Ronald snarled, “You’re here alone, and you call this reinforcement? Logan, do you even realize you’ve just gotten me killed?”

Logan’s face was the picture of innocence. “Got you killed? Now that’s unfair. I followed Andy’s orders to the letter and came here to save you. Do you have any idea how much danger I put myself in to get here?”

Ronald nearly lost his footing. If this were not life or death, he would have gladly stopped fighting the Driscoll family just to strangle Logan first. One by one, his men fell, cut down without mercy by the Driscoll family’s fighters.

His blood boiled as he roared, “Everyone, fight your way out of the hall! Save your lives first!”

In that instant, everything clicked in his mind like a hammer to the skull. Logan was not here to save him; he was here to drag Ronald straight to hell.

He knew Ronald was about to surrender. So, he staged a sneak attack, making the Driscoll family believe Ronald’s plea for mercy was a lie.

Once they stopped believing him, they would strike to kill. Forced into a corner, Ronald would have no choice but to fight back, locking both sides in a death spiral until one was wiped out.

The mastermind behind it all, the director of this twisted play, was none other than Andrew, the “sugar daddy.”

No, Ronald did not see him as any kind of “sugar daddy” now. He felt a chill running down his spine as he roared, “Andrew, you jinx! You’re driving me straight to my grave!”

Nonetheless, shouting did not ease the frustration clawing at his chest. He silently cursed, ‘Damn it! In the end, I’d still fallen into that bastard’s trap!’

Outside Serenity Villa, in the shadows, Andrew sneezed. He rubbed his nose and muttered, “Who the hell’s cursing me?”

Eric smirked coldly. “Ronald isn’t like Aaron. You won’t reel him in that easily. That guy is just as cunning as you.”

Andrew chuckled. “True. Catching him won’t be easy, so we’ll let him suffer at the Driscoll family’s hands first.”

Eric frowned, sensing trouble. “What did you do this time?”

Andrew just smiled and stayed silent. Moments later, Logan’s call came through.

“Andy, it’s perfect! Just like you said, Ronald’s a spineless dog! When the tide turned, he was ready to surrender. But thanks to your plan, I hit the Driscoll family from behind and made it look like Ronald was betraying them.

“Now neither side trusts the other, and the fight went full throttle. Bodies everywhere. Ronald lost badly, got hurt, and fled. He and the Driscoll family are sworn enemies now. I didn’t even have to recruit him!

“He came to me himself, saying Gabo Creek’s a big place, but you’re the only one he can count on. He swore the past is in the past, and all he wants is for you to give him and his men a place to stay.”

Andrew ended the call.

Eric stood frozen, eyes wide. Then, he shivered and stared at Andrew with genuine fear. “You dragged Ronald down with you, too? Damn… Good thing I’m on your side. I’m starting to see why Fury fell into your hands. Andrew, you’re inhuman!”
