Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

As Clarence rushed out of Thirteen Hall, he shouted, “Gunther, keep up.”

Gunther stopped what he was doing and followed Clarence into the Ferrari. “What’s happened, Mr. Howard?

“What’s the hurry?”

Clarence did not have time to explain. He had wanted Emmett to help, but he had called Julian since it was an urgent matter.

“Brother Wright, do me a favor. Chadwick has taken my wife and is now on Himmel Tower’s rooftop…”

Clarence explained to him what had happened to Miranda.

Startled, Julian hurriedly comforted Clarence. “Brother Howard, don’t worry. I’ll have someone keep an eye on them and make sure Miranda’s safe.”

Gunther was surprised that Clarence’s wife was in trouble. No wonder Clarence was so worried.

Clarence drove fast, running three red lights on his way to Himmel Tower.

Himmel Tower was a 50-story building with a shopping mall, bars, karaoke clubs, and other entertainment venues.

Clarence parked far away. Chadwick had asked him to come alone, so he would probably harm Miranda if he saw Gunther.

Clarence did not dare to take any chances.

“We’ll split up. I’ll go to the rooftop and stall Chadwick first.

“Keep in touch with Brother Wright and save Miranda when you can!” ordered Clarence.

Beep beep beep! Clarence’s phone rang. He tapped the answer button. “Hello? Brother Wright, how are things?”

“I’ve looked it up, and I’ve had someone take pictures with a superzoom camera from the neighboring building.

“I’ve also sent a link to a piece of news to your phone.

“You’d better take a look at it.”

Clarence hung up on the call. He was shocked when he saw the photos Julian had sent.

In the photos, Miranda could be seen dangling from a crane above a busy street.

It was windy on the fiftieth floor. Miranda was pale and shivering in the cold.

If the rope broke, she was a dead woman.

“Damn it…”

Clarence banged his fist on the wall and clicked on the news link that Julian had also sent.

When he clicked on it, he saw that it was a news piece about Wonder Group.

The son-in-law of Wonder Group’s chairman Richard Shelby had been caught cheating.

Richard had ordered Chadwick and Cecilia to get a divorce, and they had completed the paperwork last night.

Chadwick had been kicked off Wonder Group’s board of directors and had been made to leave the marriage with nothing to his name.

Beep beep…

The phone reminded him that it was automatically shutting down due to a low battery.

Impatient, Chadwick pulled out Miranda’s phone and called Clarence.

“Hello, the person you’re calling is unavailable.”

Chadwick was furious and smashed Miranda’s phone. “F*ck. He turned off his phone!

“F*ck! Isn’t Clarence your husband?

“I kidnapped you, and he’s turned off his phone?”

Miranda let out a sad, disappointed chuckle. “We only got married by contract.”

“Married by contract? Is he just going to leave you alone, then?” Chadwick swore, looking agitated.

Miranda was upset, her eyes dark.

Though she and Clarence had no feelings for each other, they had been married for more than three years.

She had even been kidnapped because of him.

She thought Clarence would come to save her, but he had actually turned off his phone.

“Haha…”

Miranda laughed at herself.

Disappointment, loss, helplessness… All sorts of emotions exploded in Miranda’s heart, and she fell into a coma.

Clarence sprinted into Himmel Tower and was about to enter the elevator when he ran into William, who was coming out of the elevator.

“Clarence, what are you doing here?” William was surprised.

Then, his face darkened. “We’re not finished with the incident in the hospital. How dare you hit me? I’m gonna make you pay me back tenfold.” 

“F*ck off!” Clarence bellowed and kicked William out of the way.

William fell back and crashed into the wall. His body bent over in pain. “How dare you hit me? Clarence, stop right there!”

Clarence walked into the elevator and pressed the number 50.

Many people got on and off the elevator as it went up. Clarence was anxious.

When he finally reached the 50th floor, Clarence rushed out of the elevator and headed for the rooftop, where he met Chadwick and his gang.

Miranda was hanging in the distance. She was alright, though she had passed out from shock.

Clarence sighed in relief.

Chadwick was surprised to see Clarence. “I thought you weren’t coming, boy.

“But you came.”

Clarence’s face was dark. “I’m here now. Let Miranda go.”

“Let her go?

“Haha.

“Sure.

“Get down on your knees first!” Chadwick grinned. He was a little out of his mind.

Clarence stood still and did not kneel.

Chadwick grabbed a steel pipe from his lackey and smashed it on Clarence’s head.

Bang…

Blood gushed out, and Clarence’s mind instantly went blank.

Chadwick knew Clarence would not fight back, so he hit Clarence’s knees twice.

Clarence dropped to his knees in pain.

Chadwick stared down at Clarence condescendingly. “Aren’t you tough, boy?

“You’ve gone against me and spoiled my plans many times.

“I gave Richard a human skull thurible, and you let him throw it into the steel mill.

“I drugged you, yet you just sat there and didn’t touch Cecilia.

“I paid a lot of money for someone from Louisiana to perform Voodoo magic on Cecilia, yet you cracked my plans again.

“F*ck! Why are you so lucky? The car accident I plotted wasn’t even able to kill you two.” 

Chadwick was so angry that his entire face was contorted.

Now that Richard had found out about everything, he had kicked Chadwick off the Wonder Group’s board of directors and left him with nothing.

Chadwick was desperate and just wanted to get back at Clarence.

Clarence suddenly realized something. “Did you plan out me and Cecilia’s car accident?”

He and Cecilia had gotten into a car accident less than five minutes after leaving the Wright family house. Even if Jerald or Julian had wanted him dead, they would not have been able to stage an accident so quickly.

It turned out it had all been Chadwick’s doing.

Clarence had figured everything out.

Chadwick looked like he had Clarence by the short hairs. “So what?

“I found a truck driver and gave him three hundred thousand dollars.

“I didn’t realize you were so tough. The Ferrari was crushed, yet you and Cecilia are still okay.”

Chadwick said with a grim face, “Why won’t you go to hell? Once all of you die, I’ll kill Richard, so I’ll be the sole heir to Wonder Group.

“Wouldn’t it be great to own a real estate group worth tens of billions of dollars?

“Boy, what am I supposed to do with you to punish you for ruining my life?”

Chadwick lifted the steel pipe and hit Clarence on the shoulder.

Clang!

“Hisss…” Clarence gasped. He felt his shoulder blade crack.

Chadwick had no intention of sparing Clarence. He struck Clarence a second time with the steel pipe, aiming for Clarence’s head this time.

Bang…

Blood gushed out, and Clarence lay limp on the ground..
