Chapter 253
Yuri had a curious look on his face. Who did our sister marry? Who’s the lucky one this time?”
“Leonardo Langford, Samuel said without hiding anything.
Before Yuri could react, he had already taken a few steps before abruptly turning around. “Who?”
“Leonardo, Samuel repeated.
“Are you sure you don’t have a fever?”
r? Yuri walked back and touched Samuel’s forehead.
“What? Do you think my sister is not good enough for Leonardo?” Samuel narrowed his eyes.
“That’s not true!” Yuri laughed. “But is this for real?”
“You’ll find out soon… The wedding reception will be held at our home.” Samuel sat back in his chair. “My sister has a strong personality. She has to be ahead of us in everything we do, so it’s only natural for her to marry before us.”
“How exciting… You’re all family now”
w” Yuri appeared ecstatic. “How about the Turner Corporation investment?”
“I don’t need his help. Samuel was a man with a strong ego. He couldn’t and wouldn’t beg Leonardo for assistance because of their current relationship. This is the only way he can ensure his sister’s status in their family.
“Don’t be upset. When you overlook this relationship, the two companies are still working together.” Yuri tried to convince him
otherwise.
Meanwhile, in the base of the Taibbi family’s gang.
“How are you enjoying your two days off, Zach?” Spike unexpectedly showed up to see Zachary
Zachary was flattered. “Mr. Taibbi! I’m sorry for causing you trouble.”
“There is no such thing as trouble. To be more specific, this situation was entirely my fault. When Silas Cox left, he took too many hidden dangers with him. Now that he wants to target me, he can only do so by targeting you guys.” Spike patted Zachary on the
shoulder.
“I need you to pick up a piece of merchandise later in the afternoon. It’s a little troublesome. You must exercise extreme caution. Can you pull it off?”
Zachary hurriedly nodded. “You I can always rely on me, Mr. Taibbi!”
Spike nodded with satisfaction.
Although it was only a small deal this time, he was using it to put Zachary to the test. If Zachary did a good job on the small deal this time, he would bring Zachary along for all future big deals. When Silas left, he realized he had no one that he could rely on. That was why he must train someone to take Silas‘ place as soon as possible. Silas became arrogant after working with him for so long. “Who know Silas would dare to start a new business with the resources I had? What audacity” Spike scoffed inwardly.

“I’m hoping you’ll be able to adjust quickly. You will be working for me from now on, and as long as you do well, I will not treat you poorly!” Spike said
“Thank you very much, Mr. Taibbi. I’ll do my best! Zachary hurriedly nodded.
Spike was satisfied and turned to leave.
“Spike is gradually letting go of his vigilance, Zachary thought as he took a deep breath. “It won’t be long before I get what Henry
wants.”
Zachary was concerned after sending a message to Henry.
“Spike is an overly cautious individual. He must have thought of a safe way out. Henry and I would be in danger if our plan failed.” Zachary was unconcerned about himself as it made no difference to him if he lost his life.
“However, Henry… Zachary rubbed his temples, his mind racing. “Henry is also a pitiful soul” After a while of getting along, he realized he didn’t hate Henry anymore,
[Keep it going] That was Henry’s response to Zachary,
at the future might hold.
Zachary deleted the message, lay on his bed, and began to contemplate the future as he did not know what
He had already dealt with Spike, Silas, and Hazel Locke. All that was left was to settle things with Ashley.
He didn’t see why he should continue to be by Josie’s side. After everything was said and done, he would leave this city and roam around freely.
At Silas’s residence.
“I’m back, Silas,” Sergio announced when he arrived home. He finally returned after years of hiding outside.
Sergio was imprisoned for several years following the car accident involving the now–deceased Hayden Gibson and Kathy Yates. He was sent abroad by Hazel and Silas after his release.
“How come you can’t even learn to behave yourself, especially when we’re all in trouble?” Silas reprimanded angrily, with a deep frown on his face and a cigarette in his hand.
“I’m already at this age. How many more years do you want me to stay outside? Sergio smoked a cigarette as well. “I don’t want to go out anymore. I want to marry Hazel and start a family.”
“Marriage?” Silas gave an ironic smile. “Is that woman even interested in marrying you? You’re se gullible.”
“Don’t say that about her. Hazel used to be very kind, Sergio frowned.
“Only you believe that,” Silas sighed. “The case against Hayden and Kathy was never closed, and the prosecution period has not yet ended; please be more cautious and don’t let Hazel take advantage of you again.”
ng to fear anymore.” Sergio said quietly
“I know. The prosecution period will soon be over. I be free soon. I have nothing to
He spoke once more. “About the car accident, Hazel simply told me to stop Hayden and Kathy from returning to Hofcaster. Hayden’s

death was actually the result of my s selfishness”
“You’re such a gullible fool! Hazel has manipulated and exploited you, and yet you’re still here defending her,” Silas scoffed in disbelief.
“If something really does happen, I will be solely responsible. I’m not going to let Hazel get involved, Sergio said as he was still protecting Hazel.
“You fool!” Silas was at a loss for words with his brother.
“If Sergio found Hazel would do anything for money, including having an affair with me, he’d probably go insane.” Silas didn’t want to provoke Sergio, so he put out the cigarette butt and stood up to leave.
At Henry’s residence.
“Sergeant Jennings, Sergio has returned to the country.” Henry examined the photo in his hand, which he discovered after asking someone to look into Hazel.
Caden Jennings had never

up on Hayden’s case, so he was well aware of the situation. “What are your plans?”
“Zachary has earned Spike’s trust. As long as there is fatal evidence against Spike, the police will have him arrested,” Henry spoke in
a hoarse voice.
“Yeah,” Caden spoke once more. “It’s dangerous, and you’re not a cop; Zachary is now also my informant, so I have to protect him.
“I’ll see to it that he’s safe, Henry said as he had no other option.
“But who will keep you safe? Sergio, Spike, and Hazel are all insane. You- Caden was at a loss for words because he felt sorry for Henry.
“The child born of two lunatics…” He was concerned that Henry’s actions were too extreme.
“Sergeant Jennings, all you have to do is promise me that you will not let any of the bad guys go free, this will allow Josie’s parents to rest in peace, and Spike and Hazel will receive the punishment they deserve. Just leave everything else to me.” Henry said before taking a deep breath
“I still want to warn you, Henry. Don’t go too far. Your life is far too enviable. Everything must adhere to the law. I will arrest you if you dare to break the law!” Caden wished Henry would keep his cool.
Henry said nothing but smiled weakly.
Nobody could stop him from doing what he had decided to do.
“Spike’s men attempted to harm Ashley and threatened her with videos. This is also proof. Please keep it safe, Sergeagt Jennings.”
“You knew Spike’s men were going to make a move on Ashley- Caden couldn’t stand on the moral high ground and blame Henry.
but he was a cop!
“Some people cannot be sanctioned by the law; they must be harassed by someone else of like mind. Henry sneered

“It had been a while since Ashley framed Jeremy. Even if the case was turned over now, there was no evidence to prove Ashley’s guilt. Besides, Ashley was still a minor at the time. Therefore, no one could convict Ashley. She was extremely cautious. Thomas was the conduit for everything she did to Josie. In the end, as long as Thomas takes the blame, she is free to go.” Henry was deep in thought. He couldn’t let that happen, Even if he went to hell, he would still take Ashley with him.
“Henry, you must remain rational, especially now that everything is improving and Josie’s condition is stabilizing.” Caden sighed.
