The wide yard and garden of the William Family Estate, "Aurora," which once exuded solace, space, and nature, now bustled with fire trucks and reporters clamoring to enter the already chaotic scene.Reporters from various news outlets gathered, microphones in hand and cameras rolling, eager to capture the latest developments in the arson incident.Facing a camera with the still ongoing fire in the background, one reporter began, "Good morning, viewers. We're here outside the prestigious William family estate, where earlier today, a shocking arson attempt took place. Details are still emerging, but sources indicate that Fermina William, the matriarch of this esteemed family, allegedly attempted to set fire to her own son-in-law, Gregory William.""Gudofredo William's only son-in-law, Gregory William, was left behind in the yard of their estate while his family fled to safety. Does this imply that the prominent son-in-law, who spearheaded developmental projects benefiting the lower clas

Exiting the Royal Eleanor Hotel triumphantly, Marcus Xu was thrilled by his success in taming his mother-in-law.“First step done. Wait and see, I’ll become someone who can smack your face,” he muttered to himself, contemplating the rewards that would aid in his revenge against Reyster Sebastian.Lost in his thoughts of victory, Marcus was suddenly approached by a stranger. “Are you alright?” the stranger asked, concern evident in their voice.“Me? I’m fine,” Marcus replied, tilting his head in confusion.“Here, buy something to fill your stomach,” the stranger insisted, offering him two dollars.“Huh? No, I’m–” Marcus began, intending to return the money, but then he realized that he was the one who seemed out of place. With a mask covering his face, barefooted, and wearing only his casual home attire, Marcus felt a pang of embarrassment.“Where did my head go?” he awkwardly muttered, accepting the money gratefully. “Thank you for this; I’ll spend it well,” he said, quickly moving aw

Marcus stood frozen in shock as Margarette suddenly writhed in pain, her face contorted with agony. Panic surged through him, uncertain of how to react to the sudden turn of events."What's happening? Are you okay?" Marcus asked, his voice laced with concern and confusion.But Margarette only responded with a strained gasp of pain, clutching her baby bump, and her breathing was shallow and rapid.Sensing the urgency, Jaucian sprang into action. Without hesitation, he rushed to Margarette's side and swiftly dialed for a doctor."We need help, now!" Jaucian exclaimed urgently into the phone, his voice steady despite the panic in the air.Marcus watched dazedly as Jaucian took charge. Then he flinched when he heard a thud from inside his brother’s room. His concern for Margarette suddenly shifted to his brother.“Good luck giving birth,” he said, releasing her and hurrying to his brother's side.“Fucker,” Margarette groaned, squinting as she watched Marcus leave her. She then yelled, the

In the hospital, Marcus found himself thrust into the role of the father of the William family’s newborn eldest grandson. It was a surreal twist, akin to being cast as a CEO in a real corporate drama.But for now, he had to project the image of a caring father to those around him."Please fill out this form, sir," the nurse said, casting a hesitant glance at Marcus."What's it for?" Marcus inquired, sensing the nurse's unspoken thoughts."It's still sad about Madam being in a coma, but congratulations on your baby boy, sir," the nurse offered, her words laced with empathy.Marcus managed a smile beneath his mask, touched by the nurse's genuine concern for the baby."Thank you," he replied simply, before focusing on the form in front of him. His hand paused midway through filling it out as a thought occurred to him. "Why do Margarette and Greg both have the same surname?"He realized he had spoken aloud, and a wry smile tugged at his lips as he noticed the nurse's reaction."Why are yo

Inside Philip Cheng's office, tension thickened the air like a heavy fog.Marcus, with a steely gaze, sat across from Philip, whose expression was a mask of solemnity.He drummed his fingers impatiently on the armrest of his chair. "Well, Philip? Don't keep me waiting any longer. What do you know about Reyster Sebastian?"Philip's lips tightened into a thin line as he met Marcus's gaze. "He's desperate for credentials and acknowledgment.""As if I didn't know that. I know how to search for information about my enemy too," Marcus scoffed, his patience wearing thin. "I know he has to impress his father, CEO of Jaypark Steel Co., so what tip do you have?"Philip leaned forward, his voice dropping to a whisper. "Megarev Industrial Co. is on the verge of closing down operations.""So what? Is it Reyster’s fault?" Marcus commented."No. It's the perfect chance to buy the company cheaply. And Jeyster trusted Reyster with the bid to expand their business on hydraulic equipment manufacture. Wh
