The Secret of the Deputy

Chapter 1

It was just another day at a bus stop in Horington.

Some men and women stared and pointed at a young man in public clothes but handsome.

"Hey, it's Travis Carlson, the most famous piece of trash in Horington and the son-in-law of the York family!"

"I can't believe such trash can marry Quinn York, the prettiest woman in town. It makes no sense at all ".

"He may not have made love. They may be married, but it is a known fact that they do not even share the same room. Quinn had no choice but to marry her, not thanks to her grandfather's orders. But now that the old man has been dead for over a year, why have I still not heard anything about divorce? "

"I suspect it's because they've been stuck with their family business that they don't have time for it. But still, the Prism Group that has worked hard to build Yorks is officially listed in the market today. It's only a matter of time until Quinn divorces her ".

"really? Who will remain married to the waste of a husband who can do nothing? "

Travis had heard everything, but he maintained a calm expression as if he was completely unaffected.

Despite his prime, he lives the life of a retired man.

Travis has long been used to it.

Today is the day that the Prism Group of York families is registered.

He should be in the company building before 10am for the celebration.

Public buses are too crowded. Travis had waited so long for a vehicle that was not too crowded but to no avail. The fact that she has the cake needed for the celebration does not help either.

& lt. I'm screwed if I ruin the cake. & gt

With no other choice, Travis could only spend more money to call a private car.

At that moment, the extended Maybach stopped in front of Travis and honked twice.

"Holy! Does private car service really use such luxury cars now? " The man rubbed his eyes, not believing what he was seeing.

Suddenly, his gaze sharpened upon seeing the logo of the crimson wolf in the car.

& ItThe Blood Wolves! & gt

Travis carefully observed his surroundings. After making sure there was nothing strange around him, he opened the door and jumped in.

"My lord!"

The man in the driver's seat, who was wearing a fancy suit, removed his sunglasses and white gloves before greeting Travis with great respect.

"You're wrong, Drakken", replied Travis blankly. "I was an orphan when Charles took me in and raised me. Unfortunately, I am more of an introvert who is not good at interacting with others, while Tristan is a flattery expert. That was why Charles liked him and saw him as the next leader of the Blood Wolf. He even trusted Tristan's baseless accusations against me and tried to kill me, all so that he could ascertain Tristan's position within the Blood Wolves! I wouldn't be alive today if William hadn't protected me using his family ".

Drakken lowered his head the entire time and sighed after Travis finished speaking. "It's all over, My Lord. Ever since Lord Charles died, Tristan took over and ruled the Blood Wolf like a tyrant. The entire organization had been turned upside down, and the hearts of the people had been spread out. We're done if you don't come back and put everything back in its place! "

"What if you're done? What does that have to do with me? " Travis responded coldly. "I've given up on the Blood Wolf ever since I left. All I want now is to live my life in peace as an ordinary guy ".

& ltOnce a Blood Wolf, always Blood Wolf! I'd believe someone else would say that to me, but this is Travis. There's no way she feels that way! & gt

Travis grew up in the Blood Wolves, he and his organization are practically inseparable.

He himself knew that he could not hide his true feelings from the drakken. Conflict struck him like a wave.

& I was driven out by the Blood Wolf, and now, they're the ones who want me back. Who are you guys to tell me to go around? & gt

Angry, Travis said, "I have a cake to deliver. Don't come looking for me again ".

Then he prepared to leave the car.

"My lord!" Drakken shouted to Travis before giving him a business card with trembling hands. "I will never dare to defy your orders, My Lord. But if you change your mind, call me whenever you want. The Blood Wolf will always be waiting for you! "

His words are sincere and heartbreaking.

Even Travis, who had long since strengthened his heart, almost shed tears.

He swiftly picked up the card, got off the vehicle, and boarded the next bus to Prism Group.

...

A stunning figure stood at the entrance of the Prism Group, looking visibly anxious.

He is none other than Quinn York, the prettiest woman in Horington and Travis' only wife in name. Their marriage has been widely ridiculed because of the stark differences between husband and wife.

No one knows Travis' true origins before he married into the York family. They all thought he was just a pest William York found on the streets.

It was because even after so many years, Travis never did anything to prove himself.

Instead, the adult man would spend his days visiting the food market and bargaining with merchants regarding the prices of ordinary vegetables. Then, he would go home to cook and clean up.

Everyone in the York family looked down on Travis, let alone outsiders.

"Hey, Quinn! Are you waiting for me? " Travis approached his wife quickly.

Quinn looked at him with disdain. "What took you so long? The party's about to start! "

"I'm a little delayed" Travis muttered like a child who had made a mistake.

"Then why don't you leave early if you know how important the event is today? Did you do this intentionally? Or are you not done making us trouble? Our family branch has been removed and talked about since I married you! I have worked very hard here over the past few years only for Grandma to allocate more family resources to me in return. That way, we won't be left in the cold! And you can't even come on time? I'm really starting to think you're a curse! "

Travis bowed his head regretfully. "I'm sorry, Quinn".

Quinn looked at her husband, quickly realizing that he might be too rude. "All right, let's go in. Really am... You just can't do anything ".
