Chapter 453
The punishment was cruel.
The Kerrs had worked hard for three generations to achieve where they were now and secure a position in the capital.
Now, with the mistakes Timothy made, his family was about to lose half of it.
Timothy looked dispirited and his eyes immediately lost focus.
“What? You don’t want to give them up?” Andrius noticed Timothy’s silence. A hint of frosty glare flashed in his eyes. “Then, your family will be gone for good.”
“No! No! No!” Timothy almost merged with the floor if he continued to lower himself any further. He nodded repeatedly and said, “Wolf King, I am! I am willing to donate half of my family’s assets!”
Half of his family assets might be a heavy punishment, but he would still be able to keep the foundation his family built.
If the Wolf King got angry and decided to go after his whole family, then he would be dead ten times over with no chance of making a comeback.
“I guarantee it!” Timothy forced a willing expression on his face despite the struggle he had in his heart. “I will make the donation by midnight tonight!”
Andrius grunted and left.
When he walked to the exit, he stopped and slightly turned around.
“Remember, I might have resigned from the title, but once the Wolf King, always the Wolf King. The pride of the Wolf King should never be challenged. Any John Doe who wishes to challenge the Wolf King’s pride will suffer heavy consequences.
Then, Andrius brought the men away.
Timothy was left alone in the room. He wiped the blood off his forehead and the sweat that drenched his collar.
“Mr. Kerr.” The secretary got up and handed Timothy a piece of tissue paper.
“Get the hell away from me!”
Meanwhile, Luna wandered into Subzero Bar in a terrible mood. She said to the bartender, Two Blue Margaritas.”
Then, she sat down by the window.
A while later, the waiter served her her drinks.
She gulped down the drinks while her mind drifted away somewhere.
The disappearance of the Wolf King had affected her,
In addition to the severity of this matter, there was absolutely no way to turn things around, hence the sour mood and the excessive consumption of alcohol.
Unbeknownst to her, she did not just walk into the bar but also entered someone’s gaze-
Zenith Mangold, the young master of the Mangolds from the capital. He had just come back to the country from studying abroad.
The Mangolds had intentions to expand their family business in Sumeria, so Zenith was sent here to study the market and search for a better way for his family business to expand.
Zenith had met many beautiful women abroad. Some were sexy while some were innocent, but none were like Luna.
She possessed the looks, the temperament, and the body, and she ticked every box of his. His eyes widened in disbelief when he saw her.
He regained his composure after a while.
He gestured at Luna with his lip and said, “Fly, go find out who that woman is, as detailed as possible.”
“Alright, Young Master Mangold.” His man, Fly, went off immediately.
Zenith continued to look at Luna with the utmost infatuation. He had the money and the methods to get his hands on any woman he liked.
As a playboy, he had slept with many women in the past but was able to pull himself out before anything serious happened.
It was all because he did his homework before approaching his target and struck the woman at their weakness. Be it a sexy one, a frosty one, a cute one, or an innocent one, no woman could escape his clutches.
“Young Master!”
Fly came back after a while.
hapter 454
“Her name is Luna Crestfall, linked to the Crestfalls of the capital, and also the CEO of New Moon Corporation.
“She has a husband who comes from the mountains in the west, but judging from the news, I’d say she’s not getting along with her husband.
“Also, she ran into some trouble lately. New Moon Corporation wants to venture into the medical field, but when they submitted their prescription to the Grand Medicinal Competition, Hydra Pharmaceuticals accused them of stealing.
“She’s in a terrible state now and might face jail time. The Crestfalls are also having a hard time.”
Fly’s report was detailed, and Zenith’s eyes lit up.
A woman was always vulnerable in front of the face of a crisis.
If he could use this situation to his advantage, he did not have to worry about Luna not falling
for him.
He already had an idea of how to start.
A Rolls Royce stopped in front of the gate of Dream’s Waterfront, with several other Bentleys behind it.
Zenith came down from the car.
Behind him, Fly and his other men came down with boxes of presents.
“You are…”
Harry came out with a bitter look. He had no idea what Zenith and his men were doing, and they looked suspicious. His brows tightened.
“I believe you are Uncle Harry, right?” Zenith saw Harry’s face before in the picture, so he recognized the man at first glance.
He went up with a confident look and said loudly, “Nice to meet you. I am Zenith Mangold, the son of Langley Mangold from the capital.”
The Mangolds from the capital?
One of the wealthiest families! They were even more powerful and wealthier than the old Crestfalls!
Harry then looked at the men behind Zenith and saw the boxes in their hands. They seemed to bear goodwill, hence his energized look.
“Young Master Mangold, nice to meet you.” Harry smiled and asked passionately, “I wonder what brings you here.”
“Actually…”
Zenith put on a bright and courteous smile before explaining, “I met Ms. Crestfall, Luna,
outside and she astonishes me. I am here to propose.”
Propose?
Harry raised a brow. He did not have a problem with other men proposing to his daughter since he never liked Andrius since the first day.
However, the marriage between Andrius and Luna had been set up by his father, Belarus. It
ight not be easy to kick Andrius a from Luna.
Zenith saw the unusual expression on Harry’s face, and he knew exactly what the man was concerned about. Then, he revealed something shocking to the man.
“Uncle Harry, are you worried about the case regarding Hydra Pharmaceuticals?”
Harry was shocked. It seemed like this young man came prepared! He even knew about the Crestfalls‘ recent case!
However, what was his intention in mentioning it now and here?
Could it be…
There was only one thought in Harry’s mind. He asked, “Young Master Mangold, you are trying to say…”
Zenith curled his lips and casually and affirmatively said, “Uncle Harry, if you let me marry Luna, I can settle this case with ease.”
Harry was stunned before it was replaced by an instant delight.
New Moon Corporation was facing a major crisis, but Zenith, a young master from a rich family in the capital, was willing to help.
It was not a difficult task! It could be done within minutes!
Besides, if Luna really married him, Harry would not only secure his position in the family, but the Crestfalls‘ status would skyrocket, reaching the heights of the wealthiest family in
East River State.
It was the reason why many girls dreamt of marrying a rich man.
“Great! Great! Great!” Harry looked at Zenith excitedly as if the young man was already his son -in–law. He then said, “Young Master Mangold, I can see that you are serious. Let me call Luna right away!”
He picked up his phone and called Luna immediately.
“Luna, come back to Dream’s Waterfront right away. A VIP guest is waiting for you.”
Luna arrived home after a while.
“Ms. Crestfall, nice to meet you. I am Zenith Mangold from the capital.”
Zenith could no longer hold his excitement back when he saw Luna at the door. He gave her a bouquet of 99 roses to express his admiration for her.
“I had no idea what love at first sight was until today. I simply thought it was a catchphrase uttered by young hormone–driven men, but I was wrong. “From the moment I saw you, I understood the meeting of love at first sight. I knew we were fated. I love you!
“I love you like the wind that travels the world without a return date; I love you like the
sunrise and sunset, never changing, I love you like the stars in the sky, uncountable. Luna,
please let me take care of you for the rest of your life!”
Then, Zenith knelt down on one knee and presented her with the roses.

Chapter 455
Zenith was an eloquent person.
He relied on his words and money alone to fool those girls abroad and bend them to his will
In addition to his romantic roses and temptation of money, no woman would be able to decline his sincere confession
However, Luma did not even talk to him. She fancied a man like the Walf King, a powerful man who was on the top of the world, not some guy with an eloquent tongue who thought he knew a lot about women.
He was incomparable to the Wolf King
“Luna, why the silence?” Harry signaled her with a glance after noticing her silence. He sair) softly. “Young Master Mangold is from the Mangolds, a rich family from the capital.
Before Harry could finish, a large group of people stormed into the house,
George and Dick led the group of people, who were the rest of the Crestfalls, in.
“Luma!”
“The internet is laying waste on New Moon Corporation. We have lost all our reputation and your time is running out. I think you shouldn’t rely on Andrius to solve this matter Hurry up and apologize to Mr. Kerr!”
“Yeah! Go apologize to Mr. Kerr!”
All of them surrounded Luna
Colin and another one of his cousins went up to Luna and tried to drag her into the car to send her to Timothy’s place.
Zenith was delighted because this would be his chance. He stepped up and stood in front of
Luna
“What is this? What are you people doing to her? Can’t you guys sit down and talk? You are all family!”
Colin did not recognize Zenith, but he recognized the Rolls Royce and the Bentleys outside the house Therefore, instead of lashing out at him, Cohn simply bellowed. “Who are you? Why are you meddling with our family affairs?”
“Lasten closely. I am Zenith Mangold from the capital,” Zenith said proudly, announcing his
hathe and status.
The Mangolds of the capital?
The words shocked both Colin and Dick The Mangolds were stronger than the Herts, and there was no way the Crestfalls could afford to offend them.
Colin stopped and asked timidly, “What are you doing here, Young Master Manguid?”
Zenith ignored him. He turned to Luna wath a sale and said. “Luna, as long as I’m here, no one can force you to do something you don’t like
Chapter 455
Women loved a sense of security!
He believed he had filled the atmosphere with the most security that he could provide.
Zenith felt good about himself. He pulled his phone out to call his father, Langley.
“Father, I have something that I want to talk to you about.”
He was careful because he was unsure that his father would help, so he did not put the speaker
on
“Hydra Pharmaceuticals is going to sue New Moon Corporation and Luna. Can you do
something about it and stop them?”
As soon as his voice subsided, his father’s roar blasted his ears.
“You little sh*t! Are you thinking with your d*ck? Who is Luna? Why are you doing this again?
I told you to go to Sumeria to expand the market and connect with the local business, not ask you to f*ck around! Keep your d*ck out of this!”
Langley knew his son’s bad habits, hence the scolding.
“Stop thinking with your d*ck and work on the business I gave you
Beep!
there!”
The phone call ended abruptly after that, but Zenith was not angry at all.
He did not want to lose face in front of the Crestfalls, especially in front of Luna, so he forced a smile on his face.
He feigned relief and said, “Great! Thank you, Father! With your help, this is settled. I will bring your daughter–in–law back soon!”
He then pretended to hang up the phone.
He looked at Luna and said, “Luna, don’t worry. As long as I am here, nothing will happen to you or your family.”
Colin and Dick exchanged a quick look and spotted the anxiety in each other’s eyes.
Their plan was on the verge of success, yet this John Doe popped up from nowhere and wanted to disrupt their plan. They could not allow this to happen.
Therefore, Colin feigned a kind look and said, “Young Master Mangold, are you serious?! wonder who you are talking to at Hydra Pharmaceuticals?”
Zenith was stunned. He was lying because he had no idea who to talk to at Hydra Pharmaceuticals.
“Yeah, Young Master Mangold. This is important and our whole family’s profit is involved. I wonder if you can be more detailed about this,” Dick continued in concern
‘Detailed? What the f*ck?‘ Zenith cursed inwardly, but if he continued to be quiet, they would expose him soon.
He stammered, “It’s the… the…”
“Ms. Crestfall!”
Chapter 456
“As for where I got it, I actually got it from the Crestfalls, from Dick and Colin Crestfall I have failed the great support that the government provided and I have failed every Sumerian’s expectations of Hydra Pharmaceuticals. I am truly sorry about this, Ms. Luna Crestfall
donate half of the Kerrs‘ assets by midnight today as a token of apology for this incident. I am sorry.”
Unbeknownst to them, Zenith was just as shocked as they were. His father had told him to stay out of this, so it should not be his father who had done this.
Chapter 457
The father and son duo stammered in silence while their family berated them. They were unable to come up with anything to argue back. Then, they clenched their teeth and decided to ask for Luna’s forgiveness.
“What is it?!” Harry bellowed. “We will go see Father right now!”
Chapter 458
“Luna…” Belarus felt bad for his granddaughter. “You have suffered a lot because of this. From now on, I will put you in charge of the Medical Society’s project. You have full control over it.”
