Lauren was truly disappointed with the current state of the Harris family. They had all become opportunistic and duplicitous, ready to trample on each other. She wondered when the Harris family had become so rotten. When she was in trouble and vulnerable, they were ready to ruthlessly suppress her; but now that she had value, they were fawning and begging."We're really sorry for our past disrespect, but after all, you're still a member of the Harris family, still carrying the Harris blood. So, for the sake of our family's legacy, please let bygones be bygones and help restore the prosperity of our Harris family!" Caroline had never had to humble herself before her cousin like this. It was the most submissive attitude she had ever taken."Sorry, I can’t help you." Lauren said."Can't you be a bit more magnanimous? Not even willing to help your own family?" Caroline's face changed."It's not that I'm not sympathetic, but I really can't do it! The CEO of Pinnacle Dynamics has declared t

As soon as Director Allen left, Anderson received a call from Gregory."What's up?" Anderson asked."Mr. Campbell, where are you right now? I have some important things to discuss with you in person." Gregory said."I'm in the CEO's office at Pinnacle Dynamics Corporation. Come over here." Anderson said."Alright, I'll be there soon."Ten minutes later, Gregory arrived at Anderson's office."What's the matter?" Anderson asked again."Mr. Campbell, this is a top-secret matter. There are surveillance cameras in this office, not suitable for discussion. Let's go up to the rooftop." Gregory suggested."Alright, let's go to the rooftop." Anderson agreed.The two then headed to the rooftop of the Pinnacle Dynamics Corporation building.It was the tallest building in Lightharbor. Just the elevator ride to the top of the building took about 10 minutes. Once they reached the rooftop, Anderson asked again: "What's so secretive?""Mr. Campbell, I went to Rose Quay yesterday and met the Commander

Before Anderson and Gregory left, Mr. Hernandez advised his son: "Being back this time, you must remember it as a lesson, learn to control yourself, and not repeat similar mistakes.""I understand." Anderson respectfully replied.On the way back, he said to Gregory: "Remember to arrange for someone to pick me up tomorrow.""I remember, I won't forget something as important as that." Gregory responded. ...After leaving Mr. Hernandez's house, Anderson went to the hospital where his biological father, Brayden Campbell, was being treated. It had been over six years, but Mr. Campbell's condition hadn't shown any signs of improvement. Anderson couldn't boast to his father that he was about to organize a wedding. Like his wedding three years ago, Mr. Campbell couldn't attend this one either.Although similar, the outcomes would be different. Anderson was no longer a pushover for others to bully. Those who harmed his father and the Campbell family would not have a good ending.After sitting

The following afternoon, Hannah visited Lauren's office, smiling warmly as she inquired:"Lauren, is tomorrow your wedding day?""Director Allen knows about this too!" Lauren remarked."Of course, who doesn't know about the wedding of the most beautiful woman in the city?" Hannah responded."Director, you jest. Even I'm not sure if my husband can afford to give me a wedding!" Lauren said, aware that this was news Caroline and Christian deliberately spread, aiming to embarrass her the next day."I think your husband is perfectly capable, otherwise, how could he assure you so confidently?" Hannah countered."I don't expect much from him, having a smooth marriage is all I wish for." Lauren replied with a lack of confidence. Despite Anderson's promise of a lavish wedding just for them, Lauren had yet to see any action from him."So, have you found any bridesmaids yet?" It was then that Hannah got to the main point."Just one, my friend Kelly Smith." Lauren was surprised to see the directo

Palmer Miller, an old comrade of Anderson, felt a significant boost in confidence knowing that Anderson had returned to the military to personally command the battle.Upon gathering intelligence, Anderson immediately arranged and directed his soldiers, initiating his plan. He instructed Palmer to pull his troops back about fifty miles to provoke the enemy's overconfidence, herding them into their strategic region.Under Anderson's command, the soldiers at the western frontier began an orderly retreat, marking the first time the enemy set foot on their territory.The sky was brightening.The western front soldiers had completed their retreat to their strategic position. When Anderson arrived there, he would once again sweep the invading enemies clean.Despite staying awake all night, Anderson felt energized. How could he allow himself rest while commanding thousands of troops, with soldiers on the brink of death outside?Dawn was breaking, and the 14th had officially arrived. Today was
