Chapter 999

She spotted the man on a corner seat. His fair and clean-looking hands were holding a steaming coffee mug gracefully.

She looked up at the man’s face, but under the dim lighting, his face was concealed by the darkness.

Lana was unconvinced. She sneaked up to the second floor so that she could find a good position to take a closer look at the man’s face. However, when she was about to look up, she heard her phone ringing.

The man was drinking his coffee when he suddenly froze. Then, he glared at Yorick coldly.

Yorick went downstairs and spotted Lana who was trying to go upstairs.

“Why are you here?” Yorick asked, trying to pull Lana downstairs while she was trying to go up.

Lana struggled in dissatisfaction. “It’s him, right? Who is he? How dare he order you around?”

“It’s best you don’t speak before you think,” Yorick warned.

“Hmph.” Lana scoffed cockily. “Yorick, what’s wrong? You’re the leader of the Stygian Johnsons and you’re taking orders from another person? I have to see who that person is!”

Slap!

“Ah!”

Lana had never experienced such a painful slap before. Plus, it had come from Yorick himself.

She could feel the corners of her lips heating up as she tasted the metallic taste of blood in her mouth.

“Get lost now!” Yorick ordered.

Lana gritted her teeth in dissatisfaction but could only leave.

After Yorick watched Lana left, he went back to the cafe and locked the door before going upstairs again.

The man who was sitting on his spot said while remaining calm and collected, “Your sister never learns from her mistakes. If you can’t put her in her place, I’m more than happy to help you.”

“I’ll watch her. There will be no next time.”

“If there is?” The man’s voice was as gentle as the moonlight outside the window. However, there was an obvious tone of threat in his words.

Yorick’s face fell. “Um…”

“I don’t like opinionated women. She thinks she’s so beautiful and charming. I wonder where she got her confidence to believe that Jeremy Whitman will fall in love with her? Don’t you know what kind of person Jeremy is? How could he possibly fall for a woman like your sister?”

The man’s voice was unhurried.

“The only person in Glendale who’s worthy of Jeremy Whitman is Eveline Montgomery.

“However, unfortunately, they’re getting a divorce,” the man said with pity in his eyes.

“Actually, Jeremy loves her very much, but your sister has done something stupid.”

“…”

“Watch her closely. If not, your sister will end up like Mr. and Mrs. Montgomery.”

The man’s words were filled with blatant threats.

Yorick nodded and went back.

When he got back, he saw that everything in the house had been smashed and thrown all over the place.

Lana was throwing a fit while Fabian was watching at one side indifferently.

Lana barged over to Yorick when she saw him. “Yorick Johnson, tell me, who’s that man?”

“It’s best if you don’t ask. If you don’t want to bring any trouble to yourself, you should go back to F Country,” said Yorick.

“Hmph! How interesting! Even the leader of Stygian Johnson Gang has someone he fears?” Lana touched her swollen and bleeding lip. “Then I have to see who this man is!”
