Chapter 21: Christopher Anderson's Revenge
Three days later. The sensational day finally arrived in Emerald City. The Pearl Tower shone like a radiant pearl, scattering the night and glittering brightly over the land. Crowds of people had gathered expectantly around it, wondering - which fairy tale couple would it be? At this moment, Susan was reluctantly dragged over by Emily, dressed in an evening gown. Emily urged, "Hurry up, your mysterious grand prize is waiting for you!" Susan looked doubtful and puzzled. "Why are you so excited? Something seems off?" "Does it? You won the first prize, don't you want to know what the big surprise prize is? It could totally shock you." Emily spoke mysteriously. "Shock me?" Susan looked at the red carpet below in surprise. Upon entering the Pearl Tower, there was a huge screen that began playing a gorgeous, familiar image. Susan froze, staring for a long time. Suddenly she cried out in shock, "This...this is me!" At this moment, Susan's jaw dropped as she gawked stupidly at the sce

Chapter 22: Heart of the Sea
Susan was shocked when the words left his mouth. What on earth was going on here? Emily was also distressed. This was supposed to be her best friend's engagement party, a momentous occasion that should not be ruined. She quickly said in anger, "You can't smash it! Are you out of your mind? What exactly are you trying to do?" A woman's happiest moment was this, and for someone to purposely disrupt it at this time was worse than a petty man, completely unforgivable. Jason's eyebrows furrowed slightly, and the Heart of the Sea he was holding froze in place, as if everything was about to go smoothly and then someone stuck their foot in at the last moment. That sickening feeling of frustration. And the troublemaker made him nauseous with disgust. Christopher Anderson, a man fired from Macro Vision Group. How did this guy show up? And how did he know that Jason was here proposing to Susan again to make up for past regrets? But amidst everyone's confusion and anger, Christopher Anders

Chapter 23: The Supreme King
Charles Anderson was scared out of his wits, shrieking in terror as if seeing a ghost. A chill rushed from his spine straight to the crown of his head, and he broke out in a cold sweat. How could it be him? Heavens, what have I done? No, what trouble has my foolish brother stirred up? The underworld, supreme, most noble, lofty, and most fearsome and only...King! Outsiders didn't understand the meaning, but how could he, someone who came from the underworld, not know clearly? The Anderson family was like an ant by the roadside, base and tiny, while the King was an exalted saint! With one word, he could wipe out the entire Anderson family! As unbelievable as it was, the Jason Gray before him overlapped with the vague impression of "King" he had glimpsed three years ago. It was common knowledge in the underworld that the owner of the Heart of the Sea was the supreme King, but no one knew the King's true identity. Yet he was absolutely certain now that the man before him was King

Chapter 24: Underworld
Looking at the menacing Andrew Taylor and the hired thugs he had brought along, Jason shook his head with a sigh. "It seems you still haven't learned your lesson." "Hmph, the one who needs to learn is you, Jason," Andrew scoffed. "You, a useless fool, dare to marry Susan? You have neither money, education, nor connections. What makes you think you can compete with me?" "Let me make this clear, you don't deserve her. Quietly get a divorce from her, and you may still be able to walk away today." Andrew Taylor stood with his arms crossed, an expression of disdain on his face. He had never suffered such a huge loss in his life before. To avenge this, he had been staking out this place for several days already. Today, he finally managed to catch Jason Gray. Upon hearing this, Jason raised his eyebrows. He glanced back at the Southside Branch and said lightly, "Perhaps I don't deserve her. She is a very kind woman." Just as Andrew felt a glimmer of hope, he heard Jason continue calm

Chapter 25: The situation in the Underworld
"Oh? Kevin Jackson?" Jason raised an eyebrow. The name didn't ring a bell, though he had heard a thing or two about him in the underworld before. But why would he target Susan? Could it be the northern powers of Emerald City trying to extend their reach south? Or was he deliberately causing trouble for Susan? It had to be one of the two! Steven Martin also found it strange. This Kevin Jackson held immense power in northern Emerald City, virtually unopposed. He was known to be ruthless. His reputation in the underworld was on par with Martin's own - the man was a somebody. Usually there would only be some minor friction, but he had never been so brazen. This surprised Steven. He too was worried about the matter. "Investigate first to get to the bottom of this. Have people keep an eye on him. If he dares make a move, then the underworld cleanup will start with him." Jason spoke with an aloof expression. It was a simple line, yet carried an imposing aura, leaving no room for doub

Chapter 26: The Medicinal Herb Farm Accident
Meanwhile, in a nightclub unknown to Jason and Susan, Robert Brown was drunkenly caressing a sexy college girl while chugging drinks with a tattooed man. "That's enough. Looking at your pathetic state, he's just a useless fool. It won't take me long to deal with him. How do you want to handle it? Just say the word." The tattooed man spoke disdainfully and contemptuously. Had Steven Martin been present, he would have instantly recognized this man - the head honcho of northern Emerald City, Kevin Jackson. He was actually consorting with Robert Brown? Hearing this, Robert Brown's face lit up excitedly. He quickly toasted and exclaimed, "Mr. Jackson, if this succeeds, you'll have my utmost gratitude!" With Mr. Jackson making a move, victory was virtually assured. He could hardly contain his elation and smugness, eager to witness the outcome. Seeing his reaction, Kevin Jackson took a sip of wine and aggressively groped the girls' chests. He clicked his tongue and said, "Brother, I hav

Chapter 27: How Lucky to Have Such a Wonderful Woman!
Hearing this, everyone's eyes lit up. There were actually leads? That made things easy. "As expected of Margaret. You care most about company matters and are the most capable. As the young miss, you even condescended to inspect the medicinal herb farm personally. That's truly impressive." "Yes, Margaret deserves full credit for resolving this incident. Well done." "Did you hear that, Susan Brown? Your position could become Margaret's anytime..." Even Old Brown nodded approvingly. "Well done." Listening to the praises, Susan's expression was complicated. Pressing her red lips, she found it ironic. In the past, let alone inspecting the fields, she had lived and worked there under the scorching sun. But how many remembered that? There's a saying - the lover's eye sees beauty everywhere. Anything you do is wasted on those who dislike you. Her mind blank, she suddenly thought of Jason. A warmth filled her heart, like gaining a sliver of reliance. In that moment, she felt no more gri

Chapter 28: Margaret's Abnormality
The following day, before Susan and Jason could even stir, Robert and Margaret had already grown restless. The two convened in secret, fearful that any mishap might occur. Margaret Brown, somewhat anxious, asked, "Are you ready? Can we trust the people you've found? I led Susan to the hotel as you instructed yesterday—don't mess this up." Her envy of Susan was not a recent development. Not only was Susan the beauty of the Brown family, but she was also the most dazzling gem in Emerald City three years ago, with countless admirers. Who, after all, knew of Margaret Brown? It was because so many had admired, secretly loved, and proposed to Susan, only for her to marry that worthless Jason, that many people harbored animosity towards Jason. As for this situation, Margaret didn't actually know any concrete details. It was Robert Brown who instructed her to act this way, promising to help her get revenge. With resentment in her heart, she readily agreed. After all, how dare Susan send

Chapter 29: The Meaning of Regret
"Wait...wait for me?" Upon hearing this, Susan immediately sensed trouble. Why did it sound like they knew she was coming? Had someone leaked the information? Or was this a deliberate setup? Regardless, the current situation was extremely dangerous. With so many local ruffians around, she couldn't contact Jason waiting outside the hotel. Even if he knew what was happening, what could he really do? There were at least a dozen men here. If Jason dared to come in, it would be suicide. Susan felt like she was surrounded by a pack of vicious wolves, leaving her extremely insecure. Her beautiful face turned pale as she stammered, "What...what do you want? Were you the ones causing trouble on my family's medicinal herb farm? I...I think we can talk this through. There's no need for such aggression." Hearing this, the gangsters burst into laughter. Kevin Jackson sneered, sipping his red wine. "Of course, my brothers need to make a living too. The Brown family's business is massive, so pa

Chapter 30: The Useless Son-In-Law Strikes Back
In the past, Steven Martin would never have provoked Kevin Jackson either. After all, that guy was not to be trifled with and had powerful backers - it was too risky to get involved. But now, with just a word from Jason Gray, he naturally had nothing to fear. In the eyes of others, Jason was a useless son-in-law living off his wife. But to Steven, Jason Gray was the real big shot. Looking around Emerald City, Steven felt that Jason Gray was the biggest figure of all. Kevin Jackson was nothing in comparison. "Kevin Jackson, I advise you to come clean for your own good. If you do, Mr Gray might go easy on you. Consider this a friendly reminder after so many years between us." Steven Martin cracked his neck as his men began stepping forward menacingly. Seeing this, Kevin's dozen or so lackeys all changed expression. Even Kevin himself turned black with anger as he glared at Steven Martin and Jason. He scoffed, "You outnumber me, so I'll stand down. But if you think I'll bow to this u
