"So I’ll go first!"“Sure,” Edward said, escorting Harry to the door.As Harry left, Edward immediately turned back to his desk, opened his phone, and gazed at it. There was no expression on Edward’s face; his eyes were fixed on the screen. He neither spoke nor made any movement, as if Edward was contemplating something.After about five minutes, he raised the phone and began scrolling through his contacts, searching for Mr. Beson’s name. His fingers typed slowly, one letter at a time. B, E, S, O, and finally N. Yes, he had a matter to discuss with Mr. Beson, and ultimately, he aimed for this person.“The shark of the city,” Edward paused for a moment and then continued, “This nickname is quite fitting.” Saying this, a sinister smile appeared on his lips.Edward clicked on the search, and naturally, in less than a second, Mr. Beson’s name appeared on the phone screen: Benson Jackson. Edward slid his finger to the position where the name was written but didn’t press the call button. Hi

“Okay, you step outside first,” Mr. Benson signaled the middle-aged man to leave. Now, in this spacious room, only he and Edward remained.“There are many renowned martial artists here. Have you chosen one for yourself?” Edward, smiling shyly, pretended not to know much. “I apologize; things are rushed, so I haven’t explored. Moreover, I trust Mr. Benson to choose someone suitable for me.” Edward mocked inside; lying without batting an eye was his forte. Truth be told, he had never intended to learn martial arts for defense. He was here for a different reason. Axiao had no mentor he wanted to learn from. There was only one person he wished to meet, someone who could become a pawn on his strategic chessboard.Mr. Benson said nothing. Choosing a master for Edward wasn’t a major issue.Just then, the door suddenly opened, revealing a man in his mid-forties. He was muscular, wearing a dark green, classy suit, towering at a height of 2 meters. Indeed, the newcomer was Gray Robinson, a skil

The elevator stopped on the 6th floor, and Edward stepped out. He didn’t turn into the restroom, nor did he head down to the hospital lobby. Instead, he turned left, where the rooms of actively treated patients were concentrated. And there was Jasper—his beloved “brother.” Edward found a secluded spot and sat down, quietly observing the situation. Of course, the “hidden” spot he chose conveniently provided a full view of Jasper’s hospital room.After sitting there for about three minutes, Mrs. Sherwood emerged from Jasper’s room. In less than a week, she seemed to have aged significantly, losing almost ten pounds. Mrs. Sherwood, currently in her sleepwear, had disheveled hair, wore flip-flops, and exuded an unkempt and disheveled appearance. As soon as she stepped out of Jasper’s room, she started yawning continuously, resembling a person addicted to cigarettes. Perhaps because of the continuous nights spent caring for Jasper, combined with the troubles she was facing, Mrs. Sherwood h

Ah, that’s right, Edward. I’m about to be discharged!" Mrs. Goreng joyfully shared the news with Edward. The doctor had mentioned that her health had been improving lately, and the surgical wound had healed.“If everything goes as planned, I’ll be heading home in a week!”Certainly, Edward was delighted by this news. Mrs. Goreng was his only family, and he had been deeply concerned about her health. However, Mrs. Goreng’s discharge would pose some challenges for Edward. He would have to spend more time at home, maintaining a good image of being well-behaved and diligent. Every action would need more attention.“That’s great! I’m thrilled, and I’m sure Mr. Benson is too.” Edward said, turning towards Mr. Benson with a smile.“Well, after all, you know how Jackson is. Your mom just talked to him earlier. You’re always busy and trailing behind.”Hearing this, Edward chuckled, hurrying back to hug his mother.“Alright, alright, I know I was wrong. Wait until you’re discharged, and I’ll ta

"Don’t think too much. It’s just that I have quite a few things to deal with.’ Edward spoke gently, and for now, his priority was to reassure Janet. ‘Really?’ ‘Yes, trust me. It’s just work.’ Janet felt a bit relieved hearing that, though not entirely trusting. Edward’s thoughts about another woman lingered in her mind. Men are the most untrustworthy creatures in the world.‘You’re only allowed to have me. If I catch you secretly meeting anyone else, I’ll tear both of you apart. Don’t complain then.’ Edward, hearing this, couldn’t help but shudder. The familiar stern tone persisted. Before accusing others, she should look in the mirror! A woman like her, a flirt demanding fidelity from others, was absurd. Also, if he had another woman, so what? They didn’t have any serious relationship. Edward had expressed no desire for Janet to be his girlfriend; she was his ex-girlfriend from the past, not anymore! Not to mention, what could someone as useless as her do? Stir up jealousy or cry and
