“You are just an outsider; what do you know to speak like that?”Katherine bit her lip, her expression almost tearful. Uncomfortably, she spoke.“Of course, I know. I am his legal wife! Hamza, I understand you bear a grudge against my husband for making you lose face, but you can’t talk badly about others like this!”Hamza sneered.“Sure, you’re on the inside. You’re his intimate partner. Do you really know anything about him? Can you answer my questions?”Katherine, with an uncomfortable expression and on the verge of tears, replied.“I know. I am his legal wife! Hamza, I know you hold a grudge because my husband embarrassed you, but you can’t speak ill of others like this!”“I’m speaking ill? Well then, you tell me. Where is your husband right now, and why did he leave you stranded here like this?”Katherine, thinking about what the man had said, which was information from the king, hesitated to reveal the truth.Nevertheless, this was undoubtedly confidential information, and Justi

Mrs. Laura paused, unaware of what Julie was saying. Seizing the opportunity, the girl quickly added, “My dad is very rich, not any less than Mr. Verney, more. He has dozens of villas, many luxury cars, a private yacht, plenty of servants, valuable jewelry... In short, my dad is very wealthy.”Julie asserted confidently, causing Mrs. Laura to pause for a moment. But then she immediately composed herself and said, “You’re talking nonsense!”“I’m not talking nonsense. It’s all true. Think about it. Who else could cause a scene at Mr. Sherwood’s party? Nobody could make him humble either. My dad was the first.”Mrs. Laura thought carefully for a moment, finding Julie’s words reasonable.Seizing the moment, Julie continued, “That’s right, so now if you mess with me, it won’t end well. Besides, my dad said he’ll give you a villa this time, some properties in the city center, lots of designer goods, luxury cars, and everything you and mom want.”The girl spoke with enthusiasm and excitement

“Why? This fool.”Mrs. Laura once again hurled insults at Mr. Thomas. She pointed at his face while scolding, “Someone as foolish as you will never get rich. Just think about it. That brat Justin is so wealthy. If we mess with Katherine and Julie now, wouldn’t it be humiliating for us? We might as well sever this relationship completely. What we need to do now is to build a good relationship with him. We are his in-laws, and he’s trying to make amends for Katherine and Julie. When that happens, we can profit as much as we want.”Mrs. Laura felt pleased with her thoughts. She leaned back, dreaming about moving to a bigger, more elegant place, maybe a mansion no less grand than the current Sherwood estate. She couldn’t contain her laughter at the idea.The dream of wealth seemed just a touch away, with luxury cars, gold and silver, designer goods, spending without a second thought; everything seemed so simple.“So now what we need to do is to sweet-talk Katherine and Julie. Let the bait

"Alright, you go ahead," Verney said, obviously having no reason to stop Justin and also unable to stop him.In a fleeting moment, Justin assessed his surroundings. To his right was the IV stand, and to his left were some medical machines of some sort. Justin glanced upward and saw the pale yellow fluid inside; he truly had no idea what it was, and he knew that if he asked, he would only receive vague answers.Currently, the distance from Justin's hand to the IV stand was about thirty centimeters, his arm span was about sixty centimeters, and Verney was standing at a sixty-degree angle relative to the IV stand. If Justin were to swing his arm now, it would collide with the stand, causing it to tilt towards him. Verney's current distance from the stand was about one meter, and at his fastest speed, he wouldn't be able to reach it in time to catch it.Furthermore, a human can lean and twist their body to catch an object at about forty-five degrees, plus the length of their arm span. Ver

Justin carried his suspicions with him, determined to clarify this matter before returning to Newtown City.Holding the pill bottle in his hand, he silently stowed it away in the secret pocket of his uniform, then closed his eyes to sleep.According to the schedule, this afternoon was the time Justin would leave the Mozzafiato country.Therefore, in the morning, he woke up early, changed clothes, and went to the hospital’s pharmacy.But halfway there, he remembered that the pharmacy had been blown up since yesterday.Justin turned around, silently analyzing whom he should seek. At that moment, as he lifted his head, he suddenly saw Harry approaching from the opposite direction.“Lord Justin.”Harry had also spotted Justin and quickly approached, bowing his head in greeting.In Justin’s mind at that moment, he thought it was perfect timing. Just as he was wondering whom to seek, Harry appeared, and he seemed like a decent choice right now.“Perfect timing. I was just looking for you,”
