Chapter 21
Phillip handed over the phone, and Rex quickly dialed a number.
“Mr. Preston, it’s me. Rex Rex begged. “I’m in a bit of a situation here and can’t handle it. I’ll owe you my life. I swear!
“Isabel, this is bad! They’ve called Mr. Preston! He is no joke, worse than Rex Simon overheard this and immediately grabbed Isabel’s arm
“Rex is just one of his lackeys. Word on the street is that Mr. Preston doesn’t hesitate to kill, and he’s got a brutal reputation. We can’t mess with someone like him…
Seeing Simon’s panic, Rexa
x and Phillip grew even more confident
Now you know what happens when you mess with me, huh? I’ll tell you, when Mr. Preston gets here, you’ll wish you were never born. If you’ve got the guts, stay where you are” Rex sneered, his tone dripping with arrogance.
“Shut up” Isabel calmly picked up an apple and tossed it straight into Rex’s face, blocking his words.
She then yanked the thug who had been thrown onto the sofa off it and sat down herself.
“Isabel, let’s get out of here! Once Mr. Preston arrives, we’re done for!” Simon was nearly in a panic now, unable to comprehend how calm she was “It’s fine” Isabel took out her phone without a care, scrolling through her Instagram.
The apple struck Rex’s nose with a force that left him speechless. He was too wary to say anything more, unsure what she might throw next–and he wasn’t eager to find out.
About half an hour later, Rex’s call was finally answered. Mr. Preston arrived.
“Finally! Mr. Preston’s here!” Phillip cheered, looking starstruck. This was the first time he’d ever seen the legendary Mr. Preston in person. It was a stroke of luck that one even got this chance.
“Mr. Presion, you’re here!” Rex grinned, trying to mask the pain in his stomach as he rushed to greet the man.
Tyler Preston’s gaze swept over the room with indifference. What a mess. He thought. But when his eyes landed on Isabel, he was visibly surprised. Isabel glanced at him lazily, unimpressed.
“What’s going on? Tyler asked.
“Mr. Preston, it’s this woman. She’s causing trouble and messing up with some of our guys!” Rex complained.
Isabel responded casually. “They were bullying my brother, so I’m just getting even
“Mr. Preston, this woman’s too cocky Rex continued, “You’ve got to deal with her. She’s not easy to handle–she knows how to fight….
Slap!
Before Rex could finish his sentence, Tyler slapped him across the face, knocking him sideways. Rex stumbled, his cheek immediately swelling up with blood.
“Mr. Preston what Rex stammered, confused
“Kneel” Tyler’s voice dropped, the fury in his words making everyone freeze.
“Huh?” Rex was shocked.
“How dare you talk back?” Tyler raised his voice. The thugs, already trembling in fear, shrank back even further.
Hang! Rex fell to his knees, his face contorted in terror.
“Mr. Prestou.” he squeaked, not daring to look up.
Tyler glanced at Simon, who visibly flinched, unable to look him in the eye
“Mr. Galvrz, I’m sorry.
try. Were these guys giving you trouble! They’re all here now–anyone who wronged you, feel free to take it out on them. Tyler

stepped forward. His tone was
tone was smooth, even respectful.
Simon was speechless. He couldn’t believe this was the same Tyler Preston he’d heard such terrifying rumors about. He glanced at Isabel, unsure
what to do.
“Since Mr. Preston said so, go ahead and take your revenge. You’ve been wronged before, now’s your chance to make it right.” Isabel replied nonchalandy.
“Really?” Simon couldn’t believe it.
Yeah, go
- it. I’m just sining here. They won’t be able to flip the script. Isabel nodded.
Encouraged, Simon walked up to Phillip and slapped him hard across the face. “You deserve this, Jefferson!”
Phillip was dazed, unable to understand what was happening “Rex, help me?” He cried out.
Rex, still kneeling before Tyler, didn’t even dare to move. He was too terrified of what might happen next.
Simon slapped Phillip a few more times and kicked him while he was down. One by one, he made sure each of the thugs who had bullied him in the past paid the price.
By the time it was over, Simon was wiped out
“This is so tiring.” Simon looked at Isabel for support.
“Fine. Since you’re tired, Rex, apologize. Don’t make me spell it out for you. Tyler’s cold gaze lingered on Rex, who was still Yes. Mr. Preston… Rex scrambled to his feet, his voice shaky.
kneeling
“Mr. Galvez, I’m so sorry! It’s all my fault. I didn’t see who I was dealing with. Please, forgive me… He crawled over to Simon and, with a desperate look in his eyes, knelt.
Seeing Rex grovel like this, Phillip finally realized the severity of the situation. All the thugs in the room were now on their knees, begging for forgiveness.
“Well, Mr. Galvez, will you forgive them? Tyler asked calmly.
“No way.” Simon snapped, mind racing. These guys had been bullying him for far too long, just because his family was poor. They thought they could take advantage of him. This time, though, he wasn’t going to let it slide.
“Alright. You all heard him Tyler turned to the thugs. “He won’t forgive you, so if you want to live, you’ve got to cut off an arm or a leg as penance. “What?” Simon couldn’t believe his ears. He stared in shock.
The thugs were terrified. Rex, particularly, threw himself at Simon’s feet.
“Mr. Galvez, please! Spare us! We’re just a bunch of trash–please don’t punish us… Rex’s desperate cries sent a chill down Simon’s spine.
As he stood there, stunned, the sickening sound of a bone snapping echoed through the room. One of the thugs had just had his arm broken–Mr. Preston had done it with one swift motion.
The arm hit the ground with a sickening thud. Simon froze, his body shaking. He hadn’t expected Mr. Preston to be this brutal
The rumors about him were true–he was heartless, merciless: His mind lingered in fear.
Phillips passed out from the shock, his body collapsing to the floor. Rex and his men crowded around

| Simon, groveling.
“Mr. Galvez, please
beg you! Don’t let us de like this!”
Simon realized that if he didn’t forgive them, they would be the next victims of Mr. Preston’s wrath.
“Mr. Calves, if you’re still not satisfied, I’ll continue… Tyler spoke up
“I forgive them?” Simon quickly said, his voice shaky. He was terrified of what might happen next. The brutality he’d just witnessed was enough to make him agree to anything.
“Alright. Since Mr.
- ir. Galvez has forgiven you, let’s leave today behind” Tyler said with a smile, his tone cold but polite. “But next time,

The thugs, seeing Simon’s decision, immediately prostrated themselves before him
