Chapter 752
Elsie’s gaze flickered with a hint of surprise.
“Unannounced guests aren't typically welcomed at the Velvet Haven.”
“But Harvey just called. He insists we roll out the red carpet for Mr. Fairhaven.”
The underling spoke in hushed tones, “And that’s not all. Harvey also instructed
you to keep a sharp eye on Mr. Fairhaven tonight. Any slip—ups, and we need to
capture it on video as evidence.”
Having been Avery's right hand for years, Elsie grasped his intent in a heartbeat,
her reply icy, “Understood.”
Once the underling departed, she turned her complex gaze back to the screen.
Now, a convoy of luxury cars followed Jareth’s limo, storming into the
underground parking like a cavalry charge.
But those cars just parked silently in the shadows, making no further moves.
However, it gave Elsie a premonition of a storm brewing on the horizon.
Meanwhile, Gary, flushed and buoyant from drink, staggered into the parking lot
with the aid of his bodyguards. His legs were jelly; his words slurred. Yet his
mouth ran like a broken faucet, cursing the Fairhaven lineage from Jareth to
Barry, oblivious to his own ties with the Fairhaven family.
As Gary and his entourage reached the center of the parking lot, a blinding set of
headlights suddenly shone on him, forcing him to shield his eyes instinctively.
Then came a thunderous roar of an engine that echoed across the vast, empty
space.
“Mr. Fairhaven! Look out!”
J
Gary, his head swimming in booze, only realized the danger when a sleek, black
Bentley charged towards him at full speed, with no sign of slowing down, as if it
intended to mow him down right there!
In the nick of time, not a single soul stepped in front of Gary — they all scattered
like rats from a sinking ship!
“Ah! Stop! Don’t come any closer, Ahhh!”
A scream tore through the chilly air! The Bentley screeched to a halt just half a
meter from Gary, bumping against his beer belly to the extent where even though
the impact didn't send him far away, it made him tumble a few meters before he
crashed to the ground.
“Ugh!” Pain surged through him, and he vomited up the gourmet feast from
earlier, covering himself in its foulness.
In agony, he manage to scramble to his feet, retreating and retching, “What are
you waiting for?! Get them!”
Before the echo faded, a dozen thugs in black, armed with machetes, emerged
from the shadows, encircling them. While stepping into the light first, and into
Gary's bloodshot view, was a face of stunning beauty yet deadly intent — Lily!
Realization dawned on Gary, and he frantically reached for his phone, shouting in
panic, “What are you still waiting for?! Get them now!”
His henchmen, seeing no escape, braced themselves and charged. Under the
cloak of night, screams and the sound of snapping bones filled the air. The vast
parking lot turned into a grim battlefield.
Silence fell. Amidst a pool of blood, Gary lay battered and bloodied, his
expensive suit shredded to ribbons. He knelt like a dog, with Lily's elegant leg
pressing down on his back, pinning him to the ground as he pleaded In pain.
Dean respectfully opened the car door, Jareth stepped out, his tall, imposing
frame effortlessly commanding the blood stained ground. He walked over to Gary
and stood still; his presence alone sent shivers down one’s spine
Chapter 752
“Uncle Gary,” he sneered, his voice cold and dark.
Gary trembled uncontrollably, chilled to the bone. He used to resent this young
man for not respecting his elder. Now, hearing him call “Uncle, Gary felt nothing
but dread.
“Jareth, we're family. I watched you grow up, boy!”
Gary's arrogance had vanished, replaced by desperate pleading, “Let's talk this
out; everything's negotiable, right?”
“Fine. Let's talk.” Jareth’s eyes were void of light, his tone casual, “Dean, bring it
out.”
“Yes, Mr. Jareth Fairhaven.”
Dean pulled out a share transfer agreement from his briefcase and crouched
down, offering it to Gary, “Mr. Gary Fairhaven, please sign and thumbprint here.”
Gary watched the document with bloodshot eyes, realizing he couldn't play the
shrinking turtle any longer. He pounded the ground, yelling, “Jareth, this is
extortion! You're robbing me in broad daylight!”
“I am, so what?” Jareth smirked without humor, his eyes dreadfully chilling,
“Compared to what you did to my wife, this is nothing. But I'll make an effort. The
old give way to the new, right?”
Gary's face twisted in rage, his mouth twitching uncontrollably. How could he sign
this document? Signing it meant being cast out of the Fairhaven Group forever,
with no chance for a comeback. It was a fate worse than
death!
“Jareth, you're not a mob prince anymore; you're the CEO of the Fairhaven
Group! This is abuse of power, your
CEO seat is on the line.”
He couldn't finish his sentence before a flash of steel caught his eye! In a swift
motion, Jareth snatched the machete from Lily and chopped off Gary's right arm!
“Ahll” Gary's scream was agonizing.
Lily and Dean, along with all of Jareth’s men, watched unfazed. This was the
Jareth they knew, a man of few words but decisive action.
His relationship with Ms. Abernathy had softened the devilish Mr. Jareth
Fairhaven, making him more humane. But Gary, in his folly, had turned Mr. Jareth
Fairhaven back into a demon.
Jareth pressed Gary's severed arm into the blood on the ground to leave a
thumbprint on the document, and then tossed the limb aside with disgust.
The thumbprint is done. As for your signature, I can forge that. Thanks for your
generosity, Uncle Gary. From now on, I'm the second-largest shareholder of the
Fairhaven Group, right after Barry Fairhaven. Leave one hand for yourself, so
you can wipe your own ass,” the man said with a nonchalant air of superiority,
sliding back into his car. Like shadows, Lily and her crew vanished without a
trace.
Left writhing in pain and clinging to life, Gary lay there, clutching his severed arm,
“Jareth, you'll pay for this! The suffering I've endured today, I'll reclaim it from you
a hundredfold, a thousandfold!”

In the room, Elsie watched the doctored surveillance footage on her computer,
her fingers trembling with tension. In this version, Jareth didn't exist.
Suddenly, a rhythmic knocking on the door broke the silence. Elsie quickly shut
her laptop and went to answer

Elsie looked around anxiously and quickly pulled the guard into the room, locking
the door behind them.
“Thank you. I know there's a lot at stake with this task, but don’t worry. If anything
goes south, I'll take the fall. You'll walk away unscathed.”

Touched, Elsie managed only a wry smile, “Then I should thank you too. True
loyalty is a rare commodity in the Velvet Haven.”
The guard blushed, his worries surfacing again, “But Ms. Archer, why risk so
much for Jareth? Is he worth it?"
“Is it worth it? I don’t know. I just follow my heart,” Elsie’s eyes were clouded with
complexity.
The guard ventured cautiously, “You have a thing for Mr. Fairhaven?”
