. “You’re tough enough to survive it, Noah! Well, you should’ve gone straight to the police department. So, what are you doing here, making a scene?!”He knew just how to turn the old man’s word back on him. After all, he was very tough.He sneered. “I’m worried that the moment I step foot into the police department, you’ll be so concerned that you might need to take medication for your heart attack!”Instead of lingering in the conference room, he turned around and left. At this moment in time, he and Archibald had had a fallout in front of the public. There was no turning back now.He had just taken a couple of steps forward when he saw Gwynn standing outside. She looked very miserable. She was still wearing her indoor slippers, for crying out loud.

The door creaked and swung open gently. All the lights in the bedroom were turned off. It was pitch black. Gwynn didn’t realize Noah was awake until she walked over to the side of the bed. He was leaning on the headboard, staring at her profoundly. It was a little scary too. Sitting next to him, she said tenderly, “Here. Have some food. I’m going to tend to your wounds.”A soft click could be heard as the lights in the room turned on. He was staring at her with unblinking eyes. “Where are the kids?”She responded softly, “They’re already back home!”He said gently, “Do you know why I’m so pissed off? I don’t blame him for doing something to my car. However, Lorian and Holly would’ve been in the car if the accident happened earlier today. I can’t even begin to think what would’ve happened if that’s the case!”Then, he stared at her intensely. “He’ll never let us go! I’m probably going to do something that’s going to make the Templetons feel displeased, to say the least. The
