Tysonâs face twisted into a sinister grin as he imagined the dagger plunging into Yvetteâs body.
âOh, youâre courting death.â Yvetteâs words were cold, laced with a deadly threat.
Her next movements were so fast they were a blur, and by the time the crowd realized what had happened, the dagger was already in her hand.
âHâHow did she do that?â The audience was once again stunned, shivering in disbelief.
Tyson was equally shocked, his crazed grin frozen in place. When his eyes met Yvetteâs murderous gaze, fear gripped him, and he immediately begged for mercy âIâm sorry. Please, spare meâ¦â
âToo late.â With that, Yvette flicked the dagger from her hand. It flew straight into Tysonâs hand, embedding itself deep.
If Yvette hadnât been quick and prepared, she couldâve been killed by this very dagger. But Yvette wasnât one to let things slideâshe had to make sure Tyson paid for what he tried to do.
Tysonâs agonized scream echoed through the underground boxing ring, making the onlookers sigh in pity.
âHis tendons are severed. Heâs a cripple now,â someone said.
âMr. Scott is here!â
Jaredâs face turned smug as if heâd just seen his savior. He rushed toward Richard and said, âDad, you came just in time! This bitch just crippled the King of the Ring. Youâve got to teach her a lesson!â
Tyson was known for his viciousness. Each of his fights was brutal and ruthless. His savage style attracted wealthy thrillâseekers, bringing significant profits to the underground boxing ring.
Now that Tyson was crippled, the losses would be enormous. If Jared couldnât handle Yvette, surely Richard could.
âDad, that bitch came to our turf and wrecked the place. We need to teach her a lessonâAh!â
Jaredâs rant was abruptly cut off by a sharp slap across his face, making his head buzz.
âShut your mouth, dumbass!â
Jared had never been hit by Richard before, nor had he heard him speak in such a harsh tone.
âDad, what are you doing? Why did you hit me? Sheâs the one who came to our boxing ring and caused trouble-â
âShut up!â Richard yelled once more, cutting him off with a murderous glare. âDonât forget what I warned you aboutânever cross anyone with a golden invitation letter.â
Jared scoffed, dismissing Richardâs concern. âHow could a girl like her possibly have one of those invitations? She mustâve stolen it. Dad, we donât have to be afraid of a little brat.â
âWhy did I raise such an idiot?â Richard was so furious that he raised his hand to strike Jared again.
But when he met Yvetteâs icy gaze, his legs went weak, and he dropped to his knees before her, his tone utterly servile.
âPlease donât be angry. Itâs all my worthless sonâs fault. I promise Iâll punish him severely.â
The onlookers were stunned, their eyes nearly popping out of their sockets.
âWhy is Richard kneeling to her?â
âYeah, Isnât Richard the kingpin of the underground world? Yet heâs kneeling before a young woman? This Is unbelievable!â
But no matter how shocked the crowd was, Richard remained respectfully on his knees. âAs soon as i heard someone with a golden invitation had arrived, I rushed over immediately. I never imagined it would be you. You should have informed me soonerâI would have been here to welcome you.â
C settle our score later. For now, keep your mouths shut, and donât reveal my identity in front of them.â
âOf course! Master Xev, I swear, I wonât say a word.â Richard nodded frantically, By the time he finished speaking, Wilson had already reached Yvette. The sight of blood on her hands made his already striking features darken with an ominous fury.
âDonât worry. Itâs not my blood,â Yvette quickly assured him.
Wilsonâs expression softened slightly at her words, and he pulled out a handkerchief, carefully wiping her hands clean.
Yvette felt a warm flutter in her chest, but her thoughts were still on Madison, who was unconscious.
Noticing her concern, Wilson turned to Samuel and ordered, âTake her to the car and get her to the hospital.â
âYes, Mr. Quinn,â Samuel responded respectfully Seeing this, Richardâs face twisted in confusion. âWhy is Mr. Quinn being so gentle with her?â
Collin said eagerly, âLet me fill you inâsheâs Collinâs fiancée.â
The moment those words registered, Richardâs legs weakened and he could barely keep himself upright.
Still, Collin wasnât finished. With a mischievous grin, he added, âOh, and by the way, sheâs also Jacobâs precious sister.â
Richardâs knees buckled and he nearly fainted. He was utterly doomed.
Master Xev had many other identities, and Richard couldnât afford to offend any of them.
A quick 15 minutes later, the car came to a smooth stop at the hospital.
Wilson, fully aware of how worried Yvette was about Madison, had already taken care of everything.
As soon as they arrived, Madison was rushed into the emergency room.
Thankfully, Yvette had arrived just in time; Madisonâs injuries were only superficial, with no threat to her life.
âJacob.â The call connected immediately when Yvette dialed for Jacob.
âYvie, whatâs the matter? Why are you calling me?â he asked in surprise. This was the first time his precious sister had ever called him.
Yvette didnât bother with small talk. âJacob, I want you to withdraw your investment in the Robertson family.â
She had just confirmed that the Murray family was the Robertson familyâs largest investor. If they pulled out, the Roberstons would be in immediate financial trouble.
Without any hesitation or questions, Jacob agreed. âAlright, Yvie. Iâll take care of it right away.â
Yvetteâs lips curved into a slight smile. âThank you, Jacob.â
On the other end of the line, Jacob replied gleefully, âThereâs no need to thank me.â
Madison, who had been lying in the hospital bed, had woken up at some point. After seeing that Yvetteâs phone conversation had ended, she softly called out, âYvieâ¦â
Noticing Madisonâs weak state, the coldness in Yvetteâs eyes deepened. She had already pieced everything together. Most of Madisonâs injuries were inflicted by Alice, who then had her thrown into the underground boxing ring.
âDonât worry. Iâll make sure they pay for what they did. Pulling out the investment is just the start.
Focus on recovering. Once youâre better, Iâll let you take your revenge,â Yvette said gently.
Tears welled up in Madisonâs eyes as she uttered, âThank you, Yvie.â
Alice was busy unwinding in a beauty salon, maintaining the poised demeanor of a lady from high society -but her mind was swirling with vicious thoughts.
She was absolutely glowing at the thought of Madison suffering a fate worse than death in the underground boxing ring. That was her punishment for crossing Alice.
The next person Alice was going to punish was Yvette. She had humiliated her too many times.
Chaplet 403 Alice was determined to make Yvette payâmore severely than Madison.
Before she could finalize her plans against Yvette, however, her mother burst into the salon in a panic and grabbed her arm.
âAlice, hurry! We need to get to the Murray family.â
Startled, Alice asked, âMom, whatâs wrong? Why do we need to go to the Murray family?â
âDonât even ask! The Murray family suddenly pulled their Investment from our company, and now the Robertson familyâs business is in serious trouble.
âWe have to go to the Murray familyâ and beg them to reconsider. You need to come with us. Iâve heard Ms. Murray is about your age and very wellâloved. You have to get close to her, so sheâll speak up for us!â
Understanding the urgency, Alice quickly nodded. âDonât worry, Mom. Iâll make sure to get on the good side of Ms. Murray.â
No matter what it took, Alice would find a way to win the favored Murray daughter over.
