Meanwhile, the half-dead Hammond was tossed into the middle of nowhere by his bodyguards.


    With hisst ounce of energy, he dialed Yuna’s number, “Maurice has found out that Hayes is Marguerite’s son. You better watch your back.”


    At this moment, Yuna was on her way to Frederick’s study. She intended to apologize to him for the morning’s mishap.


    Dressed in a breezy outfit and carrying a te of homemade cookies, she was startled by Hammond’s words and dropped the cookies on the floor.


    Without cleaning up, she ran back to her room, fuming, “You said you would help me. What the hell happened?”


    Hammond’s voice was very weak, “Don’t worry, I know Maurice. He won’t tell Marguerite until thest minute. You better prepare yourself. And after this, don’te looking for me anymore. Because of you, I’m now a broken man. The only thing I regret in this life, is siding with you!”


    As he spoke, Hammond’s words grew increasingly resentful.


    He now knew very well that being close to Yuna would bring misfortune! He himself was the living proof! Unfortunately, he realized this toote!


    In these deste outskirts, he had no idea whether he would survive.


    Even if he did manage to hang on, there would be no ce for him in Stonebridge City!


    What hurt him the most was that Janie, in order to interrogate him, had castrated him. Looking down at his mutted genital, Hammond was filled with regret.


    Ignoring Yuna’s screams on the phone, he coldly hung up and began to drag his battered body around, aimlessly looking for signs of life.


    On the other end, Yuna was frantically pacing her room.


    Maurice knew that Hayes was Marguerite’s child! And what was worse, they were now living under the same roof!


    With them bumping into each other constantly, it was only a matter of time before Maurice spilled the truth to Marguerite!


    “Would I still be able to enjoy my luxurious life then?!” Yuna worried.


    In her desperation, Yuna thought of Barnes. Even though the man posed a great threat to her, she had no other choice but to turn to him!


    She immediately dialed Barnes’ number, who picked up almost instantly, “Well, have youe to your senses?”


    “Get rid of Hayes. Name your price!”


    Barnesughed, hisughter wicked and chilling, “Money? I’ve got plenty of it now. What I really want, is you.”


    Yuna gritted her teeth in anger, “How dare you!”


    “Sweetheart, third time’s the charm! Next time youe to me, I might not be so amodating!”


    Yuna’s face turned red with rage. But then, a more meticulous n began to form in her mind.


    Perfect! Barnes liked to threaten her, right? Then she would let him taste the consequences of threatening her!


    In an instant, a sinister and ruthless light shone in Yuna’s eyes.


    She took a deep breath, and said calmly, “Give me your location. I’ll be there soon.”


    Hayes, Barnes… those who threaten her position, she would make sure they pay dearly, and no one could escape! Especially Hayes, she would make him disappear from Marguerite’s life in the most brutal way imaginable!
