Chapter 2

Author: Havian
Brandon hissed, "Where did this hick come from? Did you bring this little beggar here? Do you have any idea who I am? Do you know who gave me this island?"

Watching Emily struggle in agony without her medication, my eyes instantly turned bloodshot as I growled, "I told you to get your foot off it, but you actually kicked the inhaler into the ocean?"

Brandon raised his chin, staring at me with open provocation. "So what if I did? Where the hell is security?! Throw these two pieces of trash into the ocean and let the sharks deal with them!"

Marcus, whom I kicked away earlier, scrambled to his feet and immediately brought about seven bodyguards to surround us.

He bowed apologetically to Brandon. "Mr. Wilson, please calm down. I'll deal with these two troublemaking lunatics right away!"

Then, he spun around and barked at me arrogantly, "Arthur! Do you really think you're somebody special? I used to call you Mr. Lambert out of respect for Ms. Wynter, and now you actually think you bought this island? This is just a toy Ms. Wynter uses to keep Mr. Wilson happy. Who the hell do you think you are?"

I was so furious I actually laughed. I spent 300million dollars and hired a top-tier team to transform this place, all so Emily would have a peaceful place to recover.

And now it became a plaything for Cassie to entertain her boy toy?

"Where's Cassie? Tell her to get her ass out here."

When Brandon heard that, he looked me up and down with contempt. "You delusional loser, you really think you're someone special, huh? A nobody like you thinks you deserve to see the CEO?"

As he spoke, he strode over and jabbed his finger into my chest. "You think you can call her Cassie? She's my fiancée! A worthless loser like you isn't even fit to carry her shoes!"

I grabbed his finger and twisted it hard.

Brandon dropped to his knees, cold sweat instantly pouring down his face. "Let go! It's broken! My finger is broken!"

The surrounding bodyguards rushed at me, trying to restrain me. However, I kicked them one by one into the ocean. I crawled out of piles of corpses in United Zahara, so dealing with these amateurs was child's play.

Just as I was about to break Brandon's other hand, a helicopter roared down and landed on the helipad.

The cabin door opened, and Cassie stepped out. She looked at Brandon with nothing but concern in her eyes.

The moment Brandon saw her, he burst into tears as if he found his savior. "Cassie! This lunatic is trying to kill me! He broke my finger, you have to have him beaten to death!"

Cassie turned her head, and that face that was already cold as ice toward me on normal days now looked even grimmer. "Arthur, have you lost your mind? Didn't I tell you I had important guests to entertain today and not to come here and cause trouble? Stalking me is one thing, but you actually hurt Brandon? Are you trying to ruin your own life?!"

    Harris's expression became somewhat peculiar. "About that influencer Brandon. He's having a very fulfilling time in the United Zahara prison. Every day, he has to wash laundry for 100 inmates, clean the toilets, and perform various tricks in exchange for food.""Because of his looks, he's quite 'popular' with certain inmates who have particular preferences. Apparently, he's already had a mental breakdown and spends all day crying and calling for Cassie. Prince Khalid wanted to know if you'd like to put him out of his misery?"I shook my head. "No need. Let him live. Let him properly enjoy his life."Some debts could never be repaid by death alone. I wanted him alive, day after day, year after year, paying the price for his past cruelty.Harris understood what I meant, bowed respectfully, and turned to leave.Life on the island returned to peace once more. I took most of the assets from selling off the Wynter Group. I established a charitable foundation in my parents' and Emily's n

    "No, you're lying! You're lying to me!" Cassie screamed, lunging at the phone to smash it.The female guards held her down firmly."Whether I'm lying or not, you know the truth yourself," I said as I pocketed my phone and turned to leave."Arthur, stop right there! Kill me! Just kill me now!" she shrieked hysterically behind me.For someone as proud as she was, being betrayed by her own family and reduced to a disposable pawn hurt far more than death ever could.I did not turn back. Killing her would be too easy.I wanted her to live, to stay conscious. I wanted her to watch as I avenged my parents, and as the Wynter family crumbled completely before her eyes.I wanted her to spend the rest of her life drowning in regret and despair.When I reached the door, I paused without turning around. "Oh, I forgot to tell you. Brandon's been charged with multiple crimes. He attempted to escape from custody, so he's been extradited to United Zahara. Prince Khalid says he really appreciate

    My hand gripping the teacup suddenly tightened. Scalding tea splashed onto the back of my hand, but I felt nothing.Cassie watched my reaction, a flash of triumphant satisfaction crossing her eyes. She said, "20 years ago, your father, Richard Lambert, was Haven City's most famous genius designer, and my father, Bobby Wynter, was just his assistant. Your father was incredibly talented and designed a revolutionary piece of jewelry called Eternal Heart that caught the Zaharan Royal Family's attention." "They were prepared to buy the exclusive rights for an astronomical price. My father was jealous of your father's talent, so he pulled some strings behind the scenes. He stole the design, registered the patent first, and then accused your father of plagiarism.""Your father's reputation was destroyed overnight. He was blacklisted from the industry and saddled with massive penalty fees. Your mother was pregnant with your sister at the time and couldn't handle the shock, and she hemorrha

    Three days later, Emily finally pulled through and was moved out of the ICU into a regular hospital room. Though her body was still very weak, her consciousness returned.When she saw me, tears welled up in her clear eyes. She gripped my hand tightly, her lips moving but unable to form words.I tucked the blanket around her. "Emily, it's okay. It's all over now. Just focus on recovering, and I'll handle everything else."Emily nodded, still looking exhausted.Just then, there was a knock on the hospital room door. Harris walked in, his expression somewhat strange."Mr. Lambert, Cassie wants to see you. She's on a hunger strike in detention, all just to see you once."I frowned slightly. "No.""She says," Harris paused, "she says she knows a secret about your parents, and if you don't see her, you'll regret it for the rest of your life."My heart sank heavily. My parents were the deepest wound in my heart. Emily and I grew up in an orphanage, with no memory of our parents. I tri

    I smiled but did not say anything.Who was I exactly? I was the man who carried Prince Khalid out of a mountain of corpses on the battlefield in United Zahara. I was the person who could make a country reduce its oil production with just a few words and shake global oil prices.I was the worthless loser in Cassie's eyes.Just then, the officer, Harris Freeman, walked over and handed me a tablet. He reported, "Mr. Lambert, as you instructed, all of the Wynter Group's online and offline assets have been frozen. Company ownership has been forcibly acquired through the secondary market and transferred to the offshore fund under your name."All properties and jewelry under her name, including the gifts she gave to that man, have been seized. The inventory is here. Additionally, the royal legal department has officially filed lawsuits against the Wynter Group and all responsible parties, with charges including commercial fraud, endangering national energy security, and attempted murder."

    The livestream chat exploded with comments.[I recognize that crest! That's the super-wealthy royal family from United Zahara! Oh my!][What's going on? Are they filming a movie? Brandon's stream is going this big?][Something's wrong! Look at those soldiers! They're fully armed!]Before anyone could recover from their shock, the lead helicopter was already hovering above the beach. Then, the cabin door slid open, and multiple rope ladders dropped down. The soldiers' combat boots hit the soft sand with uniform, heavy thuds that carried a chilling sense of authority.The man leading them walked straight up to me and gave a sharp, formal salute. "Mr. Lambert! By order of Prince Khalid, the First Royal Special Operations Unit is reporting for duty!"His voice was loud and commanding, leaving no room for doubt. "The medical team is on standby, and the surrounding waters have been fully secured. We're just awaiting your orders!"Cassie staggered back a step, staring at me in disbelie
