Chapter 14
Gabriel was taking over Horacio’s territories after his death and had an appointment with several
bigshots at the Nightyan Bar tonight. He came over to have a look when he was informed that there
was a fight in the bar. He was just fretting about not having a chance to establish his intimidation and
authority, yet one came knocking on his door. That threw him over the moon! Blood left Sadie’s face.
‘Gabriel? Why him!? He’s Horacio’s godson!’ Without question, Gabriel would be replacing Horacio
after the latter died. She was not expecting to pull this man into the picture either. Sh*t was going
down!” “Which damned—” Gabriel looked toward where Kayson was, and his expression froze. The
rejoice he felt left him in the blink of an eye. ‘K-Kayson!?’ It was as if a bucket of ice was dumped over
Gabriel’s head as he paled visibly. He was just going to call out “Mr. Yarde” and went over to bow

“Gabriel! Gabe! Be the judge of this! He is disrespecting you! You’ve got to teach him a lesson!” Gabriel
felt tingles on his head. He would love to slap Pete to his death right now. That sc*m, did he want him
to be Horacio’s company? While Gabriel was caught in a dilemma, he spotted Sadie standing next to
Kayson and suddenly had an idea. He marched forward and kicked Pete. “Who the f*ck asked you to
offend Ms. Wolfenden? Don’t you know that she’s a famous entrepreneur in our city? “A sc*m like you
isn’t worthy of coveting her!” “Ah! I’m wrong, Gabe! I’m wrong!” “Annoying! Guys! Drag him out and give
him a good beating!” barked Gabriel. Sadie and Easton were baffled. The latter, especially, wondered
since when was Sadie so influential that the infamous Gabriel was so respectful of her. Gabriel bowed
courteously. “Ms. Wolfenden, my underlings don’t know better. Don’t mind them.” Sadie was a little
stupefied. “I-It’s okay… You’re too polite, Mr. Bayfield…” Gabriel did not dare look at Kayson and
braced himself to keep saying, “Ms. Wolfenden, let me buy your drinks tonight. Feel free to visit any of
the places under my care, for free!” “Huh?” Sadie was lost. What was going on? “Well, Ms. Wolfenden,
I still have things to take care of. I’ll leave you to enjoy the night!” Gabriel did not want to stay a moment
longer as he snapped at the crowd and dissipated them before hurrying upstairs. “Ms. Sade, you’re
amazing!” exclaimed Easton. “R-Really…” Sadie was still dazed. At that moment, Kayson spoke up.
“Gabriel is scared of me. You guys don’t have to worry about him in the future.” That jolted Sadie as
she snapped her head to glare at him. “Stop bullsh*tting, will you? If Gabriel hears you, we’ll be in
trouble if he goes back on his word!” “I’m telling the truth!” retorted Kayson. Sadie chuckled coldly.
“Would Gabriel know who a bumpkin like you is? Stop flattering yourself!” Kayson gave up on arguing.
She could believe whatever she wanted. Easton kept quiet as he contemplated on the side. Sadie lost
her mood to drink and dismissed Easton before going home with Kayson. Once she arrived at the
mansion, Liam summoned her to his study. Liam started grimly. “I’ve heard that Dickinson International
has internally decided to be given to the Gillete Group…” “W-What do we do then? Won’t our efforts be

Tinsley Sr. is having a birthday party in Clouspring the day after tomorrow. Your grandfather’s contacted
Mr. Johnson Zigler and asked for a favor to get us the invitation.” Sadie wondered in worry, “Will Mr.
Zigler really help us?” “He promised verbally. I think he will,” said Liam. The father and daughter were
disheartened. Sadie was even more so when she returned to her room and saw Kayson on the floor.
The next day when Kayson went to the office, Easton was even more respectful to him. After work, he
went back to the mansion in Sadie and Liam’s car. The father and daughter seemed to have run into
some good news as they were in a good mood. They got Hugh to the study once they arrived home.
Liam announced, “Dad, we’ve gotten the invitations to Mr. Tinsley Sr.’s birthday party!” Hugh was
delighted as well. “Really? It seems that Johnson still acknowledges the favor from back then.” “We get
to attend Mr. Tinsley Sr.’s birthday party tomorrow and have the chance to talk to him!” Sadie cheered
happily. “That’s right. But it’s too bad there are only four invitations!” Hugh sighed. He wanted to take
Kayson along otherwise. Sadie frowned. “Grandpa, why do you keep thinking of him? It’d be
embarrassing to take him to an important event like this!” “Embarrassing? Kayson’s pretty decent!”
Sadie was not in the mood to argue, so she headed straight to her room.
