Chapter 752
Elsie’s gaze flickered with a hint of surprise.
“Unannounced guests aren’t typically weed 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 herplex 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!”

Gary, his head swimming in booze, only realized the danger when a sleek, ck 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’te 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 ck, 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, Garyy 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 uncontrobly, 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, reced 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 y 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 uncontrobly. How could he sign this document?
Signing it meant being cast out of the Fairhaven Group forever, with no chance for aeback. 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 sh of steel caught his eye! In a swift motion, Jareth snatched
the machete from Lily and chopped off Gary’s right arm!
“Ah!!” 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 rtionship 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 secondrgest 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 nonchnt 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, Garyy there, clutching his severed arm, “Jareth, you’ll pay for
this! The suffering I’ve endured today, I’ll reim it from you a hundredfold, a thousandfold!”
After Gary was whisked away, the Velvet Haven’s parking lot was a scene of chaos. Soon enough, two
janitors arrived with mops and buckets, wiping the crime scene spotless with swift strokes, erasing any
sign that something had ever happened.
In the room, Elsie watched the doctored surveince footage on herputer, 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 herptop and went to
answer

Ms. Archer, as per your instructions, we’ve cleaned up the scene, said the strikingly handsome guard,
his demeanor one of utmost respect

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.”
The guard frowned, “Ms. Archer, you shouldn’t even say that. Had it not been for you speaking on my
behalf two years ago, Mr. Chambers would’ve had my head! I owe you my life. It’s only right that I do
this for you!”
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 withplexity.
The guard ventured cautiously, “You have a thing for Mr. Fairhaven?”
“Where did your mind wander off to?” Elsie let out augh, her cheeks tinged with red, pretending to
look casually at the neatly hung ck trench coat on the rack, “Maybe it’s because I’ve lived in the
shadows for too lòng. The less light I see, the more I long for it.”
