Upon seeing Mrs. Sherwood’s message, Edward wasn’t particularly surprised. Her reaction seemed to be part of his plan. She had been so confident before, and now she was hesitant. If there was any mistake in this, it would be like sending her own son to jail.However, perhaps Mrs. Sherwood had not fully grasped the complexity of the situation, particularly that she didn’t know who the anonymous person was. Maybe she thought that a large sum of money would solve everything. But how could she have imagined that the anonymous person was him – the one she always looked down upon?Perhaps, even in her wildest dreams, Mrs. Sherwood couldn’t imagine this. How could a poor and insignificant person like him have such evidence? How could a weakling like him dare to send anonymous threats to her seven times?The important thing was money, someone whom she didn’t even think had $200,000 for his mother’s surgery, let alone something for Jasper’s debt or to rent a car for Jasper. None of it was poss

Cipher simply thought that Edward wanted the best for him, and what Edward said made perfect sense. Thinking so, Cipher nodded without hesitation.“Yes, sir,” Cipher replied.“In the future, at school, don’t call me ‘sir’ anymore. I’ve told everyone that I’m your older brother,” Edward said. He didn’t want to reveal any flaws, however minor they might be.“Okay, big brother,” Cipher replied hesitantly, his eyes showing both shyness and embarrassment.“You go into the classroom; I’ll head back now,” Edward said, and then turned away. He had everything arranged, and there was no need for him to stay here any longer.Cipher was led into the classroom by his homeroom teacher. Just as Edward had instructed, the young boy chose a seat right next to Matt. His first day of school went smoothly.Meanwhile, at the hospital, Felicia came to visit Edward. Felicia still didn’t know about Edward faking his medical condition. She firmly believed that he had been seriously injured in the previous acc

“Father, please calm down and let’s continue this conversation when you’re composed.” Felicia gradually regained her composure. She didn’t want the argument between the two of them to continue, especially with so many people around. Continuing would affect Mr. Swan’s reputation and her own.Unaware of Felicia’s intentions, Mr. Swan thought she wanted to dismiss him and this added fuel to the fire. He couldn’t maintain any composure or rationality anymore. His own daughter was now arguing with him in front of outsiders, which he absolutely couldn’t accept.“Do you want to kick me out?” Mr. Swan erupted, and unconsciously, his way of addressing her changed. This was the first time in his life he called Felicia “you.” However, he didn’t care about that; his sole concern now was Felicia’s disrespectful behavior. She had changed.“No, I don’t,” Felicia replied, lowering her tone of voice. She had grown tired of arguing with Mr. Swan.“You’re becoming more and more like your sister, arguing

In the morning, Edward woke up, opened the curtains, and looked outside. The weather today was beautiful, with gentle sunshine and a clear blue sky.“Today’s weather is really nice,” Edward couldn’t help but exclaim.If he were just an ordinary carefree student, he would undoubtedly have a wonderful day out with friends. However, he couldn’t afford to be carefree. He had too much to do, and he didn’t want to lead a dull life, relying on his parents for money like others. He had to be an Edward who stood above the rest, someone nobody could underestimate. He would reclaim everything that belonged to him soon.Having said that, Edward quickly got dressed. He slowly buttoned up each button on his shirt. At this moment, his phone rang, just as he had guessed; it was McKay’s number.“I’ve investigated what you asked for. Matt doesn’t have many hobbies. The only thing he’s really passionate about is plants; he’s loved exploring them since he was a child. As for things he dislikes or fears,

Mrs. Sherwood thought for a moment and then turned to Emily with a smile.“Alright, it’s not a bad idea.”Indeed, this was the best option for her. She couldn’t blame Emily and herself for taking this course of action. If anyone was at fault, it was the person deliberately pressuring her. What mother wouldn’t do everything to protect her child?Emily said nothing further, and the two Sherwood women looked at each other with a mix of sisterly affection and together planned the terrible deed they were about to carry out.On the other hand, on that day, Edward didn’t let Cipher take the bus back. Instead, he drove directly to pick up the boy. One, Edward wanted to continue observing Matt and Cipher’s current situation. Two, he needed to execute the next step in his plan.Parking in front of Brighton College, this time Edward didn’t just wait for Cipher, he walked directly towards the boy’s classroom. About five minutes later, Brighton College was dismissed. Cipher came out of the classro
